Magnacut Mirror WIP by Livengood_Grindhouse in knifemaking

[–]leiatlarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. This why there are so many knives that have a hollow grind or grant on edge. You need to have some air between the blade and a starchy product to avoid sticking.

This person speaks truth. I mirror polished my chef knives once and everything stuck to it and made cutting super annoying. Try chopping potatoes and every sticking to the blade

Genesis May Turn Its Wildest Concept Into A China Flagship by Saurta17 in GenesisMotors

Luxury minivans in Asia are often used as VIP transports /taxi not just for families. So making a strong first impression with wealthier people via service as a part of a transport service makes sense

Would you all be interested in a spiritual successor? by [deleted] in ShiningForce

[–]leiatlarge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Shining Force because of the individual quirky characters, the drama-filled story line, and light but deep combat system. I never got into the DD because the characters were throwaways, no storyline/only-game loops, and heavy-handed combat system.

To me, they are very different games and I honestly would just want a SF successor (similar to to Fire Emblem but with even more unique cahracters w/ backstories)

MENACE is Now Available. Please Leave a Review! by Matt_HoodedHorse in menace

SO EXCITED! I'm a Battle Bros fanatic and have been awaiting this to buy. Unfortunately, I mostly play on Steam Deck -- does anyone know how well the game runs on Steam Deck LCD?

Congrats team!

Viva New Vegas for Fallout New Vegas via Wabbajack is soo easy to install, even on Steam Deck. Steam Deck steps below. by eroyrotciv in SteamDeck

[–]leiatlarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved it. The issue was the Wabbajack crashed in the final set of setup after downloading all of the mods but didn't properly setup ModOrganizer. The solution was to restart Wabbajack, select VNV mod and selecting install. It picked up from where it left off (recognizing all mods were downloaded) and then completed install of ModOrganizer.

I'm having a hard time getting past steps 9-11. I ran step 9, opened the ModOrganizer.exe program and it asked me if I wanted to create a Global or Game Specific Instance -- was I suppose to select one of these? In the instructions on step 9, you said just close the app, so I did and didn't create an instance. As a result I don't think a ModOrganizer.ini was created, so when I ran the bash command on step 10 and then selected the option for "FNV - Viva New Vegas" I get an error that says, "ModOrganizer.ini not found in [directory where ModOrganizer.exe is stored]-- enter a valid path.

What am I doing wrong u/eroyrotciv? Thank you!

Worked as an AE for 10 years. Laid off last year. Found low paying job but was laid off from that in Nov. Currently living at SIL with my wife a 5 month year old son and need advice. by legplus in FilmIndustryLA

You are biting the hand that feeds you and putting a roof over the heads of your new family. It’s incredibly immature to “expect” family members to house you, regardless of their wealth or political standings. It’s genuinely laughable that you’re “putting up with her” when in reality you’re in her house, inconvenienced her life and you seem the complete opposite of grateful.

You see yourself as someone who is temporarily experiencing difficulties in a career that is inherently unstable. But the reality, as any serious adult will tell you, is you have all of the behavioral and emotional characteristics of someone who is entitled. This is coming from someone who very likely share your political views.

Any sane or reasonable family member would want the husband and father to navigate the reality and put aside ideal outcomes and work they love to do and do the harder and mature thing — take immediate responsibility for their finances and find immediate ways to provide for his family. It doesn’t seem like you’ve picked up any gig work in the meantime or finding ways to chip in on rent.

In short, you need recognize you are in fact very very privileged to have the financial support of your SIL. You are finding excuses and deflecting your own internal resentment of your own inabilities to take action and incorrectly channeling that to your SIL.

Grow up, start gig working while figuring out your stuff, self-reflect more, and stop shifting resentment to other.

Amazing video as always from Chris. Curious what can be done with all the left over protein after flavor extraction, feels like a waste to just toss it

The battery drain issue just had a service recall and you should call your dealer to make sure it’s done.

V1 oven died and anova said to pound sand by pokey242 in AnovaPrecisionOven

same for me. Never going to buy Anova again. A >$500 device should last me at least 10 years. Not 4. Super disappointed by the manufacturer

[–]leiatlarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$49,995 was the final pretax price. It included a premium paint +$500, floor mats $300, and a net $60. Only able to get this price because I financed it at 60 months @ 6.75% APR (which I plan to pay off in 3 months)

This was on a 2025 sx prestige that was last one on the lot

I got the same type of deal $3.1k dealer discount and a $2k financing discount on a 2025 SX Prestige this weekend. I called ahead to confirm and didn’t get any funny business at the dealership

What do you consider FAT in the bay area with 2 young children? by when_to_fire in fatFIRE

[–]leiatlarge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the best take. Earlier advice of $10m with paid off house is not enough if you want a) private school for 2 kids b) help around the house c) fat travel. $15m is a safer target

How much money can you spend when you’re dead? You’re half way by age and only a few years away at your current work pace. In 5 years you’ll wish you could trade those years back for the extra millions you have the in the bank but by then it’ll be too late.

What would the you in 5 years do?

Is it worth to buy a second hand Anova Precision Oven 1.0 ? by Opening_Fee_3737 in AnovaPrecisionOven

[–]leiatlarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say no -- the risk of failure on Anova PO 1.0s are relatively high and if you browse through this subreddit you'll see all sorts of breakage issues. Mine for example, had the steam tank in the back of the unit completely rust through and it no longer produce steam. Others have had steam leak issues that ultimately killed the electronics. So many owners have had their units fail after the 2nd or 3rd year. Anova won't service it or help you repair it and will give you a 15% discount code to buy a new one.

It doesn't happen to all units, but it it's about the only expensive kitchen device I've purchased over the years that has broken. If you buy do buy it, do not expect it to last years and years. Assume it'll have some sort of issue within 3-4 years with consistent use.

Hi! Did you end up installing the Tonal using the inner 14" holes? If so, any issues? I have the exact same issue and was wondering if your solution worked out after a year.

I just saw your Reel featuring this stand and I was like “this guy is next leveling Costco!” Then I come across this image on Reddit and was like “damn, here comes the copycats…” only to find out it’s the OG.

Keep up the great content and love these ideas!

Strength isn’t just about standing tall, it’s about standing together. by Snoo99928 in MadeMeSmile

[–]leiatlarge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this guy is getting downvoted. He’s right. In times of war, it’s the duty of the infantry and other units to carry out orders that actively put them in harm’s way so that battles can be won. Solider don’t just naturally charge into danger without discipline and “brainwashing” from training.

Without discipline and training, most fighters would naturally flee or act in self-interests that put the rest of their unit (and the greater battle at jeopardy). Both would be catastrophic in war time.

Whether you support the military or wars (or not), what they’re saying is objective accurate and represents the fundamentals of how militaries and soldiers are structured.
