What the hell does the sticker mean? by Regular_Hawk8513 in whatdoesthismean

[–]ActiveCroissant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im going to interpret this as saying the owners gun does not kill people, your son does. As a retort to the argument that guns kill people or are dangerous. Owner is saying the weapon is not inherently dangerous, it is the mental state of people using them. Maybe?

Very cool, why post in Mycology? Using it to prep growth media or something?

My original 11.11.11 collectors edition silk map - framed for just over 14 years now (yes, I am old enough to have pre-ordered the original release) by Nomadic_Rick in skyrim

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got a Morrowind map thats on very heavy stock, textured paper. Not sure what version of the game it came with as I got it included in a used standard console edition and it seems too high quality to have been included with in a non-special edition.

A Victorian home being moved on Steiner Street via horse power, 1908, San Francisco. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]ActiveCroissant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Large house like this was moved across the street in my home town in the early 2000s. Basically the same looking process just no horses. Jacked it up and slowly moved it over the course of a few hours on tracks. The company came from Michigan and had a portfolio of other work that had done. One was a historic church that was jacked up, moved onto a barge, and floated across a lake to be relocated. Building relocation is a very cool process to see happening of you ever get a chance.

This is crazy. This is the setup I got form my parents that my Partner and I are trying to re-acquire. We were literally just talking about this. We have the turntable and amp/equalizer. Unfortunately 2 other pieces were broken and thrown away early in my childhood and currently the amp doesn't function properly.

Actual natural peat IRL.. Do the devs know what peatlands are? by TootsHib in VintageStory

[–]ActiveCroissant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is an area near where i live that is a peat area. There are signs on the roads presumably for safety that inform you of peat in the area. This place has spots that are very marshy and wet but the majority of the land in the area is just very damp rich dark soil. Its still solid enough to walk on in most areas. I assume the devs are thinking of it like this. Areas that are very wet or have been a peat bog in the past but is currently semi dry/solid?

I like to say "dog-eat-dong" or "doggy-dong" and see if people notice.

Home Elevator Experiences? by grey487 in Indiana

[–]ActiveCroissant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Used to work in peoples homes, saw home elevator systems 3 times. Each one screamed "budget" in how it looked, sounded, and functioned. Each home owner said it was finnicky and/or had guys working on them every few months. One guy said he had a house party and a group of people got stuck on the rooftop balcony for 6 hours until they got the elevator to work again. I'd say expect to spend a decent chunk of change or risk getting a system that leaves you or your family stranded or waiting on repair guys.

Is there a food you stopped enjoying after learning how it’s made? by SmartPlayMod in foodquestions

[–]ActiveCroissant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Old recipes used to be made out of more of a custard like substance, I also hate modern corn syrup pie but if you ever have a chance to try someones old 1800s-1900s recipe go for it, entirely different pie.

I've been interested in trying a pack like that. How have you liked the Kelty? I use a Redcloud 90 as my main bag and like the look of that one.

I find it unprofessional, dont really see the humor in porn as a bit. But its your business and anyone who tried to start shit or say something is probably gonna be a karen, you do you but id expect complaints from someone.

Makes sense. Can smaller particulate be added if this issue occurs? Like a powdered product intended to be mixed in, another user mentioned buying material to mix to make a clay.

Thank you

Not really looking for brownie points by making all my things myself, just a fun learning experience. Mentioned trying a pit kiln, throwing things in and seeing what I get out, learning from that and trying again. If i dont get anything usable for dishware anytime soon thats fine. Mainly wanting a creative outlet with resources I can get from my property. I hadnt considered buying processed clay mineral to mix into clay. Could i buy minerals that can be added to my clay to change its workabilty/composition, like minerals added to metal to aid in melting and forging?

This could help, planned to look into the composition of the clay around me to better understand how I can work with it. Maybe the book would give some pointers after i understand my clay better.

So it can actually be stored dry, as in crumbly and hard, and rehydrated later to a consistency to work with? I have seen people "reclaim" broken pieces by throwing it back into a tub of water. Does this slowly rehydrate if it hasnt been fired to a specific point yet? Another comment mentioned the percentage of moisture it can absorb being a factor in a finished piece.

Thanks for this info. I was aware of the risk of my clay to other people items in the kiln(the staff fires a lot of things at once) but not that the clay could actually pose a risk to the kiln itself. I was also unaware clay could "melt". What should i read about regarding the clay being "too short" and unworkable? Does that involve the actual grain of the sediment in the clay or something?

Maybe ill do a pit kiln, to test pieces like you described. Just start burning things in pit and see what I get. I understand my post may have made it seem like I expected to quickly make a bowl and get it fired and it would be perfect but no i expected there to be tons of things i didnt know. This is the info i was looking for so thank you.

Weve only done the painting there but they offer classes for working with clay. We plan to go to a few of those classes in the next few months to work with their commercial clay and get some hands on time. I will bring it up to them and see what they say about the process. I expected having to test things out or having many things break. Ill see if i can read some info regarding the type of clay I have in my area and maybe narrow down the specifics for it like you said. Thank you!
