October 29, 20195 yr I think you will be speechless and shit yourself when you see the next piece I build.

A lot of lifers with nothing to look forward to, that are young gang members. Gang politics run the subculture. Can make for a very difficult work environment. And I love Lego, but then I always have, and was a huge part of my childhood. Now get to build it with the kids. And yes, gym time is huge. It's a great stress reliever. And keeping in shape for myself and my family is very important. I also play volleyball twice a week as well, so long as I'm not on shift. LEGO for life! One of the most relaxing pass times I’ve found. My 2yo granddaughter is super into them so have a new building partner. mad props on dealing with the shit you do at work. I’d need to heavily disconnect in my off time if I did that.

If I was to build a tall one, I’d probably use galvanized hard pipe as the upright. that or build some crazy steampunk looking one out of random parts. Like gears and connecting rods. My vote is build a tall steampunk. They look awesome.

October 29, 20195 yr A weighted base is important. I am routing steel plates into the wooden base under the hubcap of these as we speak. Had originally planned on an old farm gear for the base, but found the hubcaps.

Funny you mention this. I've wanted to create some art of tbe same essence for my living room. I was going to dedicate one wall to each of the 4 strokes for representation.
October 29, 20195 yr You guys should check out my buddy's work. https://www.sawbladeheaddesigns.com/ Damn amazing and right up this alley. J

One sticking point that has me waffling. You gave me some inspiration to get it moving.

October 31, 20195 yr To be fair on the time, when I scrapped my car I pulled off particular parts of it to use for a project later. Until I moved here I didn't need what I was going to build and it will go in a room I never go in so my motivation was not high. Then we had kids and they trump everything for me.
October 31, 20195 yr 6 hours ago, ///M5 said: I thought you Appletarded yourself a year ago Nope. I have had the same galaxy for a bit more than a year. I broke 2 back to back, and then 3 days after getting the Galaxy 9+ with a protector and a case, someone bumped into my arm and knocked it to the ground in Miami and I swore I would keep it until I paid it off on the monthly plan. The Catholic in me needed some good flagellation as the phone replacement costs were going past cocaine and hooker indulgences and that's just not gonna fly with my budget. It's great so far though. I have a bazillion other android or windows options around though so maybe I'm not a good judge of what's good for Mr Everyday. For the guy who wants their phone for creating media and doing work though.... this is the king of the hill. I'll miss some of the consumer and media options from android but this is so much more efficient.

Kids always should be for most situations. For some they are the motivation to make changes, but unfortunately they are on the sidelines during those changes. J

I use Siri and find it works and it pleasant vs google was a bitch. Camera is frustrating because I am not used to it yet but much more enjoyable to just shoot than anything I've used in a long time. I bet I would like the pixel more for the stills if I wanted to nitpick but this seems to shoot faster and the video is a lot better. Edited October 31, 20195 yr by dem beats

The camera does take a touch of getting used to, but overall not bad. J
October 31, 20195 yr It's somewhat nice being in an apartment on Halloween. No kids came to the door in the last few years, and none this year. It keeps the dog quiet, but I am looking forward to having a house in the future and passing out candy. J

Fucking terrible interface. I find the iPhone clunky
November 2, 20195 yr I tried to mimic my use though which is internet, email,music, text and phone basically
November 2, 20195 yr Samsung Gui is horrendous. Terribly unintuitive. I want to smash my wife's Samsung phone everytime I use it. That said, I love android, just not when it's bastardized. Had a Google Nexus 4 for years, loved it. LG G5 I loved. Both were unadulterated android interface. Now I have a Huawei, I know you can't get it in the USA, but again, they've left the android interface just the way I like it. Just I'm sure with some hidden background spy shit, but whatever, not like I have any national or trade secrets anyway. I picked up an iPhone once. Tried to figure it out for all of 5 seconds, got frustrated and handed it back. Never tried another one since. They work like the mechanics in a British car, ass fucking backwards.
