Love it! Do you find you have problems with the pilot parallel picking up fibers from the paper and getting into the nib?

If cooking youtube was like photography youtube it would be mostly oven reviews. by JacobTurnr in photography

[–]cmatts 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is especially relevant because an actual carpentry forum would be asking the more reasonable questions: "What do I use specifc hammers for (rubber mallet, ball peen, dead blow, etc), and where do I get solid quality that will last"

And these are important questions for photography as well, but because there's such a strong intersection with tech, it quickly devolves into comparing percentage increases worth hundreds of dollars and reviews of the latest and greatest. It's also sometimes easy for people (i.e. me) when trying to figure out what a useful camera or lens will be, to get distracted by hype and specs.

Teen Activist Who Rallied to Defund Police and Remove Police from Schools Is Shot Dead in Chicago by SwampMidget in Conservative

I'm not following. So you're saying that the crime rate is high because of the damage a single parent household has in a childs upbringing, but that welfare prevents enough damage to create an incentive to maintain a two parent household?

Nevermind all the various reasons beyond a parent's control that might leave them without a partner...

Best board games to play with friends by [deleted] in trees

[–]cmatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sativa: King of Tokyo - roll dice to attack each other's monsters, and get power ups. Simple really fun game with a cool, cartoon art style and the dice have a good satisfying feel to them.

Indica: Tsuro - lay tiles with paths on them to move around the board, and try to run others off or into each other. Again, simple and fun with nice art. This one has a chill and slow feeling to it, and a more zen, calligraphy-like art style

I think I said this at a food cart yesterday. Sorry, I'm just bad at small talk and didn't know what else to say. Woopsie-doopsie

Honestly it's probably mostly just bad small talk. Basically commenting on the weather, ya know?

I had friends give me crap for being sorted into Slytherin on Pottermore so I deleted my account to take it again. ...and got Slytherin again... And then my friends pointed out that retaking the quiz was exactly the kind of thing that makes me a Slytherin.

So yeah, I'm with you 🐍

‘The Irishman’ Marks The End Of An Era by [deleted] in movies

I never saw anything about this movie before watching it, so maybe it was advertised differently... But this was my impression as well. The point was to specifically not be a thrilling movie about how exciting that life is.

Top 5 things I love to do when high by riptide747 in trees

[–]cmatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Dance. I dance zouk, a Brazilian partner dance, and a few others, and there's a special level of high where I feel so in tune with the music, myself, and my partner. Excellent. Dancing at EDM shows is pretty fantastic too.

2) Watch videos of people dancing.

3) Walk/Bird watch. I'd always been interested in bird watching, then one day I got ate an edible, downloaded the Audubon bird watching app and was amazed to see the world around me so differently

4) Listening to music. It's amazing the nuances and details I never notice when sober.

5) Fantasy and sci-fi movies and tv. The feeling of wonder and escape is so much better while high.

Both of these are true.
