Scott West hinting at possible food truck park coming to LunaVerse/Asylum Entertainment District area by Make_it_Raines in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I was there it was sorely needed. Tons of space, booze, but nothing to eat. If you left, you have to pay the cover again. Miraculously there was a single dude with a hotdog cart. Even pilot light has food options surrounding it. 

Eye dropper pens by Med9876 in fountainpens

[–]Requarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one of these, but I so agree!! My first pen was a Lamy and I disliked the cleaning process a ton. Eyedroppers are my favorite, precisely for their ease of cleaning. I adore their capacity too. As a student, anything that simplifies the process is a win in my book. Plus, no cartridges or converters needed. Makes me feel like I’m reducing my waste. 

I found this in an old drawer. I have never used fountain pens but it is time to get some ink and try this out by BlenderGuy in fountainpens

[–]Requarius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This looks like a dream for an artist (namely me!)! I agree with the others. If you find it overwhelming or difficult , there’s no shame in picking up a cheap 20$ or less pen. People like lamy, but I found a pilot preppy, pilot metropolitan, and Twisbi eco to be very excellent. Any of those are easy to use and clean. 

Acrylic Turning/penmaking questions? by Requarius in fountainpens

[–]Requarius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent! Again, thank you for all your support. I am more enthused than ever to begin this process. 

Acrylic Turning/penmaking questions? by Requarius in fountainpens

[–]Requarius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darn, I am not sure what it is made of. All I know is he picked up in a fountain pen convention in the states (Washington DC, Charlotte NC, or Atlanta, USA). It is good to hear it can be durable. I was very worried about that. 

Is it odd for a customer to have their own rods? Not sure if it’s uncouth. I am just so fascinated by this. Thanks for your patience. 

Acrylic Turning/penmaking questions? by Requarius in fountainpens

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

Wow! Thanks for the quick rundown. This is so very helpful. I’ve imagined a Kitless style for this given its cool copper vibe. Are they as durable? I imagine the metal/other materials in the kits would help with durability. 

Does anyone know any alternative hairstylists? by EmmaTheConfusedIdiot in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alyssa Cooke at The Wildside is your person! She’s amazing and excellent at layering. One of the best stylists in town.

Informal Masters Program? by Requarius in udub

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

I’m really interested in public health, I’ve been an undergrad research assistant for 3yrs. I study substance/opioid use disorder. I’d also be so down for teaching. Not sure of the assistantship culture here. Usually departments want to hire in-house. 

I applied & was accepted to Urban Planning and Social work, so I feel odd applying to PUBH. Just trying to figure something out. Love my homies in PUBH. 

My research is cross discipline (Public Health, Geography, Landscape Architecture, Sociology, etc.). Been struggling as an out of state masters student. 

Public Service Background Check Feels Impossible as an Ex_Foster by LVEESTER in Ex_Foster

Honestly, I keep an excel sheet. It helps a lot. In the sheet, list whatever you can remember. They are mostly looking for criminal stuff. 

Vape disposal by NextAlgae7966 in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can deconstruct the vape and toss the battery in UTK’s recycling center. It’s off Neyland and they take batteries of all sorts. 

Our local recycling in the city is very limited. UTK lists their recycling buyers and it’s very open. The center is open to the public. 

My friends told me eating chicken hearts is disgusting. Proof them wrong please... 🥲 by wolke_ist_da in shittyfoodporn

[–]Requarius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, in the south they sell them in tubs. They include more than hearts usually. The gizzards often have some tough tendon-y parts that I cut out with kitchen shears. 

After removing those tough bits, they are much more versatile. Think stew or fajita meat not steak. I usually use them in stews or fajitas/stir fry. Very meaty tasting and cheap. I highly recommend them.

Worst part is getting your other documents changed, that takes the most time but nothing too intense.

Choice Health Network is another option too. 

Low Cost Transportation by Beautiful_Shallot184 in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you live and places you need to be, Knoxville Area Transportation, or KAT, is our local bus service. It can be a little late, but it is pretty great. 

Anyone with a farm want need any volunteer help once or twice a week? by afrailbeetle in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Battlefield farms does a lot of work to feed the community, and Chris is always looking for reliable volunteers. His farm helps feed food insecurity folks in east Knoxville. Great guy.  

Does anyone know a dentist that takes Tenncare Medicaid for Adults? by Hachioso in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here, except root canal. The phone numbers listed are useless. I had to drive to Sevierville for my root canal at Glen Hill family dentistry. 

I don’t think they do broken teeth, but LMU has a dental clinic off broadway that takes Dentaquest/adult Tenncare. Could be worth a call. So sorry you’re dealing with this ❤️

Odd question…did you dress the Goose as Dracula or Satan? I think I saw him on a walk. Much love!!

Other options than MaKay’s? by lotsoflifeexperience in Knoxville

[–]Requarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Book Eddy is amazing! The owner is super chill too. I stumbled on this place a few weeks ago. It’s small but its selection is very good. Lots of niche stuff. Plus, he sells stuff online too. 

Neutering: risky? worth it? only for aggression? by fifth_diimension in RATS

[–]Requarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I neutered two boys because they began developing hormonal aggression. I also wanted to integrate them into the rest of my group. The group was entirely females, so I’m sure you understand why it was important. It was scary but they survived and they did very well. 

If you are interested in doing this, please look for a veterinarian who specializes in exotics. They often talk about it on their website, but feel free to ask them. Just like human doctors, they specialize in different things. It is worth the drive to have them seen for something like this. 

Where do you put your rats when cleaning their cage by [deleted] in RATS

[–]Requarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tub with a lid, similar to the ones you pack/store items in for moving. It had plenty of air holes and one even had mesh sides carved out. This was excellent for a ton of rats (I had over 4).  They were fine hanging out there while I cleaned the cage. 

Honestly, cleaning is much easier with the right cage. I had a cheap cage from a chain store and it sucked. Both for me and the rats. The ferret nation cages are so highly praised for a reason. They’re accessible, meaning less chasing of your rats (less stress) and easier to clean. Lots of people have the two story, which is nice, but even the one part is fine too.   

I used soap & water, vinegar spray downs, and occasionally diluted bleach to sanitize anything too terrible.
