  • Yeah ok, if you want good shoes, it gets expensive fast.

    But if you know where to find cheap larp gear, please let me know.

    Cheap? Mytholon. Cheap and good? Sorry, not really. I mean, Mytholon has great fabrics, but they’re not exactly sewn straight or neatly.

    But a thousand bucks will get you there easily, depending on admission cost and food of course.

    Edit: depending on what you want, Burgschneider is pretty great. Not super cheap, but definitely good and not crazy expensive












  • I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.

    My husband Veto’d it, because “that’s the epitome of laziness”. Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It’s his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.




  • I took a drafting class in high school many years ago (late 80s) and for the first half of the year we did all of our drawing on drafting tables with pencil and paper. It was crazy. Fortunately they had computers too, so once we had the basics down we transitioned to using AutoCAD.

    I took one in uni, because at one time I wanted to be a civil engineer. We had a drafting class, and we started off on paper, because “you’re here to learn drafting, not computers!”

    One day, when dutifully following instructions the teacher said something “oh, did I say 10cm between these two (huge and complex) parts? I meant 6cm. Move them closer together”.

    So we all stared, and he said “and this why tomorrow we’re moving onto AutoCAD, bring your laptops”.
