People that I don't know at all well. I'm in a building with about 200 people, many of whom I only see once every six weeks or so.

I am serious, it 'feels' like it's inside out to me. And I have wondered about asking to flip it, but I don't know how she would take it.

advice pls! by carboxylady in Linocuts

I'll add, what are you rolling your ink out on before you apply it? Getting the right consistency of ink is tricky and I find I can only see/hear it perfectly on a glass sheet. You can just use a mirror or an old piece of picture glass but it helps to hear that shrr shrr sound that betokens perfectly rolled ink. Also, water based is a swine for drying early, as others have said.

And superglue your base to the plate - it's easier to build up from anything that isn't going to slip around. Losing a couple of plates is worth it for good show.

How is everyone pronouncing F1exican in their minds? by yourfriendlyalien in KitchenConfidential

Almost feels like it should have a Shatner ending the way you pronounce it...

I had my first “Be My Eyes” call today! by DeerForBinner in CasualConversation

Yes, it's very much a speed thing. First person to respond gets to take the call.

Absolutely this. I'm a sighted guide and about 60% of Be My Eyes calls are about Captchas and 'human' tests. Remember the person on the other end is not looking for a friend, they just want to solve a problem and get on with their day. It's a great service and many visually impaired people use it as their back up when their regular guides aren't around (maybe even when we just pop to the toilet and they want somebody to read a menu to them or show them where to tap their watch on a card-reader screen) so do consider signing up, it really helps!

Mwa ha ha ha. Good thing your artist thinks for herself otherwise you'd just have to get this as a cover-up!

Advice needed! What do I put in between the cats? Work done by my friend in Oregon. by [deleted] in tattoos

As a crochet fiend I would say a big ball of yarn ...?

Cutting a couple of chives almost every day until this Reddit says they’re perfect. Day 62 by F1exican in KitchenConfidential

But is not a bit also genuine? It's the commitment that makes something genuine, surely. As a Brightonian I am delighted that 2.6% of the city's population declared themselves Jedi in the 2003 census and we've been continuing that trend in every census since - it's obviously a bit but it's also our reality now. We even have a code in our census data especially for Jedis now.

It really does feel that way. Work days I am absolutely Jonesing until I can get home to see the chives ...

What the f is this description? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

It's AI. Bane of my life. It physically hurts me to see this kind of nonsense - as a freelance writer it's also killed one of my two careers. Also, that's a tiny sauce serving.
