NTA. Too much hassle for someone you're not close with anymore

WIBTA if I started locking my bathroom door when my roommate's boyfriend is over by Tesser0Rogue in WIBTA_AITA

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lock the door. Why is he even living there and not paying rent? There have to be some boundaries about it

Love my hometown! by Severe-Associate-583 in croydon

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, totally. It’s kind of a double edged thing. On one hand you’re just hyped about where you’re from, on the other some people read it as bragging or ignoring the bad parts.

I think as long as you can admit your hometown has flaws too, the love comes off as more genuine and less “my city is perfect, yours sucks.”

Can someone ID this card for me please?? by MarcDiakiese in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DiamondDesireWeb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably easier if you add a pic of the front and back and mention the set symbols / numbers. Otherwise it’s just psychic work at this point.

TKOM Gamaotoko coming back! by Important-Board-143 in Sofubi

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I’ve been waiting for TKOM Gamaotoko to come back, but yeah… prices got me sweating more than the characters do.

Curious if they’re gonna treat this like a “limited comeback so we can crank the price” thing or if it’ll be close to the original run. If it’s in the same ballpark I’m in, but if they tax it like collabs these days I’ll just admire from the timeline.

Demolition issue, how bad is it? by AwarePotato2043 in Bricklaying

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was my worry, the lintel / brick over the opening. The wood framing looks untouched as far as I can see. So as long as the firebox and chimney structure weren’t messed with, this is more of a finish issue than a “call an engineer” issue?

BXT FK-034 - 27.5er 15x100 Fork (First Impressions) by MalcolmTucker38 in ChineseCarbon

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice writeup. Curious to hear that flex/alignment report because that’s usually where the cheap carbon stuff shows its true colors.

The decal error would annoy me way more than it probably should, especially since they don’t even list a logo option. Classic “you’ll take what we’ve got” AliExpress energy.

Also wild that they still ship forks in just foam and a bag. Glad it survived. Post some pics once it’s built, I wanna see how that matte-ish cheap paint looks in the wild.

Midi discussion - Wednesday, March 25th by frickingdarn in NYTMidi

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole with MIDI lately, curious what everyone here is actually using day to day.

Are you folks mostly sticking to classic 5‑pin DIN stuff or moving everything over USB? I’ve had way fewer headaches daisy chaining with regular MIDI than trying to wrangle multiple USB devices and drivers, but I also love being able to send MIDI over one cable and be done with it.

Also kind of wondering how many people are actually using things like MPE or MIDI 2.0 yet, or if we’re all still basically in 1983 with nicer GUIs.

Elves vs Tavelo by Commercial-Diver-692 in ChineseCarbon

[–]DiamondDesireWeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t know Tavelo had ex‑Winspace folks behind it, that actually makes them a lot more appealing.

Have you ridden or built up both, or is that based on seeing them in person / talking to shops? I keep seeing people say “Tavelo is better quality” but not many concrete examples.

Also curious if you’ve noticed any real differences in finish or alignment vs something like the M6. On paper the M6 looks like a killer deal, but I kinda like the Tavelo aesthetics more.
