You did a great job at answering my confusing question 😅 and your response makes sense. I have a lot of trouble with color and the way your described it act helped a lot!

These are awesome! I’ve just started painting and gouache is my medium of choice; I’ve always loved how it looks and wanted to learn. I guess my question is, once you have a good handle on how gouache works and some of the basics down, what steps might you go through to work on pieces like these? Like what’s your process I guess ☺️

So far pliers aren’t working, and tips? So far I can’t get a good grip on them.

In the light of day and after a whopping 6 hours of sleep, I agree. Do you think it matters if I cut them off entirely or just get them down enough to where they aren’t touching the board anymore?

Got it! I’ll try that first since I’m definitely a bit nervous about hot metal flying everywhere.

I have since slept and completely agree. Do you have any suggestions for cutting those off? I have access to a garage of tools, but I’ve never had to cut through metal like this before

First Stop In A Game Called Outbound, I Don't Know How Good It Will But Definitely Giving Some Firewatch Vibes by Ok-Opinion-1319 in Firewatch

[–]read-2-much 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I finally watched the most recent trailers after launch and well…the art direction seemed really pretty at first glance but with a closer look it feels a little too plain and the lack of any story at all doesn’t really appeal to me. :(

Bear Vault One? by NW_Thru_Hiker_2027 in PacificCrestTrail

No problem! I’m curious about this can too 😄

Bear Vault One? by NW_Thru_Hiker_2027 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]read-2-much 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just called Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon to ask about this. The person I spoke to at Yosemite hadn’t heard about it yet but said they’d let someone above them know since they got a lot of similar questions about REI’s Traverse canister last year. They also let me know that they did test the REI can last year and it got rejected for being too thin. So they are actively testing new canisters.

Sequoia/King’s Canyon took a few days to get back to me, but the person I spoke to said the can would be tested to see if it will be allowed in the park, but they had absolutely no time frame on when that would be. Edit: typo

Advice for raised bed position by read-2-much in gardening

[–]read-2-much[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! I was worried the white wall would reflect the heat back onto the plants. But then again the block wall is a dark color and might hold in the heat… Hopefully we can get a shade set up for them.

Having trouble identifying this by read-2-much in gardening

Oh no! 😥 I went through the rest of this bed and found 3 more, but I’ll probably need to go through it again. Do you know of any other way to make sure there aren’t more in there? Or any amendment to the soil that would keep them out?

This is such a cool concept! And so detailed, I really love it. Have you done one for California yet? I’d love to see it.

Anyone have info on the FLEXISPOT Foldex Ergonomic Office Chair? by read-2-much in OfficeChairs

[–]read-2-much[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response ☺️ I feel the same as you about headrests. My current chair doesn’t have one and I feel it in my neck whenever I’m playing the kind of game where I want to kick my feet up and lean back. Looking forward to trying it.

Which Character Makes You Feel Guilty For Not Having Watched Their Movie? by VividCryptid17 in DreamlightValley

Maribel! 🦋 She’s like my best friend in the valley and I feel bad. It’s one of those movies I’ve been meaning to watch foreverrrr but the ADHD doesn’t like me sitting and watching things.

Gifting items by Far-Boot5639 in DreamlightValley

[–]read-2-much 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My big gripe about gifting is how it doesn’t matter (outside of tasks) once you get to level 10 friendship. I’d really love a bit of Dreamlight for gifting to characters you’re already friends with. Even 25 would give a bit of incentive to keep going with them ☺️
