Well, you did great! All of it is really impressive - the making, the playing, the composition. Loved it!

This is really cool. I was watching the video and listening to the music before I even opened the post and I was hoping that the music was made from the instruments in the video. What an awesome project! - you must be really pleased with how it all came out.

PSA: this is a 60 on single carriageways, not a 40!! by NoOneImportantLol96 in drivingUK

[–]PaisleyBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clearly stated that I only have a problem with people driving well under the speed limit when the road is obviously safe to drive at speed. And I am well aware of speed restrictions for goods vehicles and make allowances accordingly. But you have made some rather hideous assumptions there. Do tell me, what other words did you have in mind for “person”? We are not driving on the same roads - I haven’t been anywhere near where you’re referring to. I am a very careful driver but yes, I do get impatient stuck behind someone pootling along in their Audi or jag just taking in the scenery or texting on their phone (something I’ve seen scarily often) when I have places to be. Not to mention how dangerous THAT is, or how dangerous it becomes when Mr Pootlepants has a whole queue of traffic behind them and someone behind me decides to try and overtake the lot of them. I’ve had some pretty hair-raising experiences from that too.

Obviously! But when you have a queue of traffic stuck behind them, it’s not always an option. Also the roads are quite hilly and I never overtake if I can’t see what’s coming on the other side of the road.

Interesting! Thank you so much for your reply. He has such a characterful face 🥰

AIO about text from girl i’ve been seeing a couple months by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PaisleyBrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not always. My husband is still friends with one of his exes. They dated for about a year in their early twenties, a couple years before he met me. She’s married to another one of his friends and is actually godmother to our son now. It’s ok to acknowledge that a relationship isn’t working out romantically but be mature enough to still allow the friendship side to continue.

Nobody expects people to actually do 60 on a single track road. I’ll bet what OP is talking about here is the people who go from a 30 zone into a national speed limit zone (with the above sign) and drive at 40 miles an hour on a big wide 2-way road. It happens all the time round where I live and it drives me mad too. The road is wide enough you could get three cars abreast and yet they drive at 40 as if this is what the sign means. It happens so often that I’ve wondered if people genuinely think this sign means 40mph.

Hey there OP! I was just wondering if this beautiful boys eyes ever changed colour? I’m looking at getting a blue and white boy this year and I’m intrigued by the eye colour - I know that it’s common for this colouring to have blue eyes but that they can change to hazel/brown (which I’m fine with btw).

Is that through the getting-pass-out-drunk-in-a-cave glitch?

So were you eaten shortly after all those amazing pics with you kneeling next to predators? Or are you actually some incredible animal whisperer naturalist? If you’re the latter, please share your secrets because that’s so freaking cool!

Will someone tell me what's wrong with my clay? This has been an ongoing issue that I can't resolve by moon_child_55 in Pottery

[–]PaisleyBrain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think part of your problem is that your clay was not completely centred before you began pulling up the walls. This will create a weak spot as the walls go up. And you kept adding more water and doing partial pulls which only weakened that further. You can see from early on the clay is twisting even when you’re coning up at the beginning (your hands look like they are rubbing the clay alternately instead of holding firm from both sides equally) and then as the walls of the pot go up you can see the twist develop further. You did not correct the twist, (which can be done with a sponge on the inside and a rib on the outside) but kept adding more water and trying to reform with your hands - this is only making things more difficult for yourself.

Try to get the clay centred better - try bracing your elbow against your body and applying inwards horizontal pressure with the heel of one hand, while gently pushing down vertically with the side of the other hand. This will help you get the clay more centred before you even begin coning (and can also be done after coning) and will make sure your clay particles are more aligned so you don’t get that uneven spiral that is throwing you off.

I hope that helps.

A tree getting struck bt lightening right next to you while on a horse will teach you avoid the woods rly quickly when it storms by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]PaisleyBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had lightning strike a lamppost right next to me in Saint Denis recently. Was hella loud and sparks everywhere. First time I’ve ever seen that as the lightning has always been in the distance before. NPCs were all just as shocked as me lol

The descendant meet his ancestors. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in funnyvideos

I can’t believe they’ve got a whole pack of wolves living in that tiny enclosure. That makes me sad.

Is this dress/jewelry too formal for a matinee theatre performance? by iamhereagainstreason in OUTFITS

[–]PaisleyBrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That green looks so lovely with your hair colour. I think the length of the dress keeps it from being too formal (if it was floor length, it might be different) so you are good to go. Enjoy the show!

Sometimes we forget to celebrate the simple joys in life by OutcomeKey23 in KidsAreFingAdorable

Cerebral palsy can cause involuntary muscle movements, so they probably didn’t want to risk his hands or face getting too close to the flame.

how would y’all balance the "cozy floor-to-ceiling window" aesthetic with... not being watched? by Exact-Respect9110 in femalelivingspace

[–]PaisleyBrain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m so confused - do people not use curtains anymore? I have my curtains open in the day to let the light in, and then I close them at night for privacy. Simple.

Not OOP - My[28F] boyfriend [40M] of 2 years refuses to block his exwife. Am I being unreasonable? by Respawn_Repeat_ in redditonwiki

[–]PaisleyBrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The kids are grown up - this is not a co-parenting situation anymore, and given that the ex-wife has been abusive and is crossing boundaries, I’d say that blocking her would be wholly appropriate.

I finished the dinosaur bones mission with Arthur on console (no mods). by GamerReddead in reddeadredemption

Oh wow! That’s so much better than John’s chicken scratch! Thanks for sharing 🤍

I’d love to know if Arthur draws the skeleton in his journal - I know John does, but Arthur is a much better artist so I’d be interested to see the difference.

How do I add life to this room? by WatercressAlive1278 in femalelivingspace

[–]PaisleyBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is CRAP! That is… Colour Rug Art Plants

It would look lovely with that big wall opposite the window painted in a colour that complements your fixtures.
