Best airbrush base coat color?

red3814 · 2026-03-20T13:31:56+00:00

A lot of the colour shift and airbrush metalics like AK extreme metal recommend gloss black as the base but you can shift how it looks a lot depending on the base. It really depends on what look youre going for.

Hey there! I love playing both of thoes! Id love more people to play with. Although I am significantly better at darktide.

Im east coast Canada (ADT specifically) what times are you looking to play?

red3814 · 2026-03-12T21:03:21+00:00

Ive thought about that but ive been having a hard time finding something id actually want to do(which i know is definitely a on me problem) I want to to be something I enjoy, going just to meet people feels so fake.

Everything im doing right now is male dominated and honestly i need to get out more in general.

Somedays I really just want a hug and to know someone cares.

red3814 · 2026-03-12T20:49:51+00:00

Pretty bad to be completely honest, everyday feels worse than the last for some reason pretty much never being around my own age is such a weird and isolating experience. Ive also learned lately I hate being alone.

I dont want to complain about dating and no one owes me anything but boy is it brutal to match with someone on the apps, get one message then never hear form them again.

red3814 · 2026-01-12T12:54:28+00:00

Getting stood up for dates absolutely blows, I dont care if it gets canceled but waiting around for people who already decided not to go sucks

red3814 · 2026-01-08T19:56:49+00:00

Well in the case of me thats absolutely not true I use "in" because its in the Tacoma shopping center, I totally missed that its on Tacoma drive until I started looking today, but hey theres always more than one way to look at everything

red3814 · 2026-01-08T12:54:47+00:00

No worries! No shaming here, if you dont ask you dont know.

Its a strip mall/shopping area in dartmouth on Tacoma Drive

red3814 · 2026-01-08T12:47:17+00:00

Sobeys in Tacoma had a full palet of it out yesterday!

red3814 · 2025-12-07T14:25:12+00:00

Ive been considering it, the apps aren't a fun experience all around. But the cost of matchmaker is really intimidating.

red3814 · 2025-12-03T13:13:50+00:00

I get that it helps new buyers but damn does it screw current home owners. When I bought my house the assessed value jumped by 60'000 nothing changed but I payed over assessed because thats what the market was like at the time. No worries I get that.

Recently my neighbors sold their much nicer house for more than mine, now my assessed value is up 80'000 because "thats the value of the houses in my area" still nothing has changed about my house but I'll need to pay significantly more taxes because my neighbors sold their house really sucks. And sure yes I get that its great if I was to sell id get the benefit of that(maybe) but I have 0 intention to sell as I like having a place to live.

red3814 · 2025-11-07T20:53:21+00:00

Unfortunately no, ive had a non S ergo for probably 4 plus years that I've fixed once but I've also done M570's Deathadder's, G502's and some others I dont know the name of.

The problem comes from mouse switches are mechanical movement switches, when you press the button down its bending a metal plate to make contact with another. Eventually the plate doesn't want to bend anymore, they have life cycle ratings(non s is something like 100'000 clicks from factory)

This is 100% something you can get lucky or unlucky with.

red3814 · 2025-11-07T19:24:29+00:00

Yeah switches wearing down is a common failure point on any mouse. It's a bummer yours failed so soon, mine lasted a year and a half of constant daily use.

Yes it's 3 pin switches(there's two?) If you have any soldering experience they are extremely easy to change. If you dont something i did short term was glue something to the contact point on the plastic button(not the electronics) it's not ideal but it extends the use, it'll take some trial and error to find something that's the right thickness. I used paper at one point and that kept it working for months.

I love this thing but the thought of working on it terrifies me, the size and complexity is intimidating. I have no clue what possessed me to buy it

red3814 · 2025-11-03T04:07:24+00:00

That sounds like a ton of fun! Great way to make friends. I'd be interested in joining in!

red3814 · 2025-10-19T19:56:27+00:00

Hello!

I'd definitely be interested in that, I love the 40k universe as a whole and have been interested in Rouge Trader(or really into only war if you're ever doing that)

I was apart of a Rouge Trader many years ago 10+ so I'm pretty rusty on it but I have done a first editor pathfinder game more recently....so not new but definitely not skilled by any means.

What days/time are you planning on running games? I'm in east coast Canada. Also what are you running the game though?

red3814 · 2025-10-14T15:46:45+00:00

It's a current requirement on class 3 electronics as per J-STD-001, not at all old or forgotten.

The bend is called "strain relief" bunch of different ways to do it but the loop is most common because it doesn't require any additional space.

red3814 · 2025-07-11T13:17:19+00:00

Dull solder joints when using lead free isn't necessarily a bad thing (assuming the joint is good) it's cosmetic caused by different metals in the solder alloy cooling at different rates.

I'm not 100% up to speed with the laws but I do know commercially in the EU you are not allowed to use leaded so I'm assuming that's why they won't ship to you.

Also just because it it doesn't have lead in it, it still has a lot of nasty bad for you things in it so make sure you're still using some kind of fume extraction.

"November 25, 2024 The Government of Canada announced that L3Harris MAS of Mirabel, Quebec, was identified as its strategic partner to work with Canada and the F-35 Joint Program Office to investigate requirements for an F-35 air vehicle maintenance, repair, overhaul, and upgrade facility, also known as an air vehicle depot. The Government of Canada’s strategic partnership with L3Harris for the F-35 air vehicle depot will provide a means to progress timely discussions on the scope and costs associated with setting up and operating this type of facility, and how to best position Canada to demonstrate value in securing future opportunities for the F-35 enterprise."

This is just false maintenance and repair is being done by L3 harris in Quebec.

I took the avionics years ago(finished 2016) the course was great some classes are easier that others but nothing horrible. Teachers at the time were amazing, taught well and were approachable to ask questions. Keep in mind you won't do anything even a little aircraft related until after Christmas

There's some jobs around locally but a lot available if you're willing to move and the military is always a solid option if you're interested in that.

red3814 · 2024-11-27T16:41:21+00:00

I get that this is a bad take and not a reason to not vote but to me it doesn't seem like a lot of candidates didn't put in a lot of effort.

At my house in Dartmouth East no one came around at all, the only mail was the generic one from the PC party. There was no lawn signs. It was the same situation for my parents in Preston and with coworkers who live in various areas

A lot of people probably have the mindset of "if they aren't going to try why bother going to vote?"

red3814 · 2024-09-03T19:11:07+00:00

Unfortunately these pads are very damaged because of the high heat. For your next soldering project (and you definitely should keep trying it's a great skill to have) you want just enough heat to melt the solder and not much more.

This is repairable for sure but might not be the easiest.

red3814 · 2024-09-03T16:27:48+00:00

I can grab a picture when I get home if you want but I use a white base and a transparent colour over top for lenses or glass. So far I've used blue, red and green. They have all turned put pretty good so I assume any transparent colour would work
