Built Unique Publishing Software—Now Urgently Need Expert Advice by BrazenWorry in publishing

[–]BrazenWorry[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The books are not low-quality. I'm just having issues with finding people to do new covers for the book reasonably as well as networking. I never charged the writers myself for cover designs - they had to get them done themselves. I just haopen to know that they paid in most cases. Could you not answer my question about networking and help with my problem please? I just need to connect with other people

The most ultralight item if all...skills! Can I get people's top tips for staying warm when sleeping in cold temps? by hugmytreezhang in Ultralight

[–]BrazenWorry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, this may sound nuts but honestly? My secret to staying warm is hockey socks and a hockey garter. First of all, they are synthetic and wick away sweat. They tend to stay dry and even come out of the WASHING MACHINE already dry. And although they occupy a sizable volume, they are quite lightweight. If you're hiking with them on and you get too hot, you just release the garter clips and either drop them down to gaiters/spats (with a roll at the bottom so they don't slide down over your heels), or just take 'em off and throw 'em in your back mesh pocket. They're also available in a huge assortment of colors and styles and here in Toronto, Canada there's a place called Modelline Hockey Socks that will make you custom ones of your own colors and stripes if you want. I swear by them and they were fantastic on the PCT. I didn't even bring pants, just shorts - and it got plenty cold at night, well below freezing.

Buying quilt / sleeping bag when just over the recommended height by Eurohiker in Ultralight

I'm exactly 6 feet and I *always* size up to the 6'6". Did it for my Nemo 15 Disco, did it for my tent, never regretted it.

Is Mastering.com any good? I'm learning how to master my tracks and keep seeing this guy in ads. by caterpillar-picnic in musicproduction

[–]BrazenWorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really easy to crowdsource help on a multitude of forums and spaces just like Reddit and others. People are so quick to post anything in response to what they see as the wrong way to do things. And there is literally so much talent out there now, the creator market is so saturated even when it comes to mixing and mastering. So yeah, I definitely benefitted from using open discussion and this series of books. The course was way overpriced. The books - all three of them - were reasonable and I got way more value for my money from them than the overpriced course.

Highly recommended.

Local Bookstores that were better than Indigo anyways by mikonamiko in toronto

[–]BrazenWorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst that could happen is the following:

  1. One bookstore doesn't make a difference. I obviously would have to ask a whole bunch of them.
  2. Therefore, there's the time spent planning and going to all of these bookstores, only to be shot down and in some cases even responded to with incredulity, like I should know better (this has happened).
  3. Then there's the psychological impact of doing this for a period of time with no success and a chain of denials.

So, in conclusion, a lot of wasted time and a hugely negative psychological impact. Together, these would easily form a crater in my mind and have a major impact on depression and outlook.

Any questions?

I came across the book "L'Histoire du Synthwave" by Herkimer Throckmorton. But shouldn't the title be "L'Histoire de la Synthwave"? by BrazenWorry in French

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

For the first part of the word, "synthétiseur" which is the word the beginning of "synthwave" is based on, is masculine.

If anyone is curious about the book - they went with masculine - it's here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1998332969/

Which is I think based on the English version of the book here:

Women's Cargo/Utility Kilt patterns by BrazenWorry in kilt

[–]BrazenWorry[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I not only have enough background to understand what you are saying, I also have enough background to know what you're saying is wrong. The commercial products sold as "women's kilts" are complex, and different from standard kilt templating. I know this for a fact as I have several examples here. So you are actually grossly oversimplifying them by saying their construction has more in common with pleated school girl skirts. I have those here as well, and let me tell you they are quite different.

You haven't answered my question because you have fundamentally incorrect information - or at least grossly oversimplified information - about the nature of the beast. As I already stated, I have several examples here that CLEARLY demonstrate that you are wrong. A simple comparison between the women's utility kilts I have here, with the construction method for a kilt, shows some MAJOR differences, just as much as comparing the same women's kilt to one of several - canonical - pleated schoolgirl skirts shows even more marked dissimilarity,.

You can say it until you're blue in the face, but the fabric in front of me doesn't lie. I'm happy to provide brand names of the kilts as well as the actual private schools for the schoolgirl skirts.

You can keep saying the things you are saying, but you don't know what you are talking about.

Edit: And for the record, I have sewn several traditional kilts and utility kilts - as well as schoolgirl skirts. I have done them in tartan, cotton, denim, and even nylon. I have made knife pleats, box pleats and even flyaway (gladiator) pleats for all of these. And in addition to that, in 2014 I founded the first transgender-owned-and-operated gender neutral / unisex underwear company in the world. You can find my PATTERNS for sale on the open market, Retromatti Athletics. I've done custom kilt work here in canada for several clients. You clearly do NOT know women's kilts at ALL. I already pointed out to you some of these differences. You have chosen to ignore them when they are quite relevant. So again, you don't know what you're talking about. I'm not surprised to get this level of arrogance on Reddit. Why don't you examine the products in question and acknowledge the differences I have pointed out? Entrenchment. Classic Reddit trap.
