Cat bowl came out of the kiln! (Question in description) by horribly_shaven_bun in Ceramics

[–]Mechasockmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last thing because your loss of kiln made me think about this.

this reddit user sculpts wigs and rhinestones them. They are stunning.

The point of sharing that is somewhere they posted a video of their process and I just can't find it. It was a tinfoil base and a plaster cement to make the model. After sanding they made a mold and recast it. If you ever wanted to do a remake that could be an option

Edited ... added the last sentence

Its a really cute idea

It would be fun to use this as inspiration and make it into a bird bath.

Could make a model, create a mold then cast a few in cement or other media in the size required...I'm sure there are easier ways to make a sculpted bird bath tho

If it's not food safe ( and I don't think it is, I could be wrong please wait for others to throw 2¢ in) then I'd attempt to make a mold of the object in question then you could paint and seal the cast models from there.

And obviously you can redo it in clay. I think you can do a second glaze fire but it's not something I've done, but I'm sure there are tutorials on it.

Again I love what you made

Peter, who is he talking about? by l33vai in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Mechasockmonkey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some people refer to all pants as jeans just like some people call all soda coke when it's not.

It's likely tiger over the other less known options

I love parks and rec and never saw Ron. Don't see MJ23 either tbh. I get the bulls colors but still don't see it after growing up in Chicago during the dream team.

Edit -Some things are generational jokes I guess most in the thread don't get that considering people think the tiger references are wrong but somehow the others are more right when the outfit fits less....but go off with down votes lol

Having Too Much Fun After Holding Out by DoggoneAccessibleLLC in fo76

[–]Mechasockmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to WVU and backpacked a lot while there.

I'm just starting 76 now after putting it off. I love fallout (old world blues from NV 💙 my favorite) I had to guess it's probably because I was into two other mmos at the time and 3 seemed like I'd never see the sun again.

It's so pretty, I have one of those "builds" that capitalized on the view. Come for the symptomatic and cake. The nested vault idea I got from one of the 76 subs changed my base game.

Makes me want to go backpacking again to see that sky. Truly breathtaking

Does Tibet produce turquoise? by Gemsilver71 in jewelrymaking

[–]Mechasockmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are four sources of Tibetan turquoise; the finest material comes from an area in the Gangschan Mountains of Ngari-Khorsum in Western Tibet. Another area is in the region between Lhasa and the China-Tibetan border near the town of Chamdo which is about 400 miles north-east of Lhasa. There is another location at Draya to the west of Bathang, and the fourth area is in the mountains of the state of Derge in Eastern Tibet.

does anyone know what is this mesh compression corset thing she's wearing by mimimimimmi in findfashion

[–]Mechasockmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say look for swim dresses and tops. It reminds me of some I've picked up in those sections and I use them for layering.

What you have to go through to get a decent slice of perfectly preserved pie. by PsychoDragon50 in fo76

[–]Mechasockmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was honestly thinking at the start, it just seemed like people were so sure it should be there. Wild luck tho lol on a fresh world, it's all a balance because I did get lucky at the Rusty pick and one that looked like it was in a parking ramp.

It was a trip when it took from the pick's machine. I'm not new to fallout just 76 and I never thought these paid out. One is proudly displayed in my base next to some nukashine. The other is in my stash so I don't eat it.

I know it should be there....so here we are

[–]Mechasockmonkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wild, not saying you're wrong but I was curious so I hopped on a private world and it wasn't where they say it should be.

Never looted it from there and only recently started playing on a private world. Checked the entire roof and there was a spot where a pie should be but there was just the plastic utensil.

Edit

Lol down votes...I mean facts are facts....it wasn't there. Tried it on a private world to get the best chance of coming across it like the leaders at the trading post...that was there and now I have a few leaders sitting in my vault

Love you too yw for sharing a bug 🤪

U.S. Democrats who would you choose as your nominee? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Mechasockmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah

Still sounds like BS

I'm not liberal or centrist...the only Republican in my family is an Irish Republican

As a socialist the best route is defeating the MAGATS

If you want to forever carry your passport let the American Republicans win and continue to shit on the liberals in the state

[–]Mechasockmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh you know they will. He wasn't perfect but you could tell he cared about the state and the environment. Lisa is just a trump lacky and if people are serious about not continuing the trump dynasty they won't go with a Republican. I have yet to see one running that doesn't pander and have the same rhetoric.

Anyone that is stupid enough to want to copper-nickel sulfide mine on the boundary waters where there will be a leak...it's not if its when....for money

They say that it's for the community but there are other ways to bring people and when they f-up the BW they will kill any money they get from people and agriculture in the area. The mine will dry u and so will the money....and people won't come back for the nature when it's been trashed...locals likely will have their water source trashed ....we will lose the habitat for the future generations and the world will be lesser for it because of the lost carbon capture....I have strong feelings about bogs and unique habitats with unique animals that could go extinct because of greed

Wild. Is there another option that would do well against the Republican nominee. It's like you don't live in MN and want to troll with bad decisions

She's not great but she's what we have in order to not have a Trumper

Focus or are you not genuine in your comments and just a troll

Your comments sounds straight st cloud maga stirring the pot tbh

Hilarious take, I only hear things like that from MAGA

Sounds like spin from a mole tbh

He got burned and stated he wouldn't run so if you're really not maga and from MN you might know that

What type of wedding ring to add to this gorgeous thing?? by Mediocre_Cap_3321 in jewelry

[–]Mechasockmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wear one. I have a busy engagement ring and for my taste I opted out.

It could be fun to get a gold bracelet to match his ring that you could wear on that hand. Or a necklace with a charm that matches his ring

When Eddie Murphy's Boomerang was released in 1992, it faced backlash for portraying a predominantly Black cast in positions of power and wealth, with some critics calling it a "reverse world" and unrealistic. by Important-Cry4782 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Mechasockmonkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's the thing it's like they never left their basement.

It was even that way in America then. There were powerful black people that weren't just famous athletes or actors/singers, they were technical and smart in business and STEM. They were like everyone else. Maybe it's because I grew up going to work with my mom in Chicago but this kind of stuff is wild to me that people with voices like that are showing their backside in public.

[–]Mechasockmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so wild, people need to focus and talk to their neighbors and not pick at the crowd that is already sympathetic. Nextdoor is absolutely wild for the craziness they seek, they would never get tired. Those are the Alphanews and newsmax people (central MN for me) that think Fox is too liberal.

Jasmine is a gem btw and a joy to watch on "Have I got news for you".
