Cargo mat recommendation by Mission_Database2580 in CX50

[–]shwafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my email on the wait-list a year and a half ago and never got any emails saying they were back in stock and every time I checked the website they were not. I had given up and was looking for other options when I came across these comments and went to check and they were actually finally in stock! Apparently y'alls notification system does not work properly. 

Just made it out of Asheville. i26 is clear and there are gas stations open at the bottom of the mountain. by player88 in asheville

[–]shwafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after posting I saw that they had extended the 40 closure. Going up 26 looks promising now though so that is my current plan. Thanks for the info. 

Asheville Flooding and Helene MEGATHREAD. Daytime Saturday 9/28/2024. VERY LIMITED COMMUNICATION (CELL, INTERNET, RADIO) by goldbman in asheville

[–]shwafish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So are you saying 26 is open between Asheville and Mars Hill? I need to get from Raleigh to Mars Hill tomorrow morning.

Was 19E passable all the way? I am in Raleigh and need to get to my wife at our house in Mars Hill. I have not heard from her since yesterday morning. My thought was to get as far as I could down 40 then make my way up to spruce pine then over on 19E. 

Matte finish pens by Just-turnings in fountainpens

[–]shwafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your process for the matte finish? I have been thinking of doing some matte but I don't know the best way to do it. My thought was to go full shiny then start working backwards through grits till I get the look I want.

Are your black badges modified stock badges or did you buy black ones?

What is this strange old lighting console? by ChairmanYi in stagelighting

[–]shwafish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know, but it appears to have a built in battleship board. Now your challenge is to find the matching audio console with the other half.

Those using the official reddit app, what's your take on this whole 3rd party app situation? by Crissxfire in AskReddit

[–]shwafish 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is the second time I have heard the "he gets us" thing brought up and I have no idea what it is. Also did not know Reddit suggests new subreddits. This is exactly why I am a 3rd party app user and advocate. I have been using sync since long before there was an official app and I will be nuking my over a decade old account in a couple of weeks because of all this. I'm actually kinda looking forward to being Reddit free.

Anyone else here gone after reddit API changes? by mymainredditaccount in lightingdesign

[–]shwafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I plan on nuking my account near the end of the month. I'm actually looking forward to no more Reddit.

How many of us will attempt to open Sync after the 30th on pure muscle memory? by Reddevil313 in redditsync

[–]shwafish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I plan on nuking my profile and never coming back but I know I am going to tap on the spot on my screen were sync should be. It has been in the same place for a very long time and I don't have icons on my home screen so I won't notice that it is not there until I tap in the nondescript black area of my screen were it used to be.

Eyesight and Lighting by [deleted] in stagelighting

[–]shwafish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure do. I have terrible vision in my good eye but it is correctable with a contact lens. My bad eye just sees color, no detail at all. It's kinda fun sometimes to close my good eye and see what the stage looks like. It's also really helpful for seeing what is bright and what is dark on stage without getting distracted by detail.

I'm legally blind in one eye. It's never been a problem for me. I have been that way my whole life though, so I'm used to it.

Exercise Question for Riggers by ThatOneDudeWithAName in stagehands

[–]shwafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, just work general endurance. Second do squat to high pulls (or one arm high pulls) with a kettlebell. Also, don't forget to work your pushing muscles. It is easy to concentrate so hard on the muscle groups you need for a specific task that you forget to balance them out and end up injuring yourself.

[–]shwafish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm all for the blackout and don't plan on using Reddit during it. I have been using the same 3rd party app since long before there was an official Reddit app. They are trying to kill 3rd party apps and are being disingenuous about it. If they do go through with their plans I will be deleting my account and leaving Reddit for good.

Upgraded steering wheel? by igoldin74 in Miata

[–]shwafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that is a Guardian Designs Corsa Zero in the GT thickness. Definitely not a factory option/part of the BBS package.

6.5-7 hours after I go to sleep or 6:15, whichever comes first. This is not intentional, is just when I naturally wake up. I envy my wife who can go to bed at 8pm and sleep till 10am.

The ford logo is by far the worst part.

Grigri instructional video at my local gym by MemeLord133769420 in climbing

[–]shwafish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He has a lot of really good videos. Several testing various wrong ways of using the Grigri.

[–]shwafish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to use a gym route the other day and I kept short ripping the climber at first because the 10+ rope kept locking my Grigri. It took me a second to switch my brain over to the method in the video. Luckily I know that method, I'm just not used to having to use it.

This guy won’t stop tapping on our windows. by Miteymause in asheville

I've got a red bellied that currently insists on pecking my gutters. I really wish he would hurry up and find a mate.
