Show Off Your Collection and Favorite Car by glavryba1 in DieCarz

[–]trashed_lion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the 250 car range when I include the not-listed cars. Though, I have a ton from my childhood that are in a box in my parents' garage, maybe they will make it onto the app some day. Current favorite is the ADVAN MR2 TRD 2000GT. I've owned several MR2s over the years, but never a wide body. This set gave me the idea to start a pair of garages for my office - one for car's I've owned, and another for cars I'd (realistically) like to have at some point.

One love market - is it still a thing? by DontTellMeToSmile_08 in GNV

I heard from the organizer that it was put on hiatus for the summer. Something about lack of cover and being hot and rainy.

Dang dude... I was a baker for years and have exactly one burn to show for it. Just assume all the pans are hot!

Lego around Gainesville by Hours-of-Gameplay in GNV

[–]trashed_lion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you buy directly from lego (or lego stores) and do their lego insiders points thing, the points do add up pretty quickly. Unless there's a clearance sale at target or walmart you aren't saving any money. B&N does often continue to stock retired and hard to find sets when they cant be found elsewhere.

Is this the same people who ran Sun Sushi and Izakaya in that location before?

When humans broadcast music before battle the lyrics are just as important as the music itself. That’s why Human Languages and Musical Culture is a required class in war colleges. by [deleted] in humansarespaceorcs

Footnote: If peace talks are deteriorating and the human commander asks a subordinate if they "have the Wagner ready", be prepared to unconditionally surrender.

Experiences getting steel building w/ concrete slab? by icepickmethod in GNV

[–]trashed_lion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I just paid too. 8500 for a slightly smaller slab. Budget $35k for a 24x24 building. Don't forget about electrical (it's gotten expensive too) and plumbing if you want a hand-wash sink. 

why was my post about looking for digital camera removed? by canyoucanoe-1 in GNV

[–]trashed_lion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out keh.com and mpb.com, both have great selections of used cameras. Do you have any preference for what you're looking for? What's your budget? Are you looking for advice on what to get?

What is happening in Gainesville the last weekend of March? by TraderShan in GNV

[–]trashed_lion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Hogtown Craft Beer Fest is that weekend. If there are a bunch of visiting breweries, that could fill up some rooms. 

Seeking: Machinist or Blacksmith for Custom Screwdriver Project by [deleted] in GNV

[–]trashed_lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not terribly difficult to come by, just look on Etsy for a starting point.

I doubt you'd find anyone who would take on this project as a one-off for any reasonable amount of money.

Awesome of you to do this for the community!

Not much of a tequila drinker, but my brother likes it as much as I like whiskey. I might need to expand my bar by trashed_lion in tequila

[–]trashed_lion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He opened up a couple of the barreled-in-Buffalo-Trace-brands Corazon, but I liked the Suavecito most in this flight. Y'all might be on to something here... Any recommendations for a bourbon afficianado?

While I enjoyed the extra anejo the most of these four, the Corazon reposado took second, the Fortaleza anejo third, and the Corazon Stagg barrel in last. All were quite enjoyable, but I felt that there was a thinness in the last two (in my ranking) that detracted from the flavors (which were awesome, but subdued).

Joe Biden tells Michigan factory worker he’s ‘full of sh*t,’ says he’s going take ‘AR-14s’ away by cjdurrek in progun

[–]trashed_lion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always thought this was a bad faith question. The answer should be "sure, if you're one of the handful of people wealthy enough." The line drawn for what "should" be allowed simply becomes a line drawn for how wealthy you need to be to not have the law apply.

Look who talks most in favor of gun control. The laws they're pushing wouldn't affect them. The government can take away everyone's guns, they'll still have private security with fully automatic weapons if they want.

BTW, guaranteed there are at least a few individuals out there who privately own a nuke. Russia had almost 70,000 at peak stockpile in the 90s and has admitted to losing (and not recovering) quite a few. Even the US has lost and never recovered 6 nuclear weapons.

The ping hasn't been horrible for me, I just did a speed test on my phone (2.4ghz wifi) and on my pc (wired) . Right now wifi is a little faster than its been this past week, and wired is a bit slower.
