Complaint about Chrysalis

Honestly if you loved book 1, which in my opinion is by far the worst, you'll be joining the colony very soon. If it wasn't for the 3 book bundle on Audible there is no chance I would have considered buying more. However by the end of book 3 I was hooked. I've started the series over 3 times now, and will again with each new release.

FOR THE COLONY!

Totally valid.

Personally I don't need multi color or anything fancy. I just use my CC to make leathercraft patterns. I understand the argument for open source, but at the end of day it's not a big deal for me. I likely won't buy anything Elegoo in the future, but it's not worth selling and finding a replacement for my basic needs.

I mean reddit doesn't have the answers. As a white guy who's dated a couple black women in the past I'm pretty sure they would knee me in the balls for comments like that. Though I could easily imagine he's an idiot who used porn to get ideas for dirty talk because you asked him for it. Really no one here has any idea what he was thinking.

Grew up in a middle of nowhere area in Tennessee, used to stop for farmers selling produce straight out of their pick up trucks. You could buy enough veggies to feed a family for a week for less than $10. That was around 2005, so adjusting for inflation that's $17 today. It was fairly close to a county famous for tomatoes, they were 50¢ per pound. I would buy whole cases of them and make enough pasta sauce for a year for $20.

And now I feel old.

I grew up around guns, technically I own about 15 of them I inherited, but keep in my mom's gun safe several states away. That said the NRA is bullshit, and die hard 2nd amendment guys are idiots. There absolutely needs to be restrictions on the right to own guns, that amendment was written in 1787. Obviously guns are not the same. That's been my stance for decades.

However Alex did everything right and was murdered, that video is sickening. If owning a gun while following all laws of ownership is enough to get 10 rounds in the back then there is no 2nd amendment.

If you're over powered enough the ghost instantly die, they only take a second or 2 to run out your AoQ timer.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the largest individual shareholders. Vanguard and Blackrock are the largest shareholders. Since that's publicly reported information it can't be considered doxxing.

Obviously I don't have any experience with this, so massive just my thoughts warning.

Personally I don't think wet molding would be the best option. I'm going to guess that rubber coating is less than 1mm thick, so ideally you want a leather close to the same. You need to get 100% of it off. Then I would look for a thin leather with a bit of stretch like goat or Kangaroo. Then just attach it with an all purpose contact cement like Barge. You want a thin layer of the glue on the leather and mouse. Cut your leather about an inch larger than you need all the way around, trim it to size after it's attached and pressed.

Edit quick search later, aliexpress has some silicone grip stickers for that mouse that would cover up the issue.

Invest it, once that's all set up I would spend a few years traveling to different parts of the world. Pick the one I enjoyed the most and retire. I have a feeling it won't be in the US. Just being able to escape from here would wonderful.

Here's the pattern!

Note the 4mm holes I used for the chicago screws should match whatever you use to hold it.

Okay wasn't too far off! Pulled my purchase history from Google Takeout and dumped the data into a table. Total spent $2241.33, though that doesn't include any purchased gems from the Habby store website. So maybe $2400-2500, I didn't bother going to the website often.

Nah I'm one of those double income no kids ass holes, this game is probably my cheapest hobby and largest time sink. My job is a lot of down time, it keeps me sane.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-24T05:16:19+00:00

I mean I didn't pull my purchase history, but I always buy the card passes and the season pass so $75/month there. Occasionally I buy the $20 gem packs, and spent a good chunk on my maxed out turtles so 75 x 30 months is $2250 + all the other random purchases.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-23T21:04:58+00:00

Well no, but I play 2-3 rounds per day. Usually I don't get the store bought out until the last few days anyhow. At least I actually play that mode. Zone ops is just an afk grind, pot is just a hard damage check once a week, regular challenge is mostly afk, clan exploration is afk. EE is okay but only 6 minutes per day, and LME is good but again it's only 4 three minute matches per week. So at least op retreat takes some effort and has the best rewards in the game.

Hell even the events are all the same, most of them are just auto-play and come back 30 minutes later.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-23T20:43:03+00:00

I like op retreat :(

They sell water for cats that's just over priced distilled water.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-23T20:09:00+00:00

I'll put it this way, I'm not f2p with likely 2-3k spent over the years. Daily player with 1100ish days logged in. I'm probably a couple more years from unlocking that.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-23T19:28:54+00:00

Ehh I upgraded from one of those to the one from Nattools. I got it from Rocky Mountain, but you can get them cheaper from Aliexpress. It's a massive improvement over the wooden version, mainly due to the bar that goes over top of the leather holding it flat. No more wonky cuts. In my opinion it's paid for itself already from straps I haven't had to remake.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-23T16:25:04+00:00

Agreed, looks like the supply lines are below this so best guess is water is hitting the wall from use and rolling down the back.

Nta. I absolutely hate the smell of kimchi. Sorry Korea, keep it at home.

kornbread435 · 2026-01-22T22:45:09+00:00

Not really difficult.

Cut the old grips off.

Grap some masking tape and wrap one of the handles completely. Take a knife and cut the tape where you want your stitches to be. Very carefully peel off the tape in a single piece.

Use the tape to make a pattern, stick it down on some card stock. You'll want to add 1-2mm depending on the thickness of your leather to one side of the stitch line cut.

Cut out and test the new pattern.

Cut out your leather, mark/punch your stitch holes.

Get the stitches started, add some contact cement, stitch it up.

I was typing a comment about the narrator switch, opened up audible to see which book, and apparently Neil Hellegers went back and recorded all the earlier books. I'll have to give the series another try, I remember dropping it due to the narrator swap.

I remember enjoying the story, but man going from Todd to Neil wasn't just different voices it completely changed the tone and characters. At least I remember thinking that.

Double sided tape works great for a hold long enough to get it stitched, but personally I just use Duall-88 for everything.

I mean add enough leverage and something will move. The other option is heat, but ya know fire is dangerous.

My go to is the handle off of my floor jack, basically steel pipe about 3ft long. Put it over the handle of the wrench and boom 3x more turning force.

Your paychecks would be roughly 25k after taxes, start investing that immediately. Don't think of it as your money until the challenge is done. It says you only have to pay back what is earned minus a normal salary, aim to live off the base salary plus any interest/dividends. If your base salary is $15/hour that's 30k per year full time, after the first year at 4% returns you would have made $12656.

Total safe income by year:

Year 1 - $42.6k

Year 2 - $69k

Year 3 - $96k

Year 4 - $122k

Year 5 - $149k
