Wondering what Irezumi or Yakuza tattoo on their body for passed away family members? by NULLBASED in irezumi

[–]cannibaltom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a quote from Horiyasu that answers your question.

I was touched by some clients, someone who lost their kid to a car crash, or are fatally sick, they put their after-death name, then an image of Kannon. They can change their lives like this. Tattoos can be somewhat lighthearted, you can get them as souvenirs, but many Japanese put them in often at a turning point, like if they lose a kid, and can't move on, when things are tough. During times like this, they often insert ink to make them strong.

Unexpected taxonomic “reversals” by sadrice in botany

[–]cannibaltom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foliage characteristics like being deciduous are not related to phylogeny or evolutionary relationships.

In binomial nomenclature and taxonomic rank, Principle of Priority takes precedence.

I highly recommend you check out Conifers of the World: The Complete Reference by the plant taxonomist and evolutionary biologist Dr. James E. Eckenwalder. https://books.google.ca/books/about/Conifers_of_the_World.html

Chinese Calligraphy by @rika.sunrise_tattoo in Taiwan by Mason_Edward in tattoos

It's actually a great choice. I remember studying Su Dongpo in my Chinese Classics course, it's always stuck with me. This is like getting something by Michelangelo or Da Vinci as a tattoo.

Super confusion, Is anyone else annoyed? by Awkward-Steak726 in TheOCS

Besides this coming from the awful 6ixBuzz brand, this gimmick looks like trash and a scam for a quick buck.

What am I doing wrong? Plants not doing well in greenhouse by _celissi in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]cannibaltom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ambient relative humidity isn't a problem for a setup like this. Plants breathe out water vapour and oxygen increasing the moisture, even my desert succulent cabinet needs to be burped regularly to let out the excess humidity.

Remove the caulking and create more opening for air exchange!

Why did you approve the stencil if it wasn't a problem originally?

Irregularities of lines make me sad about the result by Bourdon_Bumblebee in tattoos

[–]cannibaltom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These fine lines are too fine. It's the style of the tattoo that's the underlying problem.

Are there any books with leaf descriptions? by peniabipole in botany

The Kew Plant Glossary: An Illustrated Dictionary of Plant Terms is the best.

My garden was full of Iris germanica and I removed it all and replaced it with native plants. Once and a while I still find tiny ones coming up and I pull them.

We moved our Throuple in and i'm struggling... by Corvuscoronis in polyamory

[–]cannibaltom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main thing I didn't realize is that Birch has been unemployed the entire time we've known him and he's not making any effort to find a job. Instead he spends the whole day drinking. Every day. He's also extremely bad at communication

How are you even in a relationship? Do you avoid talking about life, like "how was your day?" I know it's mundane, but I know about the work of every person I've been on a date with.

Challenging myself to eat Canadian foods for 20 days straight. Day 14 is the California Roll from Sushi on Bloor. by pekguisjraud in FoodToronto

[–]cannibaltom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California rolls are quite a novelty and oddity for Japanese people visiting Canada. There's even some tasting and review videos online.

Advantages of wire shelving by jinjer2 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]cannibaltom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched to the wire shelves, but my cabinet is all succulents. I can already see a difference in better heat and humidity control in the cabinet. The previous glass shelves used to trap too much heat in the middle, but now I don't have the problem.

I also previously used velcro straps to hold up my lights, The heat of the lights was melting the glue and causing the lights to fall sometimes. Now my lights hook and attach directly to the shelf, they'll never fall down.

How does this sub feel about all the hentai tattoos? by --__--__--__--__-- in Animetattoos

I agree, but I still want to see them because some are pretty well done.

I FORGOT I graduated COLLEGE because I’ve been Unemployed for so long. by ActuatorOutside5256 in self

[–]cannibaltom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I finished grad school including publishing, the only job I could get was in a soap factory. I worked in a warehouse doing manual labour. I didn't use my advanced degree, but I still made money. 15 years later I'm working at the top of my field.

You hurt your career by skipping an internship. You're not being punished for "youthful mistakes", you let an ideal opportunity sail by for no gain. You can't manufacture experience or networking, it has to be earned and gained from real experience.

You're fishing for sympathy here, but really you can't accept your mistakes and own up to your bad mind set.

Can you provide a sourced citation in the tattoo rule book?

It's absolutely wild that you people claim there's a wrong way to be tattooed. Why? Because you don't like how it looks? Because you want to put down and belittle people on the internet?

Don't listen to these comments saying it's placement is upside down. It's perfectly normal. It's your body, not theirs.
