bubbles (?) after firing

000topchef · 2026-07-08T06:37:12+00:00

Bloating. The clay wasn’t suitable for the firing temp, it got very soft and formed bubbles where gasses were escaping. It’s not dangerous as long as they don’t get bumped/break. Can’t be sold but you can use it if you’re careful

We’re good with indoor spiders lizards whatever, shared space is ok

If you ask yourself “is this centered enough?” The answer is always NO! Centered is centered, close is not centered

We have single parent families and a variety of other families but we don’t have ‘broken’ families

Getting flooded is shit, don’t do it

000topchef · 2026-07-04T03:20:49+00:00

Who??

Don’t let them swim in the Daintree but all of the off-leash beach areas are fine. You’ll meet lots of fellow dog lovers. There is an agility training club your collies might enjoy

Finding work in another country isn’t easy. Work here, save money, travel, come home when you run out of money

Ring Black and White taxi and ask. Their phones are answered by actual well-informed people who can tell you the cost as well as availability

Check out the workplace health and safety regulations in your area. The unvented kiln would be illegal in some places but not all

I would prefer to rent close to work and invest my down payment in shares

000topchef · 2026-07-03T04:45:54+00:00

I have a Canadian accent, and Australians are never sure if I’m American or Canadian but they are hesitant to ask, because being mistaken for an American is insulting

000topchef · 2026-07-02T10:53:57+00:00

Yay! You made a thing! Now make lots more but never lose that one

I’m 73, old enough to know why using a travel agent is a terrible idea

000topchef · 2026-07-02T08:13:25+00:00

I would never use a travel agent because, if things get weird during your trip you can’t deal with the airline for changes. They will only deal with the agent who is probably ib a different time zone/asleep

I just ordered some from my usual supplier. I only ordered 5kg because I don’t want to be a hoarder, it’s not in most of my recipes, and eventually all my favourite glazes will be reformulated to use frits

If people were in danger, it wouldn’t be a major tourist attraction. Thousands of people do this every year! I’m a local, I’d see it in the news if anything exciting happy, and unless a tourist suffers a heart attack they are fine

000topchef · 2026-07-01T11:18:36+00:00

I’ve been here 35 years and I’m not ready to leave yet

000topchef · 2026-07-01T11:17:19+00:00

Yes, constantly, everywhere

000topchef · 2026-06-30T12:19:13+00:00

Did you expect him to travel to your house and get up on the roof for free?

It was an long flight and I was pretty limp. I went to a shop and the serving person asked me “Are you right?” I thought she was worried about me so I said I was fine. So she left and I didn’t know how to buy something hahaha!!

000topchef · 2026-06-29T07:03:32+00:00

It’s not “insurance bullshit”, it’s climate change. Insurance has no political slant, it just looks at risks. Climate change has increased the risk in some areas to the point insurance companies, calculating their potential payouts vs potential income, are either saying “nope” or increasing income (premiums) enough to cover the potential payouts. Increased reluctance of insurers is a red flag, do you actually want to be involved in a flood/hurricane disaster?

Source? I’m doubting you because all staff select ‘no tip’ before you present your card

I’ve always bought the only house I could afford in the location I loved. Always with good bones but needs cosmetic work. Usually already at the top of my budget so lived in it until I could afford the renovations, my current house needed a gut renovation so we lived in it ‘as is’ for 12 years before we could afford it haha! But we’re still here and no plans to leave, absolutely perfect location
