New & All is a great way to discover new communities

I usually buy multiple pairs of the same sock and I inevitably wind up with just one lonely sock remaining :/

OP’s source points to an unavailable youtube video, unfortunately

E: someone else posted the sources from the reblog notes (I don't know how tumblr works, I was only looking in the comments - whoops)

I definitely hope the trend continues, though not necessarily replacing consoles as an entity. I’ve an Aya Neo 2021 (first gen) and it’s been amazing. I have a hard time staying in one place and actually committing to sitting down at a console / desktop to play games, I don’t like gaming on laptops to much, and the Switch has a limited library; so a handheld PC specifically made for gaming has been fantastic. It’s so nice to just pick up and be able to play whereever, and I’m very glad to see that it seems like handheld PCs are here to stay

There’s better licencing options for libraries now that allow librarians much better control over getting their patrons the books they want, you should give it another go.

Libraries can buy metered access and one copy one circ, and depending on how the library’s consortium agreement is, usually home patrons holds will get advantage over same-system-but-different-home-library holds; so those will still have the ‘limited like a physical book’ restriction, but you’ll have priority if your library bought a copy. We also use Cost Per Circ, and so as long as our monthly budget hasn’t been met, any books I’ve added as part of our CPC collection can be taken out instantly by my patrons even if the wait time would’ve been months long due to how many people are on hold. If the budget has been met, those holds on CPC titles will be filled once the 1st of the month rolls around and the budget resets.

Give it another try, and put the books you want on hold. Librarians have a harder time knowing what their patrons want when they don’t have data because patrons don’t place holds. I’ll add books to CPC whenever I can, even if there’s only one or two holds on a title

All three are amazing! If I had to pick one though I’d go with the one on the left

My friends and I did this too lol

In 2, we'd also try to jump on each other's heads without them noticing

Awesome, I hope you like them!

7g per side is definitely a little on the light side, especially for learning. The lighter the set, the more precise your timing has to be, which makes getting the feel for it a decent bit harder.

I'd aim for at least around 17g for the set, preferably ~20g. The Mini Hydras (~20g) will do you so well, imo. They're a fantastic weight not only as a first set, but you literally cannot outgrow them. They're just as suitable for advanced tricks as they are for learning, which is why pros love them too. If there's one set I could pick for an all around 'best' set for everyone, I would say the Mini Hydras are it.

The Modern Standard Heavy is also a good set, but it comes in at 28g which is heavy. Just like a set that's too light, too heavy can make getting the feel for it more challenging as well, plus they tire your hands out a lot more than a mid weight set.

Yeah they’re super useful! But don’t be afraid to find a different tutorial. The ones they have are great, but the embedded video controls make it tough to scroll back a few seconds - plus other videos may explain it differently which winds up clicking better for you!

Yep!

Fun hobbies 😉

Let me know what you wind up going with and how you like it!
