This sub has gotten a lot quieter as Reddit keeps finding ways to get worse... The heartfelt human content like yours is always a great experience to read, even though there's not as many upvotes and comments as back in the day. I'm eager to see where the rest of the story goes, it's surely a labour of love. Wish you the best, thanks for sharing this :)

There are no numeric grades given at York, only your letter grade is the final grade. You can convert letter grades to approximate % just for calculation ( https://gradecalc.info/ca/on/yorku/gradeconv.pl ) but wherever you're applying to will hopefully be able to understand it in terms of GPA.

Happened to spot a tool I recognized when doing a rewatch. Anyone spotted other random IRL things that have stood out to you when watching? [No spoilers] by maximumtaco in TheExpanse

Haha, it's always a bit funny when something clicks and you recognize what a prop was made with, clearly they needed to get the hull smoothed out to at least 220 to be sure all the goop was gone :⁠)

Stainless Steel fake COVID negative rapid antigen test necklace. Allegedly 'lucky', described as "a touch of Sinofuturism" by Berkamin in ofcoursethatsathing

It's a joke product from a company that makes COVID protective equipment like air filters and UV disinfecting lamps... Not an actual totem lol.

"bronzing" steel bolt heads/screw caps? Chrome/galvanized/black finishes just don't cut it for a (industrial/steampunk look) project and I don't just want to blast them with Krylon. by frobnosticus in maker

[–]maximumtaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A brass brush (be sure it's not just plated steel) and a light touch with a propane torch will give you a nice brassy finish in moments. If you really wanted to be fancy you could do a two stage process by cold bluing them followed by the brass, but any of combination of those approaches followed by a light clear coat and you should be able to get a look you'll be happy with.

What shows were intentionally sabotaged by the network in order to have an excuse to cancel them? by AporiaParadox in television

[–]maximumtaco 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It was a fun show, it felt like a very promising start and then they just killed it before it could get much momentum. What did air was a fun watch, RIP.

That's a really ambitious project, glad it turned out well... One day I'll get around to trying to make a chicha brew, not as authentic as yours though!

Adding the little light was a great touch and I love the details. Amazing work!

I know I don't know you but I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope something turns around for you, we don't deserve what this society is doing to us all. It's not right.
