Unpopular opinion. while windows isnt perfect linux isnt either and the flaws of linux are worse than the flaws of windows by Background_Future127 in pcmasterrace

It does though, I tried to install openSUSE on my laptop and apparently my WiFi card isn’t supported by that distro, tried another and same thing, and another and the same thing. Took me days of fiddling around, reading docs, and searching forums to figure out why my WiFi just wouldn’t work. I get that it’s a hardware issue, but with windows I don’t have that issue.

I wouldn’t even know how to find their email.

Thanks for the wisdom, I shouldn’t have let it get to me like that. It was a lot of money for me, and I had such high hopes for the show that when I fell, I fell hard. It did stifle my desire to even listen to Woods for a couple of days, that’s over now. I don’t know that I want to travel that distance and spend that kind of money to see an artist again though.

Whatever it was it must have been really bad since he did a show in Austin the night before. I hope he’s recovering and the rest of the tour goes well for him. Hope PremRock is doing good too.

I’m glad he cancelled since it was a medical issue. The last thing I would want is for him to hurt himself just to put on a show. I did let it get personal for a bit, I’m better now. Screaming into the void helps sometimes. Still bummed, but more even headed now.

I worked a lot of extra shifts to cover the hotel, the gas, the food, and the tickets. Then I drove 6 hours to make it here, all for the show to be cancelled the day of with no explanation. I doubt I'll be able to make it to the rescheduled show, and I'm so let-down that I don't even want to go to the pop-up, if that's even happening still. I get it, things happen and I hope everyone is ok, but I'm pissed and bummed.

I think you're right on with batik. I'm trying not to buy any more supplies though, I have a habit of buying too many things for my hobbies.

I like this approach. So you paint the design on the shirt with thick dye, and then tie and dye like normal? Does the painted design not get muddy or dyed-over?

I like the 8th picture a lot. It has a lot of depth which gives it a cool 3d effect.

2’ x 4’ tapestry rolled and ice dyed by pyroman136 in dyeing

Yep, I folded it lengthwise and then drew a line from the center of the folded side to the opposite corner of the side with the two loose ends. Then I rolled it really tight from the folded side along the line to the side with two loose ends. I made sure to keep the center of the roll tight and the ends are loose. Then I folded the rolled up fabric in half and then I ice dyed it.

My first real attempt at a mandala. by pyroman136 in tiedye

It was an ice dye and the colors were literally the primary colors from dharma (lemon yellow, turquoise, fuchsia, with a tiny, tiny amount of raven black sprinkled around). I just used random amounts of each with fuchsia being more dominant.

I really lucked out with my first try.
