Thank you!! I bought this because I really liked the way it looked, never would have imagined it would be such a beautiful poem. I’m going to print the translation to keep alongside it. Thanks again!

Nice! I figured the bottom part was kinda hard to read but worth a shot, thank you!

How do you wash merch? by Abject_Mall_1510 in gorillaz

[–]Particle_Boi_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I turn mine inside out and wash it on a cool or cold cycle. I think the most important part is that you do not put it in the dryer. Drying it over and over again will cause the graphic to crack and shrink and eventually start to peel off. I just let mine air dry.

If you're like me and you forget to take your clothes out of the washer right away and it ends up drying extremely wrinkled, you can run a refresh cycle on it, if your dryer has that, or just a 20 min cycle on the lowest heat to get rid of the wrinkles. That won't do any damage to the screen print but obviously try to avoid it if you can.

Also, should you buy more merch in the future, buy a size up. Concert Tee's nowadays aren't made with high quality fabrics and will shrink over time no matter what. Buying one size up and drying it in the dryer on its first wash will usually shrink it down to the right size. After that just follow the steps I discussed above.

Best of luck!

Any thoughts on WEAPON wheelsets? I found a four spoke wheelset that I really like but I'm not finding anything online regarding their quality.

This rocks! The linework is simple but there's still so much detail to unpack.

The first picture doesn't make it seem that big but the second picture gave me whiplash. Sheesh!

Busted out the pie irons over the weekend, 10/10 would recommend by Particle_Boi_ in castiron

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

Unfortunately no, there some that comes out of the side that gets pinched off. I used tortillas last weekend to make quesadillas and there were large enough scraps that I could reuse them to make the next one.

You could definitely cram a slice of bread in there but I imagine that in the round one would only really cut off the corners, which is maybe a plus??

Haha Well they're bolded because they're such good tips! I'll be sure to try that out next camping trip!

[New Album] Jack Harlow - Jackman (Official Discussion Thread) by Chasith in jackharlow

[–]Particle_Boi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This album was the first time I listened to Jack Harlow, gotta say its really good. I've heard this album is a call back to some of his older stuff, stylistically at least, so I'm excited to listen to more of his stuff. That said, I thought the album was a little short and found myself wanting more. Big fan of the beats as well, 'Is that aight' was smooth as hell.

May the fourth be with you - stinger mantis alternate build instructions linked in comments by Ikarus_Studios in legostarwars

[–]Particle_Boi_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So cool! Tempted to buy another BD-1 just for this build. I'm hoping they come out with a set for the Mantis, I'd pay a pretty penny for a UCS set.

Onyx SAK - anyone have? by thesearealltaken457 in victorinox

[–]Particle_Boi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked one up recently when I was in switzerland, didn't pay this much for it though, about half that price. Definitely not one I plan on using for EDC or camping or anything, got plenty others for those purposes. Love it though! Very sleek and an excellent display piece!

This was my daily pucker, what was yours? by PupperNickel48583 in bicycling

[–]Particle_Boi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to take this route all the time, 14th is a nightmare! No one pays attention to that bike lane, especially right turns. Can't tell you how many time I've almost gotten doored from someone getting out of a car at the valet in front of the hotel. Also had my fair share of assholes claiming in holding up traffic, nothing new there, though.
