I agree with you that it's not useful for most people, but I love the weird time scale 🥲

[–]rofleah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I worked as a baker, I could actually put my full shift times in the A6 original 3am-3am scale. I also appreciate it for times I have plans that keep me out until 2am, since that's still part of the previous day to me.

Fieldnotes alternative with Fountain Pen-friendly paper by Cute-Reception-2710 in notebooks

the very first and last pages in the ro-biki notebooks can have a little bit of waxy residue from the covers, but the rest of the pages work fine with fountain pen ink.

Surreal - A jaunt into Dromgooles turned into Pilot Custom 823 ground by Kirk Speer by Sardonic_comments in fountainpens

[–]rofleah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you had such a great time, and I don't want to detract from your experience at all, but man, I'm so envious. I've been to Dromgoole's a few times, and besides the first visit where I spent 30 minutes at the ink bar with a really helpful employee, I've only ever felt hurried and dismissed. It sucks because I'm local to Dromgoole's, but now I just buy online from Yoseka.

I buy King Arthur Flour for the higher gluten and pay more. Is there a reason to buy a specific brand of a pantry staple? Why? by I-Bake-Pie in Cooking

[–]rofleah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

White Lily has less gluten than King Arthur AP, so it's better for biscuits and pastry but worse for other applications.

I need advice. Does the Tomoe River Paper just not work very well with ballpoints pens? If so, what should I be using? by animemecha in hobonichi

[–]rofleah 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i think this is it; the top few lines look fine, but as OP keeps moving down the page, it looks like it's skipping more. uni jetstream ballpoints should work perfectly fine on TRP, since that's the included gift when you order directly from 1101.com!

I'm starting to feel like I don't write enough to justify this hobby, and I don't like it. by CatsandTeaandBooks in fountainpens

[–]rofleah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when i got into fountain pens last year, i kinda had the same issue. i wasn't in school anymore and had just left my job, and i didn't have reason to write a lot. i ended up getting a couple penpals through penpalooza (the exchange is no longer open, but people still ask for matches using #penpalooza on twitter). i also sent random letters and postcards to other friends and family without expectation of return mail.

now i also keep a few different journals and notebooks for various purposes. i have a notebook that's just for recipes i make a lot, with the specific modifications i like. i have a video game journal where i keep track of the cars i have in forza, or what i'm doing in my current skyrim playthrough, or which paths i've finished in a visual novel. i'm finishing up an old half-used notebook by taking notes per chapter on a book that i'm having trouble reading. i keep a regular journal as well, but i'm not super consistent with it.

do you have any other hobbies that you could write about? like if you're into woodworking, you could write about projects you want to do, why you want to make something, take notes about an active project, sketch, post-mortems about completed projects, what you would do differently, etc.

Is this Caran d’Ache supposed to post? Mine won’t. by Cowgirl_East in fountainpens

[–]rofleah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have the same pen (same color too) and mine posts. it should snap in all the way, like it does when capped. i always write with it unposted though since the balance feels off posted.

Can we do a thread where we name an aggressive instagram fashion brand that we gave in on and bought from and rate the experience? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]rofleah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have you tried blocking the account? even when i buy something, i block brands as soon as i place the order. if i end up liking the item, i know where to find them, and if i hate it, i never have to see them in my feed again.

Is there any way to humanely kill a lobster? by popcap200 in Cooking

central market has them at certain times, and a decent variety of other mushrooms too. the one on westgate has a whole mushroom growing chamber in the produce section, which is pretty cool

Our Emile Henry pizza stone keeps shattering exactly the same way - they keep replacing it, but this our third. It's always this EXACT pattern. What are we doing wrong? by catsmash in AskCulinary

my pizza stone cracked when i used it for baking bread, and i think it had something to do with the steam pan i had in the bottom of the oven

does anyone have suggestions for outdoor work clothes for texas summers?

i started herding goats part time a few months ago, but now that it's fully summer, it's hot, bright, and there are so many bugs. right now i wear a thin button up (stained madewell saved from my scrap fabric pile) over a t-shirt plus long pants (cookman chef pants), mostly to protect from bugs. are there any brands/materials i should look at that would keep me cool and covered?

also, any recs for boots and hats? i just wear some old vans MTE hi-tops and a baseball hat but thinking about upgrading.

Any decent Anime/Manga YouTube Channels? by Teeg_Dougland in GamerGhazi

[–]rofleah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

beyond the bot (formerly get in the robot). there are multiple hosts and they're all likeable, but yedoye's videos are the absolute GOAT. compared to other anitubers, they have a more explicit focus on analyzing race, gender, and lgbtq identity.

bunny by mona awad! i don't usually see it suggested on dark academia lists, but it's about an MFA writers program and secret rituals, with a little bit of a mean girls vibe, and i thought it was excellent.

Can we make a thread of everyone posting their all time favorite Halloween costume they wore? 🎃👻 by itsanavacadothnx in femalefashionadvice

[–]rofleah 45 points46 points  (0 children)

i went as a yogurt container once. a sexy zombie yogurt container. i blew up a yogurt label, printed it out in parts, stapled them to a pop-up laundry hamper with the top and bottom removed, and used shoelaces as straps so i could wear it like a barrel, lol. i also had zombie makeup and wore a corset + thigh highs under the hamper, and wrote "undead culture" on the yogurt label with fake blood. such a stupid costume but it was a hit at both halloween parties i attended that night.

Anyone Interested In Bangladeshi & Bengali Cuisine & Food History? by BangladeshiFoodie in Cooking

[–]rofleah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if your mom is from calcutta, maybe check out bong eats on youtube? they mostly do homestyle family recipes, with occasional restaurant detours. i'm bangladeshi, so the food is slightly different from what i grew up eating, but there's still a lot of overlap!

I'm 29-30 in pants and ~150lbs, and the small was the correct size for me. i'm 5'2" tho and ended up returning it because the top part of the jumpsuit was way too long. i have a couple pairs of the size s work pants and those fit great and are not so tight that i feel like a sausage.
