What an interesting mix of bricks!!!

The double-stacked bricks with the line across them (one pair is half a brick over to the right of the bottom of the lower window pane) are called Shadow-Tex, at least in the part of USamerica where I learned about bricks. Aa far as I know, Belden Brick is the only company in this area that makes that texture and shape. Below is one of Belden's shadow-tex brick in a color that would work here. Maybe I'll do a separate post to explain how shadow-tex bricks are made, because it's neat. They are usually at least 11 inches long, so you'd have to cut them to make them match the length of the others (7 5/8" if the building was built in the last 35ish years, maybe 8" if it was built before that).

The rest could probably be matched with Acme Brick's Mission Trace, though king size might not work.

If mixing Belden's shadow-tex romans and Acme's Mission Trace kings is too much work, you could conceivably use General Shale's New Foundland bricks by themselves. The bark texture on some of the bricks in this blend (blended from different lines at the plant) could kinda match the shadow-tex brick from afar.

Oh and the piece above the window is called a lintel, pronounced like the legume. Concrete lintels are reinforced with rebar, so they can hold the weight of a brick veneer!

Now if you don't mind, @identifying-cat-phenotypes please complete the picture?

🫵 pin-pen merger spotted

[ceruleanvulpine]

@the-crying-bitch

in some dialects of american english, "pin" and "pen" are pronounced the same - specifically the vowel sounds, which can be different in other contexts, are "merged" into the same sound if they're before a nasal consonant, as in pin and pen (or lentil and lintel). in other dialects they are distinct, and this is strongly regional.

(even if you have the pin-pen merger, you probably pronounce those vowels differently in other contexts, like "kit" vs "dress")

i thought it was funny to "identify" this (based on @brick-match saying lintel is pronounced like the legume) as a tag to a post by a very specific object-identifying blog. it's like, very rarely going to be possible to identify someone's vowel shifts based on a text post so this struck me as serendipitous. it would have been better for the bit if I provided more information though to match the level of detail on bricks.

sorry op.

Hero, in recognition for your courage and temerity in the face of my absolute evil, I grant thee a ring of maidenification.

[contemptible-scoundrel]

this shits gonna flip into a clean 500 gold pieces for sure

[princessdraconic]

Of course it will, should it leave your finger~

[contemptible-scoundrel]

my friend you are off your rocker if you think this thing is even getting close to one of my ring slots I know better than to make that mistake after putting on one of your amulets and being turned into a newt for a week

[princessdraconic]

you were really cute as a newt. . .

I'm afraid being tiny and small made it very difficult to carry stolen treasure. it obstructed the hustle

Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.

So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.

I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)

If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.

[crookedtines]

I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!

The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.

For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.

in the tradition of outcast (2014), dragon blade (2015), and the great wall (2016), we need a movie set in the 1630s where a disillusioned member of the embroidered uniform guard and a profit-driven jianghu mercenary flee the corrupt and crumbling ming dynasty and somehow end up in the equally corrupt city of cologne, where they become key players in the fight against the sinister forces of cardinal richelieu and eventually secure the peace of westphalia and the end of the thirty years’ war. this is a million dollar idea i’m telling you

[romanceyourdemons]

i really do love this concept. the protagonist is like i’m sick of dealing with wei zhongxian’s shit, i’m gonna go someplace where people are holy and don’t even know how to act like this (the impression of europe he got from the jesuit missionary he had a tactical lunch with once), and so he travels 5000 miles and as soon as he stops to catch his breath he runs into cardinal fucking richelieu, the european wei zhongxian

check out hand jumper if you want to read a Deadly Mutants School(tm) type story where the previously-goody-two-shoes wannabe law student is as cruel as she can manage to her rival (?) in the hope of getting her to finally do something, fully intending to gather intel and then savescum back to before she did it, and then gets punched unconscious and wakes up after the savescum time limit <3

Doing a final project in my stats class, we have to pick a subject and collect data on it. We need at least 100 data points, and I figured this blog is big enough that a poll on here could get to that pretty easily!

Doing my project on if it’s more likely to be born in certain months :]

I have gotten the OK from my teacher to collect data using a Tumblr poll, btw. I’m also going to have to send her this post as proof of where I got the data from / proof I didn’t just make up the numbers. So. Behave

There's this really obscure forgotten DC hero named the Heckler, who's basically buggs bunny as a superhero, not having any powers or physically strong, but just really good at pissing people off until they accidentally deal with themselves.

Now they're interesting, but the REAL star of the show is one of his villains, John Doe the Generic Man, who's this guy in a stark white suit with flat pink unshaded, untextured skin with no features or anything who talks like chatGPT and has black text over his face that explains what he's feeling at the moment. That guy is fucking fascinating.
