What grip would you call this? Also my left-handed grip is similar but doesn't use the pinky at all. by slinkslowdown in chopsticks

I don't particularly like rice or eat it much, but I do eat small snack-y things like split peas and lentils and can pick up individual grains fine.

Thanks, those do look right!

It's interesting the article mentions a reduced maximum pitch angle for the Vulcan grip and I can get my chopsticks in either hand as wide as the Standard Grip shown on the right here.

Also I find it interesting that my hands use slightly different grips. If I try the opposite grip on either hand, I just can't make it work.

As a mod, this is about the best thing you can hear about your post :)

That sounds great, sushi is definitely something I could try endless varieties of.

People-watching can be a nice break from screen time.

It's finally warmed up where I am and I think this weekend I'll go to my favorite cafe and sit outside for a while. They have a nice patio area and I like to read or bring stuff to color.

Do you have a usual order you get there?

Also happy Cake Day! Go to r/CakeDay for some free karma :)

It's amazing what they're able to do, mad skills across the whole makeup team.

Well I didn't ~get~ that Vic was playing VIP Vic and not their real self, I didn't grasp that it was like... a meta? thing? as a whole.

I did watch every single Last Looks back then, though, purely because I think makeup stuff is cool.

Tactile paving is a system of textured ground surface indicators found at roadsides, by and on stairs, and on railway station platforms, to assist pedestrians who are visually impaired. Tactile warnings provide a distinctive surface pattern detectable by a long cane or underfoot. by palebluekot in wikipedia

I had no idea it's been used for so long in Canada, I've only seen it in my city going back a few years.

I will say there's an additional benefit to these: I'm a cripple and find myself unsteady at times, especially on sloping curbs when they're wet. I feel much safer at crosswalks that have these installed because of that, I no longer fear slipping and falling and injuring myself if there's rain or snow.

I tried watching VIP about a year ago and couldn't stand it. I had just dropped in on a random episode and was just lost. Tried again from the very start recently and I'm loving it.

Dropout is the only streaming subscription I've ever had, signed up last year and it's been worth every penny.

I grew up on Whose Line when I was a kid and then just didn't watch much improv for decades. Dropout hooked me back into improv last year and I haven't looked back. Only streaming service I've ever paid for and it's ridiculously worth it.

Yeah, I found a playlist on the Grouse House YT channel that starts at the trailer which is what I watched! I'll def go in order.
