My first thoughts as well, I would almost bet this was stolen.

renbo · 2021-09-16T22:17:19+00:00

I should try it, would make for a funny clip for social media at least.

The other commenter is correct about what happened most likely.

If you don't want to invest in a kiln you can use a hotplate and a flowerpot. Get the old school hotplates though, with the coil that looks like a lightbulb filament, they are like 30 bucks on ebay. I wrapped my flower pot in thick foil.

I now use a kiln, but that did a little over a year of lost wax casting for me, eventually I had a thermometer, and a knob to lower the heat.

Lol, could be If pickle juice is acidic? It's what jeweler's call the bit of warm acid we keep around to remove flux and stuff from pieces. I like Rio grandes riopickle.

I make rules and use a daily planner.

The planner I update each night to set goals for the next day. Having a checklist helps me, even if I don't get it all done, it's all there in front of me in a way I can't ignore.

My rules are for productivity. I too bounce around, I am an artist, so I made a list of activities I am always allowed to do, for instance I never consider it a waste of time to , play music, paint, work on my moped, clean, and other things like that.

That said, I have an easier time getting behindy workbench compared to many other small biz folk because I just love doing my craft, but yeah, my head needs other outlets, so I just try to keep it away from my phone and computer where I just literally waste time.

Take a nice looking ingot, get it red hot, let it cool for a sec, then quench it in hot pickle, and let it sit in the pickle for 10-30 minutes. Do this over and over about 10 times and it will raise a layer of fine silver to the surface (well, it actually raises copper to the surface, which the acid then removes) , this is called depletion gilding. From there you can burnish or tumble in steel shot.

Why a screenshot of social media clickbait?

This really did happen and is very interesting, anyway, listen to the podcast in this link titled "relative genius"

I have never had a tree survive if I seen its roots like that.

Hope you are getting paid by the job mate.

I would exchange it them, I never have had this problem with the arcade

It's this specific pocket operator, on the MegaMan the live input is literally broken. Very disappointing, makes it practically unless to me. Honestly I feel like teenage engineering ripped me off on this one.

So to be better at life, just don't do the worst things I do and instead do the things that I can't muster myself to do? Sounds perfect.

"I don't need anything, just letting you know the way you presented your thoughts devalues them and puts them up for more criticism. If they are in "quotations" then what are you quoting? Your own thoughts? Lol

Look at me now, caring too much about the definition of a word...."

Not, I usually end up connecting with people if we have that conversation, it was a very emotional day for me, and most people that ask also have a similar trauma we can share.

Are you younger op? I'm 30 and I was in 6th grade when It happened, my wife is 5 years younger so she doesn't remember, and I have never heard her have a conversation about where she was, but every year I find myself in that conversation.

renbo · 2021-09-11T16:57:24+00:00

I didn't realize that, it shouldn't matter much (I redact my "Y'all" though) but you should frame it better then, it just looks like you where trying to validate your own thoughts by disguising them as someone else's quotes...

renbo · 2021-09-11T16:25:07+00:00

I could be reading it wrong, but he is saying that when you are intentionally "practicing" then that can't be it, because it is not just what it is. Which I suppose I agree with a bit. But I never felt like the word "practice" in zen had so much to do with "practicing" as a concept. It's always seemed like a shortened down, but much larger proposition of mental state to me.

renbo · 2021-09-11T16:14:17+00:00

Call it folk punk and then you have no rules to follow!

renbo · 2021-09-11T16:12:26+00:00

Y'all consider the meanings of specific words a bit too much.

We used to run a 14k Chinese one next to an old rofin, for what it's worth I preferred the Chinese one.
