Olympic Mathlete posted:Beefy! I had a friend talk about how they wanted to make some DnD dice sets so was playing around with resin. I asked him if he could make gearknobs and he said he'd give it a go. Ideally I'd love a big DnD dice one but he wanted to give moulding a shot. I supplied him with fuckloads of pro grade glitter and he knocked me up a copy of one of his drift knobs. I just need to trim it to the size I want and epoxy an insert in the butt, maybe give it a polish and then a few coats of clear to keep it sweet. Anyway, custom knobs are cool and good, your ladyfriend is rad. Might be a long shot, but if you want a custom shifter as a d20, you might hit up shima, he has been a TFR regular for years and started making kick rear end dice about a year ago. He just got married yesterday and is a cool dude, he might be able to whip up something custom for you. Here is his esty page. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UnnaturalOne

Imagined posted:Yeah hydrogen is just recharging batteries but worse. Much worse. Fuel cells aren’t as nearly as efficient as current batteries, you need a battery anyway for peak power, you can’t charge at home, and the worst? The leaks from natural gas make it not much better than an ICE car.

Applesnots posted:I like this answer, I remember seeing license plate covers that came with numbers and letter so you could make your own. I had one made pretty cheaply from an online shop that specializes in them (“Relax -I’m not a cop” for my Crown Vic) but it’s literally vinyl cut letters. Now that I have a cutter I can do it myself. It’s at least a metal frame, and it’s lasted several years so far. It was a good value when I didn’t have a vinyl cutter. I kind of have to redo it now - my reversing camera covers up the middle of the “relax” at the top of the frame.

I I think there's a good measure of being of a certain age/when you started paying attention to cars where you just look at those things as completely unredeemable pieces of garbage because they have been since new and for most of your experience. Maybe that's turning around now. But the C2 and C4 were both clearly better to me. Motronic fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Mar 19, 2022 |

bone-stock 944 is also on my short list Lamborghini Countach is 8 year-old me's dream car, it did hang on my wall for several years 1972 C3 is 10 year old me's car The 944 is probably 15 or 16 year old me's car, always just out of reach. Those are cool cars. Maybe someday.
