My time has come.
I'm what the aerospace industry calls a "surface enhancement engineer." A fancy way of calling me a peener. I mostly work with CNC air blast shot peening machines but the principle is essentially the same as a ball peen hammer.
Basically, hitting metal with hard ball causes little dimples to form on the surface of your work piece. Hit it a shit load of times and you get dimples all over. At the end of the day all those dimples help prevent stress fractures from forming.
Honeywell Aerospace employee here. If you've ever flown with any major airline, there's a very high chance the plane you were on had one of our auxiliary power units, which is basically a smaller turbine engine that starts the main engines and powers the electronics. We also make Christmas trees!
I stomp on my usb foot pedal
Definitely give Wipeout 2048 a try. It's easily the best in the series imo and really feels like a proper evolution of F-Zero GX. It's a shame it was never ported to consoles because it would look amazing on a big screen in HD.
Throckmorton. Saw it in an example problem in my highschool physics textbook and I still think about it
2016 was my first presidential election and I voted for Gary Johnson. Unless 3rd parties become a viable option, never again.
I think I remember that. Wasn't there a table involved?
I live in the Phoenix area and holy shit the amount of injury lawyer billboards are insane. It's like every couple hundred feet along the I-10 is an ad for some accident attorney, more often than not multiple ads for the same guy. I see Rafi's face literally everywhere I go
The Zenfone line is your best bet for a compact phone today. I switched from the LG V60 to the Zenfone 10 when it came out and it's no contest. I loved my V60 but its laughably massive to me now
I like my music shreddy and busy. Although, my top songs wouldn't really reflect that
Neat, I can vote against her a second time
This is the way. Still have my AGS-101 SP stock besides new shell and buttons because, frankly, it doesn't need to be modded. But my GBA has an IPS screen, rechargeable usb-c battery, and hi-fi amp. Slap in a flash cart and it is easily one of the best ways to play any Gameboy game anywhere you want
As an AZ resident, this is amazing news
Even just the launcher is shit compared to steam
They're all over commenting, posting, and such. I'm one of them, though I mostly lurk. There's plenty of developed/developing communities here on lemmy
Love me some Bioshock. I was in the middle of a replay of Bioshock 2 when Armored Core 6 came out and got sucked into that. Will definitely go back and finish it after I beat AC6

Just finished up the RG Hi-Nu Gundam and I have to say this is the best gunpla I've ever made so far. Gonna put some of my thoughts here for anyone interested in this kit.
Highlights: great building experience, looks awesome out of box, and has some very impressive articulation.

Overall, I had a really good time building this kit. I always love seeing the moving parts come together and this one is no exception. The legs in particular have so much cool shit going on in them it's insane. The only part that wasn't so great was building the funnels. Each one has quite a few parts to cut out and there's 6 of them so it gets a bit mundane. They do look really good once they're done though.
Out of box, the Hi-Nu looks amazing. Parts are molded nicely with very few mold lines on the body. A lot of the parts are under-gated where they need to be so you won't see any nub marks on the surface. I just did some panel lining and a matte coat, but you really don't need to put in any extra effort to make it look good. That being said, if you wanted to do a custom build it would be sick on this kit.
So I mentioned how the legs have a lot going on in them... The legs on this kit are, by far, the most articulate limbs I've seen on a gunpla. The knees have 3 points of rotation so you can pretty much fold them in half. Plus, the feet/ankles have another 4 (5?) points of rotation so you can move them all over the place. If you look at the 3rd and 4th pictures in the imgur album you can get a pretty good look at the legs (tbf, I did remove some of the skirting armor to get those kneeling poses). The arms and torso are also very posable in their own right. The torso has a neat gimmick that allows for some deeeep ab crunches.

So if you've been thinking about picking one of these up, do it. This is an incredible gunpla kit.
My first MG
The Sazabi Ver Ka is an absolute beast of a kit. Took me like a month to build it but I had a lot of fun
