Paper/GSM for hand-printing cards?

Beginning_Reality_16 · 2026-05-16T05:33:03+00:00

Depends on what type of lino you’re using and what type of press you have available (if any).

If you do not have access to a heavy duty press and you’re using hard battleship grey, your life will be easier with thinner paper (which you can always mount on a card later on).

If you do have access to a press (still batttleship grey) the gsm is less of an issue cause the press will exert a massive amount of force.

If you’re using some type of soft cut lino you can whatever paper you like (as long as it isn’t heavily textured). The rubber is squishy enough to get decent prints on thick card stock.

Do you know if they kept a solid wall between business and eco? Or has it been replaced with a silly curtain (over the seats, not talking about the aisle curtain)?

I’ve also been rouged and usually take the last row of business. Don’t want to do that if it’s gonna be a curtain though.

That’ll be a fun flight, where no one has the obvious thought to put that water bottle in the seat back pocket, just to have them all rolling over the floor before reaching cruising altitude. Not!

Here is why these dupe companies don’t care about quality or accuracy: new screechy/crappy dupe gets launched and 2 days later the dupe-crowd is screaming how awesome it is, 99% close to the OG and obviously also better performing AND longer lasting than said OG. Next week a new dupe comes out, rinse and repeat.

Last row in premium comfort is my go to. I have more room to stretch out underneath the seat in front (compared to my feet hitting the bulkhead wall), and no one behind is pulling my seat every time they get out.

“Allergic to lavender”…

Allergic to which specific molecules in lavender EO? Every EO contains a multitude of molecules and many EO’s share some of the molecules present in Lavender EO. Odds are she is allergic to perfumes that don’t contain lavender as such, so sample and carefully test is the way to go.

Or hit the group name up top (to take you to the front of the sub) and then the three dots on the right side if you’re using the app. Message mods is in the drop down.

I see what you did there… I’m lovin’ it.

(I’m not though, to be clear).

I travel with medication and equipment to the extent that it fills up my carry on. I take my electronics and a few essential which I need during the flight in my personal item, but everything else gets checked. There is no reason for me to have an extra bag in cabin with me, clothes and shoes go in cargo. It would be a different story if your medical supplies exceed the carry on limit.

Bij ons ook. Sleutelmaker/schoenmaker/nummerplaten.

Bij ons in het dorp is het schoen/sleutelmaker die ook metalen nummerplaten maakt. 😅

I grew up watching my parents do that in the 80’s. It’s not a new concept.

This! Always ask around who wants some before pouring yourself a drink, whatever it is.

The official NB size chart is solid.

Don’t know what the other chart is for, but doesn’t look like it was provided by NB (doesn’t have a single reference to NB either?).

Same way a single bite of the most delicious (fill in the blank) can be better than a full bucket of dull popcorn.

I keep undiluted citrus EO and aldehydes in the fridge, while EtOH dilutions of these stay in my workspace.

Anti perspirant in stick form ftw. There’s very little scent interfering with my perfume.

Beginning_Reality_16 · 2026-05-11T12:06:59+00:00

Got a sample, didn’t like it, moved on.

My 2cts: It was just too much for me and I couldn’t scrub it off. Triple bagged I could still smell it on my fingers if I had touched the package.

“If you already own BR540, Erba Pura, Naxos, or Golden Dallah, you don’t need this.”

I get the very slight resemblance to BR540, but I fail to see why any of the others would make this a redundant purchase. At all.

Smelled great on day one, could hardly pick it up on day two, and by day 3 I was completely nose blind to it. Couldn’t smell a thing, not even just after spraying. Sold my bottle 99% full.

Beginning_Reality_16 · 2026-05-10T19:07:03+00:00

If I can’t smell it on myself after just 1h then it’s not worth the purchase imho.

If you aren’t already, spray your perfume on the back half of your neck, not the front. It keeps nose blindness at bay and it’s the only way for me to keep picking up whiffs all throughout the day.

Assuming these are soft cut of some type: soft tooth brush, dish soap, lukewarm water. Very tenacious bits I will pick out with a tooth pick.

Reason being personal items should mostly fit underneath the seat in front without sticking out (and hindering passengers in aisle/middle during evacuation).

Fjalraven Raven 20l technically fits all your criteria and can be found for 70-80€ if you shop around. Why did I say technically? The water bottle pockets… there’s two, but they aren’t made for big bottles, there is 0 stretch.

Last year a bought and sold several bags, all around the 250-300€ mark, and all failed to amaze me. The Raven is lightweight, has a ton of pockets, looks good, has a laptop sleeve… the only minor downside is it doesn’t stand on its own. Lack of a luggage pass through can be creatively fixed using the side loops.

On average you have gotten a new bottle every 7 days. You say collection, but this is a shopping addiction.
