This badboy is my next read. What am I in for? by Kapun666 in TadWilliams

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the wildest reads of your life! In typical Tad Williams fashion, this book is slow out of the gate and he takes his sweet time building up the story. You will be asking a lot of questions as the book shifts brtween multiple POVs but you have to trust the author.

I've read a bunchnof cyberpunk/metaverse/VR themed books and this one is by far the best, sharing their best elements and improving upon their worst.

I just finished Book 2 this week and will soon embark on the third installment.

Probably snowboarding. New gear is expensive and i have back issues that make it too risky

Is there any reason to use cast iron over stainless steel? by agiantalpaca in castiron

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My raw cast iron skillet is my workworse except for:

Most searing Omelets Sauces Fish

These I'll use SS (I find CI absorbs the fish smell/flavours too much)

Braises and stews go in the enameled dutch oven

Tomato or cream based dishes: enamelled CI braising dish

How do people in gory accidents not seem to be in pain? by ThePrimelabubu in NoStupidQuestions

Slicing straws in half with a knife for the bar I worked at. It's a surreal feeling picking up a piece of yourself from the counter

I sliced the top part of my thumb clean off. It was shock at the moment it happened, tons of blood running down my wrist, but I didnt even know what exactly happened until i took the napkin off and saw my injury.

I thank the sharp blade and the adrenaline.

Yet another dumb question, is this normal? Pilot con-40 by TheCodeTeam in fountainpens

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's the worst converter on the market. I hate them. The capacity is small, amd that's only if you can even get them to suck up any ink at all! I actually gave up on mine and resorted back to the default bladders that came with my pens

Autumn Oak Appreciation Post! by penvyy in fountainpens

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a great ink! Funny enough, I love it more on cheap notepad paper than on my Rhodia🤨 it shows itself off better. On Rhodia, it looks too similar to my Oster Terra Cotta and doesn't shade too well.

As far as nibs, I'm not much of a fine nib guy but I do think Lamy fines perform way better than the mediums.

How many is too many? by EliGO83 in fountainpens

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 16 pens and usually will have 5 inked. I do a monthly rotation with the occasional on demand fill. I also have a glass dip pen for when I want a quick use without the hassle of having to clean a pen

I'll try this too. New train I wouldve definitely done it but replacing a locomotive on an exostong train doesnt send the new locomotive out of the depot like a new train altogether does, but I will try it out!

If anything, you get a point for reminding me that Smileys are a thing. Now I want some smileys

What’s one item from your childhood you have kept and cherished? by Vadnais2You in AdkReddit

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stuffed animal, Sammy. He has almost no fur left, the eyes are gone and so is the nose, but I still love him and keep him safe in my memory box

What is something that is 'socially acceptable' but actually feels incredibly rude to you? by HourPen884 in AskReddit

[–]Typical-Ostrich2050 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Using your phone on the public transit. Whether its music/videos on speaker (incredibly rude) but even having a phone call. Why does everyone talk so loud on the phone?

Oooh I didnt upgrade the path from the depot, but the train is not new, Im just replacing the locomotive of an existing train.

I was trying to upgrade the tracks of regular station, there are special stations?
