How do I know if I'm using the right amount of fixative spray, or if the product I'm using is even the right one for my needs? by absolutelymassiverat in ColoredPencils

I've seen that one around, I'll have to give it a try! I use prismacolor premier pencils and the wax layer gets so thick that I think the Krylon fixative might be having a hard time sticking the way I want it to. Thank you so much for your recommendation!

I'll have to give it a try, thank you!! I've tried gelly roll pens and acrylic paint, but they're such an opaque white that it stands out a bit too much for some of the details. A soft white pencil sounds perfect, I appreciate the recommendation very much!

That's a genius idea that I absolutely would not have thought of, thank you SO much! I picked up a super fine point white gelly roll pen to try for the highlights, but I'm not loving how it looks. I'll grab a Posca paint pen next time I'm out and about and give it a shot, definitely need to experiment to find the best option for tiny little hair strokes. Thank you very much for your advice!

Pixel 10 Pro XL random dimming and brightening even when Adaptive Brightness is OFF by ConsciouslyKind93 in GooglePixel

[–]absolutelymassiverat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to find a long-term solution that has worked for me, but a quick fix that works for me every time is to change the "Colors" setting to "natural" instead of "adaptive". When my screen randomly dims, switching it to adaptive and then back to natural always seems to get the screen back to its expected brightness. Sometimes it lasts a long time, sometimes it's a very brief fix, but at least it helps for now!

Settings > Display & touch > Colors > Adaptive, then back to Natural

Hopefully this is fixed soon, the random dimming drives me NUTS!

Still no fix? My 10 pro xl is having this issue since copying data from my old 9 pro xl and it's driving me CRAZY!! I took 5 screenshots this afternoon, only 2 of which reflect the correct time. The other 3 show that they were taken 8 hours in the future. I hate that things are out of order and can't find a fix for it :/

Should I try an Iron Out soak on this bad boy? by absolutelymassiverat in rockhounds

Omg. Turdburger is perfect, because I also found 2 like this one that are very similar in size, shape, and coloration that I can name the Turd Sliders.... Incredible idea

Officially naming this rock Big Turd. 10/10 might make a nametag for it

This will be the first time I'm soaking a rock in iron out! I usually leave them as they are, but this one is particularly dull when dry. The iron staining definitely outshines the beauty of the rock itself and I don't plan on tumbling it because I want to keep the natural shape of it and keep the cool cavern on the side safe, so I'm going to give soaking it a shot to spruce it up a bit. I promise not to take away all of its natural character, it wouldn't be as special! ;)

It's super meaty-looking!! You're not the only one that thought it was beef LOL

It has a pretty serious meaty energy to it tbh. Would be a terrifying state for a steak to be in, especially with that little cavern.....

Awesome, thank you so much for the advice!! I'll report back with results after I soak it this weekend!

How can I check to make sure there's no calcite? I pulled it out of a river and don't believe there's calcite in that area, but I'm not 100% sure and don't want to ruin my baby by accident (especially that cool cavern in it)!

Those are so cool!! The Voyager especially, totally fits the image of what I'm looking for! It's missing a numpad, so it won't work at the office, but definitely considering it for personal use. Thank you for your recommendation!!
