@firestormdangerdash I think it's a server issue
-
@firestormdangerdash I use firefox and have the same problem. I just upload to imgur or any other image hosting site and post the link.

@firestormdangerdash That's insane. Hopefully it will get better.

My first aid boxes https://i.imgur.com/E7NbRPI.jpg Ammo boxes with appropriate stickers on both sides. I like that they have rubber seals, have a carrying handle and the lid cannot be misplaced.

Bracers are fashionable but it's sad that they clash hard with nerdy T-shirts.

Tying braces is trickier than anticipated. I worked up to a technique that is fine, especially handling the extra piece of string. Had it known that it would be such a hassle I'd take the ones with belts and buckles.

@scribus As a 100 % T-shirt wearer I feel that what you mean. Right now it's the rough side of the leather that feels a little scratchy as well as the stitching.
-
@adiwan Research I should have done earlier say that is normal that they slide and don't fit right away. Either they have to be worn long enough that they mold to the arm shape and create more friction area, or some cloth or else is worn under the bracers, or the bracers are tied/sewn to the worn shirt.
-
I bought myself very cheap and simple black leather bracers (~15€), the type that tie only with a string. I intent to wear them next time the roads are slippery in order to prevent scratches on my arm, as my jacket didn't do anything to prevent that. These bracers slide constantly up and down as it is really difficult to put tension on the string and it is easy to overdo it for a comfortable and tight fit.

AGDQ starts today and the first game is TUNIC. The amount of games is staggering. They have even the Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment on the schedule.

Dudes... An empty high caliber military ammunition box is cheaper than a flimsy tin box of similar size. I cannot comprehend.

Gonna assemble myself a first-aid box. I have the feeling that all the ready-to-go purchasable ones are lacking in material and actually useful bandages. Also the ones with any number of pieces in the title are even more scummy as they count every single safety pin and other useless small piece. I want middle to big band-aids. Furthermore I don't need a hard plastic case or yet another nylon zip bag. For my car I need one of those ready-to-go ones that are mandated but that is a different thing.

I hammered the bell to an acceptable and functional state. It was not much but the slight oval shape and tilt dampened the tone a lot.
Also the bell was painted black and that paint was heavily scratched. So I had to "fix" it by using sandpaper and elbow grease which resulted into transforming a black bell to a brass bell that has still noticeable scratches but became less of an eye sore.about 3 months ago from web -
Sub-freezing temperatures, rain, icy layer on road, bicycle, slick tyres, curve, moderate tempo, falling. I was already somewhat careful and yet it wasn't enough to prevent injuring myself. Nothing major, just some abrasion of the skin on my left arm. The biggest damage was the bell on my bike (made out of brass) as it deformed so that it won't ring anymore or loud enough after trying to bend it back. The bell was sub-par anyway. I liked the tone but it wasn't reliable enough.

OK... The birthday present was a huge success. It was received very well. Too well... To my dismay I got a request to make Unown tiles (from the 3rd Pokemon movie) for their birthday.

I went to the bakery by bike and wondered why my face hurt so much. Genius me didn't consider looking at the thermometer that said -8°C (-17.6°F). To my excuse the weather forecast said it'd be warmer today, however it didn't mean the temperatures in the morning.

It's weird when acronyms have overlapping meaning. For example POS. I read it as Point Of Sales but the Internet abbreviates Piece Of Fluffle Puff that way. When the cashier is an asshole both can be applied.

For a birthday gift for a friend, and a small pokemaniac, I crafted a Mew stone carving (from the first Pokemon movie) out of polymer clay. I used Adobe Illustrator to trace a screenshot and 3D-printed a cookie cutter and stamped it into the polymer clay and added additional stone texture with a ball of aluminium foil. After baking it at 130°C (266°F) for 40 minutes I used the crappiest acrylic paint I own. It did the job but the paint is darkening so much when dry that they turn almost black. With a liberal amount of white and other brighter paint (yellow, orange, red) I got to the end eventually. https://i.imgur.com/D7Nsjy5.jpg

Hmm... The rabbit hole of machinist and woodworking youtubers. I've seen more youtube videos than I want to admit. It's just fascinating to see how things are done and how those people solve problems with great accuracy and f-up by doing something small.

@epiclper I have a similar problem to some websites that have ridiculous password requirements, where I have to create a new password whenever I want to log in as I just forget what the password was.
