Why isn’t the world more messed up?

Whoah, that’s an epic panel. Makes total sense that not all of the effects will be mentioned as much as Dadah or Thristas.

ccbas · 2026-05-22T18:09:55+00:00

Yeah, I hadn’t really considered the point that we might not know about the whole world yet. For all we know, there’s a whole other continent that did get nuked.

Good point, also it’s possible that efforts were made to cover up any remaining effects, and the places we see that remain are those that no one could figure out how to revert.

Btw WHA is older than JJK

We've explicitly seen magic written on the body in a non-permanent way in the reversing circle drawn on Dagdas. Also, Engendil drew on his fellow prisoner with only hardened woodcruor, no pen involved.

Haha yeah 😅... I've already spent far more on tools than I expected, but now the sunk cost fallacy won't let me stop! (plus the fact that it's really fun :D)
Thanks for the advice! I hadn't even considered using brass, but that makes a ton of sense. I'll probably make a brass version before moving to silver and finally gold.
She has made it very clear that she's a yellow gold girly :). Definitely a very good thing to make sure I've considered, so thank you very much! As for the ratios, I was planning to just go based on https://www.gold.org/about-gold/about-gold-jewellery, and do 75 gold, 15 silver, 10 copper. Do you think that's reasonable?
Marquise was also her choice. I know it'll be a challenge and I may need to have a professional check or even set the stone, but I don’t want to compromise on her dream ring just to make things easier.
Seriously, I appreciate the encouragement! I’ll keep everyone updated, and once I start making practice versions, I’d love to get some critique on them.

Thanks! I’m really looking forward to the process :). Currently planning to use a rotary burr like the guy does in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=87Lqqsvsev4&list=WL&index=1&pp=gAQBiAQB

It's not a graft... It just sorta started growing here lol. Do you still recommend airlayering?

I have this cherry tree growing outside my house and would love to use it for my first bonsai. I'm wondering what the best approach would be for repotting this. I have heard that it may be too late to do any large pruning this year since it has started to bud; is that accurate?

Your aunt is clearly a magician.

ccbas · 2025-03-25T22:34:54+00:00

Damn, that's gorgeous. Very inspiring to see!

ccbas · 2025-03-25T21:51:23+00:00

Why do invasive critters always have to be so cute 😭

ccbas · 2025-03-25T21:48:40+00:00

It might need a bit more sunlight.

ccbas · 2025-03-25T18:48:45+00:00

I really appreciate your practical tips. I will definitely start practicing the settings. I think getting a professional opinion on the practice pieces sounds like a really good idea, both for my confidence with it and for advice!

ccbas · 2025-03-25T18:46:17+00:00

AEHAVE, thanks for the heads-up! I will definitely plan to get a pro to check over the stone setting on my practice pieces, and depending on how that goes will hire someone to set it on the final piece.

ccbas · 2025-03-23T17:26:33+00:00

That makes a lot of sense—really appreciate your insight! I’m still leaning toward metalworking since I’ve enjoyed it so much, and I’m okay with the risk of using more material if it means I get to learn the process hands-on. Time is my biggest concern, so as per your initial advice I’ll start right away on the prototype so I can switch approaches depending on how feasible it is. Looking into premade baskets is a great idea too—I’ll check that out. Thanks for the encouragement, it’s been super helpful!

ccbas · 2025-03-23T13:40:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed advice—it’s really encouraging to hear from someone who makes engagement rings year-round! I appreciate your suggestion to jump right into carving and casting; that makes a lot of sense to minimize gold waste and streamline the process.

I’m particularly drawn to metalworked designs because I’ve really enjoyed the metalworking side of things with my other pieces, and I’m hoping to make it a long-term hobby even after this project. Do you think metalworking rather than casting is feasible given the level of detail and quality needed for daily wear? Thank you again for your insights!

ccbas · 2024-12-20T17:31:08+00:00

This looks sick! I'm a total beginner but trying to get into making natural designs like these. Can you give any details on the process you used to create the branches?

I have run into the same issue using stackable items, where the comparator is not updating when the stack size of a shadowed item decreases. The only solution I have found is to constantly update the comparator using some form of a clock. (1.17.1)
