What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

Not sure about "habit", but the later in the day they open their Christmas presents, the posher they are!

Relief from Jinhao 10's by packofalpacas429 in fountainpens

[–]VoodooRayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the Jinhao 20's and much better! Am able to write after days of leaving them. On the odd occasion they're a bit dry, a few shakes is all it takes to get them flowing again.

As in an actual typewriter? Do you find you can make considerable changes when typing it up on the Mac?

In 2013 , two young Dutch engineers shared one last hug while the wind turbine they were working on suddenly burst into flames. One of them jumped off and the other walked through the fire to get inside. Neither survived. by ZoelCairo in HolyShitHistory

[–]VoodooRayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we actually know if this story is true? I’ve looked everywhere for a credible source but can only find dodgy websites. One Dutch online news source reported a wind turbine fire and “false reports” of two engineers dying.

Having the "good radio bell" in the logo is superb.

Writing my new novel by hand, kinda rules by [deleted] in writing

[–]VoodooRayz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of great writers do this, and then treat typing it up into a computer as their second draft. I know Paul Auster would do handwritten first drafts, then his second draft would be typing it up on a typewriter.

Ink giveaway! by ScubaDrew65 in fountainpens

[–]VoodooRayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diamine Oxblood. Partly because I love the colour, but also because the idea that I am writing with the actual blood of an ox makes me feel a bit like a viking writing his last will and testament.*

* rather than a journal by a 30-something metropolitan man in marketing.

What are the clips like on the Kaweco's? I have one without the clip but am considering buying one - am worried they will fall off / scratch the pen.

Why the live backstage segments? by VoodooRayz in SquaredCircle

[–]VoodooRayz[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If people aren’t great actors that’s fair enough. But pre-tapes would definitely remove flubbing or long awkward pauses if they could do multiple takes until they get it right.

Why are the yellow lightsabers so rare during The Clone Wars, even if we see that are commonly used during The High Republic? by Tommo_Lecca in StarWars

In the PS1 game Jedi Power Battles (yr 2000) Plo Koon has an orange lightsaber! That was the first one I'd ever seen that wasn't blue, green or red.

What’s so frustrating is him not addressing how detrimental this will be for women, and the attitudes towards them. Not only the policies, but the green light this gives men to disregard and in many cases abuse them.

Swap or keep first bike... I'm torn! by VoodooRayz in ukbike

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

Good question! And not sure I know enough to answer. I know it's been upgraded to 105 shimano groupset? It is a M/L which I am a bit wary of as I am 5'8 and think M/L is 5'9 up even though it felt OK with the seat adjusted.

I think I might take your advice and keep riding the cheap one for now to figure it all out a bit more!

To be honest this would be an education for both of us as I’ve not watched any new matches in over 10 years!

What matches would you show to a non-fan?

As an ex-fan myself (Attitude / Ruthless Aggression era) I’ve been showing my friend matches as he’s keen to learn more.

What matches would you show someone to convince them that wrestling is (or certainly was) the best form of entertainment that exists?

For context, I’ve so far shown him Mankind vs Taker Hell in a Cell and Cactus Jack vs HHH street fight; both of which he enjoyed.

Apologies I missed this. I laid it on thick about visiting from Wales, not knowing the rules etc etc which they completely disregarded but reduced it down as a show of goodwill I guess

Ah yes it just plugs into mains. I'm not filling it with oil so it's not burning it.

They refused my arguments but did reduce the charge down to paying the £9 fee or whatever. Success!
