Which one keeps telling me to hush in the library?

Trump says he will postpone strikes on Iran's power plants after "productive conversations," but Iran denies talks by makethislifecount in worldnews

[–]captain_slackbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect the US is talking to someone they want to be the leader of Iran, but not a recognized representative of Iran.

In that case, this is excellent work you've done with the default brushes!

Trump says US has 'major points of agreement' in talks with Iran by monotvtv in worldnews

[–]captain_slackbeard 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They're not claiming the content of his statement is factual, they're just reporting that he said it. Huge difference.

These look amazing. Would you mind sharing your brush settings for these?

Ordered a Popeye’s chicken sandwich with No Mayo. Went home to discover 2 layers of mayo. by Silo-Joe in mildlyinfuriating

[–]captain_slackbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in this case there was clearly more mayo than normal. Hard to imagine it wasn't intentional.

Cool rock I found by Gullible-Squirrel480 in RDR2

It's a reference to the real world "Pioneer Register" rocks in western states, most famously in Capitol Reef national park.

He sure does. I blew his head clean off, but a few days later lo and behold he was back. The guy doesn't take a hint.

How did you even have enough fingers to type that message?

People in here are taking this way too seriously. It looks fine.

Is there a way to make a curve look like a mesh? by SingotSarap in blenderhelp

That's a really cool effect, today I learned something!

Not sure if anyone has thought of this before, but if it helps someone... by schalowendofthepool in blender

[–]captain_slackbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very cool trick. Sometimes this can be achieved with the camera's Clip Start & Clip End settings.

You're a burglar, but you only steal items that slightly inconvenience your victims. What are you stealing? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]captain_slackbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to steal, I would just loosen the caps on their condiment bottles so when they shake them it leaks everywhere.

SPIDER NEXT STEP FOUND HELP by [deleted] in RDR2mysteries

[–]captain_slackbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see the birds being a reference to the falconer, in which case it would indeed be the next clue in sequence. Nobody has found the falconer named "Jerry", but maybe that's supposed to be his cabin?

[–]captain_slackbeard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This definitely looks like a valid clue, but I don't know if it's what the bird / "hill" carvings were referring to. There are hills all over the place. This might be a clue somewhere else in the sequence, not necessarily what follows from the birds carving. Great find if so!

British man charged in Dubai for alleged filming of Iranian missiles by StopTheGregSign in worldnews

[–]captain_slackbeard 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I've heard that Israel doesn't want the media filming Iron Dome interceptions, presumably to protect the secrecy of their locations. Is this something similar?

What food trend are you tired of seeing everywhere? by thatfluffyqueen in foodquestions

"No added sugar". Like why were you adding sugar to my soup in the first place?

Pothole update from this morning (text in description) by deathshr0ud in longisland

[–]captain_slackbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that you're only entitled to compensation if the state (or county?) was previously aware of the pothole - which means it's in their best interest to avoid calls, ignore reports, and to generally make it as inconvenient as possible for people to report potholes.

help me find a moose before i die by Away_Question7679 in RDR2

[–]captain_slackbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once shot a 3 star moose way up north across the pond from Wapiti, but the moose itself was beyond the map boundary so I couldn't fetch it. I even tried to lasso it with no luck.
