The article is saying that the Institute of Illinois (is it?) published a paper on it. I'm on my phone right now, but I'm looking for this paper when I get home. If I'm wrong I'll put my foot in my mouth but ecology is my passion and I feel like this article is missing details...

Wonder why they didn't have the animal in captivity

Songbirds are hard to catch without causing health-detrimenting stress, but if this was important I suppose they should have caught it anyways.

P.S. I'm not saying the hermaphroditic bird is impossible, I just feel as if the bird in question is not.

Hell no. I looked at some prices for neon and it's an arm and a leg for even small stuff. I'm gonna use stuff called Lychee strip, it's flexible and such, can be spliced together, but has a continuous glow unlike LEDs. More of the neon charm I wanted.

With all respect to you, albinism affects different species different ways. Cardinals get partial albinism, which is a fancy word I can't remember (Pic below). My little brother actually has human albinism to a moderate degree, but he has pale blue eyes and blonde hair.

On a related note, when I googled "albino cardinal", the pic from the article came up. IFLS has dropped in quality and spews psuedo-knowledge bullshit, I'm sorry to say.

What does that have to do with the thread? You insult everyone, yet you are the biggest sperglord here.

He wasn't even insulting anyone.

Everyone calm their tits.

You can't solder on vinyl, I would just use epoxy.

OK. I have E6000 glue. That should suffice, right?

He has a fiancé.

So I was asking you guys yesterday about vinyl for a project I was maybe doing for my brother's birthday. Today is slow as shit at work so I mocked up a (mediocre) Photoshop of what I think it'll look like. I'm guessing right now it'll only cost 40$ or 50$ to make. So I'm asking for your guys opinions on a few things;

What do you think of the design? If you dislike it, how do you think I can make it better?

If anybody is also handy, I'd like to ask how easy it is to drill through vinyl without cracking it (collectors' cries intensify) and if you can soulder on vinyl, for the hex nuts.

I hate when people shart in my hand.

Strange. I've seen the butterflies that do that but never a bird. I'm half tempted to claim that that bird is actually half albino though, and not half female. Female cardinals are usually much more brown than white, and the article doesn't say they physically caught that specific bird and tested it, if I'm not mistaken and I read right...

Why did Barbie never get pregnant?

Because Ken came in another box.

13th birthday; I was ralphing into a can as I shat my brains out on the toilet. Swell.

The one in the pic is actually more expensive than the one I bought. I hate to use a vinyl somebody else would probably like, yes, but I think the aesthetics will make it all the more cool. Plus, I don't think the Eagles debut vinyl is too valuable, only because so many were made.

Go Bills

Ah, so instead of neon which is expensive as shit, I found stuff called Lychee wire that I can make the writing out of.

You know... If anyone cares.

Sure, if I fuck up the one I bought. Thanks.

Atleast I don't suck.

I already ordered the Eagles debut album off eBay because I'm an impatient fuck.

Sorry guys*. Thank you for the suggestions.

I'm about to mock up this clock in photoshop.

I asked this to 2 or 3 people whom seemed not to give a fuck. It's not that important anyways right now.

go to a thrift store, charity shop, salvation army, whatever you call them
they have loads of that shit

Sevkat poisoned my mind; I went on eBay and found the Eagles debut vinyl. I might buy it. I got to run this by his fiance first because she's probably paying me back, and I'll be building it. I already bought my brother's birthday gift technically. But this will be kind of from me mostly from her.

Fuck knows, my friend.

Ratings too low probably. It's part of the reason I haven't drawn lately. I feel bad about life now.

He likes the Eagles. Should I get an Eagles album or would that be a waste? None of us own a vinyl player anyways, I just want it to have a retro motorhead look

Huh. I didn't think through the fact that a blank wouldn't have the groves that make it so cool. But this makes a good backup.

Take a photo of it and upload to the art portal, maybe?

I'm not allowed to do that anymore, but I'll upload it to my art anyways, sure.

I've never used eBay.

My flea market closed.

Me and @Chdonga mourned together that whole week.

So, I'm playing with the idea of making a clock for my brother for his birthday. It'll be made on a blank vinyl disc, surrounded by neon lettering reading "Eddie's Garage" in red and blue to match his Camaro.

Really all I need to know is where to find vinyl these days. I really only need one, or two if I fuck up once. I don't need a pack of 50 to go to waste.

Amazon.com search brings up nothing of great relevance.

Yeah I was aware, it was a joke. You can still go to D&B's, they just serve alcohol for adults. It's a more mature gaming center.

Is that a more localized chain, because I've never heard of it in my life.
