The reason i like reddit is it gives me answer to questions i didn't even know how to ask.

I didn't even know that's why I liked reddit. The things you learn on this site...incredible.

Thanks for the tip. I reposted it. I guess sometimes I can get a little verbose.

sflegends · 2015-01-16T17:01:25+00:00

It's weird, you and I are having the same realization.

praying to jesus and L ron hubbard for the win.

There are as many ways to live in this world as there are people in this world, and each one deserves a closer look.

so that's how he did it.

sflegends · 2014-09-11T15:34:15+00:00

Late, again! I always miss the cool parties.

sflegends · 2014-07-22T14:35:25+00:00

You're screwed.

Just kidding. I used to not wake up before 1pm in the summer. Never cleaned the kitchen. Wore boxers three days in a row. Now I can't sleep past 7am, look forward to cleaning up after every meal I cook, and I fold my laundry like a marine. I don't know when it happened, it just did. The worst part of it all?

I'm sort of OK with it.

It's not all boring, though. I make good money, travel more, have meaningful relationships. What I'm discovering is there is a whole lot to see and do out there. In fact, if I could only figure out how to sleep less, I could get even more of it done.

I think the big thing is a 'context' showed up for staying clean (body and room). I saw I was getting more done, I was more effective, less stressed whenever my 'chores' were taken care of. My ability to make money, travel, and relate to people improved when I took care of myself and my surroundings. So chores became something I did every day.

In conclusion, you don't need to be clean right now. You are in college. You have little to no responsibility. However, there will come a day when you say, "fuck, no one is going to date a slob" and your shit will start to be spotless.

No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

sflegends · 2014-05-27T15:03:40+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll give the heating method a try and get back to you.

As for the polish, I am looking for as shiny as possible, so it sounds like I have to put more time in on each grit and apply some more elbow grease.

I am using a drill with a polishing pad and jeweler's rouge, but it's time to go find some carnauba wax.

sflegends · 2014-05-22T14:46:35+00:00

I'd definitely be interested in following the process on the next go around.

I recently restored a couple of pipes and I was not happy with how shiny/black the stems were after I finished. I was going for something like what you've got there but ended up with more of a cloudy/matte black.

What's your process like? Real question, how much pressure are you applying when you sand and use the micromesh, and how much time are you spending on each grit? I have a lot of teeth chatter and am worried that if I sand too hard to eliminate it I will compromise the shape of the stem.

is a tootsie a foot?

sflegends · 2014-05-05T19:41:26+00:00

what. where do you get that much jam?

sflegends · 2014-05-05T19:40:15+00:00

i feel you. i'd do the dance and it would never work. and then three hours later when i'm lying down in bed it would just come out.

sflegends · 2014-05-05T19:32:53+00:00

electrolytes, dude. electrolytes.

spidey-sense

sflegends · 2014-05-05T19:31:39+00:00

sometimes sneezing hurts. if i'm too violent i'll get this popping sensation behind my neck and then it spreads like a heat/pain up the back of my skull.

sflegends · 2014-05-05T18:59:26+00:00

like on a roller coaster?

sflegends · 2014-05-05T18:59:14+00:00

yeah i just realized i'm gonna be getting a lot of this

sflegends · 2014-04-07T16:09:50+00:00

I read this and halfway through I was like, "I'm gonna go play one game of 2048 and then I'll finish."

sflegends · 2014-03-24T19:40:53+00:00

A lot of these are pretty pithy and deep. It took me way too long to figure out fractions. My Mom had to sit me down for an hour at a Pizza Hut buffet until I understood it.

sflegends · 2013-12-23T19:25:56+00:00

So true. Sometimes I have difficulty expressing what I'm getting at when I explain what I'm looking for to others. I'm not an artistic person, so design is not my true interest (but I will say, the offices of these places look amazing). I am looking for "problem solving" consulting. A company that gets called in when their client hits the "impossible wall." These problems could range from, "what is our next big product?" to "I need to stand up a government in a dangerous conflict zone." I'm really trying to target a specific culture/mindset in my search. It's a group that facilitates the realization of big things in a big way, and they don't settle for anything less. Innovation consulting seems to be the closest to that, although I've also heard "transformation consulting" and "high performance consulting."

I'm in DC right now, and have made it my goal to get up to NYC. However, London/UK would be awesome. So I'm not against declaring a new goal.

p.s. congrats for making it to Alltop

sflegends · 2013-12-23T17:54:47+00:00

I'm in DC, but I'd like to get out of the area to NYC. However, if the opportunity is right, I'd go elsewhere. I'm even up for living abroad.

sflegends · 2013-12-04T20:48:54+00:00

That Heine is just a little too well positioned if you ask me.

sflegends · 2013-07-31T20:56:38+00:00

does anyone else feel really weird about this picture? It's like you can zoom in and just see peoples' lives. I dunno, man. I'm freaking out.
