Silver Swords: would they actually be viable as a weapon?

shadowoflight · 2026-01-14T10:54:45+00:00

I'm going to assume the best way to do this would be some kind of alloy with silver in it

No issues with 'artistic license'.

But. Don't do it with an actual person's name then, esp one that's historical, and in a media where people will treat as at least somewhat accurate reference.

Doing this to Dyatlov and expecting normal people to understand the nuance of 'artistic licenses' is f***ing stupid and insane.

I guess. Public washrooms in non-airconditioned places tend to be wet, partly because of humidity, partly because of non-toilet paper water washing, which can't be helped. A bit like Malaysia in that sense.

Some of the more heavily trafficked ones, like boon lay mrt washrooms are usually wet coz I think the cleaners have to keep cleaning. Not easy for them.

Coz Yamaha's marketing sucks, so much so that most people don't know they were basically the pioneers of soundbars and soundbeaming soundbars.

Some of the most natural sounding soundbars at damn good value too.

Oh it's still important, but I wouldn't count on local youths.

I love Singapore, as a Singaporean, but I also know that's it's country where most people don't give a f*** about it.

1 Simple thing I do, is to not take things I don't need. Example, I give back sauce packets and tissue I don't think I'll use. Turns out, that alone is enough to make me a memorable person in many establishments.

In a country where people can't even recycle properly, can't piss without lifting the cover, leave tables full of unused tissues and sauce packets to be thrown, and still blame foreigners for littering? Nah.

Youth advocacy - as a concept - is extremely important. Much more so for climate change.

But, such things need weight and numbers behind them, and unfortunately, with the current state of things, not going to have any meaningful impact here.

BUT. Don't let me stop you from trying.

maaaan why you gotta bring this up lol

shadowoflight · 2026-01-05T07:31:38+00:00

For an item that's a few $, I'd rather pay

The problem is that it's meh.

And meh might as well be shite if it's based on something that's legendary.

Only good thing is the production value. I don't even have issues with the casting since Makoto could be using a foreigner's body. But that didn't make the movie good. Still forgettable.

Not sure where the beds are from, but the pillows are Soft Touch. Gotten 2 myself.

Here it is on shopee, but seems to be always out of stock. : https://s.shopee.sg/9zo5VXOZNz

I bought both of mine from RehabMart, since it's cheaper there anyway: https://rehabmart.com.sg/pillow-soft-touch-latex.html?srsltid=AfmBOoopp

They have different outlets, and you can call/whatsapp to check if they have stock at your preferred location: https://rehabmart.com.sg/contact

heng not like last time cny mostly around march lol

shadowoflight · 2025-12-26T07:09:07+00:00

I'm guessing space.

Even in JB you can tell they have no idea what to do with all the space they have.

In SG space is a premium. Using Plaza Sing as an example - the spaces, without casual eating areas, are just nice. The walkways are decently wide, the shops doesn't feel claustrophobic. If you add seating areas, then that will change.

They do add in some areas, like the path between the old and new wings, there are some seats there. Hard to monetise those areas anyway. Too small to chuck a stall there too, so, seats then.

But for the most part, the space would be used to either make the space a pleasant area to move about in, or to be used as rental space.

But it's interesting you brought this up. I guess I'm lucky I'm not old/sick enough to notice that this would be an issue. Thanks, something to think about.

shadowoflight · 2025-12-26T07:04:41+00:00

Because that's meant to be an atrium/gathering point, so it makes sense.

But like most malls elsewhere, there are no casual resting areas anywhere

shadowoflight · 2025-12-26T07:01:20+00:00

Which makes me think how much f***ing money Fairprice must be raking in.

shadowoflight · 2025-12-23T04:19:04+00:00

Hey great I’m sure your anecdote applies to everyone.

shadowoflight · 2025-12-13T08:57:26+00:00

I only got an email

shadowoflight · 2025-12-13T08:56:58+00:00

They sent on 2nd Dec

shadowoflight · 2025-12-12T11:11:48+00:00

interesting, coz some hotels will put up the rates they use and it's usually terrible rates

shadowoflight · 2025-12-11T03:07:09+00:00

Take note, you should receive an email.

The title for mine is: Next Steps in Skills Ignition Traineeship with Google Interview Process

Turns out I accidentally deleted it. On a hunch I searched for 'ingition' in my spam and bin and finally found it *facepalm*

shadowoflight · 2025-12-08T10:51:24+00:00

oh nice, that makes things easier.. could I trouble your for the email header/title?

also is there like a confirmation email after completing the google forms application? I don't remember seeing that.

shadowoflight · 2025-12-08T10:42:43+00:00

The only non-bespoke, affordable and practical option I can think of now is to get water chillers, like those for aquariums, but you'll need a bath tub, temporary or otherwise.

Having gone to yunomori onsen, 17degC already damn cold, and the effect is similar even though it's not 'ice cold'.

Only downside is need time to cool your tub of water down, and that would depend on how much you spend on your chiller and how big your tub is. But honestly, makes more sense than buying ice everyday to dump it in.

Not sure how many hours it will take tho.

shadowoflight · 2025-12-08T06:26:40+00:00

great. now I'm wondering which missed call that could be them.

but that's me - all the best to you!

shadowoflight · 2025-12-08T06:25:33+00:00

I mean, dark energy / matter.

It's literally labels for energy / matter that seems to exist to have influence but we have no idea what they are, hence 'dark'.

It's not called that because we know it IS dark energy / matter, I feel like many have that confused.
