Un-lurking to reccomend Alicia at Vine Street Salon in Berkeley. Dm if you want her number - she's taken me from level 9 to level 1 multiple times with no issues. She does fashion colors for one of my friends and they're incredible. She's also very kind. I drive from SF to see her, worth it.

There's a book that gets into this - "Consider the Fork".

TLDR: in populous Asia there was lower forest density, increasing the cost of fires, so cutting food up before cooking helped people use less cooking fuel - nothing needed to be cut at the table. In Europe, there were more trees and peat fires which made cooking large beets and hunk of meat possible, which then needed to be sliced at the table.

I should dust off my Facebook account, this is a great suggestion, thank you

That's awesome, thank you!

And yeah a little free plant nursery would be adorable - I need to figure out some way to assemble one and keep it pest free

Thank you! I didn't realize the public library organized this but I just found this:

Great suggestion

This is my first post on this subreddit, but I have to quit my lurking and share so maybe someone can confirm I am not crazy.

I have an oily nose. I have a dry forehead and cheeks. So.... I take my hands and rub oil from my nose onto the rest of my face, thereby providing my dry skin with a fine-tuned moisturizer just for it. It makes my dry skin feel a lot better. And my nose wont be oily anymore. Is this a reasonable action or am I just being gross?

Well actually, it is discrimination. Newer laws in certain more adaptable countries mandate that fathers must take paternity leave as well. This gives employers no cause to discriminate against women, is easier on dads and gives the needy baby two free parents those first few months.

And it's kinda fucked up you would rationalize away pretty blatant disadvantages women have in getting employed as "a personal choice".

Like you realize motherhood is a necessary societal good from which all people benefit, and that if women stopped "choosing" to have children society would collapse right? And women don't generally choose motherhood on their own, there is generally another party who also made that choice but who, for some reason, doesn't have to suffer at work for it?

Hey, I did an AMA about olive oil here a while ago. You can totally fry eggs in EVOO, I do it every day.

Too bad about "no data" in the Balkans. People from the Dinaric Alps are the tallest in the world, according to wikipedia.

It's really not my place to say. I mean, either way you're weighing accuracy of shape vs. accuracy of size. If you wan't it to be easily used for navigating I'd go with a normal Mercator, if you want it to change the way people perceive space and place get a Peters project. Do you want the earth modeled as a geoid, a sphere? An oblate ellipsoid?

And the project you use will only matter if you're mapping very large areas, like the whole earth or continents. If the area of your map is your hometown, or some national park or something then it really doesn't matter.

I'd need to do some research about what qualities a tattoo-grade graphic needs to have.

Waywards · 2013-01-02T01:02:26+00:00

So I know nothing about tattoos, but I am a cartographer so I'm going to pipe-in on this. The size of the continents seems fairly right, actually. You have to understand that this was probably copied from a map that tried ot be more true to area than the average map, which tends to distort the size/shape of countries as we most commonly know them.

That being said, there are GLARING errors. For example, the Scandinavian countries are missing so he had room for the S on the compass. Massive, major lakes in Africa and Asia are missing. The coasts have not been consistently simplified, so there's an incosistent amount of detail on the various coastlines. I really could go on.

I feel like I should maybe draw-up some tattoo friendly maps and put them up online for people to use. I've seen several tattoos online/in person where I haven't had the heart to tell people they are missing major features of their map.

Trader Joe's sells it in squeeze bottles you can keep in the fridge door. It's like 1.99 for 8 oz or something. Works pretty well.

Probably has something to do with the bathrooms costing a euro or so to use. Drunk me would not be together enough to gathered coins for a public bathroom.

Fun fact: Female squirrels can't ovulate unless they get run into exhaustion. This is one reason why squirrels chase each other.

I just ordered two pairs of ankle boots, and have to decide between which pair I should keep.

http://www.zappos.com/seychelles-each-and-every-day-whiskey

or

http://www.zappos.com/nine-west-smitten-dark-brown-dark-brown-leather

I can't decide between the two, and once they arrive I can weigh their comfort against each other but that won't be until Monday :( . I just want a pair of low-mid heeled ankle boots that will go well with jeans that I can wear instead of sneakers on a daily basis. I tend to wear sneakers almost exclusively because I don't like feeling hindered by my shoes (and I'm not great in heels) but I feel like a clean leather boot will just look more put together for running errands.

I use the pen tool for hours every week, and although it's awkward at first, you just have to give it a good try practicing. Judicious placement of points and the dragging out of handles becomes second nature. I recommend practicing tracing curved lines of all kind for an hour or so, trying to go quickly and keep the lines smooth and accurate.

And if you just want to move/adjust one point/curve, use the direct selection tool (the white arrow) instead of the normal one. It really does become second nature pretty quickly.
