Lurking around here. Making music. Dirtbiking. Hiking. Walking to the corner cafe. Fun stuff!

I try to stay away from computers since I get enough of that at work.

Damn, that's clean

As long as it shreds! Dope blue fade on that bad boy

WHAT ARE YOU DOING STEP CAR

If you could get McD's fries but animal style, we'd have a clear winner. Source: username contains the word obesity

Fuck no

Ohana on Broadway is super cheap. Like a few kinds of veggie rolls for $2.35 cheap. In case you need your fix on a budget. That's enough to make it my favorite.

Seems you also sometimes get resurrected 1Y+ necro posts in 'Hot', but otherwise yeah you get a lot more post diversity

Better than having me contribute garbage content and drowning out good content with my garbage. I'll post when I have something worth posting

Everything you've described sounds really delicious. But that 2nd photo looks like a xenomorph abortion.

Edit: wtf is a 3 year old post doing on the hot feed

Something important is missing. Is this a protest against all the bean memes?

As far as newish stuff goes, I've been watching Silo, which is pretty entertaining. Better than I expected from AppleTV.

Also just watched S2 of Raised By Wolves. S2 got off to a really rocky start. Honestly I flat-out hated ep1; feels like they needed a mulligan. But it got me hooked a few episodes in.

Strange New Worlds has pretty entertaining though the pace of the courtroom episode seemed a little off (almost like they thought I was too dumb to get it so they had to eliminate any subtlety), and I watched some TNG in the gap between Picard and SNW.

Only made it a couple episodes into Hello Tomorrow before I couldn't stand it anymore.

I remember liking Severance but I think it's been quite a while. I think there might be a new season soon?

Haute edition was GOLD

The pupparazzi strikes again!

I think something is wrong with your mirror

Good question! And hard to answer concisely. Sometimes I consider myself an artiste, but this time I was a little more lazy in the artistic department.

I found a photo of another guitar whose tiger stripes looked good to me. I did a perspective transform on the photo to get a flat-image view of the stripes. I traced the image with a bezier curve and did quite a bit of tweaking, and I lined up the stripes against an outline shape of my guitar.

In places where a stripe would wrap around the side of the guitar, I had the stripe change angles so that it is orthogonal to the edge of the guitar, so that the stripe would stay perpendicular to the edge. I created some offset curves parallel to the guitar body profile, offset by a distance of the guitar's thickness to give me an idea of how far the stripes need to extend past the outline of the guitar to wrap around properly. I used the mirror of the image for the backside of the guitar.

I used a Cricut cutting machine (and the official Cricut software) to cut out the stripes onto an adhesive sheet. Then I put the adhesive sheet onto another adhesive sheet (something called a "transfer sheet"), to facilitate putting it onto the guitar. And I did the same thing for the back side. I then peeled off the transfer sheet and wrapped the remaining part around the sides with quite a bit of overlap for the front/back.

I originally was going to use the negative as a mask for painting (or maybe just paint the negative from the positive mask), but the original adhesive was such a great color already that I decided to just keep it as is and do a clear coat over that.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Yup! Usually running some local/dev docker containers for work, so I don't slow down the laptop I'm actually using with background stuff. They get hot, and I keep them in places where they get hot, but they haven't died from the heat yet.

I understand trying to get the extra content to get the ball rolling, but I don't care for the practice.

It's too low-effort and all the empty posts discourage anyone from contributing or commenting since it feels like talking to a bot (because that's exactly what it is).

Don't get me wrong, I think there should be porn on lemmy. It's great. I just don't want to get kicked out of the library. Or have a situation where I'm on the train/bus and some toddler is in the seat behind me looking over my shoulder. Edit: yeah probably should block any nsfw in the latter scenario
