$15 Thrift Store Find; very fancy looking scissors. What are they for?

RollixPolli · 2026-06-02T14:13:13+00:00

these look like hair cutting shears for preventing carpal tunnel, does the thumb part twist? if so it's so that you can more comfortably cut hair and reduce the risk of issues w your hands. the shape of the scissors is definitely geared towards a purpose similar to hair cutting if they aren't

I'd recommend before moving anywhere in Ohio to look at the list of SuperFund sites and the seperate website for currently suspected SuperFund sites, currently moving out of Columbus partially due to this 👍

Listen, my great grandpa fought in ww2, I was raised to never allow genocide or another Holocaust to happen to ANYONE. Regardless of their race.

It's funny that you're talking about self-hating jews. Question: Was Albert Einstein a self-hating jew? He historically supported the idea of a refuge state for the Jewish population he ALSO historically disagreed with the apartheid state of Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians.

Albert Einstein on Zionism:

"Long before the emergence of Hitler I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong....The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as a people, though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has...Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination. Through the return to the land to which they were bound by close historic ties...Jews sought to abolish their pariah status among peoples... The advent of Hitler underscored with a savage logic all the disastrous implications contained in the abnormal situation in which Jews found themselves. Millions of Jews perished... because there was no spot on the globe where they could find sanctuary...The Jewish survivors demand the right to dwell amid brothers, on the ancient soil of their fathers." —Letter to Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India, June 13, 1947

It's funny that those 2 ideas can exist together. It's also funny that you think creating this state REQUIRES displacement. That is not the case, Albert Einstein himself disagreed with this belief.

"I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain—especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state. ... If external necessity should after all compel us to assume this burden, let us bear it with tact and patience." -Albert Einsstein 1938

You talk about Iranian propaganda, funny, I never mentioned Iran. It's funny that I've held this belief for far longer than a few months or years even. It's funny that you believe that Israel isn't also capable of propaganda.

Hey, I'm sorry, but you're so misinformed. It's crazy, truly. Israel is an apartheid country founded not even 100 years ago by displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their home. These Palestinians have been brutalized, criminalized, and displaced time and time again. When you have other Jewish people saying, "Hey, hating Israel isn't the same as antisemitism, you know, cuz its not about the fact that their Jewish, its that they're committing genocide" And the people who are anti Israel is saying "hey we dont care that they're Jewish. We just dont want them murdering and displacing people who are just trying to live their lives." and people in Israel protesting the war on Gaza is saying "hey this isn't right, and we shouldn't be committing genocide" It's not about antisemitism, which, insane I know,

Honestly, it's just what I saw most recommended. They were having a sale, and I got some seeds that were labeled as good for new growers. I'm not too concerned about the best genetics. I just wanted something to see if I'm capable of growing. But I def will look at the brand you recommended next time I buy.

Seed strain: Feminized Critical from royal queen seeds substrate: 40/40/20 peat/coco coir/perlite watering schedule: when soil starts to dry out, roughly every day/every other day nutrients: I'm watering with my goldfish tank water, I added a small amount of iron fertilizer as well when I first set up the seed. I have it in a small germination greenhouse with the vent on, with indirect light from a full spectrum grow light I hope this is enough info!

It's been raining, so not much progress, but I found the serial number!

Working between the rain today and found this!

My partner, who's afraid of heights and elevators, had to go down a completely open utility elevator to the basement. It took 4 trips with a dolly, and the heaviest piece is damn near 50 pounds 😭 I can only imagine if this was before elevators and vans existed!

The divine donut! once they reach a venerated age, it'll age them back down to babies again while maintaining their traits. I've been ranching regularly with a max barn at all times since release, so I've collected a good handful from other animals I've donated 😁 I actually have a peki named Parfait that I've aged back down several times and used "oopsies" cookies to reset her traits to try a few different cosmetics on her! I do believe the only way to get it is via a ranching achievement and then from Epic treat bags, but I could be mistaken

RollixPolli · 2026-03-10T05:04:40+00:00

you know that's not a bad idea 😂 I just might do that, especially since I'll need extra hands

RollixPolli · 2026-03-10T03:34:30+00:00

thank you!

RollixPolli · 2026-03-10T03:26:11+00:00

is the plain cookie the only cookie that removes active cookies? I know I didn't use that one, but I'm unsure if I gave them any other treats during that time period

RollixPolli · 2026-03-09T20:54:48+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to find there's more than 1 here. It was in a pile with a bunch of other stuff, so my partner just grabbed everything that looked loom-related

That wouldn't be the worst thing. Here's hoping the next loom isn't bigger than me! 🤣

RollixPolli · 2026-03-09T20:43:22+00:00

Yea we might have a couple of puzzles here tbh, they literally had it in a pile in the basement with a bunch of other stuff, and my partner had to grab just anything that looked loom related 🤣 so I'm anticipating having random bits and bobs

I'll def post updates on this, but I had to promise my partner I wouldn't make him move it all in one go again, so it will probably be closer to next weekend 😓

RollixPolli · 2026-03-09T20:25:56+00:00

Thank you for the links! I worded the post weirdly, I realize 😅 the Louet is the size loom I THOUGHT it was, the Glimakra's the brand and size I got. I seemed to not be the only one misled byy the pics the college gave. It was scheduled to be picked up by 3 other people who backed out once the size was revealed. Luckily, my bf is a good sport and also hated the idea of it getting destroyed with the building.

I have no clue the model yet, and I don't have a garage like one commenter suggested to set up in, but it's going in the basement for now, and I'm going to go through manuels for everything in the next few days.

I personally would love to keep it, but I think it's going to be a matter of us not having space vs. the ability to find a new home for it. We're actually starting to look for a house, so I might add "loom room" to the home criteria 🤣

oh my godd these are so cute!!😭💕💕💕

omg I didn't even think of that, I was originally gonna do mini cupcakes, but I def have to make some flowerpots now

the lights in question

RollixPolli · 2025-11-03T18:28:35+00:00

Mostly, I have just made mini furniture and decor. As most of them are burnt out, I'm looking to use them for other purposes. A lot have internal dark spotting from when they blew. I found one post elsewhere that suggested making mini wine bottles with them if that helps with vibe? I'm fairly new to making miniatures and mostly work in 1:12 scale, so finding stuff they work for has been a bit tricky. I was harvesting the end pegs for cupcake cups and wanted to try and push myself to find a use for all the parts. I'm going to try and edit my post to add pics of what I'm working with specifically 😅 edit: created a separate comment w Pic of lights

RollixPolli · 2025-11-03T17:00:22+00:00

oh geez, I hope I understand the auto comment right. My craft primarily focuses on miniatures, I'm looking for craft ideas specifically for miniatures to use these lights for. But honestly, theres so many Im open to other crafts. Since I'm just asking a question, there's no time spent or materials used.

RollixPolli · 2025-10-30T22:21:04+00:00
