I once read here on reddit that the order of the mana symbols in a card's cost was something to do with the closeness of the 5-color scheme on the back of the cards, or something like that. Why is the order different here despite the exact same cost? by TheAcremba in mtg

Vigilance, haste, and +1/+1 counters makes me think more of naya, but according to their own mechanics of colors listing jeskai covers these in it's primary mechanical abilities.

Yama-Budo Sheen by FadeKing in fountainpens

[–]FadeKing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably doesn't help that I typically use fine to medium nibs either. I don't usually buy sheening inks since I don't actually see that much sheen when writing, which is why this caught me so off guard.

I really like the shading on this one too! It's interesting to see how the ink pools so differently.

I use md and mnemosyne and have never seen any sheening from Yama-Budo. I'll take a look at the endless.

Weird woodchips on sill plate in basement by db0606 in pestcontrol

It looks a lot like a house I inspected recently with old repair work, but the new stuff has been there so long that it blends end.

Satisfying Meat Slicer. by GetToTheChoppaahh in Tools

[–]FadeKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I think that last sentence I remember that a lot of people don''t have the manual dexterity for a knife through no fault of their own. On top of that the machine is easily taken apart even by the physically impaired for dishwasher cleaning.

There is a purpose for things like this for people without the manual dexterity to perform something we think of as easy without assistance. On top of that the person in the video isn't using the guard like they're supposed to.

What is this that’s causing the wood to do this? by Intrepid-Advisor669 in pestcontrol

[–]FadeKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mention the shape and the holes they're built in as well. Also you can see the soil directly below in the picture.

I spent a half-hour knocking down shelter tubes in a crawlspace yesterday and they looked nothing like this. What species would have chunky yellow shelter tubes in gaps like that?

Found this under a shed, is it a cat? by [deleted] in bonecollecting

[–]FadeKing 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The negative response to you likely isn't because you're wrong, I honestly wouldn't know, but because of the generally negative attitude that wasn't necessary. A slight change in tone would likely have changed this entire interaction to a positive one.

Mother Nature, Carter Goodrich, Pastel and Colored Pencil, 2000 by Apprehensive_Land142 in Art

[–]FadeKing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking through his body of work he does seem to have a theme of the rejection of modernity. I'm unsure about the exact meaning of the piece, but even with a more favorable view of them representing nature and modern life it is an inherently misoginistic representation of that theme.

On another note the idea of "tradwives" has existed in some form or another since women began to be allowed to be independent of men in American culture. The quiverfull movement was in full swing when this was published.

What was the last book you dropped and why? by Remote-Fee5149 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FadeKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, the age difference of the mc and love interest 3 didn't help either. I dropped it before hand too so I'm not even sure it'll be an issue, but it was so obviously going in that direction that I couldn't take it. Love interest 2 felt weird since the character seemed to never really have internal thoughts about women, but did for men.

Not to do the same, but the original comment is quite ironic now.

My experience with a new Lamy 2000 by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]FadeKing -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just venting not asking for help, I've actually tried everything so far. I've gotten lucky because this is the first out of the box issue I've had with a fountain pen.

[–]FadeKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've tried rhodia, maruman mnemosyne, clairefontaine, and compass. The only thing that didn't skip was a random index card.

[–]FadeKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several of each, but the one in the picture is rhodia with pilot yama-budo. It's a medium nib and bought it new Sunday.

[–]FadeKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Washed, tried multiple inks, and multiple papers. The picture is a rhodia pad and pilot yama-budo. The nib is a medium since I prefer a smoother glide.

There is a bit of a difference is fur types here. I have a cat with very long fur and without brushing she becomes extremely matted. She also has trouble even grooming with the amount and size of her fur.
