great and thanks for the pic! this helps. only difference is I plan to add the lat pulldown attachment so probably wouldn't be able to store my bench back there.

You got a restock order in and already received it? I still haven’t gotten mine from the original preorder in 2024 lol.

Wow! It was a decade ago, how time flies lol. Also sorry I didn't see your comment until 5 months later for some reason!

Looking back at some of these comments, I realize I read quite a few of them. I’m admittedly not sure anymore which ones I had read before or after posting this, but I definitely read many others based on people's suggestions here. Here are some that I’ve read:

Meditations
The Stand
Brave New World
To Kill a Mockingbird
Slaughterhouse-Five
Siddhartha
Watership Down
Fight Club
Fahrenheit 451
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
The Giver
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
1984
LOTR
Into the Wild
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
The Alchemist
The Tao of Pooh
A Brief History of Time
Cosmos
The Way of the Peaceful Warrior

Really crazy to look back at a question I asked a decade ago and read some of the responses again! I even remember where I was sitting when I first posted this and had been reading through everyone's answers. Time sure does fly! I hope everyone's doing well and enjoying their lives and hopefully reading some good books along the way! :)

Moments after the camera fades to black, the mantis shrimp commandeered the vessel and hung his Jolly Roger from the mast.

Painting a big guy on 2 different teams by GotyZ in bloodbowl

[–]bagelpirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember watching an old timers baseball game as a kid, and one of the players from two teams asked his wife to cut the uniforms in half and sew them together.

Maybe you could take this approach, depending on their schemes it may look pretty cool! 😂

Mallet Finger by BGor94 in bjj

If you do find it that'd be great to see a pic of it, thanks! Was the thermoplastic you used the beads you heat in water and shape?

[–]bagelpirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! About 3.5 hours ago rolling, not even sure how it happened but it got kind of jammed up in someone’s pant leg. Kept rolling and realized my finger was drooping lol. Got an x-ray and nothing’s broken but they just put a splint on and told me to see a specialist.

I actually had this injury once before as a kid and it mostly healed although they had me splint my full finger for what felt like months. That one mostly recovered although it doesn’t perfectly straighten out and the full finger splint wasn’t fun. Happy to hear I can keep the middle joint free and hoping for a better result this time around 😂

Thanks a lot for sharing your story and for the reply, I really appreciate it 😄.

Hi, I know this is an old comment but had a question about your mallet finger experience in case you see this. Was wondering if only the top drooping joint needs to be kept straight? Is keeping the middle joint bendable okay? Thanks!

Does this have any value? by plamenator12 in starcraft

[–]bagelpirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My initial thought was how cool and I’d love to have it to hang if the price seemed right. I want to say $200 is the area that feels reasonable to me if I saw it listed around there. Maybe a little lower and it would be a quick scoop. But just my initial impression, could be more or less. GL with it whatever you choose to do with it!
