Exactly! Have fun!

Totally, and such a cheap hobby. I’m glad you’re inspired!

Plus you can just remake all the sheets you fuck up.

I’ve experimented with so many methods, best I’ve found for pure plant fibre sheets (if you don’t want to spend forever sponging) is to just flip your whole screen with the sheet onto whatever drying surface you use(as long as it’s smooth and flat) sponge the back through the screen, wait for it to dry a bit until the paper holds together on its own, then peel the screen off with a butter knife.

I’m sure you’ll figure out your own thing, though. Some people just leave them on the screens till dry.

Hi! Did you make paper yet? Maybe some day.

Come, friends.

The Big Cheese was funded by the same organization that created the Samurai Pizza Cats to justify their outlandish R&D budget. Pizza Cat technology was sunk cost the moment it came up in the boardroom. They’ve just been sending good money after bad for years.

I thought everyone was sexually attracted to all genders at least a little bit until I learned that no, straight people are actually straight.

My experience has been much different. I do everything from woodworking to Arduino to crochet, I’ve seen quite a few different group dynamics in gender and ages.

That’s not to say you’re wrong, lotta people have dumbass opinions on gender, but I’m so thankful I haven’t experienced much of that in the art world. The men’s sheds opening to women in the UK are a great example of positive change among the older generation.

Is it supposed to be narrow and hooked?

Oof, I lost finger-skin to that slidey bitch. Does that make carpentry and machining more or less manly?

There aren’t any more axes, unless you count the moving bed. The one I used didn’t need specialized tools to change the bit.

Why would women be uncomfortable about a dude joining if it’s not a gendered club? I haven’t met knitters of any age who wouldn’t be thrilled to talk wool weights and patterns with anyone. I’m a woman who’s been in and taught a ton of art and craft groups, they’ve all been mixed in age and genders. Art is for everyone.

Totally. Knitting is one of the most practical skills someone can have. It’s math, textiles, logistics, engineering, and cozy. You can also take control of what materials go into your clothing, too, like by sticking to organics and staying away from synthetics that break down faster and shed microplastics.

Hell, I got into fibre arts and went so deep I started visiting farms to buy my own fleeces, paying small hobby shepherds directly.

Ravelry.com (I’m not a shill, it’s just a great site) is good for searching patterns, organizing favorites, and it has a knitting calculator for conversions.

You don’t even have to knit a bowl to felt it, you can just felt wool roving over a flat circle form, cut it off, blow up a balloon inside and let it dry.

Last year I only needed a good miter saw. Now I know I’ll only be happy with a 5 axis CNC machine.

Does the dick get in the way of regular crafting?

edit for shilling: I started [email protected] a month ago. It’s for art sharing, show and tell, how-tos, discussions and challenges for a ton of different crafts. I’ve done damn near everything from machining to crochet, so I’m happy to help out. Bring whichever combination of genitals you prefer.

I aim to teach, not to shame. I had a few cooks who thought the same thing.

Paedophilia is the new Hitler of Godwin’s law.

Someone already mentioned the shared facilities thing that can lead to cross contamination. Another reason is: gluten-containing products aren’t intuitive. Soy sauce, malt vinegar, a lot of sauces and seasonings, most canned soups(where I live,) and some cheeses contain gluten.

Former head chef who’s worked in restaurants and production kitchens here. I made food for both immediate consumption, and package and sale. Food safety regulations will differ by location, as I once worked where three different regional health authorities ovelapped, but this is generally false.

In a commercial kitchens we weren’t allowed to sell expired food. The “Best Before” date is different, since it’s related to taste/texture, determined through structured testing, best educated guesses and/or personal tasting.

We kept dated boxes of products to taste ourselves every month, but also sent products to a lab to determine if the ingredients degraded or grew enough bacteria in different storage conditions to make it dangerous to consume. One caveat is when product quality degrades faster than it becomes a health risk, sometimes by years. Or, in the case of hard candy, probably never. In that case, companies might pick the longest range of time the product’s been tested — and that’s why you might see expiry dates on things that shouldn’t go bad.

Best before dates are guidelines, expiry dates are rules.

No prob, just happen to be putzing around and remembered what a pain it was to figure that out. Have fun!

Okay, so, the instructions aren’t super clear.
