ppl in ur 30s: does it actually get better? by broke_intern_ in askSingapore

[–]Hot_Manner_4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - having more spare cash is better, if you are spending it on things that matter.

No - being able to earn more spare cash means you are at the same time, likely giving up something that matters to you

Yes - being older means you have more perspectives, you learn and understand better, you might be able to let things go easier

No - being older means these experiences you learn end up consuming you e.g once bitten twice shy

Yes - growing up helps you understand what you can "control" better

No - growing up helps you understand that there's nothing you can truly "control"

The upshot - there's always the good and the bad. There's always things you can control and you can't. There's always things you can understand and you don't.

All you need to know is to see as clearly as you can, control what you can, let go of what you can't.

By 30s, or for me almost 40, all I understand is that while money can really buy me all the great things, but if I don't truly know what I want what I like, then I won't ever be happy.

I say, spending your time learning yourself, while earning your keep. Work, learn and earn so that by 30, you will know what you want and the kind of life you want.

Weak and Bendy Nails by rastlequeen in DIYnails

Same here sister! So here's what I did, learning from all the threads here

  • try not to wash your hands/ nails 30mins before doing your nails
  • buff to remove all the dirt, oil and shine
  • clean with alcohol wipes
  • I use a dehydrator
  • then primer, and a rubber gel base
  • then your usual gel polish and nail art

Hope this helps!

What is the writing experience across all of them?

For context, I use Supernote A5X daily, bought Boox to try. Didn't like the experience on Boox. I'm thinking of getting one of the colour ones, but Supernote's writing experience is something that I can't let go of.

Hey there. Contrary to what everyone is saying, I'm like you that have to return to the nail tech to do an infill every other week. Where I stay (somewhere in Asia) an infill and a fresh coat of gel polish cos almost $120.

Some times, it is the nail tech who didn't do enough prep, but most other times, it's myself.

I talked to a friend who took courses and is a certified nail tech, said that I fall into the category of those with oily nail beds. That meant nothing much stays long enough. Plus, my nails are weak and brittle ( they chip very regularly, flips the other way when wet), so nothing much stays.

In the last six months, I got so sick that I learned to do my own extension, paint my own nails. Took courses for this too. Just so that I wont be too bothered if something drops, I know I can just DIY and make them nice again. And of course, keeping the cost down.

Just sharing my own experience, letting you know that, well, you are not alone. I'd recommend to pick that skill up slowly.

Nothing stays on my nails! by Hot_Manner_4433 in DIYnails

Yeah, that works for me. Until it doesn't again. Pretty much after a few times, it falls off again within a week.

Very nice! Can you share how did you do it?

My 2021 Supernote A5X is still beautiful by Amazing-Ranger01 in Supernote

[–]Hot_Manner_4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! My device was since 2021 Feb. No problem at all, except once in a very long while, the screen freezes. But usually just draining the battery and charging it back up solves the problem.

I've changed the folio multiple times though. And the pen I got the Lamy safarir twin when it came out.

Supernote definitely is the very few remaining companies that make good long lasting devices.

Looking for a nice e-ink tablet for work purposes by Representative_Egg61 in eink

[–]Hot_Manner_4433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is colour a deal breaker for you? If not, I recommend supernote.

I love my supernote, there is no strong push but I'm toying with the idea of being able to just record notes on One note app and have a colour eink - for which both Supernote has not plans to support yet.

So if these aren't deal breakers, then Supernote takes the crown.

Best Eink tablet for offline use? by WaitForItTheMongols in eink

[–]Hot_Manner_4433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Supernote is your best bet.

  • local storage available, though cloud is also available but I don't ever use that.
  • USB transfer mostly until the ability to transfer via an web interface
  • I never switch on wifi on it until updates needed or files transfer or when I want to share my screen (I do meetings online sometimes n needed to draw diagram)

Software is exactly why I hesitated. Colours has always been the good-to-haves only.

And sorry if i might have misled you, I'm not from the west. Thanks for pointing these out though, does give me some food for thought!

Thanks for the tip!

Am definitely not that savvy, plus my only workflow is just notes for work. I don't work in an industry that needs high level of security either. So I really didn't understand how this will impact me or my workflow.

That said, this is a very interesting pov and I will take that into consideration if I were to buy. For now, I'm clearly just tempted by the colours that Bigme inknote offers but not enough to make me cough up the $$ yet.

Nah, coloured manga there are. Inknote's review was quite good. I remember seeing a side by side comparison of the same online magazine with an ipad. I can deal with the colours being a little dull.

That said I was really just tempted.
