Damn, that's interesting! I'd think like any profession, some are just that good?
I'm a "better-safe-than-touch-up these fucking baseboards until I'm screaming" kinda person, so I'll splurge my time on taping. I also tend to paint with strong-ass pigments, so I don't wanna try to fix those blunders, haha. The previous owners of our home basically had the entire interior sprayed with matte ceiling paint over plaster when they moved out, so the kitchen, stairwell, and bathrooms are going to pros, especially so they can be done in succession. I just wanna be able to easily wash my flippin' walls.
More power to you! I mean, I don't tape outlets, just remove the covers, and be mindful of the plugs.But, my own house is riddled with crown moulding, including around the doorframes, which is very pretty and all, the contrasting white is lovely with painted walls, but DAMN if its jutting edges, corners, and curvy bits don't sneak up on ya when you're using a brush or a roller, no matter how carefully. So, for my clumsy bum, tape and more tape!
For reals, though - having painted several rooms--literally in the current process of painting another--you can use whatever "time saving" ~~fucking scams~~ tools are out there, but Frog Tape, friends! Tape, like you're sealing a space station, and a little extra. Or just pay a professional to do it all properly, because it's frankly a bitch, depending on your walls and layout.
Whoa! I don't actually know what I expected, but this is so much more awesome information than I thought I'd see!
Thanks, everyone -- I think I'm leaning towards a Baratza model, as that should fit a lot of categories that weren't absolutely necessary, but preferred (electric, mid-range price, upgradeable).
Eventually, I may go for something fancier, some of those recommended are very slick, or gift myself a hand-grind; I do enjoy the ritual for certain things, but I'm not there yet, for coffee -- props to those who put so much care into your brew!
Illness wrecked my enjoyment of many things until recently, coffee included, so it's exciting--if not a little daunting--seeing numerous home options available. It seemed like pour-over was just getting going in the US last time I had the will and energy to look into a better brew, so I'll be thrilled to have something nicer than my little Y2K era Krupps grinder (though the tiny beast is still kickin', haha), and slowly move into a variety of quality home brewing options, especially as winter approaches.
Yes, thank you! I'm delighted you beat me to it. It might be the only way to handle watching this festering chunk of fine cinema.
Also, how does Brundle Fly eat?
Well, damn. I did not expect to see the most attractive thing ever, tonight. There's a lot of talent, skill, and silliness to unpack in that photo.
Shit. Does that goes for ladies, too? Cause I might need to have a long talk with myself. Can it work that way? Can I instantly give myself another level of beautiful existential pain, like my bi friends?
Mannnnnn, every time I see one of these, I feel like I'm really missing out by not being bisexual. Damn. Guess I'll buy more books! Anyone want some tea or an iced coffee? You doing okay? Need anything? I'll totally run out in the rain, to get whatever you could possibly need to make your life better, if only for a moment. Really, I'm offering.
Super cute and fuzzy wuzzy until it's jumping spider season, and they're in the house, and jesus goddammit jumping spiders, I just cleaned up this shit, can you not web up the entire kitchen every fucking morning? Tiny ass Cirque du Soleil across the light fixtures, every damned day! Cute little shits.
