Hello so I've been sanding up and down thinking I'm going with the grain here. Am I meant to be sanding diagonally? I'm making sure not to apply too much pressure either, but it's getting scratched. Thank you

Hello, I'm a beginner and trying to bring new life into my side table. Firstly I'm wondering what type of wood this is, I thought maybe radiata pine?

​

Secondly, I'm not sure how much grain can be visible on this type of wood, but the grain's coming out a little more as I've sanded it, if I sand it more would noticeably more of it become visible, or not a whole lot more than now? Thanks for the advice

The first time I went was last week to try the steak, jalapeño, and cheese and that one was so damn good, I forgot to take pics though.

​

Here I got the steak, chilli, and cheese and this one was bomb too. Never tried it before, but got it as they were out of the jalapeño one. The pastry smelt great, every bite got a good amount of chilli and the steak pieces were chunky and flavourful, though a tad chewy. Could have also done with a little more cheese, but overall I was stoked. I had richoux the other day too, and I have to say I prefer Julia's bakery for the jalapeño and this one, not to mention they're $3 cheaper a pie (Richoux's paua pie is mean though).

​

Also got their lamington, I prefer cream and a bit of jam in the middle of my lamington, but this was great and just a delicious lamington. I definitely recommend Julia's bakery, very friendly staff too.

Help would be appreciated. It was running great the first day I played, but now it keeps doing this. GPU is a 3050ti. Any tips would be hugely appreciated.

u/DucksofAucklandZoo recommended them, so thought I'd give them a try.

Pulling it out of the bag, the pastry smelt so good and buttery. 

The pastry tasted great too and was flaky on top, though a little too soft and wobbly on the bottom imo. The filling was very flavourful, and the choice to shred the beef and dice the jalapeños meant a more balanced flavour per mouthful. A bit more beef would've added to the flavour I think, as it being shredded meant I was hoping for a bit more beef each bite. Perfect amount of jalapeños for me, more than is present in the photo. Cheese tasted good, but a tad more would've been nice. Personally, I do prefer a firmer pastry, and chunks of beef with slices of jalapeño as it feels more substantial per mouthful, but doing what they did makes the flavour more balanced, and less a punch per bite so I get it. 

I'm curious to go back and try their Paua and steak and blue cheese too, but I wouldn't go back for the steak, cheese, and jalapeño as it's not how I like mine. A good pie though, I'd recommend it if you like their style as the flavour was delicious. u/DucksofAucklandZoo described them well when they said it was good but not the best. Sidenote, I really like that they had the 3 main golden circle flavours, a throwback that still holds up.

I have this cool Persian kilim that's older than I am, but it keeps moving every time I walk on it. I've tried using rug tape, the tape sticks to the carpet but not very well to the kilim.

I'd appreciate any ideas on how to get the kilim to stick to the tape, or stop it from moving on carpet

I have a Logitech combo touch, but that has been disintegrating slowly and I don't like how much bulk it adds. I wish Apple released the magic keyboard folio for the pro iPads.

Is there anything like this available for the pros that attaches with magnets to the back, has the kickstand and a detachable keyboard ?
