Homemade muffler

What’s with all these mini motorbikes in south salem?

2024.05.13 04:55 Several-Bears What’s with all these mini motorbikes in south salem?

Late friday night I saw a group of what I’m guessing was teens on mini motorbikes that almost look homemade. Tiny little bike frames with one cylinder engines, no plates, no taillights or rear reflectors, no muffler, and what basically amounts to a flashlight for a headlight.
And now all of a sudden I’m seeing these bikes all over town. They’re all driving on the open road but can’t seem to do more than like 20mph so they’re holding up traffic.
I don’t think i’ve ever seen bikes like these until this weekend and now they’re everywhere. Any guesses what’s up with these?

2024.02.08 03:47 BigFish727 How do I get my smallport to sound better?

Not an ae86 question but there's no people in 4age so fuck it. I bought a car with a smallport in it a couple months back. Previous owner had done a homemade full exhaust from the headers to the tip. Problem Is it sounds like a sloppy fart when beneath 4k rpm, but above that it sounds incredible. The exhaust goes from coby headers into a resonator and then it's 2.5 inch pipe until the muffler at the end (forgot brand) with a 2 inch exhaust exit. How do I modify this setup to sound decent throughout the rpm range instead of sound shit and sound good 50/50 mix. Bigger exit? Different muffler?

Subaru exhaust making a “slapping” sound when throttle is halfway or more (any gear)
in the video you can hear the sound difference between shifts of me giving it lighter throttle vs more heavy throttle
After the installation of tsudo UEL headers on my 2010 Subaru Impreza manual trans, my car makes a “slapping” sound only when the pedal is pushed more than halfway in most gears. It doesn’t make the noise when revving stationary. I thought it was a leak at first but after making a homemade silencer from a pool noodle and tape at the exhaust tip, the slapping noise stopped with the exhaust being quiet. if it was a leak, I would still hear it with a silencer…. I think
I don’t know if it’s the sound of detonation or maybe a vibration noise but the exhaust sounds great otherwise. Maybe my car just needs a resonator??
My exhaust setup is catless tsudo UELs with a secondary cat delete with a flow master hb2 baffleless muffler in replace of the resonator.

2024.01.15 05:58 Mikron_Labo I Met a Girl Who Is Making Some Placebo Action Figures

I Met a Girl Who Is Making Some Placebo Action Figures
Hello Placebo Friends,
Recently, I met a girl who is designing some Brian Molko Paraphenialas. They are, in fact, action figures, and not too shabby either! As those of you who are familiar with my writing know, I got the tendency to be the windbag. Plus, my grammar is somewhat shit, cause I'm French (but a Belgian citizen). For these reason, I will simply cut to the chase and unleash the photos of this girl's homemade toys along with description.
*After this, i will also furnish the story of how i met this curious girl. Most people will not give a damn about our meeting; however, it may intrigue some. I know that many Placebo fans are sentimental like me. So, if this sort of thing interest you, please read on. (It is a very sad story for me.)
And now, the figurines...
In his hand, Brian the Action Figure holds something like a turkey baster or, more likely, a very high-powerful microphone -- the tool perfect for catching his outer-worldly vocals.
The girl, who studyed sculpture at St. Martin's Collage in England, is quite the astute. Obiously, she loves Placebo and took it upon her own to make some cool Molko action figures.
"Nobody makes anything like them," she told me. "I wanted a Brian figure of my own, and thus, I had to prepare them myself!"
https://preview.redd.it/q67j3vat3jcc1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=773e787f1f87447d60a1f5a436da5054e68b8102
Now, this next photo reveals a very kean playset type of deal. It shows three Molkos toys, each abbot 5 inches tall. You may notice that some have missing limbs, but do not worry; I can assure you, they are no amputees. Rather, they have interchangeable arms, some of which have different sleeves. This way, you can truly customize your little Brian figure -- exchanging different clothes, limbs, and outfit -- for the full effect.
Each figure represents Brain at a different point in his career. The smallest one on the far left is "Nancy Boy-era" Brian. See the period correct hairstyle, the androgynous look, the saucy grin, the hibette, the sleeveless shirt, and all of that.
Next up, we have the Brian figure in the middle, which represents Molko circa mid-2000s, when he had shorter hairs and got taller -- a cool rocker who ditched the simple black t-shirts in favor of more stylish wardrobe. As you can see, this one has two different torsos. (The sculptress has yet to decide which variant she prefers. Personally, I think both bodies looks pretty good.)
On the far right, now see the strangest figure of the set, "The Older Brian of Today." This figure is the most enigmatic of the toyline, and just like the real Brian of today, it too is difficult to comprehend.
https://preview.redd.it/1l70ocwf4jcc1.jpg?width=204&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0698db43e7c3cf22ec217d305e5c14fdb958eb2f
I asked the girl why this particular figure is gray like stone.
"He is frozen in carbonite, like Hans Solo, the guy from Stars Wars," she told me. "I did this to reflect how our real-life Brian, now more than ever, is frozen cold, chilled like a dish of cold fish with his fans."
https://preview.redd.it/qo4elrit4jcc1.png?width=527&format=png&auto=webp&s=4655391cc3f0d7f44f4fcc622fc0601c9e304d5e
You may notice the little accessories that the figures got. See the bits and bobs: little microphone; small guitar; jar of smeds (in reference to the slick album of the same name, Meds); packet of cigarette; miniature Placebo lithograph; and miniature facsimile of a vintage boombox. Apparently, there is also some infrared raygun (no doubt a nod to "Infra-red," the song where Brian sings about using such fancy gadgetry).
Here, we got another good-looking toy. My personal favorite, it is Pre-Mustache Molko holding a microphone.
https://preview.redd.it/rfnk78y55jcc1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a1680b92ecc2adbc40908398abeb5781778f120
It offers ZERO points of articulation but is made from rather nice synthetic rubber (or European wax or polymur). Thus, you can bend Bri into some interesting poses. The height and build is sexy-fantastic, like real-life Brian, but on a smaller scale (only about 2 or 5 inch high). In real life, Brian has a decent physique, and although he is not the tallest guy, his thin build is proportioned good, so he looks tall yet, at once, compact. This figure recreates this effect, rendering it in toy format quite well.
Finally, here is the last figure of the line. It is of Brian depicted in his current form: "Molko with the stache and heavier muscles."
https://preview.redd.it/hdray1ve5jcc1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=533c212c12e1cb55b846ce5ed8df513efc9e692f
Looking quite butch, in his hand, Brian marvels at his super-micro phone, blown away by how good it works to capture his beautiful vocals. Or ... perhaps the object which he holds ain't no microphone at all, but rather, a muffler. Indeed, it may be the muffler to Brian's subcompact car, which lays in the midst of repairs. And so, the case might very well be that the Sexy Brian figure must install the muffler himself, so he can transport himsef to the next Placebo gig, somewhere afar off! Brian looks upon the errant auto part with a tense, irate stare. (Please note his bodylangurage and pose which reflects and confirms all which I presume!)
Indeed, this figure has ALL the classy new accents of the Brian of today. He looks a bit mature, wiser, but with a handsome facial thing (the hair-moustache of the gallant swordsman, such as Zorrod, Sir Lancelot, or similar Medieval swardsmith). He also bears a good pair of chests, abs, and all of this, which complete the classy design of the thing. A+, I say!
https://preview.redd.it/2huxbp2i5jcc1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5579b515b9112f9daff82b6124307ac47e43bb2
The likeness of the faces are so damn good. Truly, I think, if Brian ever were to came down from his ivory tower and see this toys, he would be so pleased with himself. Truly, i bet he would pay many Francs just to collect them all and thus secure the whole damn range for his own self!
And that is all for now. This girl also vows to do some figures of Stef and Super-Ex-Drummer Steve. She will try to contact Placebo to see if they will authorize mass production of the dolls. However, don't bank on anything. Surely, Brian, who is very ill-at-ease and intense, will not permit such a thing. He would want the dolls for himself and no one else. Most certain, he would NOT alow mass production of such Placebo figures. This is not just because he is a stick in the mud, but also because he hate commercialism and all of that. Furthermore, he may also be afraid of possible voodoo being carried out on the doll in an attempt to harm or maim him, carried out by angry Placebo fans who delve into the blake arts; and such a thing mustn't be permitted to EVER happen, i say with due emphasis. Brian does not deserve more trouble and should be permitted to reside alone, in peace, in Scotland, without hinderance, as he desires.
This being said, we can reasonably conclude that if Brian were approached with an action figure deal, he would merely stare blankly, angrily, and say nothing, with his sullen vampiric gaze and black hair. I would not want to be on the receiving end of such a look, so I think it is best that Brian be left alone.
I truly hope you enjoyed the toy preview. Now, I will give you the account of my meeting with this special girl (who shall go unnamed). Again, please disregard this segment of the post if you don't want to hear some personal stuff (which is not so much about Placebo, but rather me). However, whilst revealing the personal pains about myself, I also make some reference of Placebo and expel some of Molko's dark sayings throughout. The story, I think, is rather a Reminiscent of something Brian Himself sings about in some of his songs -- a tragic's torture-tale of stormy emotions that ends with the romantic failure and bad-feeling.
"How I Met This Toy-Girl Who Destroyed my Heart & Sole"
It happened not long ago, at a Depeche Mode show somewheres in Europe. At the bar, I ordered a Jupiler (which is like the best beer product from Belgium, my home town). I paid the euros, then sucked the bière. The flavor was quite on point. As I turned, it was there that she caught my eye -- the beautiful girl in her 20s who looked SO MUCH like Saffron from the band Republica (those who know the band will realize the unreal significance of this fact).
Upon her person, she bore a curious blouse -- a black cut-sleeve shirt that stated the words "Slackerbitch" in bold relief, rendered in some type of crayon print across the chests. I knew what the phrase meant because I, like all of you, love Placebo.
We exchanged some glance. And when I gestured toward her shirt, she knew that I knew what it meant. And at that same moment, I knew that she knew that I knew what it meant. Indeed, it was a very special occasion in time.
I said, "On the recording of 'Slackerbitch,' our Brian's level of emotionality is rather bezzerk, is it not?"
"Yes!" she said with a nice smile, showing a completed set of good teeth. "It is intense, but I do adore that song. I felt bad when it was removed from Spotify!"
"Certainly," I agreed. "Although I have all of those B-sides on compact disc, Placebo songs must never be taken down from Spotify or any place else. And truly, in my heart, I know that Brian Himself is responsible for the song's erasure. Now more than ever before, he is an unbelivable person, emotionally distant, and beyond all comprehension. How can we know his movements, thoughts, or mysterious reasoning? Nevertheless, in spite of his outrageous conduct, we must always love and support the man because he is indeed the best!"
We then raised our beers in a sincere toast, fondly saluting the Molko.
"À la santé de Brian!"
The rest of the show went like a fever dream. It was just the two of us, alone, side by side, amid the crowd of people. And when the band played "Enjoy The Silence" (readers who know of this song will realize its profound significance), I desperately wanted to held her hands, as though I were the actor Jean Reno when he plaid the French Specialists in all the film scenes. It was a very touching moment for me.
After the show, she and i went to some nearby cafe to respectfully drink coffee, reflect, smoke cigarettes, and chat some more. She seemed so kind ... with a good personality and was very smert. We spoke of music -- Depechi Mode, Placebo, and, off course, Molko. As she sank the latte, she took out her phone and showed me little images of her exclusive Brian toyline.
"That is fantastique!" I exclaimed.
She then went into the whole rigamarole: how she studied claymation at the college in England; how she made the dolls; the foam injection procedure she utilize; the sculpting process; and so on. Truly, I was mesmerize by her.
Soon the night waned, and it was time to depart for our respective locations. Very nice, I asked her, "Jeune fille, may I call upon you at some time in the not-so-distant fewture? Perhaps we can get togeder on a date somewhere. Rest assured, I will pay all the fines incurred."
At this, she suddenly got quiet.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "Do you have some fiancé?"
"No," she replied.
"Then you have got a girl friend?"
"I don't have either of those," she answered softly. "Chris ... I do like you, but not in that way. I don't want to go on a date."
I was shoked beyond utterance at her vile words. I held my breath (something I do not do on purpose but unconsciously, reflexively, when I receive a hurtful or grave offense). And so, there I sat, not breathing, turning many dark colors due to lack of air. No doubt, she was shocked by the unreal candor that I expressed. Finally, I gasped and violently stood up.
With a very quiet, raw anger inside me, I accidentaly spit some coffee onto my chest, then told her some very hurtful things -- very bad things for which i now feel terrible shame. Fighting the tears, I said:
"Now I see everything; for you truly are the 'slackerbitch,' hence the t-shirt. You are the one to whom Brian speaks in that bitter song. You are the fag-had evil witch-thing of whom Brain angrilly prophesies in the lyrics. You hurt him, and now you have arrived to do bad to me, Chris. You are truly the most earnest slack-bitch I have ever encountered in all of my life! Furthermore, never I have been treated so damn terrible or betrayed like this! And if Brian met you in real life, he would hate you! He would desire to be my friend, not yours! And do you know what? I don't EVEN want to date you! You are a dumb stupide! And you ugly!"
I roughly flung my Placebo brochures across the bureau. Some of the papers struck her arm (she may have been injure by this, but i hope non). With some tears, I fled the cafe and stormed off into the night. (I am thin as death and in terrible cardio, so I do not know how I ran so far and fast -- at least 3 kilometers in the pitch dark, through a strange urban city maze I had not been theretofore.)
I raced, blindly running and jumping, panting, moving wildly through the streets. Reaching a dead end, I climbed the fire escape and took to new heights -- the rooftops of a block of low flats. I continued with such abandon, springing from one building to the next.
I leapt across the adjacent roof and landed on the last house in the row. At that very moment, a woman across on a balcony started at my presents, as though I were a cat-burgular. I said, "No! No, no!" and went, hands out-stretch, to prove I am no bad guy; but as I did, my shoe kicked the can, and this can struck a chain, which started a pulley, causing quite a commotion. And when the chain reached the end of it's travel, the reverberation caused a potted plant to fell, which in turn fell upon somesing else, which, inexorably, catapulted a small projectile, flying it airborne, into my very path. This missile shot directly into my partie privée.
Struk in my pants, the blunt impact was quite hurtful, and the pain unresolvable. In response, I cried at the heavens as loud as possible ... then i collapse from the edge of the roof.
The fall from the single storey went as if in slow motion.
As i dropped, head over heel, flying downward into the alley below, i felt total peace and relaxation -- truly the quantum of solace. And then the slam followed, when me body hit the cement floor. Although quite grotesque and jarring, the pain was brief. Then there was nothing; for my consciousness had fled for several moments.
There I lay, in the gutter, in the trash, with some blood-spit from my lip. My posture and full exposure was exactly like the special man on the cover of Dog Man Star, the excellent album by the band Suede. (For those who do not understand, please study this reference.)
For untold moments, I did not move. I did not speake. I merely prayed for death. In answer, the rain, she began to gently fall. Little cold drops fell against my tears, and I could not help but show a little smile.
In the pure morning, I wearily arose from the alley, truly a defeated guy. Having recovered all my clothes, I got dressed and caught the cab back to my miserable apartment (a studio flat for which i can no afford rent). There I looked in vain for my beloved cat, Éponine, the ex-stray, my only companion. I then grimly remembered that some weeks earlier she had bited my hand and fled. For she did not like the steady diet of milk and sardine, so she went away, just like the other girls, and left me in the prison of my solitude. And so, my naughty cat was gone forever, just like the toys girl whom I had wanted after.
I retired upon the iron duvet, drank poor brandy, and chainsmoked something. All the while, a Plachabo vinyl turned, and as I heard "English Summer Rain," some massive consolation was provided. The lyrics of the song are very profund, are they not?
"Hold your breaths and count to 10. Then fall apart and start again."
Indeed, I had to restart like the nintendo computer and start again, just as Brian prescribes -- Brian, the brilliant apothecary, who offers a placebo: his unique music, the stunning elixir. Ironically, the effects of listening to Placebo are anything but a "placebo effect." Truly, I believe the music offers true-real healing sustenance, like medicine, similar to absinthe, or some such concoction of the poets.
Brian offers his Placebo, his travail d'amour -- \"A Gift Most Precious.\"
In closing, I say this to all female: i am truly sorry for saying those misogynist's things to the girl.... It just was not right. It is no excuse, but I am merely a frustrated, lonesome guy on the edge of his time. Truly I am like the person from "Special Needs," and the pain is big. I am now too old to be dating with a girls in her early 20s; for I am becoming more advanced, like Brian, and I am nearly double that girl's age. Instead I must focus on making things right --focus on making everyting okay again.
For amends, I wear mostly black and grey, as usual. (The somber outfits typically include something like the long black wool-blend coat, ironed dark gray collared shirt, black fashion jean, and leather boots.) The pendant around my neck appears pious and of possible religious significance. I chalk my hands, then firmly clasp them together, helding them as if in prayer. I next light the oriental medicinal incense, whose smokes arises from my shoulders, in thick cluds.
During this solemn procedure, I play music. Something favorite like "Unknown Pleasures;" Ministry (the first album only); or, of course, Placebo. It is a very grave and serious process, which I believe shows my sincerity. Perhaps one day I will be able to live as a normal human and find companionship amongst others. But truthfully, i am not deserving of such companionship, for I have behaved as does the animal ... or perhaps, Le monstre.
You be my judge.
le cœur lourd,
-Chris

2023.10.24 16:37 New_Jellyfish_1750 ive come to the conclusion that the rules of casting dont matter..

.I am a glass artist that decided to get into casting metal to make silver and glass items. I built a homemade vac casting table and already had most of the other stuff on hand to get started since many of the tools are the same between glass and metal melting. Got some flasks for free from a muffler shop and got started with some brass castings of a ring design I made. 3d printed with siraya true blue castable resin and the results were actually really good. Once I posted these rings to my instagram and said they would be available in sterling..I got a few orders. I started to cast the rings in sterling silver but started to run into problems with the mold breaking up in thin areas of the ring design, like some fins around the top. I added boric acid to the investment (prestige optima) and still had a little breakaway of the fine parts.
so last night i have another flask sitting that I prepped with boric and its been sitting for a while..dried out. I know you're supposed to moisten them before burnout..I didnt. I put it into the kiln at 700..for an hour..jacked it up to 1350 for a couple hours..used old metal assuming it would come out like crap since i rushed the burnout and did it with a dry flask..and i was already having problems when doing things correctly. Well..the pieces came out awesome. I am now convinced to just do the fast and dirty method from now on..im sure having 3% boric in the mix helped it withstand the pressures from heating rapidly..but im amazed that I was able to pull this off , and with thick signet rings..solid 30g of silver in each ring.
doing another pour shortly with 2 more small flasks I burnt out for only 3 hours...if this works then I have been wasting so much time and electricity..lol

here are the rings in brass

2014 Honda Ruckus 1408 miles Briggs and Stratton muffler Homemade intake with pod filter (heater hose elbow) 38 slow jet/80 main jet
Looking for some input on my tuning. The spark plug seems like maybe I am running a little lean? Tried an 80 main and an 82 main with not much change. Right now seems like my take off powespeed is great but after about 15 mph its a slow rise to 39/40 where it will hit limiter at 7800ish rpm flat ground and 8250 going downhill. I did reset ecu after swapping jets. I dont have a 78 main to try but my understanding is if I am lean then I would need a larger main jet correct?
I would like to get the carb dialed and then I am going to mess with the belt and add some sliders to the stock variator.

Ideal exhaust tone for a 4-cyl cafe build
I’ve got a 4 cylinder 1980 Kawasaki KZ650 that I’ve redone. I want to get the tone of the exhaust right but I’m also a cheapskate and there’s no way I’m buying a full aftermarket exhaust.
Right now I’ve got a pair of those cheap shorty mufflers on. The bike is loud enough that it hurts my ears after about 30 minutes of ripping around so I’m looking to quiet it down a little.
My question is this: what is considered an “ideal” sound for a old 4 cylinder bike? Any YouTube links or anything I can use as a reference? I’m just looking to tweak my current exhaust with db killers or other homemade baffles and packing strategies to make it about 5 dB quieter and also make sure it sounds great.

Homemade Muffler Rail for Piano Problems
Good afternoon people, piano noob here:
I have a 64 key Piamino piano made in Sweden. I added a piece of wood in order to be able to add felt or a similar material to give the piano a different sound (and to be able to play at night). I have tried with different kinds of fabric, from a felt-like material I bought on AE to towels.
Now this is my problem: There are some keys that when I press them, the hammer instead of going back, it gets stuck (or it stays pressed against the fabric and the string) and note doesn't ring properly. This doesn't happen when the wooden rail is not installed. I have tried with different fabrics, however I do not know why this happens. Does it have to do with the wooden rail? Is it the fabric? Is it the distance between the fabric and the string? Does it have to do with the action of the piano?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

2023.07.24 22:45 PowerWagon106 Tell me I'm crazy OR put my mind at ease

So the past 3 months, I have noticed that I am getting a TON of flutter, where I wasn't before. Mod list below.
3rd gear on, been noticing that when I am spooling it will flutter under 3k RPM. Letting off the throttle, it will flutter which I think is semi-normal BUT my BOV isn't releasing all the way unless I let off the throttle all the way.
Again, I have had this configuration for a while and never had the low end flutter until recently. Couple months ago, I cleaned the BOV and checked all seals... Functioned great with a hand vacuum tool.
No leaks that I can find with my cheap-ass homemade tool...
I have searched and searched but all I can find is no resolution as the threads just stop OR people say "It COULD be normal, but not sure."
So is flutter good in this case?

2023.07.24 15:55 ForTheLolz0115 Changes I would make to one addon for each killer

Just as the title says. These will either be added in addition to the original addon's power, simply be buffs or change the addon entirely. All also try to make them balanced, but no promises.
Trapper - Tar Bottle Survivors can only see a trap when within 16 meters of it. I think this would really help out trapper on maps that don't blend in well or have no grass to put his traps in.
Wraith - All Seeing - Blood The range of the aura reading should be increased to 10 meters. This addon has had a pretty bumpy ride when it's come to it's history, but I think how it was in 1.8.3 is the most comfortable spot for it.
Hillbilly - Mother's Helpers & Black Grease Increase the duration to 60 seconds. I know I said I would do only one addon, but these two are basically the same and so bad that they definitely need their duration increased.
Nurse - Spasmodic Breath More of a QoL change, but you know that thing that surrounds your screen when your blink is charging? Well this addon should remove that due to the fact it makes your blink take so long to recharge, that the effect on your screen kind of just becomes annoying.
Huntress - Weighted Head Increase the duration to 15 or 20 seconds. This addon kind of just in a weird spot where I wouldn't say it's bad, but wouldn't say it's good. Maybe increasing the duration might make it more viable.
Myers - Glass Fragment Increase the aura reading duration to 10 seconds. Considering this addons current duration of 3 seconds and the fact it can only be accessed in Tier 1, I feel like 10 seconds is pretty fair.
Hag - Grandma's Heart The range should be increased to 24 meters. Going to be honest, I just don't think 16 meters of a terror radius is enough, especially for a purple addon.
Doctor - The Tape Addons Legit just combine these two addons. It really feels like these addons are meant to be used together, which just shouldn't be the case. What new green addon would replace one of these though? Idk.
Bubba - Homemade Muffler Instead of 1 second decreased tantrum duration, make it 1.5. Sometimes a change should just be simple, but in this case I could hardly think of anything and thus I came up with this little buff.
Freddy - Black Box When a survivor that's in the dream world enters an exit gate area for the first time, it becomes blocked for 15 seconds. I think the addons current effect of recently-opened exit gates is already pretty niche, so I think this would be a reasonable buff.
Pig - Amanda's Letter Your dash is now silent. This buff would go along so nice with how the addon currently works and seeing auras within 16 meters of being crouched just doesn't feel like enough of an upside for losing 2 of your traps, at least in my opinion.
Clown - Cigar Box Instead of survivors gaining the ability to see all other survivor and killer auras within 16 meters while invigorated, the survivor should suffer from blindness status effect while invigorated. I won't lie, this addons current effect is interesting, but I don't see why something like a purple should give such a big upside to survivors on the already default speed boost the afterpiece tonic has.
Spirit - Mother-Daughter Ring When Yamaoka's Haunting ends, The Spirit's husk explodes and any downed pallets within 4 meters are automatically destroyed within 5 seconds. I think this would be a pretty good rework for the addon and would combo perfectly with her other iridescent.
Legion - Stolen Sketchbook Survivors hit during Feral Frenzy drop their item and cause it to lose 1 charge, with each hit onward causing the next item to lose another charge, meaning the 4th Feral Frenzy hit will cause any item the survivor is holding to lose 4 charges. Overall, I think this would be a pretty good change to the addon.
Plague - Incensed Ointment In addition to what it does now, the survivors who scream have their aura revealed for 2 seconds. I think this would be a good buff tbh. Not too OP and would be more nice than anything.
Ghostface - Chewed Pen & Lasting Perfume Another case of two addons that should be combined into one.
Demogorgon - Eleven's Soda The effect should linger for 15 seconds when exiting the portal. This idea was kind of made on fluke, mainly because we likely will never see any of Demo's addons changed due to the license being gone.
Oni - Iridescent Family Crest Make it so that successful hits with Demon Dash also cause survivors to scream.
Deathslinger - Hellshire Iron Make it so the undetectable lasts for 30 seconds instead of 15. Most of slingers addons are pretty bad, so any buff to them I think most people can agree with.
Pyramid Head - Iridescent Seal of Metatron Make it so the auras of any survivor is revealed when sending a survivor to a Cage of Atonement. Not gonna lie, it was pretty hard only choosing one of his addons.
Blight - Soul Chemical The difficult skill checks caused by rushing now also will appear to any survivors doing totems and chests, with failed skill checks for totems and chests interrupting the survivor and cause a loud noise notification. All I'm gonna say is that I really like impossible skill check blight with huntress lullaby.
Twins - Baby Teeth Duration of the blindness should be increased to 60 seconds. There are so many addons that cause survivors to suffer from blindness for 60 seconds, so why is this one 30 seconds?
Trickster - Death Throes Compilation In addition to what it does now, your activation window for Main Event is increased by 30 seconds, making it to a total of 60 seconds. I'd say this buff would feel pretty good as it would give you a lot more time to actually get a chance to use main event in a good spot.
Nemesis - Licker Tongue Increase the duration of hindered to 2 seconds. A simple buff for a laughably addon.
Pinhead - Torture Pillar Make it decrease the time it takes for the chain hunt to activate by 10 seconds instead of 6 seconds. Going to be honest, I'm running out of ideas for certain characters.
Artist - Charcoal Stick Survivors can't see the dire crows being summoned for the 0.5 seconds if they are within 24 meters of the Artist. Something not a lot people might realize is that since your crows can be seen being summoned from any distance, this means they can see which direction the crow is being summoned. This basically can mess up any element of surprise you have in chase.
Onryō - Nothing Trust me, I'd choose an addon, but I legit can't with my only thought about Sadako currently being how BHVR is about to straight up massacre her in the next update.
Dredge - Fallen Shingle Increase it from 15% per second to 25% a second. Again, running out of ideas.
Wesker - Lion Medallion Increase the throw distance from 30% to 50%. The reason to buff this addon? I like throwing survivors with Wesker and seeing them splat against a wall is pretty funny.
Knight - Flint and Steel Make it so the auras of survivors are revealed for 5 seconds when within 16 meters of any pallet. Why BHVR didn't just reduce the range of the aura reading instead of making the horrible change that it only works on dropped pallets has always bothered me tbh.
Dull Merchant - Iridescent Unpublished Manuscript Increase the duration the drone has terror radius to 25 seconds. The duration to be honest just feels too low to be good, especially considering this is one of her more fun addons.
Singularity - Kid's Baseball Glove Revert the duration back to 25%. Let's get real, BHVR didn't nerf this addon cause it was good, they likely did it because it was popular.

Picks Of The Week (by u/lefuniname)

1. Various Artists - Matter:2 💎 [In The Lab Recordings]

Recommended if you like: [BORDERS], sastruga, Trinist
Hot off their several stage takeovers at Rampage Open Air last week, In The Lab are coming in hot with yet another impressive compilation of ridiculously good tunes, with an extra focus on the experimental side of all things techy. That's right, we're talking about their newest Matter:2 LP!
Wait, you don't know them? Well, you better remember and/or read up on what I had to say about them when I talked about the first Matter compilation, as I'm absolutely not gonna repeat myself here. Today, we're focussing solely on the matter at hand. Absolutely intended that one. As always, I'm gonna give 3 of the 11 supremely underrated Hidden Gem™️'s a proper spotlight, and recap the rest of it at the end. Let's go!
Pick 1: Azumai - Abyss
For quite some time now, the ITL label roster has been becoming more and more international, and no one symbolises that development more than sometimes London-, sometimes Tokyo-based Japanese-Russian artist Azumai! Nowadays you might know him from his recent EP on RAM offshoot ProgRAM, but if you just azzumed that the story of Yuki Azumai doesn't go back further than that, you are sorely mistaken. Back then still operating under the TŁOC moniker, I have found traces of Yuki's musical activity all the way back in 2014, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear it goes back even further! You see, Azumai is a proper staple of the Japanese scene. Collaborations with japanese Dancefloor legends Yellock and Maozon (shout-out to his wonderful twitch streams), working together with regular Audio collaborator and one of the actual pioneers of the Japanese scene, DJ AKi (shout-out to his wonderful twitch streams), on his very own O6S Records, supporting the Teddy Killerz on their tour through the country - you (azu)may even say, he's quite big in Japan.
After a while of pursuing DnB with his aforementioned old alias, Yuki decided to take the Azumai branding he used for DJing all sorts of electronic genres over the years and refocus it to all things drum and bass. Release-wise, at least. The precise production and hard-hittingness of his bootlegs of Buunshin, Alex Parker and Eliminate, his remix for Japan's answer to Pendulum, The Game Shop, and his monumental introduction to the EU scene, Hello with Maozon and Mountain, already showed the world that Azumai is a name to keep an eye out for, but things really seem to have picked up speed these last few months. Not just because of his insane EP on ProgRAM, his Hackney Parrot bootleg was also played by Delta Heavy at Rampage just last week and, most importantly of course, he is now joining the other super talented scientists in the lab, with Abyss!
So what did he bring to the research facility? Probably his most experimental work yet! Dreamlike, ethereal, shape-shifting synths majestically floating through auditory space like one of the more alien-like deep sea jellyfishes, softly diswobbled and heavily side-chained melodies and clappy snares all come together to form an otherworldly symphony of strangeness that I just can't stop listening to. Absolute azumayhem.
Pick 2: Blueboss - Juice
I know ITL have a talent for finding underrated artists in the vast sea of SoundCloud uploads, it's one of the many reasons why they deserve all the love they've been getting. But this particular signing still surprised me with how insanely good yet absolutely under the radar they have been. Straight outta Poland, Blueboss, consisting of Andrzej Dybiec and Jacek Fuchs, have only been putting out music together since earlier this year, after having met at a bar in Warsaw, yet every single thing, every single free download has been an absolute smasher so far. How? Well, it turns out there's a tiny bit more history to both of their musical journeys.
Andrzej, for starters, has been an expert for sound design and just generally music production for ages. First as Johnny Muse, later as Andrzej Dybiec, sometimes as Bez Struktury or The Structure, and lately even as 2JA with a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, Andrzej has been producing House, EDM, DnB, everything really. He not only had several successful commercial endeavours, including but not limited to producing tracks for Natalia Kills, a whole album for the band Mor W.A., and even some literal commercial work, as in advertising, that has been shown nationwide, he also regularly shares the knowledge he gathered over the years by uploading all sorts of helpful tutorials, tips and tricks about production to his YouTube channel. Damn!
And Jacek? Well, while his work in the Ambient scene, as Solomnium goes back to at least 2014, his adventures in the world of the drums and the basses, with him tearing up some dancefloor and creating some bangers of his own under the Medlock Raver alias, seem to be m a newer development. And that's just the stuff I found! If I had more time to break through more of the language barrier, I'd probably unearth even more stuff. It may be unrelated to this particular matter, but Jacek is also very involved in the TV and movie business! Not only has he appeared on all sorts of TV shows, amassing 20 IMDB acting credits, he has also written and directed a couple of movies himself!
As you can probably tell by now, these two are already extremely artistic and talented people on their own - who knows what thunderstorm of creativity will be caused by them working together! Well, let's find out. On Juice, the Blues Bosses kick things off by turning the wonkiness setting on their musical blender up to 11, with bouncy two-step drums laying the foundation for the attack of the huge and clean, yet simultaneously also quite rough bundles of aggression to really hit. Soon enough, however, the duo turns the wonky fader down to zero and switches it up into a whirlwind of niceness, full of euphoric synths and rolling drums, once again showing us who's (blue)boss.
Pick 3: Coben - Ego
Now for a hidden gem I've actually been meaning to talk about for a while already: Benjamin Counsell, aka Coben! Closer to the laboratory home base than the others I've mentioned so far, this lovely chap is hailing from the Scottish capital Edinburgh. While he might be younger than our previous two subjects at only 22, his long-time involvement in all things music and his overall rather impressive work rate means he has already amassed quite the amount of experience. As a guitarist of Edinburgh-based rock band Sintide, he has been enjoying the stage life since at least 2019, which is also when the electronic side of his musical output, Coben, started showings its fruits. With bootlegs of Andrew Huang, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X, he showed off his Dubstep, House and Electronic skills, but the longer he kept the streak of bootlegs going, the more into DnB he seemed to get, with the likes of PhaseOne, Owl City, Daft Punk, Skrillex and many more getting the fast-paced techy treatment.
Amidst these oodles of style-oozing bootlegs, Benjamin also slowly l started putting out label releases, with his debut Eidyn EP having arrived on Billegal Beats just last year and, of course, there was the formidable Sky God on that one science related label. One thing that really stood out from the sea of releases, however, was his sophomore EP, Culprit, on Low Down Deep sister label Underground Soundz. So much so, that I actually wanted to feature it on here, but I ran out of writing time that particular week. Wanna hear a fun fact? You know who's also a fan of the man they call Coben? Fox Stevenson! Just this past week, Mr. Foxenson actually played a brand new Coben banger to the ravagous crowd at Rampage Open Air!
You know who's also also a fan of him? I am! You know what's a synonym for "I"? Ego! And that's the track we're talking about here! My flawless transition aside, I have to be serious for a second and acknowledge what an absolute Cobanger this one is. Not only is the foundation of it all already wonderful, from the lovely titular vocal sample to the new-school colour bass inspired sound design, the way it's used is also absolutely spot-on, with the colourful stabs causing some proper havoc with their ridiculously relentless ratatatat rhythms, before it all rolls out with an extra vibey section. I hope Coben E-stays in the scene for a long time.
Conclusion And that's not even close to all of it! We've got Spaniard Jey Vinand showing us the way of the fonk on Bansuri, the one and only Elder delivering another lovely summer vibe with Convalesce, multi-genre enjoyer of finales LoveTheEND catching a Crimson Butterfly just for us, schnitzel enthusiasts Acris & Eevian unleashing a rather Ethereal synth firework, Osyrus firing off with so much power that no one will be Left In The Dark about his technical abilities afterwards, Phadix proving that there's more to Life than techy madness, before Niallo swiftly proves him wrong with some Scientifically Unsound bleepage, and K A G E pumps us so full of lo-fi vibes that we can't help but SURRENDER.
This compilation once and for all cements In The Lab as one of the very best of their kind. In the grand world of labels they not only matter(:2), with how often they putting established imprints to shame they should be considered one of the top players.

Wanted to make it a bit different as several people here have lol
https://flic.kps/42tsgs I wouldn't let me upload the other videos or pictures with this one so threw them on Flickr but wheels went from 185/55/15 to 205/55/16 (modifications needed on front to fit without rub) Straight pipe 1/2 cat delete, custom CAI (couldn't find a plug and play so the airbox housing was removed partially used and modified for IAT sensor to still be there) has since been painted black, all lights tinted. Luckily have a buddy that's great at custom stuff to work with what I had available since non homemade stuff I've had zero luck finding. Anyone have anything commercially available modification wise (power and cosmetic) that you've been able to find? Eventually will be adding a Super10 muffler to exhaust but not dead set on it if anyone has better suggestions.

2023.06.09 10:09 Neocon69 Light weight wrangler

Anyone got tips for lightening a wrangler over landing setup?
Ive been at it a while and starting to look at some expensive options so keen to see if anyone has helpful tips.
Hardtop to softop is obvious but i have rhino platform rack on the hardtop which i need sometimes so keeping it in here. Also need all five seats so cant remove the rears.
I have removed the following: - rear wiper from hardtop - lining under hood - all plastic covers i can find (seats, hinges etc) - plastic engine cover and mounts - rear fog lights
Low weight mods: - 255/75 17 tyres (larger than my stock but not huge). - lifepo4 aux battery. - homemade storage "draws" weighs about 5 pounds. - light weight hiking gear for sleeping and cooking. - only lighting upgrade is LED headlights (added about 400g).
Things I'm thinking of doing: - replace stock alloy wheels with light weight forged off-road wheels. - lithium starter battery - carbon or fibreglass hood - looking for lighter than stock fenders or trimming fenders. - replacing rear muffler with lighter version. - strip carpet and lining (at least partially) - replace door lining with custom panels - replace full metal doors with lighter half doors and soft upper half.

You Challah! What did butter say to bread? Haha, I'm on a roll! What did the slice of bread say to the cheese? You're the best thing since me!

Goodies from goodies: https://imgur.com/a/MV2nX5c
u/ellezavech If you’re trying to seduce me with the assortment of weird-as-hell facts you wrote for me on this artsy cool card of a floral-decked honey, I regret to inform you that it’s working, baby! So hot! Thank you!!! “German chocolate cake was invented by a woman in Texas.” Das ist unverschämt!!! “A group of zebras is called a dazzle.” Why do I feel these delicious bolts of electricity going through my body? OMG YOU RECREATED THE *already dazzling* word “dazzle” for me, you vibrant vocab vixen! I LOVE IT! Here’s a fun fact for you: If you walked for 12 hours a day, it would take you approximately 690 days to walk around the world. That’s cool, but will it make you shudder? Likely not. And I wanna freak you out. We wee enough wee every month to fill a bath!
u/shipping_addict Thank you for the beautifully illustrated NYC postcard with your fave broadway song recs! I love that Beetlejuice songs are on this list & can’t wait to create a “shipping addict” playlist!!! Wishing that your life is like a broadway musical, with a happy ending - that you skip & sing on the way to wherever you go each day; that both men & women shower you with flowers but then antagonize you (because there has to be conflict in every broadway musical) by taking the last burger in the lunch line (we’ll only mildly antagonize you because you’re just too nice); your bestie intervenes, says you look lonely so bestie sets you up on a blind date but then there’s some screwy, snarky, sinister mix-up where your blind date sends his widower dad instead of himself but then when you decide to date the hot, sweet dad who appreciates you so much & when you show up with him at the family bbq, the naughty-hottie son takes one look at your sweet, sexy self, chokes on his hot dog, gets jealous & tries to win you over, but then you burn his dumb @$$ for being deceptive, but then he saves your dog Dodo from being run over by an escaped convict in his stolen bakery food truck, so then y’all get together, but OMG you forgot about the sweet dad you're dating, you sweet silly girl/guy (I get confused with which pronouns I should use on this sub) so you hook hottie daddy up with the lunch lady who stole your burger because you realize she’s essentially not so lame & was merely hungry for more than just beef which is so relatable…
u/FancyBeadedPlacemat Thanks for the free-with-purchase hahaha frog fest postcard - that is crazy interesting that Calamity Ware gave you this card for ordering dishes from them. Honey, if it’s a calamity, I’m so there. At least that’s what my mom says. Please excuse me while I Google “Calamity Ware” & then spend 38 hours searching for the *prettiest* dishes I don’t need/don’t have room for because my mom is mean as hell because you had me at postcard freebies! Wishing you anything you want in life my friend - BUT NOT THE MOST DISGUSTING film scene I have ever seen - the freak frog shower in Vanilla Sky that put me off food for a month. ;)
u/cookalot Oh yeah? Wanna come over? You’re so literally hot with all that scorching, simmering stovetop heat. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day I saw your yummy username, you tantalizing tease. Thank you for the fun cute stickers & postcard surprises, which I’m so happy to pass on! The “Widest Beaches in the World” postcard had me chuckling because I didn’t have my contacts in when I opened your mail so at first I thought it said “Wildest Beaches in the World”. I thought the honeys on the beach were naked (but after I popped in my contacts, I noticed they’re just wearing tiny clothes, but clothes nonetheless). So thanks for that grand disappointment. KIDDING - I’m a huge southern girl nerd who’d blush for a yeafreak out & mail this postcard SO FREAKING FAST to weird/wild/wonderful u/pinkpengin ;) if this were actually a weird wild naked beach bunny card. But seriously, this beach baby is already on the way to u/travel4me22 for their birthday scavenger hunt so how fun! Wishing you joy & total privacy if you do wanna party pantless on the beach, fine friend!
u/primaryloon Thanks for the super pretty Haleakala National Park postcard!! Yesssss you know my colors!!! The bright orange & pink on the card are just so soothing & happy! You're such a sweetie. You kindly wrote: “How I would love to be in Hawaii enjoying the sunshine right now! I don’t think my arms have seen the sun since October haha. I’ve never been to Hawaii but some of my friends went there for Christmas & the pictures they brought back were stunning!” After reading your cute message, all I could think is that I wanted to punch your braggy friends in their smug little sunburned faces. HOW DARE THEY NOT TAKE YOU WITH THEM?!? You’re a total sweetheart! And how adorable are you that you had the patience to sit through their sunburned show-off pics?!? OMG you are a saint! I hope you’re able to visit Hawaii soon or even Hell if you damn well please because your sweet little heart wants a real tan! Not that I want you to go to Hell. You do know I adore you, right? I’m sorry, I’ve had too much coffee without any food & shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a keyboard right now. I just want whatever you want - I melted at how sweet you are to care so much about brightening my day & it made me sad that your “friends” left you behind & then bragged about it. I’m gonna need them to make it up to you. Anyhow - your sweet card & innocent, loving thoughts make me smile! Wishing you zero tan lines & the best food in Hawaii when you do go! I’ve heard the fruit there is spectacular! Oooh Fruit of the PrimaryLoon! Someone take away my laptop NOW before I commit another crime, please!! ;)
u/htmljenn Thank you for the awesome illustrated NanoWriMo postcard!!! I LOVE the beautiful haiku you penned for me: “I write to create a brand new world of magic living in my mind.” This is so cool & inspiring - I love the idea of magic having a castle in the brain! I once tried NanoWriMo but I suffered a tragic accident on day 26 of the 30 day challenge & didn’t finish. When I realized my protagonist was lame & boring, I got so depressed I binge-watched Grey’s Anatomy where McDreamy mcswindled me into not mcwriting anymcmore. His dreamy eyes are pure witchcraft. If you participate in NanoWriMo this year, I hope it brings you lots of joy. Wishing you creative plots full of holes because I’m a jealous jerk (kidding - wishing you perfect plots free of hellish holes, my kind friend!!) #MoPlotsMoProblems =)
u/Ashnetta x 3 Thank you for the cool thank you postcard featuring the 1909 planetarium patent! I just love anything historical & artsy like this. And I so admire your affinity for penpaling & agree that it’s so much cooler than emailing! You said, “Maybe I am romanticizing the past too much but I find beauty in putting pen to paper.” My friend, I don’t think you’re romanticizing the past at all - pen, paper, & snail mail are so much fun!! Thanks for the fun sticker bomb postcard with the sweet sun (what a cool illustration!!) & fun stickers on it! Thanks also for the awesome observatory postcard, which you decorated so elegantly with the washi tape on the border - this is so smart! I love your idea of spicing up the white space! I also appreciate your fun observation on memory. I have this brilliant friend, Dr. Iggy Frome, who shared with me *personally* that our mind can often “create” memories to process trauma. Fascinating, right? If you’d like to consult with Dr. Frome, I regret to inform you that some crap-for-brains idiot pulled the plug on one of my fave medical dramas, New Amsterdam, & we no longer have access to Dr. Iggy’s wisdom. “How can I help?” my @$$! But I’m so happy to have the lovely memory of meeting you on this awesome sub! Wishing you an endless supply of your fave paper & trauma-free memories!
u/jess_4943 THANK YOU for this homemade slice of history’s cutest piece of bread!!! It’s so cute that I almost couldn’t even look straight at it - does that even make sense?!? When I opened the envelope sitting in traffic, I started taking it out, took a peek & gasped. It was so perfectly pretty & cute I said “NOOOO!” & had to put it back into the envelope! I drove & then 15 minutes later, I parked & was finally brave enough to face its blinding beauty. It’s so darling it reminds me of what Tina Fey once said about actor Jon Hamm. “Jon Hamm is the most handsome man on the planet; I need to poke a hole in a paper plate to look at him, like an eclipse.” So my friend, that’s how I feel about this beautiful bread baby on the card. I LOVE how you crafted the entire card, from the stunning gold heart-shaped embellishment to all the vibrant shades & unique textures of pretty pink paper you used to the stitching-like edges you crafted. The entire thing is so cute it HURTS. And now it hurts me to tell you about a funny thing that happened. I gleefully read the sweet words you wrote in your gorgeous card. I didn’t see my name written inside the card (& I never expect to see my name inside cards - hello, of course all the gorgeous mail is MINE). But then when I returned my priceless, perfect card to the envelope to keep it safe, I was *horrified* to see that this gorgeous gift, my beautiful bread baby was addressed - gasp - to my niece who lives with me part-time. Oh NO, honey! You are SO SO OUTRAGEOUSLY SWEET to think of my niece - & I’m so thrilled I obviously asked for it, but I confess that I already took a black sharpie and crossed out her name on the envelope to pen in mine because I CAN’T & WON’T LIVE WITHOUT THIS CRAZY CUTE CARD!!!!!! ;) But seriously - I won’t let your efforts go to waste. I will be so generous & promise to SHARE the card with my dumb niece. She might be permitted to touch it if she has medical-grade gloves on her grubby little hands to protect my beautiful bread baby but I’ll never reveal that it technically belongs to her. :) And that is how nutty you’ve made me with your huge heart bursting with infinite homemade love!!!! Thank you! Wishing you infinite joy & only the squishiest, softest slices of sourdough bread, & never the first or last slices of trauma (unless that’s what you prefer, you sweetheart) & buckets brimming with butter & the best homemade strawberry jam!!
u/scrawlingdoc Thank you for this super fun Smarties, Lego man, & “Digestives” collage card! I love it! It’s so fun & you’re so creative! I hope your baby girl had a wonderful 3rd birthday party & that you didn’t get an ice cream headache, friend. I LOVE Smarties & get excited when a family member buys them from Canada or England. Ever tried Smarties with popcorn? So tasty! I would, however, implore all the manufacturers of Digestives to work on their branding because they sound kinda scary to Americans. For some reason, they sound like laxatives even though they’re typically described as “sweet-meal biscuits” or “whole wheat shortbread”. What if we call them “Tummy Tasties©” or “Tummy-Wummy Tasties©”? Wishing you joy as sweet as Smarties & that your little girl has sweet Smartie dreams on her new “big girl single bed”!
u/eccentric_bee x 2 Thanks for the brightly colored, surreal-looking neato AI postcard of the gardener & the cute little critters in the garden! I can’t stop staring at it - this fun scene looks like it belongs in a film! I just wonder what has them mesmerized in the distance. They look so excited to see whatever is there - I’d love to hear from the artist if you’d like to share more! Thanks for the postcard featuring your gripping AI art of the little girl & bunny! The expression on her face is just simultaneously heartbreaking & beautiful. That’s some skill! I also love the silly joke you wrote: “I had a dream last night that I was a muffler. I woke up exhausted.” Hahaha! Here’s a joke for you. What do you call fake spaghetti? An impasta. ;)
u/germymany Thanks for the fun emoji postcard! Happy you got back into RAoC - I just joined at the beginning of this year & it’s totally what gets me out of bed in the mornings! Wishing you lots of snail-mail serenity!
u/MaeveTheBrave Thank you for the fun floral card with the awesome playlist! Can’t wait to check it out. Thinking I’ll need to create a special playlist for recs from this sub! Love that you used 4 different pretty colors of ink on the card & the neato personalized RAoC stamp you have!! Wishing that all your inkpads are perpetually juicy without you refilling them!
u/relax455 Thank you infinity much for this spectacular watercolor homemade art card you gifted me of the pink-haired mermaid! All of the mermaids you painted are just so dreamy! I’m in awe of your talent & wish I could be as skillful as you. Looking at this gorgeous gift is so soothing - it’s just a fabulous feast for the eyes! I noticed that the colors you used for all of the mermaids are so happy, bright, & bouncy - I’m so drawn to your style! What I love most is how not only are these cards so wonderfully whimsical, but extraordinarily elegant at the same time!!! That seems like a super rare quality to have as an artist, so I’m especially impressed & thrilled to have this gorgeous gift I so wanna frame!!! Thanks for making me so happy & for spreading kindness & cheer by sharing your heart & your talents. :) Wishing you incredible joy as you continue to create & mermaid-magical days!
u/cheeneebobeanie How special do I feel that you sent me this gorgeous artsy illustrated postcard all the way from the Phillipines!?!? I love it!!!! Thank you!! Everything about this card is so gorgeous - you have amazing taste in art & postcards!!! I LOVE that this is an illustrated depiction of the country. It’s a treat to look at it with the mini horse on top of the tour bus along with all the flowers and birds springing from it! And the people on the card are mesmerizing. You made me feel so loved with this treasure. I hope you had a FABULOUS time in the Phillipines - if you get a chance, I’d love to know about your fave part of the trip! And how was the food? Wishing you sunshine & the sweetest of future tour bus travels!
u/annoyinglangers Thanks for the cute typewriter Valentine with the kind, loving wishes! I just love typewriters!!! I also love how sweetly you decorated the envelope & card with the heart doodles & pink lips. Hope you had a gorgeous Valentine’s Day & that you were gifted so much chocolate you wanted to puke!
u/zenshark33 x 2 THANK YOU for your kind thoughts written on the prettiest geometric-pattern with the fun colors & for this spectacular philately paradise! Thank you for taking the time to lovingly take care of these beautiful babies only to generously gift them to a total rando like me. You’re so incredibly sweet & made me feel so special! They’re so much fun to look at - I feel like I should wear gloves to handle some of them because they’re so neato. The Olympics ‘84 one with the bright colors is just gaga-over-it gorgeous! Thank you so much for thinking of me!!! I love it all & can’t wait to spread the love! Wishing you joy, a life free of snail-mail paper cuts & that the next post office associate who assists you falls madly in love with you & gifts you a legit lifetime supply of forever stamps without stalking you or making a loved one jealous! But please, only pretty stamps, not the boring US flag forever stamp - I love my country, I really do, but damn that stamp is so boring. I can’t believe I bought a roll from Costco sight unseen the first week I was on this sub at the beginning of this year because I was so crazy excited (and I didn’t even have a single card to send at this point). So the joy you brought to me with all the fun, fabulous stamps to ogle & stroke is REAL my friend!! Thanks again!
u/SherlockLady x 6 OMG you are a snail-mail love bomb!!! So many fun treasures constantly flying through my mailbox ***unprompted*** & I cherish them all! Love the unique postcard of the fairy kids in the forest floating over the river & in the sky - so much to interpret here! Love the vintage postcard of the monument in Europe which I’ve seen in person & am embarrassed to say I can’t recall what it is but this vintage pic of it is just so cool! And literally how cool-as-heck old is this vintage Opelika, Alabama postcard?!? It looks like it’ll disintegrate anytime now if I’m lucky! ;) I’m obsessing over the super cool old-school vintage postcard of the girl in her fun socks & pencil skirt getting her pic taken on the car! It’s so old-school Hollywood glam! Thanks for the gorgeous handmade pink valentine with the beautiful white doily, felt & sparkly hearts, & pretty floral stickers!!! Your handwriting is so pretty - & your words are so uplifting & sweet! Everything you make is like a love factory exploded!!! The card of the bear holding flowers & the fun inserts of the sciency scrapbook & other bits are so cute! And then for the most delicious desserts - you sticker bomb ME, not even the card, with the most darling Sanrio stickers to use!!!! These Little Twin Stars stickers gave me little terrific twin heart attacks with how precious they are - the colors & funny things they’re doing make me so crazy happy! LOVE all the awesome stickers & paper bits - the kawaii ice cream cuties; the “Fabulous AKA Me” cassette tape sticker - hilarious & perfect; the vintage-y makeup/perfume/stamp stickers, & all the journaling ephemera. I appreciate all your love, generosity, & friendship so very much! I’m so spoiled now, my cottage cheese lunch just curdled, as does every dairy product within my eyesight when I open your mail! ;) Wishing that none of your delicious dairy products ever perish, like their chemical stability is so miraculous that your fridge becomes a lab for wonders of science! Most of all, wishing you an endlessly flowing river of love & laughter, & light!
u/ResidentComposer1939 Love the username & the stunning artsy card featuring the scene from Odyssey of a Manchurian! It’s a joy to gaze at this lovely card. I also found it delightful & so comforting that I’m not the only wordy kid on this sub. Kidding! Seriously - I was THRILLED at how much you wrote & it made me feel so special that you composed your sweet resident @$$ off for me! Like I’m a stranger & you mighta sprained a wrist with how much you lovingly wrote. No better treat than some lengthy letter love with zero white space in a card!!! I admire your enthusiasm to write so so much - it takes a brave soul to bare a soul. And I couldn’t agree with you more - “...when I shouldn’t be taking a break to write for no reason is when I most want/need to write.” I admire your discipline because I know people who claim they hear the voice to write but then don’t. I’m also happy & not jealous, I swear ;) to hear about all the positives with your career - your accomplishments are tremendous! But I also get what you’re saying, that eternal human dilemma…“to always yearn for something more” as you eloquently stated. This resonates with me so much. It was my pleasure to listen! Although I don’t have an answer for you, I want to leave you with a Rumi quote that has helped me so much with the same dilemma. “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” Wishing you joy & peace as you navigate through your yearnings, sweet friend!
