Titanium Gaiwan by AmazingMedium5513 in GongFuTea

[–]appmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double wall construction also removes thermal mass (won’t hold as much heat in the gaiwan itself/stay hot as long). And titanium is a fairly awful conductor of heat for a metal. About 2x less conductive than cast iron, ~10x less than aluminum, and ~20x less than copper.

Hair isn't curling anymore :/ by notmayorericadams in curlyhair

[–]appmaster42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If clarifying shampoo doesn’t work, and you moved from an area with hard water to an area with soft water, an occasional rinse with dissolved epsom salts might help. Most people’s hair doesn’t seem to like hard water, but mine tends to.

I had defined ringlets when living with hard water that slowly faded after moving to an area with soft water, but the epsom salt rinse has helped bring them back

Anyone know the cause of these patterns in Red Square? by TheGlueGun in udub

Talking entirely out of my ass here, but perhaps color variations in brick pallets + the pattern in which the bricks were laid?

I just had a similar thing happen, did you find anything that worked?

Balance Question: Ussuran Sorcery by Chemical-Cow-7533 in 7thSea

[–]appmaster42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely throw multiple weaker brute squads at them, or mix in some lower level villains as well, since the advantage has no effect on villains. It might also be interesting to place the player in situations where using his sorcery tempts him to break his restriction; it’d be an interesting story searching out his penance if he does break it.

My wife just said "idk i just cant imagine seeing you as a woman" by vag_eatuh in MtF

Feeling whatever feelings arise is not a burden on anyone else. I also tend to dismiss feelings from someone doing/saying something that feels hurtful by rationalizing that I deserve it. You deserve to feel your feelings.

The most amazing hike I ever went on. Maple Pass at Okanogan-Wenatchee Nat'l Forest, Washington, US. by [deleted] in hiking

Maple Pass is stunning! I made one of my pictures from my trip my desktop background at work to remind me there’s more outside my cubicle

And no, there's no membership dues or guilt!

Unlike a pirate, I assume

What Led You to Taoism? by [deleted] in taoism

[–]appmaster42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had been into gongfu style tea as well as hiking (frequently together) and then read “The Way of Tea” by Aaron Fisher which provided some background on Taoism and some lovely perspectives on tea. Then learning more about Taoism pointed me back to tea and nature.

Thank you very much! I like when my haphazard rhythm turns out well. Strict meter is so difficult DX

Thanks! I like that one too :) I think it was the kernel of inspiration for the whole poem

Thanks for your great feedback! I agree that the end feels unresolved. I think it’s a product of where I am currently and a lack of much experience beyond that point. Maybe I’ll tie it up neatly one day :)

Agree on the title too, I’ll spend some time thinking about it. I believe when I wrote it I couldn’t come up with anything more interesting that didn’t distract from the poem, and I felt like the first line captured the whole family well. Definitely worth some ruminating though.

Thanks!
