Weekend Margin

Clear and sealed, use it. Cloudy or stringy, bin it. Anything with a smell, bin it and wash the bottle out if you want to keep the glass.

I take the counter waiver on short trips and don't regret it. Ten days at €25 is a different animal: that's €250 to avoid an argument. On a two-day rental I'd rather pay €50 than carry a €1,500 excess exposure on a card while I'm 2,000 km from home.

Also pull the plug lead before you put your hands anywhere near the blade, regardless of the smoke question.

I over-corrected from this exact problem into interrupting people constantly, and it took a friend telling me bluntly to notice. If you start pushing into gaps deliberately, check in with someone who will be honest in about two months. The skill you are building is real, and it overshoots.

Drawing on it feels wrong but I can see why that helps.

High bust rather than full bust. Nobody in any of the pattern instructions said that out loud.

The excess point matters more than it sounds. People assume gap makes them whole and then find they're still out the motor excess on a total loss.

Slightly different diagnosis: your elastic may be fine and your rise may be short. If the waistband ends up sitting below the narrowest part of your torso, gravity plus a hip curve will walk it downwards and it will roll when it arrives somewhere it does not fit. Measure where the finished waistband actually lands on you versus where you measured, and I would bet there is a difference.

So the loading applies regardless of my income. That's the bit every article buries under a comparison table.

I read the thread differently. It is not voice, it is melancholy plus institutional strangeness, a person quietly doing their job inside a system that does not explain itself. Piranesi is an archivist, Station Eleven is a troupe with a route and a schedule. On that reading, Klara and the Sun and Annihilation are both closer to your centre than the fragmentary ones, and Annihilation in particular is a single narrator on a single expedition with no structure to hold. I would also gently say Cloud Atlas is a bad diagnostic, half the people who love your two books bounce off it.

Iron gall is the traditional answer for exactly this job and the modern ones from Rohrer und Klingner behave far better than the horror stories suggest. Salix and Scabiosa write beautifully, darken on the page, and shrug off water. Two rules: do not leave them sitting in a pen for months, and flush the pen properly when you change ink. I would not put them in a vintage pen or anything with unknown metals, but a modern steel nib is fine.

Give it three or four weeks before you judge it. If you are still wrecked after a month of consistent timing and a dark room, that is worth raising with a doctor rather than buying more lamps, because at that point it is not a scheduling problem.

That is the honest version, yes. The charts you see published are averages of other people's trips, not a price you are owed.

When you do cut, cut a neat square and keep the piece. Screwing it back onto a couple of battens is far easier than patching a ragged hole.

Nobody in this thread knows what the tooling looks like in three years, including the confident ones. Pick the thing you will still find interesting in month four, because that is what determines whether the 200 hours happen at all.

I dropped to six credits and finished in three years instead of two. That was the whole fix and I resisted it for a year because it felt like failing.

What it actually bought me: one fewer assessment cycle per semester, so the weeks where a paper landed on top of a release stopped existing. Grades went back up, both jobs stayed fine, and the extra year cost me maybe $4k in tuition inflation. I'd pay that again to not repeat the eighteen months you're describing.

The trips north are the whole decision. Snow squalls off the lake do not care that your city roads are plowed, and you will be on a highway with trucks in the middle of one at some point. Whichever way you go, plan those trips around the forecast rather than around the tyre, because no tyre is a plan.

I did the add-on version and the number that matters is attach rate, which was 18 percent for me and I had privately assumed 40.

So the arithmetic on 140 customers: an add-on at 10 with an 18 percent attach adds roughly 250 a month. Folding it in and moving new signups to 39 adds nothing this month and adds 10 per new customer forever, which at even fifteen signups a month passes the add-on inside a year and keeps going.

The add-on also has to be sold, repeatedly, in-app, forever. The price rise is sold once, on the pricing page, by itself.

I bought one used with no remote because the seller said the app controls it. It would not pair without an account tied to the original owner's registration, support was polite and unhelpful, and I sold the whole thing on for less than I paid. Do not buy one without the remote in the box and a demonstration of it inflating both sides in front of you.

The copper wire detail is exactly the kind of thing I would have got wrong with a drill bit. Thank you.

Run it dry or treat it. Noted for October.

If you are selling these, a rustic top is a selling point. If they are for you, nobody is looking.

Seeing 600 pages as seven weeks explains basically every book I abandoned this year.

Unpopular answer: cut it down. A fitted shift with two inserted panels is three evenings of work on a garment you will always know is a repair, and you have the pattern and the experience to make another one that fits in about the same time. I have done both and I wear the remade ones.

You feel fine, you function, you do not need caffeine to get through the afternoon. That is the outcome measure. The ring is measuring a proxy for it badly.
