can I ask how you spend your days, that you're able to find so many on the daily?
not doubting you, at all, just curious as to the frequency.
well said. I can't remember the title, but I watched a documentary on the Lego company a few years ago. iirc, at one point, when they were showing some of the manufacturing process, they showed a fucked up brick, and how they try to destroy anything like that, because people act like they're stupid-valuable, so they try to stop that stuff from getting to the public (as I understood it) almost as a way protect idiots from themselves. I get it.
The 28-year-old Butker then took aim at President Joe Biden's policies, including his response to COVID-19, which has killed nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
that's one way to arrange that set of words, wtf. how many other millions are dead because of Biden that this story isn't telling us about?!
idk, my $100/year for the email, 10 simultaneous vpns, and 510GB now 520GB of storage.
but there's probably other revenue sources other than my one annual plan 🤷
I turned off the you-filter so I can show you how easy it is to filter out whatever you like, be it whole instances, communities, or users.
spam is whatever an individual deems it to be. if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam. I don't want "content" for its own sake. I prefer quality or originality over quantity.
side note: reddit stomped the individualism out of their users, the very source of their success. like others have said here, I'm not interested in seeing posts from there copied to here.
I'd like to see more engagement and interaction on here, I want this place to grow, but I also don't want this place to only try to imitate the reddit board. I'm sure I come across as 'old man yells at clouds,' that's fine, whatever. however, I think most people here would agree that there needs to be a balance. why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?
I mean, c'mon, he's a dead ringer for the classic dark forestmen. not that I'm complaining, can always use more medieval characters!
then you're going to have to get the police station modular, because the jail cell toilet has pee and poo pieces in it. and the Ninjago city markets also has the first working Lego toilet.
sorry if my knowledge drop costs you an extra $600.
great details in the floors and walls. the longer I look, the more I appreciate.
actually, the longer I look, the more I appreciate original posts. this recent explosion is borderline spam. we're one step away from being flooded with people posting pictures of boxes. time to test these filters.
the dropped pick 6 that should've been...
purdy made so many bad decisions, and escaped with zero consequences.
love hits his receiver in the hands (or was it tipped?) and it gets picked. SF got out-played all game, and is lucky to have faced a team that had to rely on a rookie kicker with the most missed kicks all year.
truly the game of inches.
I'm partial to 
dropped pick 6.
hell yeah brother, cheers. I've been awaiting the right moment to serve up this pasta
I see it; works fine for me in both sync and boost 🤷
after all the badwill they sowed the last couple years, the Browns only just started with the reaping. as an Ohio fuck who was raised to be a fan of Cleveland, I say bring it on, they asked for it. back to the basement for you!
that's it, that's the post.
if you're surprised at the lack of effort on my end, then you'll be blown away by how Philly played in their game tonight against Tampa Bay. never seen an entire team so collectively uninterested in being in a game, let alone a fucking playoff game.
the Bucs' receivers did make a valiant effort to keep the game close with all the drops. 6 in the first half, iirc.
two of the losingist teams ever.
one helmed by the QB that the browns threw away, shortly after not only making the playoffs, but beating a divisional rival, at that!
the browns have never been to a super bowl. well, when moved to Baltimore in the '90s, and then won one... then about a decade later these "new"-browns won another... led by Joe Flacco.
there are many interesting stories with each matchup every year. but this... it being a possibility not in week 10 or 11, but in the playoffs! it's fucking transcendent, imo.
a Baker vs Flacco Browns super bowl is a possibility 🤯
that could be happening in just a few weeks. it could actually, really be fucking happening.
Yo, where's the weekly game thread?
guess I'll make one, so get in here and celebrate your team making it to the dance, or bitch about the sorry ass state of your team, or maybe they did as well as could be expected, and you're happy with the season.
Cleveland @ Houston is probably the most interesting matchup, to me. Pittsburgh @ Buffalo sounds fun. My favorite aspect of the game between Green Bay @ Dallas is that, by Sunday night, there is a guarantee that one of them will be eliminated.
I guess it's only fair that Green Bay kept Seattle out of the playoffs this year, after week 18, 2022. That said, ftp.
the big man game winner that never was.
what a year for spectacular finishes erased by petty ass calls from refs.
that bag is worth its weight in gold. hard to say any specific set from completely random pieces, but there's a lot of good shit in there, absolutely.
and now they're probably out. c'est la vie
That's all, nothing else to this post. Why am I posting this? Is this an ad, a review? I don't know, but the entirety of the build, the pacing, new elements, everything is wonderful.
If you're into the botanical or architecture sets, or just want a display piece that looks great from any angle, I cannot over-recommend this gem. Plus, finding it for under $80 new (~30% off $110 msrp) isn't too difficult; I found one on eBay for $70.
been thinking about getting this set, but didn't want to spend the money, so I made it with parts I have... and made it infinitely cooler by implementing the M-Tron color scheme!
Don't think too much about the specific ships and colors and how they relate to the films; I know that part doesn't make any sense. but it's cool, imo.
Some more pics (as always, which apps will display all 5 images? who knows!):
so, what are y'all working on? a few months back, I decided to build 6085, the Black Monarch's Castle. I always loved that set, but didn't have it when I was a kid, so I built it with the parts I have. then I modified it with some more modern touches, like the cheese wedge crenellation (yeah, that's not very modern, it's all relative). then I decided to expand. then expand more and more, to the point where it is now, with a very similar size and shape to the Ninjago city gardens.
What happens when you buy too many (or just enough) of the same set, and have no choice but stretch and exaggerate the original frame to comical proportions.
Someone suggested I mod it into a cube-shaped bus, and I really like that idea. Might get to that lil project some day.
Hope this post gives someone a laugh. I had a lot of fun working on it. Still have enough bricks for a few more levels.
What else should I do with this monstrosity?!! With a slight moderation, I think the bus will fit through the garage door rollers. So, comically tall, absurd garage to house this abomination?
(looks like I can add more than 1 pic to a post now, hooray)
Earlier this year I was inspired by the most recent X-wing polybag, and created a whole series of adaptations of similarly scaled Star Wars ships into classic Lego themes. I posted them to reddit, but they've since been deleted. I'm moving them here. What do you think?
!Uses only two 8x8 trans-neon orange plates, and a bunch of 1x2 trans-red bricks. Aside from the exposed studs on the one plate, it's a perfect cube. Just don't go rolling it like dice!
Kinda unrelated: Thought I would use this to make my first Lemmy post. Still kinda sad about all the reddit nonsense. I miss Boost.
Now why does this sub have so little activity? I know this is new and young and growing, but... Come on! Guess I'll start posting some of my MOCs to help this space take off!
edit: still figuring out how to use this, specifically how to post a gallery rather than a single image. I've used Thunder (not too bad) and Connect (pretty shitty, tbh), but not any other apps yet. Anyone here have a favorite app so far?
