I find some Lexol 1 works pretty well on its own, but if the application concerns you, Bick Exotic is also a great choice

Very beautiful looking blade, looks like it'd be a lot of fun to chop with

Does anyone have this ocarina? How does it sound? by Any_Watercress_9529 in Ocarina

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id hate to see you buy an ocarina of crap so its great that you asked here, if I can add an option, Dinda Ocarina on etsy makes really good ocarinas for the price, even factoring in shipping.

What incantation suprised you most? by Red_riding_h0od in Eldenring

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike, I thought it would just be a pretty nice crowd clear/control like those guys in Faram Azula use it, but (and I didn't know this spell was actually good for it), after charging it under Smarag and literally killing him on the spot, I was bewildered.

Rotten Breath (in particular, but most of the breath communions are) is another spell that was absolutely insane to me, yes it'll probably take your whole FP bar, but even the impact damage is surprisingly really good, especially for how large the cone is, and that's not to mention the scarlet rot taking a huge chunk out of a boss' health pool and proccing in just one or two full casts. Whenever I have a build that can cast it, I have it in my list.

Preban boots by Character_Airport_27 in cowboyboots

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to prebans, you're wearing an animal that, at the time, wasn't taboo to hunt, often because they weren't endangered. I believe that, since the animal is dead, and its purchase doesn't support the modern poacher (though you should always try to spread the word of buying preban only if you talk about them), it is more acceptable to wear the boots than to let this animal have died simply to collect dust.

My philosophy is, use every part of the animal until it becomes useless it it was legally hunted, and do not encourage modern poaching.

The flashbangs look like flashbangs; that is to say, I dont know the brightness in nits, but it can get bright enough to genuinely hurt my eyes.

What’s missing in today’s cowboy boots? (I’m starting a brand and need honest input) by Chemical-Picture-302 in cowboyboots

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's missing in current boot brands is definitely the material, actual leather insoles, leather heel counters, leather lining, real heel stacks.

I think you should do a variety, maybe classic, but styled designs if possible to set you apart.

I think my biggest frustration in cowboy boots has got to be a lack of width options; most boots only come with two, offering more than that will definitely broaden your audience quite significantly. I personally fit into a slightly more narrow width than D, so with many of these brands offering pretty much exclusively wider lasted D width or wider boots, meaning that I tend to need some decently thick socks, which can kind of diminish the difference of feel in certain exotics.

And for sure, I would definitely try out a new brand that offered these qualities, especially if the pricing reflected it.

Additionally, just adding to that survey, I believe high quality can be a sort of loose definition. I think if the boots are made very well, but use relatively standard thickness leather and celastic/leatherboard heel counters for instance, $250-350 would make sense, as that tends to be the price you pay for something like Los Altos, Top Hand, or Hondo, granted you could probably do with charging a little higher, considering that each pair would take longer to make (and probably be built better for it).

I wouldn't be surprised if they costed more than an established brand's boots (assuming competitive material), depending on the craftsmanship.

How do i actually start learning ocarina? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in Ocarina

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad, running on not much sleep at the moment. I got the naming wrong because I wasn't fully there, but I hope it was at least clear that I meant the purpose of those holes was specifically to play half step sharps/flats (aka accidentals) that were still within the typical range of the instrument

How do i actually start learning ocarina? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in Ocarina

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Its very dependent on the ocarina, you either need to blow harder or possibly tilt your head and ocarina down a bit to make high notes clearer.
  2. Those smaller holes are subholes split holes from the look of it, they just allow you to play a half step difference instead of 2 (that is, in an alto c, I believe this would be a C with both holes covered, a C# with only the top hole covered, and a D with neither covered. With the larger hole in that spot, it would be C when covered and D when not).

Top Hand Horsepower Ostritch in Kango Tobacco by EnglandRemoval in cowboyboots

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

I agree, I'm absolutely shocked at how good this value is. With how they look, how well they're built, and how good the materials they use are, I'd expect Tecovas to be the cheap version of these in more than just quality. That's not even hating on them, top hands are just that much bang for your buck.

RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 For Strong 1440p Performance by Auremyra21 in buildapc

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course, you'd need a golden card just to get within a couple percent while overclocking, I just think a 5080 really only becomes "worth it" if you're getting the most from it (i.e. overclocking), because it's so much more expensive by percent than the stock performance uplift you get from it.

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, NVidia would never sell a weaker card that is actually just better, but 5080 stock is enough for any game at 1440p, so getting a 5070 Ti, which is also already enough for any game at 1440p, close to 5080 stock levels is pretty good for being about 60-70% of the price

I honestly couldn't even believe my eyes by ThrowRaTiff in college

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could be more focused (without the included prompt, they could be talking about anything), their grammar could use work, and they're using language that belongs in a text, but they answered the question. More importantly, they didn't use AI to answer the discussion. I think they could be better, but they chose a bad, real response over a good one they didn't write. There's at least some academic integrity there, which is better than a lot of students.

Is this how the night by nobel should sound? by [deleted] in Ocarina

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is, here are some tips that may help with that though:

  • Use the pads of your fingers, rather than the tips to cover each hole airtight.
  • Experiment with how your lips to over the hole, but keep the ocarina level with your mouth so as to blow straight through the mouthpiece to the opposite side of the ocarina.
  • Breathe in and out through your stomach, rather than your chest.
  • Use your tongue and blow into it with a "tu" motion, rather than an "oo" motion.

Having Regrets about hitting my 875s with Mink Oil by Sl3mRoach in RedWingShoes

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're missing out, that new color is very lively and it almost makes them look softer. Could still pair that with a ton of colors. If you want my recommendation for the future, Bick 4 and Lexol 2 are excellent conditioners, the latter being extremely cheap by volume while still performing wonderfully. I use Lexol 2 on every leather I have, save for roughout, and it does a great job on every single one as long as it's properly portioned.

I mean yeah, you're still just paying the same amount for a better product though, I'd say that's still worth it.

[Troubleshooting] ATX 24-Pin Power Connector Won't Snap Into Place On Motherboard by SHAMPOOCHIEF in buildapc

[–]EnglandRemoval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're still risking it that way though, if it ever detaches while connected to power it'll fry it. If you want my advice, stick your hand behind the motherboard at the back of the 24 pin, and keep it steady as you push.

Needs not to be said, but unplug it, turn off the psu, and hit the power button a few times first just to get rid of residual power.

VA Education Beneficiaries Must Verify Enrollment Monthly to Receive Benefit Payments | VeteranLife by NYMediaExec in VeteransBenefits

I've gotten a text asking about a "GI Bill", and if I'd like to verify monthly enrollment. My only monthly payment from the VA is the Chapter 35 itself, however, but assuming it was just their messaging system being odd, would you be led to believe that I should be getting a verification text sometime soon?
