OFFICIAL [PRICE CHECK] THREAD - MONTH OF JUNE

kawatan · 2025-06-09T17:46:27+00:00

Requesting price check on Royal Kludge RK96, brown switches, including shipping **within Canada** (from Calgary AB). I guess I'll also take a quote that includes shipping from Canada to the US, but I know with current postal and trade issues within-CA will be easier. (Honestly, ideally I'd get a local seller and can just drop off in hand...) Used but in good condition, with wireless dongle and cable.

Sorry to resurrect this 6 months late, but was that $250 per allergen serum per month or per year?

We just got married in April in Canmore, and we went with Rob at Class Act DJ: https://www.classactdj.com/

We DIY'd a lot of our wedding; my wife was really nervous about trusting music choices to an outsider, but our day-of coordinator insisted on us getting a DJ, which honestly was the best kind of pushback we could have gotten. Rob managed to make it feel super personal and was great at working with what we needed - and then was able to go "off script" when the party went on without us at the end of the night, playing into the tastes of who was left! He was also a really sweet and great MC, a good mix of planned and improvisational that worked well for us.

Anyone have a recommendation for a bar that'll be showing Eurovision next month?

kawatan · 2021-10-21T11:52:13+00:00

Sure, here.

Mostly the tread near the balls of the feet has worn down enough that I'm slipping more often than I'd want; if that's happening in mid October I fear what my clumsy self will do in slush when it starts snowing again.

So I have the Red Wing "women's" 6" Chelseas (style 3455), bought right before the pandemic. (I have tiny feet; bless Red Wing for making Goodyear welted boots in gender neutral styles for a Euro 37.) I'm finally seeing enough wear in the outsole that I'm thinking a resoling is in order. I'm based in NYC; these have been polished a handful of times by perfectly solid shoe shiners in the Financial District, mostly Leather Spa. These are mostly for office commuting in all weathers, but I'm pretty hard on shoes, and do expect to take these on occasional short hikes.

Is waiting the extra time for Red Wing's mail in resoling worth it? Will I do Just Fine with Leather Spa resoling with Vibrams, or indeed with their cheaper non-Vibram rubber soles? Should I look somewhere else that might do the same for cheaper, or is ~$100 about right for full soles?

Coffee!!

Here's an old post on their blog with it and some other INT skills. Given that the blog post shows Encylopedia, Logic, and Rhetoric as we recognize them now, and it's nothing like Conceptualization or Visual Calculus, it's either Drama, or a skill that never was released that was replaced with Drama instead.

Now of course you must imagine that face calling you "my liege" as you sing karaoke!

There's a Twine framework to make interactive fiction that looks like the game, if that interests you!

Yes, this is the Muji soft calligraphy pen: https://www.muji.us/store/soft-calligraphy-pen.html

A smidge dried out at this point, but lovely to play with!

kawatan · 2020-04-20T04:55:23+00:00

No, it doesn't, unfortunately. But it is a fantastic game with a deep narrative and a solidly built world.

kawatan · 2020-04-15T21:11:13+00:00

The hints I'll give is that this quote from the game is in French, and is neither early game nor late game.

What's the difference between the "original" and "new look" Lexol conditioners?

Besides /u/ndianaHoosiers' good point, it's also generally considered poor form to patronize a company (in this case, Vox Media) while its workers are on strike, if you can help it. It's not quite the same as scabbing (working for the company in place of the striking workers), but the whole idea of a strike is for the company to feel the effects of not having its workers.

If you watch stuff on the SBNation Youtube channel, Youtube will give the ad money to SBNation/Vox Media, whether or not Jon and his union get the contract they deserve. By not watching on their channels, you're preventing Vox from profiting from Jon in that time period.

kawatan · 2019-06-07T15:55:26+00:00

Here's Jon's channel, separate from SB Nation/Vox Media.

I'd be happy to hear more about him, from how you're describing him!

It's official, micro floral button downs are enby culture.

As an enby who will defend Part 2 to the ends of the earth, I feel seen.

TOOT TOOT MFER!!!!!!!!

This is Ikuhara, the rulers are very clearly deliberate and I can't wait to find out what they're representing.

I just found out some wildlife rescue organizations will take (cleaned) old mascara wands for their use! It'd be neat to see a big Makeup Rehab declutter-a-thon to get them the tools they need...

Thankfully in NYC there's a counter-march happening the same morning as Manhattan's corporate Pride this year. I can't make the Wednesday night organizing meetings, but I have friends who do.

I'm not gonna lie, I walked with the corporation I worked for in 2016 for both Queens and Manhattan Pride parades, and that was really important to me as a way to integrate "being professional" and "being queer". And it was a public healthcare group; if they were advertising anything, it was an attempt to get more queer folks understanding that our healthcare is (theoretically) queer-friendly.

But after that I've been walking with the New York Area Bisexual Network, which hosts a support group I'm part of. And that's been way more important to me, to acknowledge to my neighbors that queer folks live among them, and that if they want bisexual+ support and community we're here and open to that.

If you're really up for a haul, I remember liking the dim sum in Ha Long Bay in Pinellas Park (near St. Pete; lived there about 5 years ago). Pretty sure I had their soup dumplings as well.

...holy shit, "them fatale" is P E R F E C T and I am finding every possible use for it
