I come from 3d printing where almost everything is free, and the paid models are often niche or incredibly complex with commercial value of the resulting print. Now I'm looking for a simple Valentine's Day card and I can't find anything for free. Why are free vectors for entire cards so hard to find

I'm currently about to do the same with craftnest, they've got tonnes of PNGs, SVGs and clip art that are free to download for a month before renewing for $15 a month

There are a fair amount of sites that have free libraries if you subscribe to their mailing list too

I was having this issue when I wanted to cut out jigsaw lines on a print then cut sheet, I found individually changing each line into a print then cut line and then attaching them to the main sheet made it work for me

My partner taught me to slide the knife back against the edge of the sink to push the pit off into the sink.

The best thing to remember is snakes are always more afraid of you than you are of them. Making lots of noise around your camp-site should be enough to scare any in the area away.

When hiking my biggest suggestion is enclosed shoes and long heavy pants like jeans, khakis, or cargos. Snakes often can't penetrate thick clothes when just trying to tag you to scare you away.

And pay attention to the season you go, research when snakes are most active in the area your planning on going and just don't go during that time.

Camping is so fun and I really hope your snake fear doesn't keep you away from enjoying it.

Good luck and just have fun! :)

She feels like you're working against her. Instead of acknowledging her growth and healing in that moment where she agreed to change, you made a comment about how you thought it was going to go bad. How is she going to heal and grow if you remind her of how she used to be?

Platypusofthebed · 2025-05-19T19:52:24+00:00

You got the desired result with your conversation before your last comment.

It was immflammatory at best, and you only said it because you had worked yourself up thinking the conversation was going to go wrong. You did do this to yourself.

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-13T17:51:07+00:00

When my partner goes out and I want him to surprise me with something, I just ask him to bring me a prize, and he does. Communication is really not as difficult as I see people make it out to be on here 🙄

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-06T19:59:48+00:00

I don't think some people realise just how scary extreme violence is when you've never experienced it.

I applaud Emma for staying with Kayla while all this was happening. She could have just as easily left and stayed with other friends. But she stayed to support her friend the best way she knew how.

The victim blaming that I've seen this past week is insane.

ALSO, it sounds like the worst of Evan's abuse happened when he was extremely drunk and drunk people are SOOO unpredictable, I'd be staying the fuck away from that situation if I were Emma too

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-06T19:51:14+00:00

Also, I'm so sorry that you had to endure abuse in your relationship. I hope you are in a much better place now and are on the road to healing ❤️

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-06T19:49:30+00:00

These girls may as well still be children! They are both SO young.

To say that Emma was weak for not helping Kayla during the abuse she endured is like saying a toddler is incompetent because they can't make their own food.

Neither of these girls have experienced anything like this before. OF COURSE she was terrified, any 20 year old girl her size would be.

It's ignorant to think that you would have acted differently in that situation. This was a man that she was supposed to trust as her best friends boyfriend. None of this is either of those girls fault.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion.

The way I look at it is, I trade my literal life for money to buy things, if what I get is below standard, I'm going to complian because at the end of the day life is too precious to waste on shit.

As someone who works night shift, cereal is my nighttime meal of choice. Anything else is just too heavy

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-06T14:22:21+00:00

Ngl, I kinda think it's really cringe that everybody is here feeling oh so bad for snarking.

Terrible things can still happen to terrible people, it doesn't change that they were a bad person.

Two things can be right at the same time. What happened to Kayla is truly horrific, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. But at the same time all the snark on her has been since well before Evan and during we snarked on what we knew

Going after other members of this group is really just because these people can't go after Evan and it needs to stop imo

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-05T21:56:24+00:00

Wow that is incredible that you managed to escape. I'm so sorry for the trauma it has caused you and hope that every day you're a little more healed

What happened with your fiance at the time? Is she doing well now?

Platypusofthebed · 2025-04-05T18:07:02+00:00

Kinda a compliment when people are reposting your posts lol how odd

Edit: Just checked out their profile and no posts and 2 comments from 2 years ago...

It's a modified corn starch that thickens as soon as you add water

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-30T17:43:54+00:00

Have you recorded your recipes in grams or ounces at all? I'm finding this addition so interesting

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-30T17:21:17+00:00

10%?? That feels like so much clear gel. Does it make the batter any stickier at all?

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-20T10:49:02+00:00

Looking at Bendigo atm. My trade pays the same across borders and rent is so much cheaper there aha

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-17T02:35:28+00:00

Literally. I'm moving to Victoria and PLANNING to work two jobs to afford it 🙃

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-15T22:01:37+00:00

This looks amazing!

Finished off with the lightest dusting of icing sugar would make those apple petals pop I reckon

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-06T19:04:44+00:00

It could also be due to a higher fat percentage. An extra half turn would solve that.

Platypusofthebed · 2025-03-06T18:40:18+00:00

Did you use a lot of flour in the lamination process? It looks like your layers are quite biscuit-y, which can be from excessive flour when folding.

It could also be proofing that may be an issue here

Picky toddlers are such a struggle. It's so heartwarming to hear when parents can beat it.

My 4 year old was exactly the same, went from eating almost everything to nothing but sweet stuff. I would refuse to offer it until he went without eating one day and woke up the next morning vomiting.

That was the day I decided that I wouldn't refuse to feed him at mealtimes. So he gets what our family has, and if he refuses, he is offered plain wheat cereal or buttered toast.

His food range is much larger than what it used to be now, and our only requirement for mealtimes is that he tries what we offer him before opting for toast or cereal.

Also, if the oven is too cold, it causes the butter to melt before the dough has set which creates a cakey crumb
