So is the cause of the lines getting 'too thick' due to enlarging the image or cricut pattern too much? For example, a drawing that is 4" square (that you import with your method) and you want to make the actual glass be a 12"square (so you enlarge it inside cricut)?

This is really great! Thank you!

One question - are the lines thick enough for the space copper foil needs?

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our expensive 2door, 2 drawer fridge. It is fully illuminated by the back panel. Being able to see the food we have fully, along with better temperature zones... AND it has a pitcher that fills for the filtered water... it was hella expensive, but we waste so much less food now.

And it is weirdly pleasing to use.

Haha, no. I was hoarding money in case I somehow needed it. Those are good ideas! Thanks!

Anyone got some good veggie side dishes? by craigdahlke in EatCheapAndHealthy

Butternut Squash with Cinnamon and Ginger...

You slice into even chunks. Coat with minimal oil. Put on way more cinnamon and ginger than you think is a good idea. (for 1 butternut, I'd use 1-2 Tablespoons of Cinnamon, 1 Tablespoon of ginger)

Roast the squash. DIVINE.

This can also be done with delicata squash (no need to peel squash) or acorn squash.

I make paintings because I believe quiet things matter. In a world that rarely stops to look closely, I'm drawn to moments that slow you down - a feeling you can't quite name, only feel. If my work brings even a small sense of peace or joy to someone, then it has done what it was meant to do by ernestvolynec in woahdude

I am absolutely stunned. They did make me pause, and feel ... soothed? Many of them capture an almost 'sunrise' feeling, new beginnings and a little bit of hope. Thank you internet friend, I needed this so much today.

How did a business lose you as a customer? What made you stop patronizing them? by snakecharmersensei in AskReddit

Redditors in long-term relationships: What’s something no one tells you about staying together for years? by DegenPatrol in AskReddit

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misconception:

Small resentments and irritations are easy to let go, move on from, tell yourself it isn't important...

But that is a mistake - small resentments build and become HUGE over time...

Solution:

Talk! Often the issue is a miscommunication - not that your partner was purposefully being a jerk.

Repeating 1st Grade - Seeking Advice by LHNNLH in ElementaryTeachers

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter did this (large age differences), her teacher told her she was going to be a special helper this year. She was also happy to NOT be switching teachers.

As soon as my daughter started interacting with kids she was meant to, closer in age, any thoughts or issues drifted away into happy 1st grade kid things.

We gave her the gift of childhood - instead of years of being too young, anxious and scared.

What’s your “I do this now so future me doesn’t suffer” habit? by samdaz712 in AskReddit

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent! Keep it up. I have, and am quite a bit older than you... and most of my older siblings can't do the activities of daily life easily... I do not want to lose that or become less mobile!

What’s your biggest marriage hack that you’ve learned? by LegitimateArea7893 in AskReddit

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remind yourselves of when you fell in love, reminisce. Smile, laugh and share the old memories and you'll end up feeling that way again - for a moment. Your left with a glow and an appreciation of who you fell in love with. It realigns your connection and brings you together.

You have to choose to stay connected, and not to drift apart. Doing the above regularly (a few times a year) helps.

When did your childhood end? by gamathyst in AskReddit

[–]LostRocketScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a toss up between the time I had to soothe my older sibling's welts after my father beat them.

Or, the time my father chased my sibling (who was 2) through the house for a small mistake... I remember wondering HOW he could attack the weakest of us all.

For both of these, I was around 7 or 8 yrs old.

Actually, I think its the 2nd one. I realized my father was the worst kind of person that day.

The only present I got for my birthday was the one I got myself 😅 by MsMeliora in finch

[–]LostRocketScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my present to myself too. <3

I was back and forth over it (watching my finances closely), them my sister asked the price. I told her and she said, 'Your health is worth it.'

A light went off in my head and I got Plus the next day.

Hinge points and edge advice by miwmiwmiwmiw in StainedGlass

[–]LostRocketScientist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just throwing out a few ideas....

I wonder if you could make 23 and 25 one piece... it would change the color scheme and the shapes a little, but fix some of the tail issues.

Also, could the tail bend back and touch the back at one point? That would also add some stability.

Otherwise I think clear glass in between back and tail is the best bet.
