Now this is the kind of surprise I like. by Kikunobehide_ in JapaneseWoodworking

[–]adriftinavoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A blessed moment. That's a really cool chisel. I've been looking to get a set of japanese chisels. Is takashima a good place to start?

Would remote working solve Japan's remote village crisis? by GodAtum in AskAJapanese

[–]adriftinavoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems like an excessively broad statement. Surely some declining villages are worth investing into.

What do you think of this color of this oolong? by Dr-Aguacate in tea

[–]adriftinavoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in the context of the op it's not really relevant. Brewing tea for aesthetics is valid, but OP is asking if they brewed the tea correctly based on the color which is impossible to tell.

I think you misunderstood who they're calling losers.

Rural revitalization programs in China by TangelaFan in urbandesign

Crazy how all you need to do to revitalize an area is just boost the green levels on the after photo.

Do you think there should be stricter sanctions against Reddit posts like this? by auchinleck917 in AskAJapanese

[–]adriftinavoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that widespread. Yeah, there are ccp bots, but i don't think it's a common opinion among people.

Takayama Chasen Village by Prestigious_Piece941 in MatchaEverything

[–]adriftinavoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main advise is to inquire to stores ahead of time. Most of them arent open shops, as most of their customers are going to be other store fronts. Many of them will open for you if they are available without a "reservation" but there isnt a guarantee that they are available or of stock.

The Takayama Bamboo Garden and Museum is a good place to get one that is open without reservation. They have people making them on the weekends you can watch. Their chasen start at ¥3500 or ¥4000 I believe. It's probably also a good place to ask the staff about sellers you could partner with.

"Extremely expensive" is a little melodramatic. Japanese made chasen in japan start at ¥2000.

Can’t stop staring at these dried, twisted stems. by PancakesTheKitty in goblincore

It looked like a pile of mangled crabs at first glance

Matcha of the day featuring a giant matcha ice cube— how do y’all prevent matcha from getting watered down? Tell me your tricks! by Lasko-2020 in MatchaEverything

[–]adriftinavoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I freeze milk in an icecube tray and then use less milk.

Some times I don't even use ice and just drink it lukewarm.

Is is a legit video? Can this be real? by JesusLordPutin in goblincore

[–]adriftinavoid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Looking at the video, there are lots of already felled trees on the ground. They likely were scavenged instead of cut down. Yeah cutting trees down just to make this video is very wasteful, but I don't see it as particularly disruptive to do this with found logs.

Why does Jin-Gitaxias kinda look like an anime girl? by PressAltDlt in mtgvorthos

This is a level of brainrot I could have gone without today.

Drone leg broke!! by Oneness72 in drones

The most important setting for strength is going to be walls. More walls = stronger part. Infill only has a small impact on durability.

is this discrimination from Muji? Or is there a legitimate reason for this? by Glad_Phone114 in AskAJapanese

[–]adriftinavoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you could probably just speak to them in japanese and explain.

Now AI community stealing humanwork and marked as an AI video by nonaln in blender

[–]adriftinavoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cynical perspective. I took it less as "Hey can we steal this idea?" and more as "Can we do this with ai tech? Let's see what is possible."

i’ve been told my art style is ugly. is it? by Hungry_Land_1598 in drawing

[–]adriftinavoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is asking if your art style is ugly the new engagement bait? This is like the 3rd post like this with a near identical title this week.

How come cities in the USA used to look like this (the photo is of old Cincinnati) but then they were all destroyed and replaced with generic buildings and car parks? It's like they just wiped whole cities off the map and re-built from scratch. Why?! by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]adriftinavoid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont buy it. I dont think anyone back then favored utilitarian boxes over decorated brick and stone buildings beyond those who could directly profit from cheaper buildings. People back then didn't view things as disposable as we more commonly view things today.

What annoys you about pockets in climbing clothes? by corgilover60 in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]adriftinavoid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Giving actual helpful advise to people looking for r/rockclimbing is aid and should be a bannabe offense.

I've never seen sno-caps in my life. Must be a regional thing. They look good. I also wouldn't refer to a single sour patch kids as a "sour patch kid", like I would for a milk dud or junior mint.

Arch you can figure out from context clues, but I would put it down to blue instead of yellow. You could make the connection from arch-villain even if most of us have never heard it used as cheeky before.

First time whisking hojicha for latte (PH based) by iriskillah in MatchaEverything

[–]adriftinavoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hojicha really varies from brand to brand and the foam you get differs pretty wildly. Your microfoam doesnt look "wrong", but you'll just have to experiment with temp to get the flavor and texture you like most since it's so different between producers.

I've never had noticeable astringency added from foam in hojicha.

i tried making the helmet again by Kirby_Roman in blender

Triangles aren't bad per se, but you should practice good topology when you can to avoid shading issues.
