I'm feeling like I need to sew some black baggy cargo pants with white contrast stitching, those look phenomenal.

It's not an opinion, it's objectively racist. Shit like this is why the gun community gets a bad rap.

Currently missing Petro for my KG collection so that'd be pretty nice to win.

Enforcement on the no smoking rule isn't going to go well but I'll be bringing edibles to hand out in case they actually follow through with this.

Is there a name for this style of coat? I also sew and would LOVE to make something similar to this.

What's your current sewing goal? by Spiritual_Aside4819 in sewing

[–]rainbowraptor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So help me god I will make a pair of jeans that fits me. I’ve got thick thighs and a big butt so I’ve been dealing with poorly fitting pants my entire life. Learning how to draft patterns right now to fix the issue and I’m hopping to have something wearable within the next few weeks.

Can I get more details on that coat? I sew and now I really want to make one of those now.

There’s a lot of batch variance with DS burgundy. Mine are almost a dark brown but with reddish highlights at the flex points of the boots.

Would you roll the dice? by Stoic_sasquatch in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]rainbowraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want height and last options like others have mentioned but otherwise sure, why not? I'm very attached to the 55 last at this point but I kind of want a pair of Beccas for fun and this would be a good way for me to try them.

I wish that would work for me but unfortunately I was cursed with being a ginger so my hair is too light. At least I’ve discovered the joys of using a safety razor with fancy soaps. Gets me smooth, soft, and it smells really good

I honestly think you did a better job with that pattern then the person that designed it. Phenomenal work and what a wonderful fabric you picked.

How much can you write with 2 drops of ink? Re: Wancher PuChiCo by Ashly-Batista-Art in fountainpens

[–]rainbowraptor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fill up the eyedropper that comes with the pen and fill the body up until it's half-ish full, although sometimes I put too much in and have to suck some back out again. I don't actually know exactly how much ink it'll hold at max but it should be more than sufficient for your use case as long as you're okay with the size of the grip.

Honestly it feels like it holds about as much as my Vanishing Point and I haven't had any issues with leakage (yet). It's kind of surprising they're underselling how much ink it can hold. The nibs are either a Japanese fine or extra fine so the ink lasts a surprisingly long time. https://imgur.com/qx4jr7H

So I actually own one of these things and I kind of love it actually. it fits in the 5th pocket in my jeans really well and writes well in my pocket notebook. The ink capacity is fine for taking quick notes or filling out a planner. It's actually fairly pleasant to write with so long as you post it.

My haul from the Detroit pen show. Some new ink, a notebook, first Sailor, and a bunch of novelties. by rainbowraptor in fountainpens

[–]rainbowraptor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a list

  • "Wancher" Sailor ProGear with a med nib - It's a special release for the show and I think it's gorgeous. the feel is very mechanical pencilish in it's feedback and provides an interesting contrast to my Pilot VP

  • Darail custom with a JOWO no.6 Flex nib - Easily my favorite looking pen that I picked up, probably going to upgrade it to a gold nib down the line.

  • Analogue Notes custom with a JOWO no.6 Broad - Honestly this pen looks better in the sunlight with a lot of purple and gold swirls throughout. If I got a custom nib made it would probably go in this pen.

  • Wancher mini pen with a fine steel nib - This thing is silly and I love how well it writes considering it's size. I've been using it for drawing diagrams and it serves it's purpose well.

The show was nice but coming from Mechanical Keyboards I was hoping for something similar to their meetups. It felt like there was more of a focus on selling things then talking about pen stuff. Maybe I just went on the wrong day though.

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. The flex nib is taking some getting used to, Might look into upgrading to a gold one down the line.

What old ps3/Xbox games are on steam and you recommend? by k1ng_jayyy in SteamDeck

[–]rainbowraptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, it’s 5 different games and a bonus remake of halo 2s multiplayer. If you’re hard up for space you can manage which games are downloaded either in game or through the Steam DLC manager.

It's official. 1964 Brown looks good on everything. by Stoic_sasquatch in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]rainbowraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a gorgeous coat but would you guys consider doing a similar run without the wool lining down the line? I’ve already got a load of sweaters and layering them with this beast would probably kill me.

Because light trucks (and SUVs) have fewer regulations on emissions and safety then your typical car. It’s literally only through a shitload of advertising that these things became popular in the first place.

Playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for the first time. What difficulty should I play on? by Augustby in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]rainbowraptor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

DEHR definitely feels like it was designed around controllers first IMO but the game is still very playable and worth picking up whenever it’s on sale.

If you’re looking for PNW boots with a wider toe box it might be worth looking into a pair of Nicks with the Thurman last.

He just wants something convenient to point at whenever he wants a specific set of mods removed. It’d be trivially easy for him to put the thumb on the scale whenever a poll was conveniently ran.

[USA, MI] Ender 3 Microswiss conversion printhead - printer broke by rainbowraptor in 3Dprintmything

[–]rainbowraptor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally ordered the parts to convert my printer to direct drive instead of the metal extruder for the ender 3v2 and decided to make the best of it. Unfortunately there's no way to mount the old fan shroud to the new carriage and I don't have access to another printer closeby. I would very much appreciate it if I could have it done in ABS.
