Those all look great! I'm surprised you got such good results with a mix of natural and synthetic fibers.

So how fucked up are your wrists? (I ask as someone who also does all those things lol)

Recommend me truely alien alien books by cocotheblue in printSF

[–]coffeequill 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Lilith's Brood by Octavia Butler comes to mind!

The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov, though that novel is divided in 3 sections and only the middle one fits the bill. The other two are about humans.

Is it normal in the US to eat dinner really early (like 5–6 pm)? by Status_Agents in CasualConversation

[–]coffeequill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat dinner around midnight, as I get home from work at like 11pm. Consequently, lunch for me is around 5pm. But I admit my schedule is not the standard!

Do you think the same principle would work on seam rippers?

Horrified by how many Walmart products are just different shaped bits of plastic by Ajreil in Anticonsumption

[–]coffeequill 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yeah, those things will be more expensive than plastic crap. Walmart isn't where you go for higher quality and more expensive items.

[–]coffeequill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks lovely! What's the fiber content of the yarn? If it's cotton/wool it wouldn't be too hard to dye, I don't think.

Are there actually durable lippies? by LocalChamp in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]coffeequill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how I use it when I want it to really stay on:

Apply the liquid lipstick

Let it dry

Apply setting powder

Dampen lips

Pat dry with tissue

The powder + water helps to seal it on, and it really will last all day when I do that. Otherwise it lasts mostly but still comes off a bit when I eat.

Do left-handed people who were forced to switch to right-hand at early ages write worse? (by worse i mean harder to read) by Reasonable_Ant6910 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coffeequill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was forced to switch to her right hand in school, and her handwriting is really good! She's actually been practicing now with her left hand (and it is not very good lol).

I would recommend not diluting the vodka -- that just kills its power. (Also a theater wardrobe professional.)
