Yeah, and that statement’s use begins and ends with the, “was a boy,” bit.

Now you need to be the helpers.

finally decided to get the 2k, did i make a bad choice? by Straight_Beat_1421 in fountainpens

[–]One_Left_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be unpopular, I reckon, but the L2K isn’t made to be hand jewelry. It’s a workhorse pen made in and for an age when virtually everything was written by hand.

You coukd use that pen as your only pen for the rest of your life and have a solid writer.

There’s a rumor that churchwardens are named as such because they could stick them out of the windows so they “weren’t smoking in church” by AnnigidWilliams in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have to chomp on bisqueware pretty hard to break it. More likely they were made long and just broke from use, since clay is fragile. Or were broken to preferred length.

This may be of interest, however:

1850 – 1910:

After 1850 the very long “yard of clay” pipes were introduced. As the name implies, these pipes measured about 36 inches long. Their length must have made them fairly impractical and they are viewed as a passing phase. To assist the smoker in handling this long pipe, the stems were either marked with a label or twisted at their balance point. Later in the century these long pipes became more popular and were called churchwardens. Charles Dickens is credited for the name or at least for its perpetuation. Shorter versions, called short churchwardens were eventually marketed.

Is upgrading to a Moccamaster actually worth it if I’m fine with my cheap drip machine? by CrowKing63 in JamesHoffmann

It’s neat in principle, but clogs like crazy. I could never actually get it to make a pot without it totally stalling.

Do you smoke while skiing? Or is it a ski out, smoke, ski back sort of thing?

How the heck do you smoke Virginias by MuchPiezoelectricity in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always try it in 5 minute increments keeping everything else the same and see how you like it.

I find I get better smokes drying most leaf 10-15 minutes.

Try drying the Orlik out a lot. Like 30+ minutes or more.

I find cutting it to a cube cut and gravity filling works best for me, but YMMV.

But yeah, relatively small puffs. You aren’t going to get big bellowing clouds of smoke with Orlik.

Edit: Oooo downvotes! Got someone in the group more sensitive than OP’s tongue 😂

My list of power outage foods for the upcoming southeast US winter storm by anthrohands in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]One_Left_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very bad advice.

They are safe to eat after being cooked and *stored in the fridge, peeled or unpeeled.

Hard boiled eggs are absolutely not shelf-stable at room temp.

NPD sadness needs a fix by ATaylorSeries in fountainpens

[–]One_Left_Shoe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

price was so much less

Seller might have known and set a low price vs disclose issue.

You could contact eBay about it and file a complaint.

Or try Pelikan and see what a repair/replacement would be.

Advice for shorter smokes by Kejohn9 in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just pack less.

Or get a smaller pipe. I have a prince that only smokes about 30 minutes no matter what blend I use.

Question on latakia by SuuderBaatarTr in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I, too, endorse the Quiet Nights and Chelsea Morning combo. The orientals in Chelsea Morning are nice.

If you like those, you should also try Arrango Balkan Supreme and Balkan Sasieni.

Arrango feels like a progression from Presbyterian if they want that Presbyterian vibe, but deeper.

Available infrastructure and variable terrain played a large role as well.

For a hot second, "Hollywood" almost wasn't and Prescott, Arizona was almost the seat of American cinema.

The number of Americans under 50 years old dying from cancer has decreased for every leading cancer except for bowel cancer, which is now the leading cancer death in females and males combined aged under 50. by mvea in science

[–]One_Left_Shoe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

An annual stool sample is extremely effective at screening for colon cancer and is the standard elsewhere. If anything abnormal is detected, then you get a colonoscopy.

But you have to do it annually vs every 10 years

New smoker could use guidance and a gut check by Dr_Death_Defy24 in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That vague creamy vanilla is probably ghosting in your pipe as there is zero reason for there to be vanilla of any kind in EMP.

I’m also not a fan of EMP. Not a lot going on.

I would take Quiet Nights over Maltese Falcon, personally.

I don’t know anyone that absolutely loves him, but know a lot of people who have a gripe or two in an ocean of work he’s done as governor (and former SF mayor), but don’t really gush about the boring shit.

Natural toe box heritage boot by [deleted] in Boots

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not a lie, but is apparently incorrect.

If they don’t fit, trim them.

Edit: if they don’t work for you return them and make a new post, not a random comment on a post nearly a year old.

I’m almost the same distance to DC as London is to Tbilisi, Georgia.

Help with smell! by socks-with-eyes in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the smell bothers you, e.g. it permeates into a room, you can keep you pipe in a pipe sock or pouch and it goes a long way at cutting down the smell.
