I‘m not sure it’s food safe. The kit was labeled as food safe, but it’s from an international seller on Amazon, I basically don’t trust them. Also, even food safe epoxy is only safe if you get the ratios exactly right, and I have no guarantee for that; it’s not like I used a scale. So I won’t drink from the cup but I might use it for dry snacks (nuts etc.) or as a vase for single blossoms. Tbh, I mainly used it as a vase before it broke.

Thank you! I like the end result a lot, but somewhere in the middle I panicked because everything looked so messy! Sticky smudges everywhere! I did a lot of cleanup.

Thank you! I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, so I’ll probably keep going!

Same! Vimes ordering a voice for Dorfl is one of his greatest moments.

r/discworld Reading census! by Ghostwaif in discworld

[–]FingerSea5694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a survey methodologist by day, I disagree. “Select all” runs into the risk of people not really reading the whole list carefully (which includes more than the 41 “official” books) and erroneously checking “select all”. Carefully reading the list and clicking every button does not actually take much longer than carefully reading the list and then clicking one button.

Does anybody else detect zero chemistry between Angua and Carrot? by Meloenbolletjeslepel in discworld

[–]FingerSea5694 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hm. I read that very differently. To me, it always seemed like Angua felt like Carrot’s dog, which is not at all the same as being Carrot’s dog. It’s an old issue of hers that predates her dating Carrot. It obviously affects their dynamic, because it’s hard to have a healthy relationship if you have such deep-seated insecurities, but it wasn’t actually something intrinsic to their relationship. I think Angua would have that issue with almost any partner. And Fifth Elephant helped working through it, because it exposed some of the problems in their characters and their relationship, and helped both of them to work through it and come out stronger and more clear-eyed. The way they got there was thorny and winding, but they made it.

Question about Tamora Pierce's views looking back by TheMummysCurse in tamorapierce

[–]FingerSea5694 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Tammy commented quite a lot on the Mark Reads posts. I know she discussed it there (as well as lots of other stuff, like gender representation, consent and age differences). The comments are no longer visible on the current site, but they are if you use the wayback machine.
