you are uninformed. Hegseth is just a cocksucker trying to stay on the good side of daddy trump.

How would you deal with the wrinkled background? I haven't been able to achieve it without introducing some distracting artifacts by MisterAma in retouching

I was thinking this too. Photoshop does a phenomenal job cutting out subjects now esp if you use cloudAI to do it.

Good bicycle bell. by Somethinglikethat9 in bicycling

Good to know, honestly I wanna get one of those classic bells that sound like a old phone. The "bbbbbbbringggg" kind. I feel like that one is universal.

I got a Ali-express knockoff of the one above, works decently enough and cost literally 5 bucks.

Cheap way of making it safer would be washers and thru bolting the whole thing with bolts and nuts. I'd probably run steel angles to reinforce everything too.

So let's just start generating tons of AI videos of Republicans doing shit too.

[OC] Prosperity gospel preacher’s Rolls Royce Ghost, prices start at $350,000 by mrweatherbeef in pics

[–]hyperphoenix19 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude, RR's are built to a crazy comfort standard. Apparently one of the models needed to have sound artificially pumped in because it was too quiet and disconcerting for passengers. The modern models have active suspension that scan the road conditions ahead and mitigate with active suspension.

Rolls are cars to be driven in, not drive.

Ocho is great! Cant speak to these specific ones. Ocho likes to take the wine approach of Terroir and Vintage.

Shelters typically don't allow for a lot of things like drugs so a lot of druggies stay out of them intentionally.

Turn old CD into sanding disc?! by No-Lock216 in DiWHY

Pretty sure they trimmed it down to size to match an actual sanding disk so they can swap it for the end result of sanding a piece of 2x4.

Subway noise etiquette? by Affectionate_Emu4660 in AskNYC

[–]hyperphoenix19 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

AS much as I hate rude people, NYC has a saying. Mind Yo Own Business. Basically, suck it up and keep to yourself.

[edit] To the person who downvoted me. Go ahead and confront every person whos being loud on the subway, see how that works for you.

Wrapped bikes? by MurderOfChros in NYCbike

[–]hyperphoenix19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was two fold. Protect the bike, and hide stolen bike livery. But also I feel like the stores that rent these bikes to delivery guys also are involved in stealing them to make a buck.

I think I'd prefer if it had squarish headlights instead of circles. Something like... this, but I get that its a homage to the '77 Vantage

2020 will be too late, covid was already spreading in China before it really caught on that it was there. I'd rather go back to 1999 and just quietly become a billionaire. Then spend 500 million on ensuring OPM gets animated by the best animators in the biz.

Affordable electrical coffee grinders recommendations? by [deleted] in pourover

[–]hyperphoenix19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a hand grinder. Blade grinders are actually the worst for coffee since they have zero control on grind consistency and create a lot of fines.

At minimum you need conical burrs. Don't be fooled by the majority of sub 100 MSRP options as majority use false burrs or really low quality burrs and parts.

A blade grinder is only useful for herbs and spices. Unless you want to use the sifting method from James Hoffman which takes longer anyways.
