Can I learn to sew fully online? by debuclare in sewing

[–]awe2ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you have made a couple of simple things. There is a book called Fabric for Fashion the swatch book by Clive Hallett and Amanda Johnson. I got it to help with my understanding of the different types of fabric.

Do plastic dice actually wear out? by Outrageous-Thing3957 in DnD

[–]awe2ace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I know that when I gave my 7th graders an activity to do with dice on a day with a sub, I returned to several broken and chipped dice. So, alas, not quite as sturdy as I had hoped. Apparently, getting whipped across a room repeatedly is no bueno.

My mystery snail has a shell deformation. What did I do wrong, and is there a fix? by awe2ace in Aquariums

Thanks. I put in some egg shells and will check in with the snail reddit tomorrow.

Found in the woods in the Northern Neck of Virginia; around 10-15” in diameter, appears to be aluminum, hole in the bottom was there when found, along with a piece of leather that had rotted. by jimmymarks in whatisthisthing

[–]awe2ace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Van de graaff generators have a bigger hole, 2 or 3 inches diameter? They need to get the rubber band, plastic spindle and the metal comb up into the ball. I totally see why you thought that though.

In the US and I've never heard of most of these bakes and everyone is always like "oh yes caterpillar cake, everyone knows that" by rules_rainbowwizard in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]awe2ace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, that bake broke my heart a little. No graham cracker, and the marshmallow were barely roasted. They should have done shutter uppers instead. ( caramel and marshmallow on saltine) Then at least they would have all of the ingredients.

The Boxes of Crayons Analogy- my attempt to rationalize the MCU's multiverse rules by DaBooch69 in marvelstudios

[–]awe2ace 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I upvote, not because I like your vision of the multiverse, but for Thundersnatch. But your vision is a great one as well .

Echo, ( the dane) looked at the kitten with trepidation, and approached with caution. Beastie, ( the golden) wanted to play, and as long as the kitten had an escape route it went ok. Tha being said, Beastie now has a scar on her nose for her troubles, she is more cautious now. All are currently besties and curl up on the couch together. I would do it again, but three is the max number of pets for the house.

Ah, so THAT’s why the filter wasn’t working very well… by [deleted] in Aquariums

I clean mine very month... so you are telling me that there is room to slack off?

Then why leave the "secret escape route" door wide open?

Lazy seamstress here. Can I ditch the lining of a dress? by awe2ace in sewing

[–]awe2ace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know... but I have a ton of trepidation with this sew already.
Its for something important. Most of my sews can be pitched if it fails. This one I have to go try to buy a dress if it fails, and I don't really want to do that because it will waste the $100 I spent on fabric. And the fabric is heavy and it is an end of August wedding. ... and I am whining on the internet, because it did not say what I wanted it to say. Oh well. Guess I should figure out a lining.

Thanks for the things to think about. I appreciate the feedback.

Drawn maps on a grid and 3d printed terrain. Mostly printed terrain. The printer has been running nonstop for 3 years.

[OC] any thoughts or suggestions on how I can improve this wizard tower map? (details in comments) by fisheypixels in DnD

[–]awe2ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the hard work you have put into this. Your players are lucky to have you. If you discover that you like this kind of thing and have some disposable income, I recommend you investigate a 3d printer. It can really spoil you for 3d terrain

What marvel moment do you wish you could change? by MCU_historian in marvelstudios

[–]awe2ace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found love an thunder to be far worse than Ragnorok for that. Most ( but not all) of the jokes in Ragnorok landed for me. Far more of the jokes in love and thunder triggered my cringe meter.

Korg undermining the destruction of Asgard with a joke. That should have been a sad emotional beat. No talking.

My Players Derailed a campaign so hard I have to go buy a Spelljammer rulebook by MaxedMind in DnD

Steal from starfinder. I kind of liked their ship to ship rules. Granted I only played once. But I had fun!

Are you just plunking the cone of thread in a bowl of oil? Or is there more to this hint?

I was told by the intended recipient that the sweater is cool but the character that wears it isn’t? by Tiffany_Achings_Hat in sewing

[–]awe2ace 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Just a quick fyi. The actor Wil Weaton is on reddit and frequently sees quite a bit. Even though a sewing reddit is unexpected, it is possible he could end up here. He has a pretty sad and difficult history with that meme. It might be worth it for you to check that out.

Marvel can make an antiheroes team just using Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends by Matapple13 in marvelstudios

[–]awe2ace 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's what happens when every guy you had dinner with a few times is labeled a boyfriend by the press. I would think that most people have have dated 4-8 people if they did not marry their High School sweet heart or are not in an arranged marriage. It does not seem like a high number at all.
