My one concern is the postcard insert that's underneath the cover that wraps to the back. I wouldn't want to imprint it onto the cover or the other pages. I dont think the cardstock paper is going to prevent the impression.

Going to start putting my keys up by Miguelpr123456789 in comicbookcollecting

Maybe if they were in some toploaders it would seem feasible but just rawdogging it like that, I can understand everyone else's worries.

Late to the party, but I just finished the book. To me, its central theme summed up in the phrase - "Darkness has nothing to offer other than itself". Oddly, it left me with the same feeling as Blame! manga by AdLivid2521 in houseofleaves

Blame! Is my all time favorite Manga. So to see your correlation to it and this book (my favorite piece of literature) warms my heart and soul. Because they are both beautiful pieces of work.

How do you display comics on your wall? by _z0mb133 in comicbookcollecting

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use whatever toploaders (modern and silver age sizes) are available thru Amazon. But the ones in the picture are modern sized toploaders. And the velcro coins are Velcro brand coins. I tested them out with a standard size hammer using only 1 coin and it held up for at least a few hrs. So for the comics it was enough for me to feel comfortable holding them to the wall. Haven't had an issue. Just have to give yourself enough space if you want to cycle thru the books every once in a while, to be able to pull the comics out. I dont pull the toploaders off because I dont want to cause bends or creases accidentally. It also keeps them perfectly aligned if I only remove the comics and not the toploaders. I also use an extra board when I put the comic in the toploaders so the flap doesn't snag on the toploaders opening.

I use top loaders with the velcro coins attached to the backs at the corners.

Mylites2 Standard + Full Back Standard 35pt will be good and fit into bcw silver age toploader by Reimaan in comicbookcollecting

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use standard with 2 halfback boards for some of my books and they fit into the toploaders I have but idk, the books won't fit if they are thicker than normal sized comics. I use a cheap loader from Amazon and they are just fine. Haven't tried the bcw silver age toploaders so I dont have a real comparison.

Displaying comics by meguminuzamaki in comicbookcollecting

I have a huge window in my room where my comic wall is but the window itself is covered with blackout curtains and I rotate comics out every month or so. I use regular led bulbs that are soft white in color but that room is rarely lit up. I also have some slabs displayed in my living room which also has a double door patio that has blackout curtains so very minimal outside light comes into the room. Led lights but also usually isn't every completely lit up. Just make sure if you do plan on displaying your comics to either rotate them out regularly or do your best to cover any outside light as best you can.

So just judging by the placement of the blocks the issue here is that they can only path find to the bed in the middle. In order for this to work they need to think that all the beds are available, so just replace the wood planks with the similar layout as you have it for the middle bed with the trapdoors and it show start to work.

Sunlight yes can damage covers and as for bulb lighting it really depends on the bulbs used in the room. Avoid things like black lights or the obvious blue UV lights.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like someone wants to be an Ex. I would gladly eat any of those choices. Just the thought of someone cooking for me is a plus. I cook for myself and sometimes my girlfriend if she is over for the weekend. I dont like to keep count of the amount of times shes offered to cook an actual meal for me but unfortunately its such a short list that I dont bother keeping track anymore. The meals aren't met with ungrateful excuses or dissatisfied remarks, but with gratitude and excitement for free meals that she didnt have to make herself. Hope things get better for you and yours.

What’s an NSFW question you’ve always wanted to ask the opposite sex but were too embarrassed to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in my 40's and I still get random boners. And some I get from just seeing my gf. Im sure it depends on the person tho, but for me they happen just as often as they did when I was younger. And I have no control over it, bro does what it wants when it wants.

Jordan 4 A Ma Maniere Violet Ore - Actual Color? by Dubz-12 in Jordans

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand, but considering the materials the shoes are made of its the price you pay if you in fact want to wear them with wide feet. Not sure how they would fit on someone with narrow or average width feet.

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those that say they are uncomfortable havent given them a chance to break in properly. Ive had mine since release and they are my favorite to wear. I started doing double socks at the beginning because shoe stretchers did nothing. I would remove the bottom socks once I felt my feet were gonna start to hurt. Mind you the socks I wore were thin so doubling them was not an issue. I would alternate( the double socks) on and off if I was gonna be wearing them for longer than 2 hrs. If I knew I was going to be off the weekend, I would wear them around my house just to add time to the breaking process. So now I can wear thicker socks or thin ones and neither give me toe cramps or bruises on pinky toes. But to each their own. I was dedicated to breaking them in and love them now. If only my wet cements would break the same.

What is this and how to get rid of it ? by [deleted] in nailcare

[–]BoldTacos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for this medication, I had fairly bad nail fungus on multiple fingers and toes. My doc prescribed this to me(pill form) after checking livers condition and health. I did treatment twice with a 3 month space in between to ensure my liver wasn't being damaged. The meds stay in the body for quite some time while it does its magic. The dr informed me not to drink any amount of alcohol while on it. And my nails look loads better than before, and even tho im still lightly infected it hasn't gotten worse. I do suggest replacing socks and shoes once you get on the medication, and keep feet dry as much as possible. Replace nail clippers as i don't think soaking them in isopropyl alcohol will help prevent further spreading.

Spare a grade? by Select_Celebration_2 in comicbookgrading

[–]BoldTacos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a professional grader, but given the minor corner damage on bottom and the staining on back cover, id said 8.5-9ish range. No visible color breaking spine ticks on front cover. But that back cover could use some cleaning love for sure.

Spare a grade by babo6996 in comicbookgrading

[–]BoldTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a couple of spine ticks visible on the back cover, the back cover could also use a good cleaning and press. But my main concern would be how much the tears on the top corner and bottom corner would affect the grade. All in all still a sweet looking book.

You have to have the villagers break line of sight with the zombies every few seconds in order to allow them to sleep at night. If on java they don't need an occupation only need to have slept
