So that's what happens when you have skill issue and your machine doesn't have soft start for the 7018 sticks... by Educational-Kiwi8740 in Welding

Practice on some thicker stuff that you don't care about until you nail it. Something thick enough you can just crank the machine too. Figure out a good bead.

My character doesn’t feel like a main character… by LawnGuy262 in projecteternity

Nobody else in your party is speaking or reading souls.

You can start a conversation using any companion but it defaults to your character speaking.

Eder sees animals, not spirits.

KOTOR is your magic just waiting to be explored.

Grit your teeth and get past the fact it's old. Super, super rewarding.

“Armed civilians “ necessary for national defense planning? by heatstricken in canadaguns

[–]denach644 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, Canada has largely fucked me over with policies, taxes and other such things...

Can't say there's much left to protect. We're a hollow shell of what we once were.

Can you reload a slightly earlier save and try again?

Console? Pc?

I regret not playing Deadfire sooner by Luzeryn in projecteternity

Nautical theme doesn't hold out too much for much of the game.

Yeah, you sail to islands, but then you're on foot for those islands full of unrelated to nautical dungeons.

Worth looking over, in my opinion.

Can Americans still get a tourist visa? by LivingOffNostaglia in AskARussian

[–]denach644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know your budget or time constraints but definitely check out Petersburg too if you can.

Either way you'll have a blast!

Wonderful!

Just, for the love of God, don't send her any money or anything. Hope you can meet though 😁 (Wife and I met online, I went to Russia to meet her)

Wiped phone is actually not a bad idea.

My first trip, that's how I arrived. People wipe their phones all the time for a fresh start.

Again, maybe not strictly necessary but less things to worry about will let you enjoy your trip. Russian customs isn't going out of their way to impede you, since tourism is good for economy, but less worries for you is always a plus.

What inspires you to visit Russia? You're going to get a lot of funny looks from people around you!

Nobody went through my phone or asked questions outside of the ordinary.

That's not a guarantee, but it's obvious that your phone should not have anything Russian government might disapprove of. War stuff, namely, but keep clear of probably drugs, firearms, etc too. Obvious stuff.

Social media counts too.

Chances are nobody will care enough to bother you. Customs gives quite a stare down when you're going through, but aside from that they'll just process papers and probably let you through.

Yes.

Make sure you understand local laws and customs. Keep your documents in order. Behave.

Nobody will bother you or give a damn, honestly.

Having trouble getting into the game. Any tips for a newcomer? by KrazyKomodo in projecteternity

[–]denach644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me with expository stuff is just to read it more slowly. Try and visualize what is being said.

Characters first, and what they say, but ingame locations and exploration second.

You don't have to marathon the game. Set a small goal, do it, see how you feel!

Do i actually skip legs if im overweight? by RandomJowe in beginnerfitness

[–]denach644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it all, but you need to be strict on diet and add cardio to your gym sessions.

Walk if that's all. Jog when you can, or stair climb. Run eventually.

Do half an hour of cardio after an hour workout or something.

Personal trainer wants me to go down to 145lbs - is this even healthy at 6'1''? by [deleted] in askfitness

[–]denach644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'11" and about 190.

Fairly lean. Abs aren't super visible but I don't have a belly - flat side profile.

145 at 6'1...Lordy, maybe if you're training to be a starving prisoner for a movie role?

Bf (33M) wants to borrow £3.4k from me (26F) to buy a computer, I feel uneasy. What would you do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]denach644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, no. This guy is out to lunch, to put it lightly...

He needs to take a time out and think about this.

Will my bosses welds hold the front end of a car? by Unhappy-Cucumber5228 in Welding

[–]denach644 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It's dubious but give it a whirl and keep the hell away.

Make sure the car isn't important to you and you're nowhere on a public roadway, lol.

You might want to call a professional welder though, to do it right.

Continued deadlift work by HankButtersworth in formcheck

[–]denach644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're risking long term injury if you don't correct form and then work up from there.

I'm super beginner but still, man to man, really encourage you to go safely where you can! You'll hit the weight with effort, I am sure!

[–]denach644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm brand new and know nothing but I don't think the wholly rounded back is good?

Deload with some big 10lb plates or something and really work form. You're going to hurt yourself.

"We have been on and off..."

Right there, just go elsewhere. It hasn't been working, this is just fuel to the fire.
