They ran out of Elmer’s Glue… 🤷

Well thank you kindly 👍

Cursive is also easier for me, for what should be mostly obvious reasons. But sadly these days, more and more people don’t really know how to read or write cursive, so I figured why not try to challenge myself and step my skills up a notch…

Unfortunately, doing this in print style takes more material, as I have to backtrack over more strokes and make more sharp bends, but as a first attempt, I’m not entirely disappointed. I’m almost certain the next time I try print style, it ought to be just a little easier (barely), and should hopefully come out a bit better.

Still, with all that said, I too prefer the cursive style, but sometimes I just like a good challenge…

Just make sure to boil him first, I’m pretty sure that should break down the chemicals, right? 🤔

Or just feed him to the pigs, either way 🤷

That would indeed be the one, yeah 👍

Eat them, obviously 🍴

There’s an app I keep on all my Android devices (dunno about iPhone), called Survival Manual, as part of my prep information.

Its a totally offline app, all information is local on your device, so it works just fine even if you don’t have internet.

Yeah, those top ‘tits’, for lack of a better term, on the ‘r’ and the ‘n’ were about the tightest bends in the whole thing, and I had intended to fold the ‘n’ very similarly to the ‘r’, as apparently that worked, albeit a tight squeeze of a fit for the tools I’m currently using.

Those letters, plus the ‘a’, actually have 3 layers to them in a few spots to accomplish the shape, very tricky to get even close to right. Once a tight bend is made, there’s really no going back.

The thing that happened with the ‘n’ is basically that my roommate got really annoying and distracting right about that time, and it caused me to lose focus and I made a bend 90⁰ in the wrong direction.

I pretty much knew it was gonna be a loss at that point, but I figured I’d try to salvage it anyways, but nope, it broke ☹️

I do consider this a first of its kind for me practice piece anyways, so it’s not a huge loss for me, plus I have plenty more coat hangers where that came from, so I’ll just try again later.

Hey, I did learn quite a bit in the process at least, not quite sure about every letter in the alphabet yet, but I think they’re all possible, just a lot of doubling back on many letters.

If it counts for anything, after I posted this, I went ahead and kinda bodged in a patch piece to finish the ‘n’ to see basically what the finished product would end up looking like. 🤷

I’m sure if I try again later, it’ll probably go a bit easier, as I won’t have to stop and think as much which way to bend what, and can focus more on trying to be more consistent with the measurements.

The cursive ones I just freehand, no template, but trying to do print, yeah I need a template to go by, which is now drawn at least.

Oh, as far as dotting the ‘i’, well it’s impossible to do that with a contiguous piece of coathanger or other wire properly, so I figure if someone wants their 'i’s dotted properly, well just stick a thumbtack in the wall above it LOL!

Unless you have another idea, I’m game for slight suggestions. Still, I’m gonna tend to doing such things as I see them.

But yeah, this experiment of trying simple underlined print proves extremely challenging, and also leads to more material use due to the extra sharp bends and overlaps taking up more material, so even if I would have completed my name in underlined print style, I would have just barely gotten the 5 letters out of it…

It’s not finished, it’s broken ☹️

It’s a new style I’m trying for the first time, way more complicated than cursive writing…

Yes, indeed I was looking to finish the last lowercase ‘n’ properly, along with proper underline to finish it.

Obnoxious distractions came along, which I’m disappointed with, but caused me to lose focus while bending the sharp points on the ‘n’, causing the break.

I spent hours on this, almost had the first practice prototype close to right, yet my roommate (who wanted to see me take it from paper sketch to real life), decided to act like a toddler while I was bending the last letter, like ‘look at me look at me look at me…’

Stupid shit. I’m still disappointed with my roommate, he wanted to see me bring my pencil sketch to life, but managed to be a mosquito in my ear while bending the last letter.

I spent like 5 hours on it, sketch through bending…

☹️

I’ll keep that in mind, when I manage to get the print version right, or close enough, without breaking it…

I’ve already shared my previous recent similar works here, figured I’d keep my relevant practice works here, until I hopefully get better at least…

A difference between cursive vs ‘print’ type, is that I can freehand the cursive, but the print type requires many more very sharp bends, and a pre-drawn template to follow. Once a sharp bend is in place, there’s little room for correction until it breaks… ☹️

That’s the formula for Brawndo, obviously

Ah yes, I remember the flying tank in GTA 3 and Vice City with the Dodo Cheat…

LPT: Make sure to disable the Dodo Cheat before getting into a helicopter, otherwise the game will freeze crash.

Back in the day, I dinked around with the Windows registry, and found one value under the Recycle Bin CLSID key that you can change a couple of flag bits, to enable Rename and even Delete in the right click context menu of the Recycle Bin, and both actually work LOL!

Once the Recycle Bin is deleted though, it doesn’t just stop working, it just disappears from the Desktop, and can only be restored in another area of the registry under the Desktop NameSpace key by adding the Recycle Bin CLSID back.

Definitely not safe, so very understandable that Microsoft (before the slop era of course) would disable deletion of the Recycle Bin. I have no idea why they’d also disable the ability to Rename the Recycle Bin though, I’d always enable that flag bit, so I could rename it to Shit Can Hahaha!

Umm, there was that one dude that intentionally cemented his head in a microwave oven, and there were not one but two people that put Gorilla Glue in their hair. And then there was that whole Tide Pod challenge…

Which, if any, is a true lower bound, I’ll leave that to the reader to contemplate, but yeah there’s no shortage of stupid out there…

Ah, so Windows 95 is still safe? 👍

So, red pill vs blue pill, but you get a bit of both?

Well it looks like you get more red than blue, but you’re still partly grounded in reality at least.

Which reality is up to the green eraser to decide…

Class Identifier {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (Recycle Bin) did not appear until Windows 95. I’m pretty sure they should be referring specifically to Windows 11, as it’s still receiving updates.

All seriousness aside, let me inform you that if you install any variation of the Calmira Shell in Windows 3.11, and indeed it does actually come with an equivalent Recycle Bin functionality, though it wasn’t programmed by M$, so you should be safe 👍

Anyways, M$ seems to have shot themselves in both feet in recent years, so I recommend you throw Windows into the Trash (don’t recycle), and install Linux instead…

It was a donation from a food bank, but thanks for the thought.

Also, how do you know what bags are and aren’t shitty? Do you have a list of such bags, with weight limit capacity, plus age limit before the threads start to come loose or dryrot?

Didn’t think so.
