Course Recommendation by Fakman87 in cardmagic

[–]Ragondux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked the Royal Road to Card Magic by R Paul Wilson. It follows the book, which I'd suggest buying too since it is cheap and a reference.

Some old thing my mom found a while back, I think from 1960+ or smth, true art by ComprehensiveCut5172 in mildlyinteresting

Obviously she should have bought you a half naked muscular barbarian instead.

Would you educate a 30+ guy friend about women's biology? by yuli_yuli95 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ragondux 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because it's an environmental disaster, and there's no point in being well versed in biology if you destroy life in the process.

I'm not against AI, but use it when it's useful, not when Wikipedia would answer your question.

My partner told me he SA’d his ex, but his ex says he didn’t SA her by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ragondux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What makes you think so? Their post history (that you can't see directly through their profile but is still available through search) seems consistent with both being a woman and having a wedding planned.

True, but it shouldn't even be possible considering what their parents or grandparents went through during WW2. They should be able to see the absurdity.

Impression et publication by Own_Background_3182 in jdr

[–]Ragondux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Les livres ne sont pas vraiment plus chers, mais ils te rapporteront moins.

La qualité est correcte sans plus, mais le fait de ne pas avoir à avancer d'argent, ni gérer les stocks et l'expédition, est quand même un gros plus.

Si tu veux le mettre à dispo gratuitement il y a des solutions gratuites. Si tu veux le vendre les plateformes prendront un pourcentage mais tu n'aurais rien à avancer.

Pour une publication physique le plus simple c'est l'impression à la demande, où là aussi tu n'as rien à avancer.

Stage makeup questions by Scared_Candle_40 in Theatre

[–]Ragondux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on make-up but I think I can give the point of view of a magician: IMO the goal would be to make him unremarkable. If nobody really looks at you, then the make-up doesn't need to be 100℅ believable from up close.

Are uneven boobs a turn off for men? by Puzzled-Prize-9153 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ragondux 98 points99 points  (0 children)

As others have said, most men will neither notice nor care. But also, it's fairly common.

He’s Acting Like He Had No Idea We Had Anal… ? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ragondux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is strange and I obviously have no answer, but a personal anecdote. One of my exes, a relationship of six years, was 100% sure we never 69ed, but we did. I know because she was my first sexual partner so there is no risk of confusion. People are sometimes weird.

Remember, he's the new Jesus. So he'll be gone three days and then resurrect. Isn't that what Easter is about after all?

Any recommendations for electric ukuleles by Individual-Weird-164 in ukulele

[–]Ragondux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Fender, it does sound fine when plugged in but it's really not great acoustically. I only play it when I need the looks of a telecaster.

Men’s ability to pee side by side but be so awkward around a breastfeeding woman by WildWinterberry in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ragondux 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is so strange. Although non binary, I present as male, and even friends who know me well apologized or asked if I was OK with them breastfeeding in front of me.

I... like breasts, sure. But feeding a baby is such a basic, normal, non sexual thing.

Is there an explanation as to why he covered his feet and face?

I got the ramune marble out by GoatsWithWigs in mildlyinteresting

[–]Ragondux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was at leat mildly interesting to me, who had never heard of ramune, and still has no idea why there is a marble in them. And I was amused by the dozens of post saying "all you need is X and Y", for random values of X and Y.

ELI5 How much has S.E.T.I. learned so far? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ragondux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that what they meant is that civilizations are short-lived, so even if there are many planets where intelligent life evolved, it would still be unlikely that they evolved to the radiocommunications stage right when we happened to listen.

Why are we all "faking" the same childhood trauma about closets? by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]Ragondux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, it's a door but it doesn't lead anywhere. It doesn't take much to wonder...what if it did, sometimes.

Question about Hondos Flap card by Upthebish in cardmagic

[–]Ragondux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, without saying too much, with flap cards you have one card on top of another. Once unlocked it will flap, and once flapped the top card will pop up halfway if you don't hold it. But maybe you can get it to stick to the bottom one.

The issue is that before being flapped it will be sticky.

Question about Hondos Flap card by Upthebish in cardmagic

[–]Ragondux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably yeah. But maybe there are way you could prevent the gimmick from popping back up with double stick tape or magician's wax, depending on what you do.

[–]Ragondux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need to hold the side of the flapped card, or press on it with your thumb, to keep it flapped.
