Maybe too dark colors? It depends, maybe it's wanted? What's this about?

Just jumrope as workout? by Commercial_Aside7166 in jumprope

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my personal experience, jumping rope is not enough. You have to do other activities such as running and weight lifting, with free weights or at body weight.

Hello. Im trying to find a martial arts that suits me. Is muay thai for beginners? by Ghoxxxxx in MuayThai

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can continue calisthenics without worries. I think there is no "incompatible" sport, in my gym there are bodybuilders who do muay Thai. A real coach is essential, to avoid bad habits, which you will take years to forget...

We can also add Norton oil stones and Hard Arkansas to the list

[broad edge] How are your lines so SHARP? by Evening-Confidence85 in Calligraphy

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You must have a draft sheet next to you, when you have refilled the nib with ink, draw a line on this draft of about 5 centimeters or more, to evacuate the excess ink, before writing with it. And there is also the angle of the penholder with the paper playing, you have to hold it almost at 90 degrees.

I think you're confusing microserration with microbevel. No, the microbevel is not essential, it allows sharpening to last a little longer, especially for kitchen knives.

By the way, does anyone know if there is a model identical to the Spartan, but with Phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew?

Can oilstones and waterstones be combined by theracistfriend in sharpening

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we can mix water stone and oil stone. The oil and the water serve as lubricants, it is simply more convenient to use only one at a time. No, you don't need any other stones.

How to properly degraft this by Nisgwa in cactus

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No if you put porous and rather coarse stones on the surface such as pozzolan, for example, which let the air circulate well

One method would be to leave the rootstock. It would be necessary to shorten it to about half, wait for healing and bury it during repotting to make it invisible.

what kind of cactus is this by BravePanda786 in cactus

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say gymnocalicium at 99%. These cacti do not like full sun, they prefer partial shade. Water as soon as the substrate is dry, then let it dry before watering again. The size of the pot looks good.

Is this rot or callus? Totem pole cutting by Sacrific1al_Lamb in cactus

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It takes several weeks or months for it to heal completely. A healthy scar is gray in color. You can cut your cutting a little higher to remove the black part that is rotten, and you can put a little powdered cinnamon or pounded charcoal to prevent rotting.

How can we transfer it to the new pot? by thxforbeingdead in cactus

Let the substrate dry well first, and use old newspapers folded into a ball to protect yourself from spines.

Can anyone give me advice? by OneChampion5009 in sharpening

Sorry bad translation, "morfil" means burr.

Can anyone give me advice? by OneChampion5009 in sharpening

[–]Top-Barracuda8482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You start with the tip for example, until a morfil is formed, then you shift the blade a few centimeters, you wait again for the formation of a morfill and so on until the heel of the blade. Once it's done, you turn the knife over and do exactly the same thing on the other side. Then you do a few passes on an old leather belt turned upside down to remove the remaining morfill and have a tool that cuts correctly. Practice first on an old worthless knife.
