What… the fuck? Like… who enforced this? Because a computer by itself can’t do anything, like a robot didn’t burst out of the ceiling and snatch them up. Like. It doesn’t matter what the computer thinks, humans have to carry out the actions… so who the fuck looked at the computer saying “this infant is a terrorist” and went “yeah sounds about right”?
I think you dry them before you use them, so they’ll be just like any other basket! So probably not great to get it wet etc but it won’t rot. But also I suspect if you used the stems still fresh, they probably would just dry in the shape of the basket? My partner makes baskets out of other materials like tree bark and that just dries out.
oh wow :O that’s beautiful!! I would love to visit a place like this (or be part of creating one)
If OP hopes to retire or purchase a home (or farm land) someday, investing is pretty much a necessary part of that. I won’t say it’s true for every case but it’s probably true for OP. Spending all your money isn’t a great long-term financial strat (though the farmstead plan, if someone can somehow afford it without investing, seems pretty damn solid to me)
oh no
hehehe I’m guessing that didn’t work out super well for you
That sounds so cool! Do you have any posts with pictures or talking about how you did it? I learned how to make cordage once from wild materials but I don’t know much about it.
I love this idea!!
Hehe you might not work with small objects a lot! I have several little baskets, bowls and pottery pots about this size. The ones I can see right now contain my enamel pin collection, my hair accessories (bobby pins, clips, etc), my rings, and my earrings. I also have a little bowl for safety pins and another for wonder clips since I do a lot of sewing. This size could also scale up easily to hold straws, pencils, pipe cleaners, and anything else light, long, and narrow. I have previously used containers of this size to hold cool rocks and stickers too. And the writer of the post explains how you can make different shapes and sizes of basket, too, so you can upscale for your own needs!
But, as someone else said, sometimes it’s nice to just make a thing for the joy of making a thing c:
In the lower right quadrant over the bottom-most yellow mushrooms there seems to be a brown mushroom cap… growing out of another mushroom cap? Or hovering above a disconnected stem? Can a cap sort of grow from another cap? (Genuine question, I know nothing about mushrooms). My friend group would really love this one since they do all kinds of foraging and stuff but I’m not going to subject them to an AI image if I can help it, you know how it is
(Jokes aside, is this image AI generated? It’s hard to tell but it seems like it might be so I don’t want to reshare it…)
That’s totally okay!! Thanks for sharing so we can celebrate with you :D
yes please minnesota!! The more states that approve it, the more likely that my state will approve it. And I want balcony solar so badly
Like… the sun? Or do you mean deciding where to put the solar panels
that’s incredible!! Mind showing us a pic of your set up?
Very well written article. We need to hold CEOs responsible for hammering the delicate window of our spaceship
Gonna go against the grain here and give you some of the best advice I’ve received as a sewist: get your machine secondhand.
Thrift stores are a great place to look, or see if someone’s trying to get rid of a machine (talk to other sewists, we usually have extras), or even free piles on the side of the road. I got a fantastic machine from the 70s on the side of the road. You’re more likely to get an older machine if you go secondhand and older machines are more powerful, but delightfully, most secondhand machines function fine and are CHEAP. You don’t need to spend more than 100 USD on your machine. You probably don’t need to spend more than 50 USD.
Source: I patch and sew my own clothes as well as make quilts. I do not use an industrial or specialty machine.
My local library offers a selection of movies and a projector to watch them on! Honestly I think we should normalize going to the library for a date or hangout and, yeah, something like a regular Friday night library visit for movie night
You’re doing great. I’m in the US but I’m also slowly but determinedly switching to all open source software and local alternatives to big corps.
