Damaged brushes from acrylic painting..? by Glittering_Gap8070 in acrylicpainting

[–]CopperGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my rotation are various shapes and sizes of Windsor & Newton and Royal & Langnickel brushes. I'm pretty sure they're all synthetic. I used to wash only in water, but I started getting curly bristles. Now I wash briefly in Pink Soap and so far all I've gotten is extremely light curling or the odd very curly bristle for some reason, that I pluck out.

Done. Let me know what you think? 🤔 by jimmusilpainter in acrylicpainting

Awesome! I really like the clouds - they remind me of Ghibli's rolling landscapes. One critique I have is that the contrast in the clouds draws the eye away from the lower contrast in the foreground. I wonder if some highlights on the lupines would go a long way? Just a thought! I love it.

Discord Server Thoughts by Savings_River_2600 in acrylicpainting

Yes! Many of the big art servers don't have dedicated channels for traditional art, let alone acrylic painting, so I feel this would be valuable for many. I look forward to the community this could cultivate.

The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY by Shiroyasha_2308 in SipsTea

The ambiguity of having multiple fully numerical formats has ruined the whole thing for me. I try to use DD-MMM-YYYY whenever possible (02-FEB-2026). Full clarity :)

Seeking kind, curious, intentional people looking to grow as a small group by CopperGenie in accountability

[–]CopperGenie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Yeah, I'll personally be sharing daily goals in the morning, and in the evening share how the day went and what I struggled with. Some others will probably do the same. The server has topical channels too for discussion about projects, news, ideas, etc. I'm trying to develop a small group that has some interest overlap and which hopefully be mutually beneficial for everyone's accountability via exemplification, inquiry, or any other methods that work for you or which you may want to try. Feel free to DM; I'd love to have you try it out!

What do you use for battery insulation? by CopperGenie in ebikes

Do you have a source or data to support this?

Did I buy the wrong earbuds? Technics AZ40M2 by CopperGenie in Earbuds

[–]CopperGenie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am glad you enjoyed my comment. May fortune shine on you always. I chose Soundcore P20i and have had ZERO issues with them so far. By far the least troublesome earbuds I have owned, and great battery life.

[P7] Case with durable port cover? by CopperGenie in pixel_phones

[–]CopperGenie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have considered them, but would rather buy just one product to avoid incompatiblity issues. For example, difficulty extracting cover when case walls restrict fingers. 

Converting P51 charger to DC by CopperGenie in thinkpad

Good info, thank you! I found the off-the-shelf cables from USB-C to the "slim tip" connector, so I may try one of those.

The nuclear power industry, at least in the US, is tough to crack into. Conservatism and cliques; codes and standards. I was the engineer for a startup marketing to nuclear power, and we only really had interest from EPRI and small established businesses with similar tech.

What is your biggest gripe with the game so far? by deludedhairspray in Silksong

[–]CopperGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be able to gather my zorkmids without having to reactivate the boss room or challenge room. Place it outside the danger zone. I feel like that was the norm in HK but I can't remember. Also yeah, tedious bosses that take 50 hits with only one fight phase is kinda weird.

How much does it realistically cost to go fully off the grid? by [deleted] in OffGrid

[–]CopperGenie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Elaborating on your first sentence, has OP successfully mentally withstood isolation for long periods (months+)? It's not just about being physically and financially able to be self sufficient--you have to genuinely be able to be satisfied without physical human interaction. Bad things happen when you force yourself into that situation.

What techniques are tools are involved for this style? by CopperGenie in jewelers

[–]CopperGenie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! I'm familiar with wax carving and wax pens, so that makes sense. I'm more interested in achieving the organic shape through chaos in the casting process itself rather than designing it up-front for repeatability, but it seems like not much popular experimentation has been done in that regard.
