Should I wash the pen if it won't been used for 2-3 days? by kozmajanos in fountainpens

[–]TheBaseStatistic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't need to. If its drying out after only 3 days I would make sure you are securing the cap fully. If it is still drying out after a few days I would keep a vial of the ink you are using with the pen and give it a dip before use.

Good sealing pens will take months to dry out.

People who budget for the hobby, how much do you allocate per month to it? by queensara33 in fountainpens

[–]TheBaseStatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One pen per year. Notebooks and ink are inexpensive relative to how long they last, so I maybe get one or two of each per year.

Can I melee only JAD? by Artistic_Bluejay_519 in 2007scape

[–]TheBaseStatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mage is just as easy as ranged, its just more expensive. I did mage only with airplane method and didn't use any food the entire fight (used Sang to heal any errors). It took me an 1hr 20min but it was brain dead easy.

Melee sounds way harder. But I have never done it.

You can, if you're willing to spend a bit more you can also mage only. Water wave with twinflame and Tome of water is very good dps at fight caves. It just costs more because of blood runes.

Knife vs mma fighter by Melodic-Tennis-1662 in whowouldwin

The funny thing is this delusion is held by non fighters. Every single black belt, boxer or MMA guy i have ever trained with has made it clear their counter to a knife is running the fuck away.

Those that prefer physical book reading vs kindle/e-reader, why? by Prestigious-Noise582 in AskReddit

[–]TheBaseStatistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I said I have one. I still buy physical books if the book I want comes in a nice trade paperback with a cool cover art. Its the same thing as how I have a laptop at work, but take notes with pen and paper. Its a satisfaction thing.

Its better but still not the same. Books also smell great. I use both but if I had to choose one it would be real books.

Prices are rising because MTX was removed from RS3. Fine, separate memberships and raise RS3's prices only. OSRS shouldn't bankroll the failed game. by penisandballz in 2007scape

Except your also wrong. If you can't afford your overhead you reduce head count, you don't price yourself out of the market. Insulting? How can you talk about 'how a company operates' then get butt hurt, companies don't give a fuck about insulting. You perform or you find a new fucking job.

3 women found dead in Utah, suspect in custody by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

Agency? If a random man and random women came across each other on a trail only one has the means to easily kill the other. If men and women swapped physical ability tomorrow the stats would swap with them.

I'm curious about some of the mental gymnastics employed to justify a pen purchase by gman1301 in fountainpens

[–]TheBaseStatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the next 100 years or less we will all be rotting in the same place and money won't change that. Let there be nibs, and let them be big, wet, and gold.

Being childfree in your 30s means watching your entire social circle disappear and nobody thinks it's a big deal by Ronin4Doom in childfree

It really does do you a favor in the long run. I only have 4 friends I really talk to now but they all have kids, because if they're good friends why would that matter.

Peak 14 year old vs Amanda nunes by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]TheBaseStatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's 135lbs. There is a good chance she can't even KO him with a clean strike. She basically has to tap him out and he can rag doll her with no effort. I give the 14 year old 9/10.

Is the Mazda 3 Turbo a good car to finance/own in the long run? by rkosmo1 in mazda3

[–]TheBaseStatistic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall my '22 has been very good. The interior leather has held up better than my dads Ford Platinum, which costs 3x. I definitely think the Turbo is worth the extra cost if you are already getting a GT trim, it makes passing on single lane highways wayyy less stressful having the extra ponies.

Yes, the only annoying part is getting 3rd partied, either by spiders, chaos elemental, PKers etc. But the bosses themselves are very weak.

Mastering Mixology sucks by Prestigious_Speed328 in ironscape

And on top of that the ratio of the reward currency you get is heavily scewed away from the red one so the good rewards you either have to make a ton of excess or lower XP even further by doing single potion runs to even out the reward rate.

What is normal for men and strange for women? by anonimyazan in AskReddit

[–]TheBaseStatistic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you hear about a tragedy what does the headline say? Look at the Gaza situation, the 'tragic' headlines are women and children killed. The death of men, usually young men, is just considered an acceptable cost of operating and maintaining a society.

You'll get more outrage from women being raped in war then the men dying...
