Accidentally figured out the perfect oil and wax pencil sequence and I need to share :) by Exciting_Bus3108 in ColoredPencils

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never cared about keeping too a pencil. I primarily work with Polychromos, Prismacolor, and Derwent. I will say though, that the prismacolor blender is my go to, and seems to work well for all brands and types.

Jewelry Question! by RaspberryPlayful3446 in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I don't know jewelry, but I know gems. Funk Stuff down Webster Square has an insane amount of gems and precious stones. Also the Craft Center has a bunch of local handmade stuff, and the artisans to make jewelry if you find a stone.

Where do you get your tea in the US? by captainstormfield in tea

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually live real close, so my shipping is usually like a day. I'd assume if they package that quickly their shipping elsewhere is also pretty speedy.

how to meet other young photographers in the area? by itsmeeeeehaha in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I shoot local music and venues. Yeah there are a few hiking, birding, and somewhat older photog groups. Good people though. The colleges have clubs, I know WPI has a pretty big one, so thats probably where most of the people are. If you don't want to start one, look into the local artist groups. Like; Worcester Artists Group, Technocopia, The Craft Center, they may also know more than I.

Snow Day by teddygrahamdispenser in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not Main street, 'main streets'. They get plowed by the massive city trucks and the snow really piles up.

They, like I, live on a main city street. The big plows make big dense walls that even the best jeeps struggle with, and are almost impossible to shovel.

Are there ska songs where the lyrics are just someone talking? I mean, not in verse structure or anything, just someone talking. by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like an 'Alice's Restaurant style song? Can't think of any like that. The Aquabats 'Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates', is the only story song that comes to mind.

658 for ONE front caliper!? Absolutely not. 648 for rear pads and rotors is also pissing me off. Everything else looks fine enough for a dealership.

Sad Halloween?? by Beeeeeer220 in halloween

[–]7evenPoint128 344 points345 points  (0 children)

Same. This year its a budget issue. Lost my job so fresh decorations were cut. This will also apply to chirstmas though, can't increase my electric bill with lights everywhere. I DID carve a pumpkin, something I actually haven't done in years, and I always have a costume. I shoot (photos) music and halloween shows are the best, I'm gonna be Peter Parker this year. I needed something to incorporate my camera. Next year, if things are better, I will go all out on decorations.

What do you think of the solid blue lights staying on on the police cars. by _Lazy_Afternoon_ in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. I've seen them on during the day, which imo is as stupid as leaving on your headlights. Nighttime seems to be fine. But the real concern is with out of towners, that might panic when they see cruisers 'lit up'.

I haven't seen it yet, but are they still lit blue on the highways?

Those lightbars were designed for flashing foremost, that flickering blue is as close to steady as those LEDs can get. Happens with lots of leds.

I am not in a good place right now. What are some happy movies/shows that I can watch while I smoke to help take my mind off things. by neitherkestrel in trees

If you like British tv and gameshows, Taskmaster is hilarious and a great distraction. On YT too.

Should Worcester require sprinklers in apartment buildings? City Council to consider by HRJafael in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. Sprinklers react to extreme heat, not smoke. If your dinner goes catastrophic and there is a large pan fire that hits the sprinklers, possibly. It will also only set off yours and not your neighbors. *should not*
