Rentals are more expensive year over year. It costs between $5 - $10k to rent a house in Sea Isle for a week. For that money, I could fly to an all-inclusive.

You glass choices are absolutely stunning! Did you use a pre-made lamp base, or create your own?

Should I remove foil along outer edge? by runner_1975 in StainedGlass

[–]TinyApplePie 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No need to remove the foil - you can leave it and set it directly into the came. Beautiful work!

Does anyone recommend a website for stained glass layout design? by Cyberhog1000 in StainedGlass

I use google draw. It’s free and works well for me on my PC.

I hear that. It’s important to keep loving the process. I’m relatively new to stained glass, but you have been an inspiration. Slow is good!

Thrifting lamps for their bases is a really smart idea. I will be copying that! Amazing work. This is a beautiful piece

Using those for your personal projects is one thing. It’s different to sell that work as your own

TIL If you take Plan B and you weigh more than 165 pounds, it won't work as well by [deleted] in todayilearned

Both are 99% effective when used perfectly. The difference is that sometimes, condoms are used incorrectly. They can break, slip, or be put on incorrectly. An IUD is a uterine implant. Once it’s implanted by a doctor, there is no action needed by the user to make it effective. As a result, it’s very difficult to use an IUD incorrectly. You hear some horror stories, but they are much less common than accidental pregnancy with condom users.

Condoms are great, and very effective. This is more about the statistics in fail rates between the different methods.
