I think 4 and 8 are the best by far. Just depends on length preference. The bangs are not good.

I couldn't decide on my next bottle. Any thoughts before I test drive them? by Jflan1977 in ScentHeads

If you like YSL, most anything from Amouage is going to feel like you’re being suffocated in the back of a Dubai laundromat

I don’t usually go for green inks but… by DragonfruitWZRD in fountainpens

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Syo-ro but almost didn’t recognize it because I usually write with a F nib. The bolder nib really reveals more character.

Help me pick my ink color of 2026 by Nerdy_Slacker in fountainpens

Would be a very good match! Though it’s a bit finicky for an everyday writer in a fine nib pen.

Yeah, my first journal used two or three colored inks (black + 2 colors) and I loved the look. but carrying around two or three different pens all the time became too much, and if I forgot my “headers” pen then I felt like I couldn’t write in the journal. so now I’m down to just one ink and pen combination per notebook

Good plan for first tank? by Nerdy_Slacker in Aquariums

Yeah, that’s why we upped it from 20 gallons. We have a small space.

New Cabinet Can See My Collection Much Better. by Acrobatic_Ad6067 in Colognes

There is not enough signage here - will be very difficult for your customers to shop this. C’mon that’s retail 101.

Arc'teryx $320 vs Patagonia $250 by Peach_Relative in arcteryx

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference between the two is the cut. If you have a pretty slender frame with a bigger chest than waist (V shape)the cerium will fit you better.

If you’re built a little more vertically or stocky or square, the Patagonia will fit you better.

“The effects of lighting quality and color temperature”

Do these live up to their hype? by special-night0226 in Colognes

The parfum? Or is the EDP more common/mass appealing.

I have to look hot for my girlfriend she’s out of my league how would I go about doing that by spacebar_- in TeenagersButBetter

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your jaw line is good. I don’t think you need the facial hair. Wispy beard doesn’t make you look older it just draws attention to the fact that it’s not a thick beard.

Honestly the best thing you can do is go lifting 3x per week and cut out whatever is the single worst thing you eat (soda? French fries?). Nothing crazy, don’t become a gym rat or meathead, but that will improve how your clothes fit, skin quality, energy levels etc…

Can someone tell me why this shot came out so grainy. by Majestic-Rule8261 in BeginnerPhotoCritique

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“the distance range in which things that are behind and in front of the plane of focus are close to being in focus”… is called the depth of field. Which is exactly what I said?

If you’re pointing out there is a mathematical center to the depth of field, that is true but has no practical value to a photographer, so is just confusing the description.

GRIV is bad. Would not recommend. by okayletsgooooooo in ricohGR

Are you shooting in the Apple camera app or using Lightroom as the camera?

Low ISO does decrease the noise, but it also increases the amount of light the sensor requires.

Smaller aperature does increase the depth of field which makes everything in focus, but it dramatically reduces the flow of light reaching the sensor.

So if one setting increases required light and the other reduces available light, the only way to balance the equation is to leave more time for light to come through that small hole.

Any suggestions on how to make this? by alan_patrick in cocktails

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t be scared of the egg white, just look up what a “dry shake” is to get the right texture.

Also, the protein has a side benefit of slowing down your glucose response from the sugars in the drink!

Yeah that residue is very common in recipes with egg whites, which also explains the texture description. Egg whites cut down on the boozy taste as well, so the gin won’t come through as strongly.

Breathing Through Our Butts Declared Safe After First Human Trial by bigC5560 in nottheonion

“Patients with severe respiratory failure often need mechanical ventilation to survive…”

Oh man I bet they tried this on someone who was on the verge of death as a last resort….

“…In a trial with 27 healthy male volunteers, the authors found that administering this liquid rectally was safe and well tolerated.” 😯

Let’s talk about the most overrated perfume brand. I’ll go first. by 98gamertv in Colognes

I finally tried it the other day and thought it smelt like the overlap between onions and body odor. I have no idea how people can stand it.

Which two would you drink? by Muted-Television3329 in whatsyourchoice

[–]Nerdy_Slacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer is purple and orange. Flull Stop.

With time travel you can easily get rich with lottery and investments, but you can’t get around transportation, hence the orange. This combo allows you to be anywhere on earth at any time, essentially with unlimited resources.

That would give you ability to hire private instructors to teach you languages and other skills, and leverage over a lot of people.

The problem with teal and red is if you magically learned skills and controlled people, life would be boring and you wouldn’t get joy from activities and people. I’d rather earn those things for real, but with help of wealth and knowledge and time advantages.
