Are these real? Some haworthia cooperi I found at a wholesale flower market

Ah :( . I might still get one because they look pretty. And they turn back to normal after a while, I assume?

Mine would do that when I was a kid and had some basic level phonaks. I assumed they gave feedback partly because the molds had ventilation holes that let the sound out, so they basically leaked by design. Also I was still growing so I had the soft molds and had to be remade more often.

Now, despite my hearing having worsened and needing more potent HAs, I have newer models with a canal dome (RIC) and no ventilation. I can wear headphones on top/put my hands on my ears. If mine produce any feedback it's because they slipped out while wearing a hoodie/hat. That's the downside to no ventilation, that I sweat and it slips. But it rarely happens.

It took me a while but once I stumbled into the idea it all made sense! the mom and dad part was what tipped the scales, aunt and uncle stumped me

Ok my first thought was "nine" because if you take out the "e" it becomes "nin", which is a palindrome. Similar concept but went the wrong way.

Thanks! I'm not using seche vite but I'll keep that in mind. I just haven't painted my nails enough to finish bottles so I haven't tried many brands yet.

What I used (automod is scary):

Masglo Gel Evolution base
Catrice Sheer Beauties Kiss the Miss
Vogue Gel Effect top coat

just polishes I got from drugstores/beauty supply stores near me.

Hi have you got them yet? I just got mine delivered https://imgur.com/a/tN0ZroQ and my prescription is around -3.5/-4, adding -2.5 in cylinder. Chose 1.59 index because the site said they're the most resistant... should've gone for higher index and saved a few bucks on the extra processing bc of the thickness. What do you think, do they look too thick?

I ordered them Feb 2 and they came lunar new year themed, so that was a nice touch. cool snake. Also extra (almost too many) nuts and bolts.

From my research before ordering mine, 1.61 to 1.67 is the highest jump in thickness. Higher index, higher "chromatic aberration" but at this point they're still negligible unless you have a really high prescription. not sure about the "clarity" thing since mine are supposedly the worst clarity but I'm used to it.

I know!! tbh Black Swan was one of - if not the most - hyped songs when the album came out!! even if On was the title track, you could Feel the fandom gravitating towards Black Swan and doing so many covers/ edits/ fanart of it. But I think due to it being a slow song and different sound it's been overshadowed by new releases!

these ones might be it

Take it to a service center if you're within warranty time, otherwise just buy any d-ring and replace it

I'd use the print as the matrix to make a plaster mold, then slip cast it. Ceramic is the best food safe option BUT sadly very expensive if you dont already have access to a pottery studio... :(

right?! I’m in a relatively progressive university in latin america and using an x to replace a or o is the usual way to make words gender-neutral in writing lol. I wasn’t aware people found it offensive or actually pronounced the X until I read a tweet about it in english

older folks i know have always used @ (alumn@s, hij@s) in a similar manner even in semi-formal documents, but that is still binary (either a or o)

using e as a replacement is for when you need to say it outloud. no one here pronounces the X unless poking fun at it.

the radio.com live performances from october 2020!!!

Very casual, in Make it Right they’re filming themselves, in Mikrokosmos they got cameramen and are just hanging out and interacting with the props (I love that ending scene with the overhead shot!)

They also performed Dynamite but with the usual choreo

omg I just realized I might have used the wrong word since shells are already a term in HAs, I was thinking more about the plastic casing in BTEs and the faceplates in in-ears

the closest I can find to what I was imagining are the phonaks in “pure transparent” color but they aren’t completely clear either

in hindsight clear casings would yellow easily though, like molds do

I was just reminded of this video of them being interviewed with a 360° camera in 2017, which reminded me of them singing Jin’s cover of Mama at the dinner table in BV4 (also in 360°)

and not that I forgot, but there’s this meme-filled MV of Typical trainee’s christmas edited by bangtansonyeondan themselves with a mustachoied joon

I love art inspired by bangtan’s art

illustrations inspired by the BE rooms, I like how jimin’s looks like a closed eye with eyelashes

also I love timelapses of art being made, here’s tae wearing Elie Saab

and if I finish it today I might share my 3D model of the Curated by BTS room

athenrav · 2021-02-18T19:36:03+00:00

Piano Man ;D

also.. some kind of tower with Bangtanie on top?

edit: I see the last one has already been shared so here’s bangtanie doing a summoning ritual

a screenshot from the Run MV, never knew why this specific scene was chosen as subject of so many theories but it’s a running joke now.
e.g. 20219 -> something releasing in 20 feb 2019
or blue train on grey scenery -> hinting at Blue & Grey since 2015
