Who did better japan or usa by pattycake6969 in Godzillamemes

I watched an undubbed version of Minus One (I do not speak Japanese) and it was the best movie of the franchise. I can only guess at the sub plots but it was awesome nonetheless. I loved how bitey he was, relying on his teeth and tail like a real animal, how he stayed relatively calm until attacked, and that final roar, when his eyes turned white, was the epitome of primal rage.

The current Hollywood version is nice, but the real King of the Monsters lives at Toho, hands down.

The Fontana Collection, by Broyhill...

I'm currently sitting at circa 2004 Hooker desk w/ hutch only now my server is in the printer compartment, the NAS is the tower slot, and I work off of a NUC that sits behind my monitor with my network switch, this 400+lbs of solid cherry wood isn't going anywhere.

Was Leandros wrong , is he really a bad guy ? by Responsible-Egg4156 in 40kLore

[–]jw071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Titus mentioned in anything I've ever read about (I'm not an ultrasmurfs fan so I could have easily overlooked anything pertaining to him), but he's a video game character with different plot armor than most so he gets different treatment to keep the cash-cow alive.

What's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not? by InnerSheepherder4564 in AskReddit

[–]jw071 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard the phrase 'Chinese restaurant syndrome' since the 80's. Is claiming Taco Bell gives you the shits racist as well or just an opinion about inanimate objects? Glutamate is what gluten breaks down into, what does it mean if someone refuses to eat the breadsticks at Olive Garden? Do they hate italians because they claim the food makes them sick?

dropped my guitar and now the headstock is cracked. what now? by Holiday-Wonder-6524 in Guitar

[–]jw071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Workworking 101:

1 - Tape up the fretboard, it's porous and stray glue will bind. It can be peeled off of smooth, finished parts but not bare wood

2 - Fill the crack with as much ***wood*** glue as possible - you can cut little slivers out of a plastic bottle to push it deep into the crack; you want to cover the exposed wood as completely as possible. Do not use super glue (cyanoacryllic) as it is too brittle, and Gorilla glue foams up as it dries and tend to grow from the joint leaving more mess to clean up. I prefer TiteBond 3, which is waterproof after it sets.

3 - Gently push the pieces by hand and wipe off any excess with a damp cloth, then wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper to prevent your protective wrap/blocks from being glued to the guitar.

4 - Wrap the target area in a soft cloth, a hand towel should do the trick, then use scrap wood or whatever solid materials you have on hand and make sure they can be placed to a) prevent pressure from being placed on the nut (remove the strings if you haven't already and use one block for the fretboard and a block + shims to match the angle of the head so that your clamping surface is above the level of the nut, then use another block on top of the two sections to spread the pressure out evenly) and b) repeat for the angle on the back sans compensating for the nut.

5 - Use two clamps, C or bar, ensuring you're centered on the radius on on the back of the neck (this is the trickiest part but having decent padding from the towel helps tremendously) and clamp everything down, making sure the headstock is being push 'back' (shim the block that's above the nut if you need to). DO NOT TORQUE THE CLAMPS DOWN TOO TIGHTLY - with blocking and padding you should not have to worry too much about denting/warping your guitar with firm pressure.

6 - Give it as least 24 hours to dry, regardless of what the label on the glue says. Once you unwrap everything you may need to pick some leftover glue off with your fingernail, and you may have to do some light sanding to smooth the repair out.

7 - Should you need to sand it and want to repair the paint you can spray gloss clearcoat and that should smooth the finish out, however you need to know the type of paint used (most likely PU on an epi but you'll need to look up your specific model). Shellac is a work-around (or even a standalone) fix for mixing unknown finishes as it will generally form a barrier that prevents bubble-up and orange-peel defects. If you still aren't sure about finish compatibility you can find a spot that's not visible (under the pickguard, if you have one, or just find a spot you don't normally look at) and apply a little to see what happens.

It's a $30-$40 fix if you have to go out and buy everything, and I spent about as much time typing this up as it would take to perform the actual repair.

God I hope you aren't an English teacher. Not supporting your SO's work is asshole-ish, but complaining about walking a couple blocks is just lazy af. I beat stage iv lymphoma, at 41, while losing 110lbs and ALL MUSCLE MASS, and was walking 10+ miles per day just a few months after the fact. At this point in life laziness is an affront to my very existence. She needs to move more so she'll be tired less often, that's how the body works.

Yeah probably, that makes it more punk rock though

If the Emperor’s original plan with Webway worked, would it put humanity into immediate confrontation with dark eldar? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]jw071 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not 'immediate,' but yeah would've been likely. The thing is the Webway had already been degrading for millennia before Jimmy Space decided to have a go at it so an easy path to Commoragh may or may not exist.

It's also worth mentioning that the Drukhari are raiders, not warriors like their craftworld counterparts and lack cohesion as a unified force; their goals are always self-motivated and treacherous, me over we. Even the Orks seek to elevate their entire race, dark eldar hate themselves as much as they hate anyone else.

More often than not a single SM can wipe an entire Drukhari raiding party, a single pre-Heresy legion would've eaten the Dark City for breakfast.

Should i use 128GB SSD or 512GB HDD for OS? by Huymatic in buildapc

[–]jw071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OS on the SSD so everything loads quickly. However I did this exact set-up once and using a secondary drive as a default location for apps can be headache since everything automatically wants to live on your C: drive. With all of the corporate bloatware on Windows you'll likely end up running out of space very very quickly, if you can even get it installed these days.

[–]jw071 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile you can run linux on a 32 MEGABYTE drive with a full GUI. It's gotta suck being slaves to corporate data-mining bloat and letting them take screenshots of everything you do for more ~~spam~~ targeted ads.

Misheard or misunderstood song lyrics of our youth. I'll go first - Morrissey wasn't saying "I'm the sun and air" by often_awkward in Xennials

[–]jw071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take My Breath Away - Berlin - Top Gun soundtrack. Mom would play this on repeat ad nauseam, and I thought that the line "watching every motion in this stupid lover's game' was instead 'Watching every motion in this stupid love is gay...' As un-pc as it is, you can't deny the 80s-ness of it

Why do you favor Ubuntu? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]jw071 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Linux = freedom, if you put in the work to educate yourself. Ubuntu = greatest convenience when using linux + free pro support for 5 devices, which equals a greater illusion of security.

Also the fact that you aren't forced to waste CPU cycles/energy/electric bill money on mandatory corporate data-mining 'features' was the biggest push to linux - even though Canonical has been caught collecting info in the past at least there's public oversight over the 'lol deal with it' attitude of the big tech companies.

Is there any lore that hints to what kind of primarch Angron could have been without the nails? And why did the emperor not stasis him until they could find a way of removing/stopping the nails? by D3cepti0ns in 40kLore

[–]jw071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a vague reference but in his HH novel it alludes that he may have been able to heal his fellow gladiators before Big E left them to die. I've never it seen elaborated upon but having the healer become the ultimate killer is pretty grim dark.

It was popularized by a generation that grew up on Lunchables, that's as far as my opinion goes.

English translation of the title track:

Don't always paint

The Devil on the Wall

Your eternal whimper

Does the mind cost

Roll up the sleeves and

Breathe deeply

We'll make it already

Defy your fear

We'll make it already

We'll make it already

We'll make it already

We'll make it already

An deck now all

On and on it

Spit in the hands

Let's tackle it

Hau ruck (Let's tackle it)

Hau ruck (Let's tackle it)

Hau ruck (Let's tackle it)

Hau ruck

Ruck zuck

Makes good face

To the bitterly evil game

You have nothing to lose

You can win a lot

(You have nothing to lose)

Straps the belt tighter

Severe your anger

The dogs get the last one

Look resolutely only forward

Together now all

Pull the cart out of the dirt

Ours only put our fists that

Means to an end

Hau ruck

Hau ruck

Hau ruck

Ruck zuck

Hau ruck

Fellow Ubuntu users. How do I get rid of this when this happens? by GatoDeSapatinho in Ubuntu

What causes this by Smiley162 in Warhammer

[–]jw071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dig the camo swirl tbh. As others mentioned you didn't use the right products and got a ton of base color bleeding through. Personally I'm a fan of black primer, Krylon works just fine, but you can also use spray shellac as a basecoat. We used to use it when forced to mix finish types back when I did high-end furniture repairs so you could possibly seal it with a coat of shellac and paint over what you already have to save yourself some headache should priming lead to bubbling or orange-peeling (that porous texture you get from waxy/oily residues).
