  • No problem! They worked great for me for a few years in Alaska, highly recommend them for snow or wet areas. They make insulated ones, but I never had an issue with the uninsulated ones if I doubled up on socks.

    You will, however, get some weird looks if you wear them in an airport outside of the PNW

  • My joints hurt. I'm around 30, and I beat the shit out of my body through my late teens-mid twenties. My joints feel like they're about 20 years older than the rest of me some days. Fun experiences for the most part, but I'm paying for those minor injuries piling up over the years.

  • My wife had a D&C after a miscarriage earlier this year. Luckily, our state isn't as shitty as others, but the surgery was still labeled an abortion, and they made her answer a bunch of questions like it was a choice and not that our baby was dead for a month before the 12 week ultrasound. And the shitheel front desk woman lied to us and said that no one could be back there with her (obviously not in surgery, but I wasn't even able to be back in the waiting area with her pre or post op), because that woman was a religious fruitcake and "didn't agree with the procedure"

    We raised some serious hell after finding that out and took it up through their patient advocate. It went up to the hospitals board and they issued an apology, which meant fuck all, and I think that woman was fired.

    I don't understand why people want to be involved in anyone else's lives. I get it if you personally don't agree with abortions, but that's your choice. You don't get the right to decide what someone else does with their own fucking body. The kicker is that most people don't even realize that a D&C after a miscarriage is the same exact procedure and is classified the same. Excuse the fuck out of me if I don't want my wife to die from sepsis or have to sit around for another 1-2 months with a dead fetus inside of her waiting for it to possibly discharge naturally. That whole experience was awful enough and she wanted it to be over as soon as possible.

    Fuck your religious beliefs. Apply them to yourself, no one else should bend over to appease your stupid sky fairy bullshit.

  • Midnight Meat Train. My wife and I were looking for bad horror movies a while ago, saw that this had Bradley Cooper and thought "ehhh, it can't be *that bad. * Spoiler, it was, but not hilariously bad, just straight up weird bad

  • On the off chance that you're actually open to hearing any kind of criticism, sure:

    1. You made a post on a small forum about an objectively obscure topic, seemingly with the expectation that people would understand an acronym for that obscure topic.
    2. Numerous comments essentially asked "what the fuck does that even mean?"
    3. When faced with an opportunity to introduce more people to this obscure topic with some modicum of grace, you instead made what appeared to be a sarcastic, disparaging comment that people should obviously just know what you're talking about.
    4. When called out for #3, you decided that everyone in this thread clearly hated the obscure topic that none of them had even heard of, rather than realizing that people reacted poorly to your poorly disguised arrogance and pretentious comments.

    Talk some shit. Fuck the Jets, Cowboys are gonna miss the playoffs, Tua for MVP, Jordan Love is better than Aaron Rodgers at this point, Josh Allen is overrated, Mac Jones sucks, Jared Goff is great, Dan Campbell is the man, etc etc

    Made a pair of cherry end tables

    Not sure why I can't upload multiple images, but there's another one just like this. Added some transtint dye to two coats of shellac, then two coats of poly, sprayed on with an HVLP gun. In hindsight, there are a few changes I would make to my design to make them easier to build, but I'm happy overall (and so is my wife)

    Had my first dogfight and successful piracy

    Had my first dogfight a few days ago. I was scouting in a Cutty Black for my friend when he went to sell some illegal cargo on Daymar, and spotted a Hull A heading to the sell point. Naturally, I launched a bunch of missiles and finished him off with lasers.

    My buddy jumped in, sold his cargo, and I started to head back to ArcCorp to do my own thing. After I finished my first jump, he told me someone was attacking him in a Warden (I think), so I turned around. My buddy had already launched a bunch of missiles and was trying to escape. I fired another 8 missiles, charged in guns blazing, and blew the guy up. Turns out it was the same guy coming back for revenge.

    Very fun encounter, and the guy was a good sport about it. Ended up getting a decent chunk of cargo off the Hull A and had a great time. I've been running cargo in my Cutty or a rented Connie, or ROC mining for the last couple weeks, so this was a fun change of pace

    Best random orbital sander that's not Festool?

    I've been using a crappy random orbit sander from Walmart for the past 5 years. It works well enough, but as I've gotten a bit older, had a few more non-woodworking related injuries, etc, the excessive vibration is really starting to get to me. I know Festool is the gold standard in terms of dust control and likely vibration, but are there any other good options that aren't $500-600?

    I'm sitting here after sanding for an hour and a half or so and my hand is still tingling after 20 minutes. Clearly, I need to get a better sander, but I can't justify spending $575 on a Festool sander right now. $50-150 would be more palatable, as long as it is a clear upgrade from my current setup.

    Edit:[Ended up getting this Makita sander ](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-3-Amp-5-in-Corded-Variable-Speed-Random-Orbital-Sander-with-Dust-Bag-BO5041/205671780?g_store=4653&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_009_PORT_POWER-NA-Multi-NA-SMART-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-PortP

    Best gameplay loop for aUEC in 3.19?

    What's the best way to build up aUEC in 3.19? I've played this game a bit, touch and go for a year or so. Is bounty hunting still the way to go? Bunker missions? Mining? Something else?

    I've mainly been doing bounties and bunker missions with some friends to pay for my ship upgrades for the third time, but only spent a couple hours so I'm not too invested in any one path

    Made a walnut picture frame for my wife to put some hand written lyrics from her favorite band

    Couldn't upload multiple images, but used walnut with maple splines. First time using splines, very happy with how it turned out
