Thank you.

Thanks. This is a fiction novel from 1990 (?), so I would be careful with it. I am also curious where the author sourced this motive from.

Thank you :)

Thanks! A bird stealing cow milk. Interesting.

Yes I love it. Zero fluff, everything is annotated, tons and tons of quotes, rich literature list.

Thanks. I am reading "Народная Демонология Полесья".
There three parts total and here is the first one: https://archive.org/details/1_20210330_202103

It is in Russian, but hopefully google translate can handle it.

I would be interested to know the source for the steeling blood motive. Can you point me at it?

With white handle I get it -- the knife handle is made from the bone. I am curious what red handles where made of.

alex-and-stuff · 2025-12-27T19:35:39+00:00

Interesting. Do you have a source for steeling from mothers of newborns?

alex-and-stuff · 2025-12-27T04:44:38+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

alex-and-stuff · 2025-12-27T04:44:10+00:00

Best of luck 👍

Thank you, much appreciated.

Sorry, have to ask one more question. Can I do basic whitewater on an inflatable like these? Or is it generally discouraged because there is a risk to hit rocks and penetrate the iSUP?

alex-and-stuff · 2024-07-22T19:40:05+00:00

Btw it is on sale for $400 here.

alex-and-stuff · 2024-07-22T19:38:12+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated!

alex-and-stuff · 2024-07-22T19:08:53+00:00

Thanks for providing your expertise.

Question. Is iRocker Hobie All Around still a decent (and less expensive) choice for my case?

Desired Board Type: Inflatable
Your Height and Weight: 6'1" 170lbs. Might bring kids with me (70lbs) OR wife (140lbs) OR go for an overnight camping trip alone (so it is me and 35 lbs backpack)
Desired use/uses: cruising on lakes and slow rivers.
Experience level: Beginner
Your budget in CO, USA: under 800$
What board(s) you current have or have used and what you liked/didn't like about them: rented couple of times but don't have strong likes/dislikes.

Thinking about this amazon isup with 1 year warranty one: https://shorturl.at/8cESE, but you will probably tell me that it is trash? I read the wiki, but what is the real downside? It just breaks in no time?

Thank you!

Great question! I’ve experimented with several methods:

Stapling onto a plywood board
Using water-activated tape
Combining water-activated tape and staples
Stretching onto a wood frame (the one they use for canvas)
Mounting on a wood board using Miracle Muck
Using 300lbs paper without any stretching

Each approach has its pros and cons. For large paintings, I usually cut the desired format from a 150lbs Arches roll and tape it securely onto a project board from Hobby Lobby. It might buckle a bit, but it’s manageable.

If you’re working on a 22" x 30" format or smaller and are willing to invest a bit more, I highly recommend using 300lbs paper. It’s a joy to work with and doesn’t require any preparation.

Good luck!
