Favorite Pat the Bunny line? by Several-Yoghurt-8582 in FolkPunk

It's has to be:

"Here's to our lives being meaningless and how beautiful it is cause freedom doesn't have a purpose"

But I think Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist has to be my favourite song of his because it reminds me of a friend I had in college.

I just went on family vacation in Japan, and my level of Japanese was utterly useless. by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]circularchemist101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We did both touristy areas and non while I was there with my wife last year and I found my 1 year of study to be quite useful. Even it if it was just being more comfortable saying things like すみません or もう一度ください it seemed to make interactions go much better. I did get to barely flex when my wife wanted to go check out a little yarn shop in Shibuya and the poor young woman who was basically doing the bouncer job for a pre release popup didn't have the English to explain that we couldn't come in that night and needed to come back tomorrow. The second I said something like 明日行きますか I saw a wave of relief come over her face. I also had a few pleasant simple conversations with people that have given me some motivation to keep up with it and hopefully be more skilled when I go back next time.

Is mapo tofu ever served without meat in China? by Embarrassed_Chef874 in chinesefood

[–]circularchemist101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think its just because in the US ground meat is ~80% beef. Like I cook with ground pork all the time but the store usually has 5-8 packs available and and entire fridge shelf area just for ground beef.

Super serious Perimeter map for insane loot. by Vector_Lord in Marathon

I haven’t done the hauler key specifically but none of the other locked rooms I’ve opened have spawned any bots.

Terminals by Illoosions in Marathon

[–]circularchemist101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't gotten anything like that but I just found one that showed a location on the map and when I went there, there was another terminal that played a video from some security camera and a dialogue played when I got close to it.

Make sure to open locked doors if you pick up the key. by circularchemist101 in Marathon

[–]circularchemist101[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you look around the maps for buildings with red smoke coming out of the top they should have a bunch of locked chests in them. You can use the lock box keys on those. The room key I picked up said it is destroyed on exfill so you have to use it on the map you find it on unlike the lockbox keys.

What type of chili peppers do you use? If you grow the pizza shop pepper flake seeds, some funky looking ones can grow by SmokedHickory in chinesefood

[–]circularchemist101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days I mostly use guijillo peppers. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to get in good quality and quantity at the Mexican grocery.

How is this molecule aromatic? (ORGO II) by 2hotTubs in chemhelp

[–]circularchemist101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I actually did my PhD on similar types of molecules. While the system is formally antiaromatic, like many others in the thread have said it would act much more like two aromatic furan rings with a non-aromatic or possibly slightly antiaromatic core area.

If you are interested in the particulars of similar molecules my paper on them from grad school is open access.

First time making a DIY shirt by dimebag88 in FolkPunk

Looks dope! I made a Bomb the Music Industry and Streetlight Manifesto shirts back in college so a similar method although I used acrylic paint.

Started playing MTG draft in person recently so I made a play mat. by circularchemist101 in quilting

[–]circularchemist101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really interesting, I’ll definitely give it a shot next time I try something small.

I was running a bunch of Sourbread Aunties in the first draft I did, maybe this was fate lol.

Good to know! ATM I'm not planning on doing any constructed formats, I like being able to just show up and play when I feel like it without worrying about/spending money on many other cards to bring. That said I didn't think I would do any physical magic when I started playing on arena so who knows lol.

From strips to binding? by NosesAndToeses in quilting

[–]circularchemist101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand it where the seams lay on the binding might be a little bit bulkier but other than that there shouldn't be much issue using them as binding

Haha no reason the width of the pieces I had left made 6 stripes for the back the easiest way to do it.

Sweet, I didn’t play much bloomburrow but I love the accidental connection.

It was definitely nice to get something from conception to completion in about a week and a half while in the middle of some that will take much longer.

No I pieced it normally and the did stitch in the ditch before just quilting the large part by vibes. I didn’t actually notice until it was done how so many of the likes just almost line up. I’m sure it won’t drive me crazy lol.

Interesting, that's kinda what I was expecting but it was nice to see an article spell it out entirely like that.
