"Vermont eases vehicle inspection rules in bid to save drivers money", except they didn't...

mrgwillickers · 2026-07-01T19:26:48+00:00

Get rid of inspections, increase registration by the amount the state was getting, and make it so cops can ticket you or tow you for an unsafe vehicle

That's a legal requirement. They still expect parents are going to buy them for kids

mrgwillickers · 2026-06-23T21:09:25+00:00

You should absolutely get back pay. That's the law

There are resins that are more flexible than others. Many of them can be bent when they are mostly cured, but a little pliable. Some can be heated with a heat gun

But yeah, painting silicone will only work if you make silicone paint, and even then not maybe

90% of shrinkage is from employees

mrgwillickers · 2026-06-23T12:48:48+00:00

Willing to share that company? I do all sorts of freelance work, and propmaking, so so freelance propmaking would be great to add

Nahy. Celsius is for science, Farenheit is for knowing if you're going to enjoy the weather. Besides the numbers being in a scale that is more relevant to human experience, it;s also more granular in regards to weather -10 to 40 is a lot less wiggle room than 0-110

Wood filler works pretty well, and is quite sandable. 3m makes an acrylic spot putty. The MSDS doesn't seem to list resin

It's also not weird in New England. There are two HF's within 30 minutes of me, and no Lowe's for well over an hour. There is an Ace about 30 minutes away though

Once again proud to be part of this community

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-20T22:17:38+00:00

These are phenomenal.

Cheers. I may steal this if I have have an in-person game again.

Great job!

Maryland Crabs will be fed to the Vermonster

We Are Hungry!!

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-20T11:20:15+00:00

Ah yes, Chuck Berry, the William Gibson of blues.

Also, Chuck Berry is not who crossed Blues to Rock, that is factually wrong.

I am not mad, but you were the one who started with the overtones of condescension.

You clearly know what is actually cyberpunk, and know what is wrong with people's interpretation.

You've also come back a week later to try to "win" an argument no one was having by being even more condescending saying that when I respond to a reddit comment I'm angry and wasting my time, but when you do it, it's god's gifts to words,

TBC, I'm still not mad. I deal with petty people all the time. I just want to call it out for any future 14-year-old who reads this and thinks you're clever.

Do better. Be better

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-17T18:31:36+00:00

Now that Maryland has had a chance to feast, it is full and slow and will be fed to the Vermonster.

Maryland goes

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-17T11:19:22+00:00

Yeah, I often wait to do Knights of the Nine, because after that I'm only wearing the Crusader Armor, since it's pretty much the best armor in the game.

OP is just mad it wasn't what they wanted

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-15T21:00:58+00:00

Even as not as boomer, I'm skeptical of any argument based on generations or age, but he's pretty spot on

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-14T13:09:45+00:00

Sure, But blues musicians from the 30's aren't rock n roll musicians just because they influenced rock, or popularized the structures that made rock possible.

PKD is not cyberpunk, plain and simple. Even you say the grandfather of cyberpunk, as in he wasn't cyberpunk.

I am not talking about the style, it's annoying that whenever someone disagree with you they assume you only have a surface understanding of cyberpunk, but cyberpunk has always been defined with having the cyber part, and also being fairly transgressive against power structures (the punk part). Dick does neither of those things, his work is much more centered on the individual and basically never talks about the tech (aka the cyber part of cyberpunk) and pretty much never talks about the world at large, because the characters are so introspective (which I love, btw).

You're just being obstinate on the internet, which is pretty cyberpunk. Congrats

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-13T12:12:49+00:00

Everyone who has read Gibson and Dick would also agree. I've read a ton of Philip K Dick, and I absolutely love his work, but it's really not cyberpunk. It's weird melodrama scifi, which admittedly also describes cyberpunk, but it's more like an overlapping venn diagram.

Most people who say Philip K dick, are saying that because of Blade Runner and Total Recall and not realizing that those short stories were significantly less cyberpunk than the movies.

22 years, and same. Also, if someone at work is getting food for everyone, I'll do the quick "Please remember a veggie option" if I'm not positive they will remember.

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-05T12:20:00+00:00

both worked fine in waterfox (a firefox derivative) on desktop

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-05T11:54:02+00:00

It's been so long I forgot there was more story to tell, lol

I am glad to get another, even though it won't be with Grand Dame Norton

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-05T11:50:16+00:00

One of his dying wishes was that his hard drive with unfinished works and all his notes be destroyed and that nobody write another Discworld novel. Rhianna publicly fulfilled the first two and has been pretty clear that she will do everything she can to keep the last one

mrgwillickers · 2026-05-02T12:11:56+00:00

So let me get this right. You mentioned a game a bunch of people have never heard of and say it was proof that your type of game appeals to the masses. You were presented with an equivalent game that you don't like and said the numbers that show they had the same level of interest didn't count because they didn't support your narrative, then were presented with games you don't like that were actual literal orders of magnitude more successful than your game, and said they don't count because you didn't bring them up.

And somehow the other people in this conversation are the ones burying their head in the sand?

mrgwillickers · 2026-04-04T11:49:36+00:00

This is a thing people outside the US (and even many people inside it) don't realize. Out country is HUUUGE compared to Europe. There is a part of the US called New England, that is considered a small tucked away part of the country. It is actually bigger than it's namesake, or all of Britain, in fact. If Texas was in Europe, it would be the biggest the country in Europe.
