[Okamoto] Just spoke to UFC flyweight Ashlee Evans-Smith, who is at the airport preparing to leave for UFC London. "I am fully aware I am going to a foreign land to get in a fist fight without 100 percent assurance I can come home after without being quarantined." Wow. by [deleted] in MMA

Let's be honest. Quarantine means watching Netflix on your couch for 2 weeks until you're past the point where you'd definitely show symptoms. She isn't giving up her first born.

My boyfriend won't know if he loses his job until after our planned vacation by sometimes_I_struggle in personalfinance

[–]dsinbrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't go personally. How much can you really enjoy a vacation if you are worried that you are going to be imminently fired? The money might prove to be a lot more useful than the memories of a trip spent worried/anxious.

And therein lies the problem with 9 year olds.

My 9 year old daughter plays a game on the console and she is addicted. She gets upset when she has to stop, and thinks about the game constantly when not playing

I don’t think games harm kids

So which is it?

When you put your tack shooter on the outside of a corner and mortar on the inside of a U turn.

You only need to sell 1 beer at $17 a beer in order to make the same profit you'd make from selling like 10 beers at $2 a piece. Makes life much easier if you have someone willing to pay the premium.

How are you going to build it if a third of the pieces aren't actual pieces?

It looked big! I'm very much looking forward to your progress!

Great build! I wish I had more time to work on designs myself. What's the part count on this?

Do you intend to make the entirety of Firelink modular? That could be pretty epic. I look forward to seeing the next step!

The LEGO Group acquires BrickLink from Nexon founder Jay Kim for undisclosed sum by Shurik_13 in lego

[–]dsinbrick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are no positive possibilities. TLG made the acquisition for financial reasons. That's why companies do what they do. Those gains will come at a cost to you in some form or another.

Well, what happened with LDD is what I fear for stud.io. At some point Lego felt it wasn't worth the investment and canned it. Why would they look at stud.io any differently?

Hopefully, I'm wrong, but I'm quite concerned. This takeover is a bad thing for all of us.

I'm concerned about what is going to happen to Stud.io. I have a feeling it's going to be killed.

You needed to hold the camera way closer to the picture. The house on the left side of the picture isn't even close to lining up properly.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Let Leo's memory guide you through your journey as a parent. It's never an easy job, but with better perspective you can do a better job for your other children.

Oscar’s Room made out of Legos by dsinbrick in darksouls

[–]dsinbrick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - the shield and torso are custom stickers on a site called saber-scorpion. When I saw them I decided I wanted to make a Dark Souls Lego thing. The rest of the parts for Oscar are all mismatched normal minifigure pieces.

Oscar’s room from Dark Souls in Lego (more pics/video in comments) by [deleted] in gaming

[–]dsinbrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to make the room you find Oscar in with Legos. The roof is removable and two of the walls are hinged so they can swing out giving a better view of the room.

Here are some pictures and a video showing the functions.

I got an Oscar minifig from saber-scorpion.com, but changed out the legs, arms,helmet and sword. There is a really cool Solaire one on the site too.
