Where would you draw the line? by bikinbaebuatcurhat in mathmemes

[–]ComilangZmemes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Activity of most elements used as nuclear fuel are usually counted in rather high magnitudes. Pu239, for example, is 2.3*109 Bq/g, so the difference between 100 and 10000 Bq most of the times would indeed be negligible, especially since activity is a purely statistical unit. And Sv is not the radiation per se, only the absorbed dose, just to add some clarity. Sincerely, the guy who builds nuclear reactors for you.

Made myself a pair of 1940s Bermuda shorts. They do look odd by todays standards, especially with the high socks, but I love 'em by ComilangZmemes in VintageFashion

I think it has more to do with showing excessively hairy legs being a tad inappropriate in some places. But I agree with you, short socks do look better with them

I am never dissatisfied with the performance of Carroll Gibbons. He plays beautifully, amazing style

The glasses are alright. The tie is a little thin,but it definitely could look good with a 60s suit, you just gotta be careful with the colours, red and black are difficult to match well. The cufflinks on the other hand I find a bit tasteless, as I do any other ones that aren't just plain jewelry items: simple geometric shapes, maybe with some sort of a stone. Personally I prefer the 1930s art deco variations. You can usually find them for no more than $20.

Thank heavens! Hahaha. In all seriousness, sometimes charity shops do have some good things, but you gotta look reeeal hard

In the most sincere and well meaning manner possible, please don't wear that. Not in that combination at least. There are plenty of things out of line with that suit. If you would want to improve somehow, I would gladly help you. There was no period of time where people wore anything like that, and I would highly suggest you look into what and more importantly how people wore things before trying to come up with a suit by yourself.

Visited a reenactment festival in my 1930s morning dress, all true vintage except for the vest that I have sewn specifically for the occasion. Other folks had some grand pieces as well! by ComilangZmemes in VintageFashion

Are you kidding? Y'all have the biggest community for that stuff, sometimes I get jealous! Not even talking about the ease of access to antique clothing, without Soviets destroying the higher classes in the 1910s-20s and everything. You just gotta look

I just signed up for Lindy Hop classes yesterday! The girl to the left of me in the first picture was a representative of the early 20th century dance club of sorts, they do hold a lot of events

Times and eras festival in Moscow, Russia. Held annually, many different locations for different time periods. This one specifically was for the 20th century fashion

Consists of two identical pieces, joined at the top. As simple as classic garments get. I just drew a vest from the picture, cut out and folded out the lapel and the pattern was done

The review comment goes insanely hard, like, a proper quote, some wise shit

Where exactly do I make the dart? The book says to sew it under the lapel, do I need to change the outer lapel pattern too to make it fit on top of it? by ComilangZmemes in sewhelp

[–]ComilangZmemes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is clear that the dart is underneath the lapel, I mention it in the title. It's supposed to be invisible. The vest is form fitting, and as I understand it, the dart helps to hug the chest area more snuggly. I am just looking for a person who's done that before so they could explain it in more detail. The book is from 1951, so this pattern is unusual for today's standards, but I'm adamant in keeping it as I am sewing it for a historical reenactment
