  • There’s no glue or epoxy on earth I’m aware of that will hold on metal well enough to handle the force of unscrewing a bolt.

    You might solder nuts to either side, that might hold and be reversible.

    The suggestions of drilling it out also won’t work well, if it’s already spinning in place, it will spin faster.

    I know you don’t want to, but cutting a slot is your best bet. If you do it clean, it’ll just look like a screw. You could replace with a rivet if you really need a non-screw look for the finish




  • You know, fairy tales for children generally involved horror, murder, dismemberment and worse.

    To get the kids to be aware of the actual horrors of the world, which are worse.

    Hearing a story about, or seeing a fictional or even actual video of some of the fucked up shit people do to each other for stupid fucking reasons is still not actually traumatic.

    Experiencing depictions of such shit should absolutely bother you. Should absolutely put you a bit on your toes, in real life, on the daily.

    So you can avoid those situations. So you know shit like that’s possible, and fucked up fuckers have done it and will do it, and they’ll think they’re right the whole time.

    Because when it does actually happen, that’s when it is traumatic, and not just being smart and aware



  • eh, shit i’ve read and seen on a screen, while it may have bothered me at the time, isn’t actual trauma, which does not fucking ask permission.

    And yeah, there’s media that triggers that-but it’s media. I close it. I leave. I can. it’s not actually happening to me, right now.

    I think it’s a decent notion, to annotate. It’s for sure people trying to be good for one another, and that’s laudable.

    But. As I said, the worst of the world does not ask permission, and I think enforcement of content tags or what have you would likely lead directly to even more oppression and censorship in the storm of that which we are currently in.

    I will say ao3’s pretty on point about it, from what i’ve seen-it’s voluntary, and it’s actually voluntary. How you keep that across the ages is anyone’s guess


  • And just for the record, passenger in a warthog was my FAVORITE position in the truck. In Halo 1.

    Sure, it’s less effective, but it’s way more accurate. Actually feels like riding shotgun, where you can’t see everything, and you sure as shit don’t have a stable firing platform. Super fun. In game.

    The number of of times the passenger with the rocket launcher murked our own damn selves was… More than one. lol

    Did you know, you can basically feed the warthog rocket fuel? Unfortunately, the speed boost usually kills the occupants



  • Blood Gulch, obviously

    We tried ghosts, but they’re so much harder to tip it didn’t really work. Though the matches where someone tried a ghost vs warthog were usually pretty good.

    get murked. ghost back out to your old hog, get yeeted, lure the opponent into the trap in the cave, heave a well placed grenade, and steal his hog. Murder the fuck for his troubles
