As a welder, much of my work straddles the line between art and mass production. I’ve made many, many beautiful welds that will never been seen by another person for at least the next 20 years, if ever. Some of the best that come to mind are stainless steel welds on industrial equipment that get buried under paint or insulation. I spent 3 years welding parts for US battleships and Navy cruisers as well as the occasional weird airforce part. Most of those welds will never been seen by living people after leaving my old shop.

Bro the last 2 “books” are so unbearably horny I barely finished them. I couldn’t finish the newest Cinder Spires book he put out for exactly the same reason. Jim was on such a good run doing awesome shit between Changes and Skin Game, but I guess losing his dog and then his marriage really pushed him into a return to horny.

Hasn’t been anything “recent” for me. Check out the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. My favorite depiction of “fae” in a modern setting. Yeah, you still have dew drop fairies and gnomes and shit but you also have giant fuckass murder ogres and insane kelpies and war unicorns.

The second Hellboy movie also did a great job bringing that sort of grimdark feel to the fae lore imo.

Goblins ain’t got shit on Nuckelavee. Or redcap for that matter. Little bastards murder lone travelers and dye their eponymous hats in the blood of their victims.

I always like the analogy of man’s relationship with an ant is how it would be with a fae or elder species and man.

Like if an ant managed to attract the attention of a human and requested it kill a specific ant, the human would respond by simply killing the entire colony as they can’t distinguish one individual ant from another.

That’s what the fae do.

So you’re telling me shooting a space gun at the sun will miss?

Is opacity the same as clarity in this context? Like a wet song being like a cd where as if you switched to radio it’d be more dry? I’m imagining a burst of static as a drop in opacity.

Are you me?

Jerk off every single day. Your prostate will thank you

The second one, but standing on the outside of the sphere. It rotates around the gun.

This was a latex loofah at a Safeway grocery store. Good luck finding something similar. Maybe a sponge from the kitchen aisle?

See counterargument tho I’ve had multiple cashiers try to scan a thing that wasn’t in the system and just throw it in my cart so it DOES happen. Lmao

Nah the rockies were made by continental drift. Kind of. It’s complicated.

Clearly the only way to be sure is to destroy Arizona.

Biden bombs wherever his campaign is located for suspected nuclear IEDs. In 25 years when congress is still investigating he’ll be dead too so the SC ruling that it wasn’t an “official act” will be moot as they can throw the bones in a jail cell for however long they want.

This guy never saw John Wick.

Maybe I’m biased because I’m a welder, but it always made more sense to me that electricity flows from the negative. Like , if the positive moved, wouldn’t you change the element of the wire after a while? It also helps that you can tell the difference if an arc is positive or negative relative to the stinger depending on how the metal reacts, at least to a welder. I know that doesn’t make any sense at all but it does to another welder lol

Goteem

Hell yeah brother.

Only COOL doctors prescribe booze and cigarettes. Like House.
