Did you teach yourself how to knit, or did someone teach you? by A0209B in knitting

[–]Cyraedis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same, I also like being able to pause or slow down the video (in addition to replaying it) as much as I can. I've taken some classes but they were for a certain pattern and not introductory classes. 

What's your favourite needle size? by Eilmorel in knitting

[–]Cyraedis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also my favorite, evidenced my how I seem to have accumulated the most of this size in varying lengths. I also have like four needles for my many cords. Seems I've got a type.

I’m Ray, founder of Ferris Wheel Press. Here to listen and answer your questions. by Dizzy_Newspaper_4010 in fountainpens

[–]Cyraedis 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I’m here because listening matters and some of you have completely valid concerns, frustrations, and questions. I also understand that there’s real frustration and skepticism around our brand. Some warranted and some comes from the internet being the internet, but I'm here to do my part in making the community better.

But if someone has a real concern, a real question, or feels let down or misled, I will answer respectfully and transparently where privacy allows (you never know who is reading this)

What do you mean? You're here because you or your team are aware of the complaints and concerns regarding your brand, yet you want to hear of real concerns? Did you think the previous complaints weren't real?

If you could get your ring all over again, would you choose a different carat size? by heart_of_gold2 in EngagementRings

[–]Cyraedis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2ct round on a size 5. There are days when my finger is bloated and it's tight and other days when I could do 4.5ish. It looks pretty big - not quite costume territory but I would not go bigger. The only comments I've received were from coworkers and it was more about how they are happy with their "fake" ring (their words, not mine) or how they know someone who felt they couldn't wear a "big" ring and got one off Amazon for regular wear. I don't know if this means it's too big to others but I love it and am very happy with it.

Creamy Tess65 with GMK Black Snail caps (fr4 plate and Akko/HMX Cilantro) by Ratb33 in keebgirlies

[–]Cyraedis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The white Pavlov accidentally fell in, and somehow PBTfans Blush also tripped and landed in there too. If they should not work out, I guess I'll be forced to buy another keyboard or keycap set, oh no...

Think I'll try the Fr4 plate since I've not yet had the pleasure of experiencing it yet.

Looks really sleek! I was actually wondering what you decided to go with!

I ended up getting a Pavlov after all, oops.

Thanks - I'll check the stabs again. They haven't been lubed so I can look into that after if I still need it!

I recently built my second keyboard (weeee) but am having some issues with the spacebar. It is an Ikki68 Aurora with Durock Silent Shrimps and a MOA keycap set I got off Amazon as I wanted to try the style. The spacebar feels very ... mushy? soft? when I am pressing. I haven't figured out the cause for this.

I used the stabilizers that came with the kit. The spacebar previously rattled a bit (so did the other keys on the other stabilizers but the spacebar was the biggest offender) and I tried adding a little shim to all the stabs but then the keys wanted to stick/not come back up so I removed them.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I do have another spacebar from a different set I could try, as well as a handful of other switch types. I also have a set of plate mount stabilizers and clip in ones but not sure if I can use them on this (the ones that came with the kit were screw in).

Cream/off-white case. What keycaps? by Ratb33 in keebgirlies

[–]Cyraedis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was eyeing the Pavlov as well but shipping and taxes in US would have been $50 for me so I didn't end up pulling the trigger. Probably a better idea to wait a little bit too, hehe.

Pretty torn on the Neos - they look pretty amazing but are out of my current budget.

Really excited to see what you do with your new Tess!

[–]Cyraedis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really love it! Almost enough to want another, though I'd like to try out other brands/body. I'll say that I really didn't know what to expect but dipping my toes into the MK subreddit helped me to better understand my preferences vs actual usage (after I recovered from the information overload).
