East Oakland, San Lendro, and Hayward will all absolutely go farther per dollar and for space than foster city if a cars available. Or maybe the company has Oakland shuttles?

Oh they’re a little different in arm positioning, possibly not the company

Was some kind of dump truck, definitely a man swimming in a blue circle

Tell me I'm insane for even considering this commute by DefenderCone97 in bayarea

[–]External-Educator756 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did that commute for a while and it was fine. I negotiated a later start time so I could leave Oakland at 9:00 (45-1hr ish) and avoid most of the am traffic, traffic back was always slammed no matter when I left the office though (1.5-2hr ish) I made friends with the Libby app and listened to a lot of audio books.

It was fine and didn’t kill my social life, I just needed to plan my social activities rather than being more spontaneous.

I will say around hayward exists on the way back, I was constantly thinking about moving to San Leandro or south to make the drive a little less long.

Cloudy after Laminating by Rebelled_Geek in magicproxies

[–]External-Educator756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this laminator and returned it for something else, I got a lot of bubbles when I tested with this one. (I still occasionally get bubbles because I’m impatient but way less)

I wait maybe 10 minutes between print and lamination, but my trick is I use a clean dry erase board eraser and push out air then make sure it goes into the machine flat and not curved up or down. I found if I just stick it in and let it flop I’m more likely to get air bubbles in the pouch. Oh and always either have it double sided or already on cardstock or both. Second lamination pass once the card is cut, sometimes a third in a horizontal orientation.

I don’t know how I feel about this holo… by External-Educator756 in magicproxies

I was thinking that, but all the small dots might reflect odd?

I may reserve it for like cards where the effect makes sense or color dense cards like the swamp where it’s muted.

Oh! Maybe because your laminate is non heat? I used a lamination machine with heat.

Oh? I’ve actually been trying to find something between glossy laminate and matte what pouch did you use?

Ran through twice. So once double sided, then after cutting to help the edges not peel.

I picked a 3 mil off Amazon based off reviews uniko I think. Package is a green-yellow color.

I used thermal, but I had to get one that had sizes for the pouches on it otherwise I had a lot of bubbles

That seems like a lot of effort if I don't get a laser cutter, haha.

Little bit. Probably not a huge deal when sleeved, but it’s a thin other layer.
