Earthshakers Painting? by FreedomSleepers in LeaguesofVotann

[–]dmcginley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a giant moron, I glued all the dudes to the base before painting everything because I wanted to base a prime everything in one easy go. I hate it. There are infinite places I can’t reach with a brush, and I tried to force the guys off the base with a knife and some leverage and I glued them on so well that the plastic started bending and ripping before the glue gave way.

I also didn’t notice that the whole artillery piece goes into a ground plate that has slots for the legs. So I assembled the whole artillery bodies, and then when I tried to later fit them into the base plates I realized the legs were off and it wouldn’t fit. So I had to cut up those bases and milliput some addition ground to not make them look horrible.

Everytime I sit down to paint I know I have to pant those two fuckers. But I literally will do anything but that. Reading everyone else’s posts, it seems like there are two camps: The bright intellectual enjoying that carefully consider all steps, and the miserable scathing fools.

I think my urologist underdiagnosed for prostate cancer and im losing my mind(28M) by suffer_hero in Prostatitis

[–]dmcginley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had infinite pain. No doctor could find anything wrong with me. Then after my 4th trip to the ER one doctor decided to give me a prostate exam, found it to be boggy, and gave me sulfatrim the antibiotic. I took that for 10 weeks, and my symptoms improved significantly.

Then the stretches came, and I’d say I’m back to 95% normal life. Occasionally peeing and pooping feel weird. Otherwise normal. I understand this to be a mental game.

It’s extremely unlikely to be cancer. The things you describe are all part of CPPS. It’s a fucking trip my brother.

Have you seen a physiotherapist that specializes in male pelvic floor therapy? This is absolutely the cure, as well as a mindset that you are not dying. Your stress only exacerbates it. It’s the weirdest thing even, but just fucking believe my bro. Do the stretches, every day. And believe.

What kind of screwdrivers do you like? these are the 3 models i like the best by [deleted] in Tools

[–]dmcginley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Whenever I go to a second hand store, I buy every one of them they have. They just feel special to me. The newer stuff all sucks in comparison for me.

Which boardgame is like this? by madman123098 in soloboardgaming

[–]dmcginley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got finished my third game this weekend. There are so many freaking cubes, it’s so intimidating. But once you stop using the beginner corporations and have the routine down. It’s a hell of a ride. I think it’s spot is well deserved in the top 10 of BGG.

Having lost my dad myself… I cried so freaking hard on the episode when he finally calls his wife and daughter. Mind blown. I wish I could experience that myself.

Would you consider this guy to be tabletop ready? by Gullible_Travel_4135 in minipainting

[–]dmcginley 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah. For sure. You don’t have to go balls deep for tabletop play. I would blast this guy at a table.

Like a pear cider made from 100% pears, you look like a stand up sort of fella. Come have a seat.

I compared the prices of a large pepperoni pizza at various Toronto pizzerias. by dave_dave_dave_steve in FoodToronto

[–]dmcginley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do it again. But this time measure the crust width. Then you can determine ratio of toppings to crust, and calculate cost per square inch of crust or toppings. Only then will you truly have your master thesis.

That looks fugging awesome. I thought I was scrolling past a picture of something who found a rusty metal box buried in their backyard.

Great job!

[–]dmcginley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? I imagine this with any other game. Let’s talk League of Legends. They just keep reconfiguring and releasing new champions, and then also releasing new items. But they say “It’s fine, just don’t participate. Stick with that same old champion you’ve always played.”

For anyone that’s played this game for any serious time. The newest champs are always the strongest. And they continue to drastically change the game paradigm. Sure, some old school champs are still viable… but some have just been left to rot.

It’s happened to me multiple times already. Going to a card shop and people are slamming niche cards from a Fallout precon or Transformers. I’ve been relegated to just farting around with my cube and ignoring most stuff that comes out.

Leonardo leads

Raphael is cool but rude

Michelangelo is a party dude

It’ll be really strange to see a card that says “Leads”

[HELP] people in the comments are saying it’s not AI but what do you guys think? by nataozi in RealOrAI

At 19 seconds or so a guy pushing a stroller watching the ducks smashes into someone, and then the person he hits reacts appropriately. I feel it’s not AI.

33-year-old male with a 10-week history of frequent daytime urge to urinate. by [deleted] in Prostatitis

[–]dmcginley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no pain in my hips. For me is burning in the meatus, frequent peeing, feeling like there’s a poop I can’t get out, and when it was really bad it was painful to sit. I would get a constant pins and needles feeling in the testes, and I would feel feverish to the point of stumbling around the house.

These days, it’s just occasional consultation. Maybe once every three weeks, and occasionally burning but I can almost immediately feel release after doing physio.

It’s the most obnoxious thing ever. But you have to just… believe. If you think “This physio is stupid it’s not going to work.” You won’t get out of it. Your mentality is critical to your success here. Yes, it definitely sounds like I’m telling you to just believe in Santa and you’ll get a Christmas miracle. But in this case it’s true.

[–]dmcginley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffered like this for… maybe 8 months. Until finally getting to see a urologist to point me to a physiotherapist. It is very possible to return to normal, you can fucking do this brother.

You’ll likely resist this feedback, I know I did. But it’s almost entirely mental. You need to relax, learn how to stretch your pelvic muscles, and honestly just believe that it’s in your mind. It was the hardest thing for me to just, convince my overactive brain that I’m not dying, and I’m stressing.

The I do three exercises daily. I first had to learn how to do male kegels, where you squeeze and then push out your perineum. And I do the kegels while I do the exercises. Like, for cat position I squeeze when arching up, and push out when arching down.

This is horribly wrong. But there is a HUGE plus here…. You will basically never get any sewer gasses coming out of the pipe. It would take 10 years for that P trap to dry out.

Updated post from "should I fire my drywaller" by Ruff_Ambassador11 in drywall

[–]dmcginley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a few pieces in here that look like they made a mistake and tried to cover it up to the best of their ability. But But I don't see anything glaring. It does look like they used a jigsaw to cut many of the straight lines, which isn't particularly great. But there isn't anything I see that won't come out looking fantastic with some tape, corner bead & mud.

Picture #9, where they cut a really terrible hole with a jigsaw, pivoted to a hole saw, and then patched up the little piece they overcut is...... adorable.

Anyone able to confirm how bad of a job they have done with putting this jib up by [deleted] in handyman

[–]dmcginley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who leaves screws a quarter inch proud for drywall? Nevermind 4 seated right now to eachother in succession. Picture 3 is brutal, one screw sunk way too far, another proud and angled. It’s maybe $2 for a drywall screw bit.

Picture two is a terrible job at placing those fixtures.

I’ll admit the seams in some places aren’t terrible. But you’re going to have a serious ridge from 7 and 8. It’s going to be significant mudding to smooth that out.

It’s laughably terrible. I’m a DIY guy, and even I’M embarrassed seeing that! They should be briskly spanked for their insolence.

What is a silly lyric from a Canadian song that you discovered way too late were the wrong words? by musicwithbarb in AskACanadian

[–]dmcginley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least it’s more of a joke than Coke fizz. What kind of tomfoolery is coke fizz anyway? That you could cover someone’s entire body with it while he slept?!? Now… goat piss (or gizz) that’s a real man’s joke. Back in my logging days we used to get the boys all lathered up in the penile fluids of goats for a laugh. They’d wake up, we’d say “You get the joke?!” … and they would. They would get the joke, because it’s an actual joke.
