I use little spacers in a jiffy. That's what I had to do when I bought out a retired harpsichord maker's stash of soundboards. They were huge and I had nowhere to put them. But it's not ideal. Airflow is important. It takes a very long time (3-5 years) to air dry timber for instruments. We want...

I'm not even a drum maker and this sent shivers down my spine. That's a very fast way to go bankrupt. The drums are made from a hollowed out log. If you put it on the ground the end grain is going to soak up moisture rapidly.

That's a lot of money down the drain considering each drum is made from a hollowed out log instead of being steam bent or made like a wine barrel.

So it would be interesting if Takuya is actually the older of the Kumagaya siblings, and he's now younger than her due to being spirited away for so long.

Let me provide some context. So on page 8 Ikura says "一緒にパキろ一よ". Which basically translates to "let's paki together". Pakiru means to take over the counter medication in order to get high (and you have to OD to do that). Paki is short for the SSRI antidepressant Paxil (パキシル) which is the where...

We're actually both wrong. The written Chinese script is dialect neutral (except for deliberately invented characters) so it's neither. I guess we all have some internal biases. Myself included.

Wtf is Ahiro? Guessing the translator doesn't speak Cantonese. His name is Wang in Jyutping. The 'a' is just a prefix that's said before a name when addressing someone. Mostly used for single character names.

No shit sherlock. Abstinence is of course the only way you can be 100% safe. But people f*ck. So either someone practises safer sex and gets tested often, or they don't. You can't equate the two. Motorcycle accidents are life changing while STIs can be treated. I don't understand how you can be...

I'm not arcosapphire, but am struggling to see where you're coming from here. At least where I'm from the de facto relationship status in the Family Law Act already applies to more than one partner. It just needs to be proven. BFAs can be used to secure and split assets in the event of a break...

It's likely a combination of country, culture, religion, and subculture. There are definitely cities and subcultures where consensual non-monogamy & polyamory are over represented. I remember 10 years ago I had never met a non-monogamous couple before. Can't say that's the case anymore.

I've never come across siblings like in this manga in real life. But I don't remember refuting you there? I have no angle here. I'm sorry if you've been tricked before. But it just didn't sit well with me when you said 99.9% of people are actively monogamous. It just doesn't quite add up in the...

[Redacted :)] Edit: That's also such a weird assumption to make about a stranger on the internet lol

I'm not quite sold on it yet. Let's see how it plays out

That's weird because it seems like every second person on dating apps is like "we practice ENM", "am poly'.

Doesn't HAVE to be incest. All sorts of way to run a polycule

Damn, ignorance really is bliss in your case. Dating apps and poor sex education have basically flipped the stats compared to 30 years ago. Traditionally at risk populations thanks to access to regular sexual health testing, and access to PrEP. Now it's the random guy or girl on tinder who is...

Yeah, I dunno about that. Threesomes are overrated imo, and not to mention awkward.

Lol, the irony here is that sex workers are way more on top of sexual health than you'll ever be.

Whoa, I'm sure most people just don't care. If that really is the case the person should do all they can to move into being "average". Hygiene, grooming, skincare, clothing etc. are all controllable factors. By the way, it's also awful being attractive. You stand out everywhere, sometimes...

Why am I not surprised that people on the internet really suck? I love me some schadenfreude too but you'll understand if your friends ever die in an accident.
