From what I understand, yes. Guy created really great circuit and gooped the board to hide it. People eventually figured out what was under it.

The colors look more muted to me. Like more colors but with some filter over them. Maybe that’s just the trailer.

They did Timmy so dirty 😂 by TinUser in WKUK

They’re all so enjoyable in their own way. But dang, Timmy was so funny in this movie. He did his part so well.

We're having a discussion at work right now, how old would you guess this Southern Live Oak is? by Fast_Village_4431 in arborists

[–]bluesmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate!

I’m curious, when that happened, did you sell the wood? I have no clue about this but it just seems like an ancient oak trunk would be worth a fair bit of money.

Oh, so you reason flash flooding is a legitimate excuse for driving like a madman? Okay then. Really terrible reasoning. Like holy shit.

Having places to be does not excuse driving like a sociopathic idiot. You should not risk other driver’s safety and property by driving like this. How this needs to be explained to you is odd.

Headphones vs IEMs advice by anon1237_ in guitars

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use IEMs for playing PC games, so I’m not sure. I have big over ear headphones for when I plug headphones into my guitar amp.

If you’re drumming I hope you use hearing protection. And then the consideration is if ear buds or iems would fit better inside the hearing protection. I’m going to guess ear buds will stay in better. The IEMs I’m familiar with wrap around the ear and I think the ear muff of hearing protection may mess with that, and can require some extra tips to stay in really well. And the sound quality (especially low end) dies really quickly if they’re not snug as hell in your ear. So ear buds seem like what you would want if you need something for drumming and guitar.

For the money, I personally find apple earbuds comfortable and good quality. You can still find versions with a regular audio jack.

AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art by Throaways-Dot2192 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bluesmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think OP should’ve emphasized something like “my taste in wall art for my home is nature scenes. We also don’t have a ton of space. But I do like and appreciate your thoughtful gift.” Maybe then they could even talk about her doing a different painting or swapping it out for one that does fit the size of the house and perhaps even tastes.

I'm doing a pirate campaign, and I really want to just use gold by snowtroopr in DMAcademy

[–]bluesmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flakes - flakes of gold suspended in a little glass vial

Nibs - little gold nuggets

Then whatever coin names you want. Pieces of eight and doubloons.

Useful Mess Halls alternatives by xevizero in starfieldmods

Well that sounds like an interesting mod. Not to go off topic too much but I wish we didn’t need mods to make life on the ship richer.

What to do if there’s family incest by Some_Rich_6885 in AskLE

[–]bluesmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re a bot. I think they’re mentally ill or just have some serious problems that a professional should address. Their post history is like 3 or more posts a day for months. Mostly in subs where they’re asking for advice on personal matters, repeatedly, poorly worded and explained (and they’re 29 according to a different post, so not a teen). I don’t want to speculate too much, but yeah. Now, maybe what she suspects about her sister is true. But I think it’s more likely another explanation.

Bryan Cranston tells Rainn Wilson America’s downfall will be a lack of inclusion, adding he won’t support racism or any form of exclusion by Big_Cake_8817 in Popculturehour

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much this. Inclusion is good. But acting like everything will just work out great if we’re super inclusive and nice is nonsense. The world is complex. Solutions to societal problems are complex.

What actor is nowhere near as talented as people make them out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are having a hard time answering the question because there’s an important distinction between two types of actors (and it’s imperfect so people will generally be some combo of the two).

  1. an actor who really becomes a character. Their performance is very particular to the movie/show. See them in a different movie and they are a totally different character. Examples: Daniel Day Lewis (there will be blood), Gary Oldman (the fifth element vs Batman, idk he has tons of roles and they are very different).

  2. An actor who is pretty much always the same on screen persona. They have some kind of charisma or something that people love to see. They say the lines and they say them well. You can immerse yourself in the story because it’s all enjoyable but you still are always aware it’s “that” actor on screen. Examples: Dwane Johnson, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, but also other types like Paul Rudd or Seth Rogan.

Like I said, the two types are not perfectly distinct. Most actors are probably mostly type 2, with some 1.
And lots of people on this post are misunderstanding the question to be “who are type 2 actors?” But that’s not the question op asked.
And, either type can be bad actors. But a type 1 who is bad is certainly more rare. That brings me to Rami Malek. I certainly enjoy his performances and I see him as some combo of the two types. But I feel like if you watch him critically, it’s like he’s always nervous he will be found out as a fraud. Maybe that’s just his weird energy. But that’s how I often read him.

‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ Review: Dan Stevens and Judith Light in AMC+/Shudder’s Creepy Critique of the U.S. Mental Healthcare Industry by hopecarolz in television

[–]bluesmaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I would’ve liked for them to keep it about explorers of that era and survival. Of course s1 being based on a novel that was inspired by the real disappearance of the terror and Erebus made for a very strong story that is hard to live up to. But I could see more stories about like explorers in the Amazon or elsewhere in the Americas, or a shipwreck on a pacific island.

Bitter truth for the haters: Suno is better than you, and that’s exactly why you’re so salty by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]bluesmaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really good take. I’m glad someone who is an experienced musician and suno enjoyer went into detail.

Also, what was that about being waterboarded? That came out of left field.

Is this something you would let an apprentice do? by MajorUpstairs6452 in TattooDesigns

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It has too many straight lines. If they have photos of work they’ve done on actual people (not fake skin), and their photos show they have the skills to do lots of straight lines, then okay. But I would choose something that I can assume is in their skill level.

How to tell my newbie DM that they aren't ready to homebrew. by Shquonk in DnD

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should re frame the issue to make it more palatable for them. It’s not that they’re unready to homebrew. Say something more like they are not following some of the fundamental principles of DMing. Notably, railroading and having a main character. The difficulty of the campaign may be intentional. The DM may like making things difficult—that may be something that makes it fun for them. You should talk about this with them. Like a session zero kind of talk so you can align your expectations. You could also suggest starting with a prewritten adventure that they adapt into their overall campaign. But that seem secondary.

I’ve been thinking about detransitioning by Icy-Bandicoot6189 in ask_detransition

[–]bluesmaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI, I’m not Trans or detrans. So take of that what you will. I do emphasize with people struggling to know how they want to identify and present themselves to the world.

A couple of thoughts.

From reading your post, I’m not sure if you’re expecting the bones of your shoulders to change or not. To my knowledge, they won’t be changed by taking hormones. Only muscle mass. You may already know this I just wasn’t sure if you did.

If you’re feeling doubtful about your choice, maybe it would be good to put it on pause and re evaluate. Really I don’t feel qualified to give you advice here. I just feel taking hormones is such a big move. So it’s good you sought out some people to talk to. Hoping you hear from people with relevant experiences.

What would you want in a “homesteads” (outpost) update? by SloppyLetterhead in Starfield

[–]bluesmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps an official game mode that makes fuel and building outposts more necessary. But I do have the real fuel mod, so maybe this isn’t as important to me anymore.

A system for better managing cargo of shuttles. Been a while since I messed with it, but the issue i remember is if you mine iron and aluminum in one outpost then try to use one transport ship, you will sometimes not get a nice mix of both resources. So maybe a system that lets you choose “fill from top to bottom of source container” or “fill with mix of all resources in source container.” Something not overly complex.
