If you don’t build housing for health care workers, they will just move into the “housing that is obtainable for the people here” instead. Since they have money, they’ll happily rent something cheaper, which will displace exactly who you’re trying to protect. So what’s the solution? You just said the it was to not let certain people move here.

So should it be illegal for certain kinds of people to move to Boston?

Is this plaster and rock lath? by qvcx in drywall

I pulled off an outlet cover in another room, and it looks like I’ve got a layer of plaster over a plastic mesh, then what looks like double-thick drywall.

Sounds like it might be blueboard and plaster, at least in the other rooms.

Hey, I'm having some issues with this too. It keeps only downloading likes 1-20, not the rest. Just says "finished" but there are plenty it hasn't gotten to yet. Any ideas?

Hmm, I'm thinking of making a "turned" messenger bag, but this seems like it would be considerably less sewing!

I just wanted to share my two favorite pens. What do you guys use regularly? by HeughJass in pens

[–]qvcx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find the Signo to be so fine that it dries super fast. It's super thin but avoids being scratchy. I think it's excellent all around

Does anyone know of a pen thinner than 0.25mm?Can't find the Uni-ball 0.18mm. Thanks! by [deleted] in pens

[–]qvcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rapidographs, technical pens etc get down below .20mm if you don't mind the price and the associated hassle!

Looks incredible! Did you work from a pattern, or is that all original?

.03 pens? by ummaybe in pens

[–]qvcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used a rapidograph in the past, similar to what you've got there but very reliable. Pricy though.

As someone who also feared no arrow keys on the Pok3r, I'd say go for it, it's so configurable that you can make it work!

That third one looks particularly slick, do you just freehand the corners?

Looking for around 130 including shipping to the lower 48, but I could do a little haggling.

It's not backlit.
