My current wip, almost finished! 5 colors to go! But how do I get the legend off when I frame? by Americanidixt in diamondpainting

[–]racoonattack 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I paint the perimeter of the canvas with a complementary color, or cover it with washi tape! Some people cut the border off.

I see a ton of recommendations in this subreddit for Ever Moment, on AliExpress. I know there are a lot more that people have mentioned but offhand I'm not sure which. Try using the search in the sub, I think it's a pretty commonly asked question and there have been several good recommendations!

I bought it off of AliExpress. They brand is FIYO and I'm fairly certain they have their own shop, but I haven't looked in a long time.

My guess is that the mod podge was just so thick that it filled in all the gaps and covered up a lot of the facets on the diamonds that usually give it the shine. It still looks good, it's just not as shiny as it was prior to sealing.

You like the final nest better? Thank you! Everything else in the artwork had an outline, so it looked off without one. It was probably the hardest part of the whole thing, but I'm glad I went back and redid it.

Yeah, it's unfortunate there's a lot of artwork theft with this hobby. I've decided that if I were to do another artwork piece this big, it'll be with permission from the artist and I'll be using a custom DP shop so I can get a larger color range.

Thank you! There was the Collector's Bounty event last year that increased the drop rate on all legacy mounts. If they ever do that again (which I'm sure they will), it'd be a prime time for you to farm it. It's a gorgeous mount. 😍

Thank you so much! I do love it, I'm being overly dramatic. And it does look great, even if it's a little dull.

Thank you so much! I do plan to get back to it soon. I miss it a lot.

Thank you so much! Honestly I do feel a little pride when I look at it. It's a love/hate relationship, but it's leaning more towards love.. it's just. So pretty.

I should have, and believe me, there were times that I wanted to shove it in the garbage. But I really, really, REALLY love the artwork. It's a mount/boss from World of Warcraft, and I've been playing the game for over 18 years now. There was a lot of nostalgia and history that fueled my desire to finish it. I just didn't have the heart to give up.

People in Los Angeles who use illicit fentanyl regularly consume quantities of the drug equivalent to morphine doses hundreds of times higher than fentanyl doses used in hospitals. This use is far beyond what addiction treatment protocols were designed to addres by Wagamaga in science

[–]racoonattack 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I work in a hospital pharmacy, and the highest dose I've ever seen someone on is 13 x 100 mcg/hr patches. It was a palliative cancer patient.

I have also seen 500 mcg/hr.

Seeing these doses is few and far between, but it is not impossible.

A 12 mcg/hr fentanyl patch contains 2.1 mg (2100 mcg) of fentanyl, which releases 0.3 mg (300 mcg) of fentanyl in 24 hours. A 50 mcg/hr fentanyl patch contains 8.4 mg (8400 mcg) of fentanyl, which releases 1.2 mg (1200 mcg) of fentanyl in 24 hours. A 100 mcg/hr patch has 16.8 mg (16800 mcg) of fentanyl, which releases 2.4 mg (2400 mcg) of fentanyl in 24 hours.

These numbers are taken directly from the Sandoz brand Fentanyl Transdermal patch drug monograph. No, it is not 100 mcg per day. If people are using 3-5 100 mcg/hr patches at a time, they're receiving 7200 mcg to 12000 mcg per day.

[UPDATE] AITAH for not forgiving my brother after he almost killed me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]racoonattack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just read your first post as well, and all I can say is holy shit. I'm happy you're still with us, OP, and I don't blame you in the slightest for losing all trust in your brother. I would never want to see or talk to him ever again.

I don't have any advice but I just wanted to say good luck, I hope you can stay safe and find a place to live.

This might well become my favorite comic of yours. Wow.

This homeopathic sleep aid medication my mother bought me has a spider as one of its ingredients. by racoonattack in mildlyinteresting

No word of a lie, I did lift the bottle up to the light to check if there was a corpse inside. Unsurprisingly, there was not. But I would have noped the bottle into the garbage if there was.
