Yeah, I know Lanny is working hard af and I don't expect him to cater to my every wish. Although this one was important to some of us, it would seem you're all either past the hump or well on your way. The policy in place is working as intended and, since we all had to do it before, one might argue that it legitimizes your membership even more robustly. Congratulations, new niggas!

Of course it was an inside job. I thought this was public knowledge already. If some huge event goes down you bet your sweet sweet ass that "they" are in on it. Austin bombings? Canada truck? Vegas Massacre? The trick is to see how few answers come out and how fast the story disappears from the public "news". The ones that linger have a higher chance of being real. The other ones are like a gut punch. They got their reaction, the opinions changed, people got programmed, and certain words or concepts enter the general publics lexicon of fears and doubts. Just look at incels being in the public view. NPR has done like 3 different reports on them following the attack this week alone.

It's not so much a black or white... good vs bad thing. This is our health we could be dealing with here. This is our lives we're talking about. Now I'm not in this thread moaning about dust. I'm just trying to make you understand that there's a better way, and that we don't have to live these lives of oppression.
However at the end of the day it's your own choice though and I can't make you do the right thing.

Kind of ironic in a way that our brain requires vitamin b12 that for millenia only came from animals allowing the development of "ethics" in the first place.

i think they do.
its the same in every autocratic / dictatoric country. those at the top are the least loyal while those brainwashed at the bottom most are the most loyal.
the problem i think, is how to deal with those at the bottom most.
a coup or an assassination followed by regime change by those in the top echelon/politburo could be seen as treason by those at the bottom and mob lynching could ensue.

After 60 seconds in the bath, we pull it out and wipe it down. Use a solvent (usually just iso alcohol, acetone if you used nail polish) to see the contrast. After cleaning up and putting the knife back together:
You probably can't see it in those photos but there are some chips and jagged bits at the bottom of the bottom scale, the result of touching foil at 22v. See the following photo for why this is bad:

My mind was trying to play tricks on me this morning. I woke up all dazed and confused. My sleeping pills had my blood pressure low as fuck and my head was very foggy. I was half tripping thinking that I was in jail or the hospital again. As I started to come to I felt depressed and hopeless. For a time I considered calling off all my plans for the day Cancelling probation. Quitting my job.
NOPE! I threw off my blanket and started dancing. Dancing makes you happy no matter what. Started saying things I am grateful for. Got my mind right.
I jumped in the shower and ate a muffin. I printed off some goal sheets and filled them out. Goals for today: Get to probation, and do what I do. Tell my PO how it is now. He.... did not like that and I have to go to court now.
That wont stop me!
Now I am home. Listening to music. Dancing. Happy.
I got to be at work around 2 and I have no ride but I have a bicycle. So I am going to leave around 1:30 and go on a bike ride and get my responsible butt to work. Making me proud. Doing it with my higher power's help.
Sure things are still kinda screwy but I recognize stuff and that means I can change them and make them better. I am sure there are defects that I am not recognizing but I will eventually. I have enough that I can stay busy making myself a better person for quite a while. Never will I run out of ways to keep making my life better.
I got to accomplish my goals. I have to make the world a better place. I am Fonaplats. I can do this.
At any given moment I am susceptible to delusions. I can take myself out faster than a bullet. The important thing is I do my very best to stay focused, and stay on track. I can not lose sight of what is important now. I have come so very far and yet... It is just the beginning.
I am also going to start going to meetings again. They do help and it is a great way to meet people and be a part of something. I have the tools so I might as well use them.
I love you all very much. I pray for you guys now...
We are winners in this camp!
April 30, 2018 God does for us Page 124
"Ongoing recovery is dependent on our relationship with a loving God who cares for us and will do for us what we find impossible to do for ourselves."
Basic Text, p. 99
How often have we heard it said in meetings that "God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves"? At times we may get stuck in our recovery, unable, afraid, or unwilling to make the decisions we know we must make to move forward. Perhaps we are unable to end a relationship that just isn't working. Maybe our job has become a source of too much conflict. Or perhaps we feel we need to find a new sponsor but are afraid to begin the search. Through the grace of our Higher Power, unexpected change may occur in precisely the area we felt unable to alter.
We sometimes allow ourselves to become stuck in the problem instead of moving forward toward the solution. At these times, we often find that our Higher Power does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Perhaps our partner decides to end our relationship. We may get fired or laid off. Or our sponsor tells us that he or she can no longer work with us, forcing us to look for a new one.
Sometimes what occurs in our lives can be frightening, as change often seems. But we also hear that "God never closes a door without opening another one." As we move forward with faith, the strength of our Higher Power is never far from us. Our recovery is strengthened by these changes.
Just for Today: I trust that the God of my understanding will do for me what I cannot do for myself.

Just a placeholer for the moment, I'll put all the steps and photos in later but I think it went pretty well for a first attempt that I fucked up in a few places:
Basically used a bunch of 11v drone/RC batteries and a coca-cola bath to do the anodizing and a quick airbrush through a stencil to do the masks.
Colours were 22-24v for the base purple, 44-48v for the detail blue. 1 minute in the bath for each.
