What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)
  • Welly tin.

    They're those cute tins filled with themed bandaids you can get at Walmart. Normally they're brightly colored and targeted to small kids. Not only are they pretty good fabric bandaids but the tin is really reliable as a homemade med pack for camping. Small, light, brightly colored, and stupidly durable. Had mine in my bag for about 5 years now and it hadn't even dented.

  • Can you scale down a firearm to make an identical looking firearm that fires a different round?

    Like, could you make a smaller version of a 1911 that fires 22lr instead of .45 by just scaling all the parts to the 22lr?

    What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)
  • You can get butane and arc lighter inserts for zippo shells. I've had the arc lighter for going on 3 years, I've only had to charge it 5 times, it's gone through the wash twice now and it's still working great.

    Bought my best friend the butane one the same time. She's a heavy smoker, not only is it her conversion starter but apparently it's been cheaper than buying bics.

  • Does anyone have a suggestion for ai image cleanup?

    I have some old digital photos that I'd like to bring into modern resolutions, I know ai won't really be the same as doing it by hand but I doubt my grandma will notice. Is there a reliable site or way to use stable diffusion for this?

    Brainstorming an open, newbie friendly and fully equal Clan idea, curious about any input
  • This is basically how we run our clan, everything but the top two tiers are identical and the different titles are just based on how much you donate or help others.

    I can give two major tips. Firstly, don't just promote everyone to max. Keep a shortlist of people you trust not to delete the decor or rooms, and everyone else just gets the dojo and the help.

    Second, recruit around Mars to Saturn. If they got that far in the game, they're a fan and they'll likely be around for the long haul. If you snag them there, the help from experienced players and the access to a stocked dojo will seal them in and you may end up with a few good friends and regular gaming buddies. Before that and you catch a bunch of lookie loos who picked up the free game and will likely not sick to it. After that and you run into more clans like yourself, one tenno teams who may be too invested in their own dojo to abandon it for someone else's.

  • Scummiest video game
  • They're currently in litigation one child labor exploitation for profiting off of child made content and for terrible child safety standards for basically ignoring that it was a pedophile feeding ground. It's not dead though, probably going to be profitable forever.

  • What's a type of location that you really like, and why?
  • I liken it to the feeling of a room you've just reorganized or when the seasonal lighting changes and everything feels familiar but just a little different. These spaces feel like but permanent. It's not uncomfortable, just not common. Spending time in these places helps me think about the way things are arranged.

  • What's a type of location that you really like, and why?
  • I love liminal spaces so much. Not the cg nonsense ones with the weird pools or endless test cell rooms but real ones. Hallways that fell crammed into buildings, like they build the rooms before realizing they need to be accessible. Rooms that have been converted into other rooms but will have the remnants of it's original use, like a stairway turned closet that still has the stairs as woefully inefficient shelves. Bedrooms that still have piping for the kitchen appliances that used to be there. Legal offices turned into studio apartments.

    I love things like this.

  • What's something unique that you carry on you every day?
  • An arch lighter version of a zippo. It fits in traditional zippo cases so I have a collection of shells that I change out to fit the mood. The current one is matte black with a cthulhu theme in brass but normally I use the mercury glass with bones and flowers. My wife calls it my zappo.

    Also the severed finger of an elf.

  • What is your favorite inconsequential fan theory?
  • Not only is it a military ship built for the exact type of situation out was in, but it was a custom build by Vader himself. Being a very skilled mechanic is almost more fundamental to his character then hating sand. He built a race winning podracer out of trash, imagine what he can do with 20 years more practice and the entire imperial budget.

    And yet, an outdated tugboat from before he was born managed to take him down. That ship has soul.

  • What is your favorite inconsequential fan theory?
  • Would your treatise allow this to work if he's not a sith, but instead an incredibly powerful by oblivious force user?

    My take is that the gungans aren't well known to the Jedi so they could have missed him, on top of that, palps would have been on naboo when he was born so whatever he's using to hide his presence may have extended to other force sensitives in the area.

    Quigon doesn't want to get rid of jar jar, even when he's given the chance to but dies before he has time to really look at jar jar.

    Palps is stupidly chummy with jar jar even though everyone hates him. He also trusts the galaxies biggest moron to give the speech his entire plan henges on.

    If his ability to accidentally always come up ahead was actually him being too dumb to realize he's passively using the force, and he wholly believes in palps being the emergency hero, he could have accidentally swayed a few votes.

  • Alcohol from peppers?

    Hey has anyone considered making a wine from peppers like jalapeno and sweet pepper?

    You'd probably need to add extra sugar, but I bet it could be an interesting flavor.

    These are my tomatoes, they sprouted in late April and have not left the sprout stage in nearly 3 months. What do I do?

    You can see a cluster of them to the bottom left and individuals spread around. We have them on raised beds near a maple tree in the yard because we were worried about the Kansas heat drying them faster then we could water. They get watered daily, they're not injured or weird looking, but they just aren't growing at all. What do we do?

    Not pictured here is a Rosemary patch that's doing exactly the same, tiny little two leaf sprouts that refuse to grow further or die off.

    Any suggestions for specific world gen on java?

    Hey gang, I'm trying to find a mod or resource pack that well make the overworld and nether generate the same islands in the void that the end does.

    I've seen sky-lands but I can't get it to work, it says it's too old for 1.21 and too new for 1.20.6. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can do this?

    This might be a weird ask, but does anyone have a tabletop game that can fit in this cool case?

    So we have a few of these things and I honestly fell like they're critically under utilized for what they are. You can see the mini figure display space, the stand and folding wings come out leaving a sizable storage area, and the lid also opens to enough storage for all the parts in each set. The top of the lid is an ordinary 8x8 flat round corner.

    Obviously, these would be great travel cases for Lego D&D Minifigs, with your fig, main equipment, and what not with the back space used for other equipment or cosmetics. That said, I really want to find a game that uses the building aspect of Lego and can be stored in these containers.

    The best I've come up with would be some variation of Goh that uses smooth tiles? Maybe some sort of chess game? Any ideas would be appreciated, I've been wracking my brain on this for weeks.

    How do you get rid of bad neighbors?

    So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by traffic in the busy street we live on, the current two have bit people. I'm not one to care how someone lives, but these folks make the rest of our slum neighborhood look downright utopian.

    I've tried taking to them, they're stupidly hostile. I've put in complaints with the city, noise complaints with the police, they don't do anything about it. Does anyone have advice on dealing with this? I'm tired, at my wits end, and my small town tactics aren't as easy to pull off in a proper city.
