I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I’m planning on watching Bo Burnham’s Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn’t really intending to wait checks watch nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a...

Surviving long enough in the unwinnable battle at the end that the game just straight up ripped control away was an accomplishment/heartbreak.

So there I was with something of an informal competition in front of me to make the “best” shaped charge to blow throw about a two inch steel plate. It was really just something like practicing skills and maybe showing off creativity.

Most people took “best” to mean most efficient, precise, or cleanly shaped hole in the metal. I took a different meaning. A Mongo minded meaning.

People showed up with their creations and proceeded to pack them with explosives. Most were C4 filled and under half a pound, many of them much less. Shaped charges made of coins, wine bottles, whatever else.

I brought a bird house similar to:

Removed the copper roof, put it in a 5 gallon bucket and proceeded to fill the bucket with as much C4 as it could hold. I don’t know how much. It was a lot. More explode means more good.

My charge had to go last for fear of disrupting everything else. I put a dachshund sized hole in the steel plate along with a massive crack. Penetrated the dirt a few feet down. Somebody even recovered the copper penetrator and turned it into a keychain.

After that they put a size limit on how much explosives you could use. Really not my fault there wasn’t a limit in the first place.

Clean begets clean I find. It’s so much easier to tidy up than have to do a big cleaning. You’ve already done the hard part.

Whenever you notice something like that, a space wizard did it.

Sorry I know the resolution for the text isn’t great. If this was a book in my collection I’d had take a few close up shots. But the art was too good not to share.

Yes the cutaway style is great. I wish I had the full book because I know it has tons of different entries.

It’s from the Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections book. The original (Millenium Falcon in the cover) or this updated version.

I probably should have put that in the thread opening. I am realizing I’m quite bad at this internet threading.

For whatever reason Boba Fett is sporting his Return Of The Jedi armor and gun, and Slave 1 is painted in the colors from Attack Of The Clones.

Here you go! I apoligize for the graininess of the scan. The photo should be labeled more accurately that it is using the illuminator from an M2 but without the actual scope attached. The soldier is wearing prototype night vision goggles on his helmet that can pick up the illuminator’s IR light. I should have more properly labeled the post better, and probably will change that now.

That came a little bit later.

Experimental WW2 Japanese fighter plane, the Kyushu J7W Shinden (files.catbox.moe)

The Shinden was a plane first conceptualized by the Japanese military in 1943, and first flown on a test flight in 1945. Even before the test flight, the Japanese Navy had ordered production of the plane. However Japan’s surrender in 1945 stopped production, and in the end only two of the planes were produced. One was...

The artist is professional that has worked for LucasFilms and Disney, and has the image prominently on his portfolio site, so probably not.
