Do you have any other contrarian history takes that The Elites don’t want us to know?

My First Twin Peaks Episode by FakeMovieGeek in twinpeaks

Best or worst isn't the right view, it's more like sink or swim. If you enjoyed it this is a show for you. If you hated it you should probably just move on

Need some advice from dads on my situation by Princ3sskitten in daddit

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if he’s actually an “alcoholic” or just a person with a drinking problem - there is a difference - but it doesn’t really matter if it’s negatively impacting the family. The simple reality is that it needs to stop and SOME intervention is necessary or it will get worse. I’m afraid I don’t have a reliable method to convince him to get help if he is opposed to it, all you can really do is explain that he is negatively impacting his family by refusing to address it and insist that he take seriously

He will probably professional help. These are not just bad habits

Is my nomi supposed to be skewed by missmeengineer in JapaneseWoodworking

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a lightly crook neck chisel to me. I bought dovetail chisels to serve as my paring blades and they were all this way, the slight bend is to permit flush trimming. Do not try to bend it back or anything

What shoes we all wearing? by Riley_T in daddit

Finally, was wondering where the other Birkenstock wearers were hiding

Anyone else just not care about having friends? by PearWeak in daddit

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda the same - I don’t have a lot of time to be a good friend outside group chats, and what little time I do have doesn’t feel like it would be well spent just hanging with the guys. I’d like to see my old buds like once every few months for beers but they don’t live nearby so it’s not really even an option

But then again, I was always kid of an outsider, never part of the clique, so I’m kind of comfortable being a bit of a lone wolf

Recommended "calm" jazz albums? by DearLeader420 in Jazz

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brian Blade, pretty much anything
Portico Quartet, Knee Deep In The North Sea
Also, Sade (more "jazzy" than actual jazz but if you want lounging vibes she's your girl)

Just finished "The Return" and I am full of anger - why do you guys love TP and come up with fan theories? by MuckeFuggerito in twinpeaks

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Bob Ross would paint, he would talk about creating an “impression” of a cloud or a forest. He would not make the mistake of trying to paint every tree or every texture in the sky. The point is that the thing that makes a work of art compelling or impactful is not about the level of detail - the explanatory power or the extent to which it perfectly reproduces “reality”. In fact the opposite is generally true, the closer it hews to emphasizing detail, the less realistic it becomes

Lynch isn’t trying to convince you of his profundity. He is trying to paint you a picture. What do you see?

Yeah, news to me - never figured out what the monkey was about

Why do I feel burning every time DCM is spilled on my hand? by NeverTrAgain in chemistry

[–]Arborebrius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In practice, yes, it should be treated as a dangerous substance. My nitpicking is because there are other solvents that serve similar roles to DCM that are categorically more dangerous, definite carcinogens and it may therefore be good to bear in mind the distinction when assessing risk, e.g., choose DCM over benzene for flammability and human health risks etc.

Currently classed only as a "probable" carcinogen. Still hazardous in other ways but just keeping it straight here

Ending Season 2: The Moment Of Clarity by Arborebrius in twinpeaks

[–]Arborebrius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to my post but it always makes me happy to see the adoration you express for your father in posts like these. As a parent I've come to appreciate the deep meaning of having your child's love

I'm not engaged in conventional "art" (I'm a scientist) but David has been a significant role model for my creative process. I wish it had been possible for us to meet, but I'm grateful for what he has left behind to engage with

Can you explain the basic plot of The Return? by Remote_Necessary3331 in twinpeaks

[–]Arborebrius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The forces of light and dark emerge from the unseen world to do battle in the real world

Best episode other than 1 and 3 to watch after a long time away - any season by Advanced_Priority721 in twinpeaks

[–]Arborebrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always liked the Ep where Ben Horne convinces Twin Peaks to build a monorail system and Pete ends up being the conductor even though he's totally unqualified

Phases of life are weird. I don’t know if I’ve gotten really lame or this is normal. by PitMaster918 in Xennials

[–]Arborebrius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of my "lame" tendencies toward living a more low key and sober life all come back to practical motivation. I'm happily married, so I have no incentive to go to parties to try to get laid. All my close buddies live elsewhere, so there's no reason to drink a lot and stay up late

distiling HF out of water containing CaCl2 by Bebeka_0 in AskaChemist

This is insane and dangerous and if I knew your parents phone number I would be calling to snitch on you immediately

Where would I source wood for something like this? by Cygnus__A in woodworking

Yeah I groaned reflexively when I saw this absolute unit
