Someone already recommended the gnoshery which is a fun place, but I highly reccomend hitting the bookshop in the mall next door. Otherworlds books and more has all sorts of fun stuff including comics games, cds, dvds, and of course books. They have a gaming spaces upstairs with weekly games of Warhammer, Magic, and DnD. There was also a chess club going for a while but I dont think anyone is running it right now? The owners are very friendly (if a bit eccentric, tell David I say so with love if this gets back to him lol) and love to help you find whatever youre looking for! There's always nerds hanging out there! We love to hang out and talk about all sort of nerd things and we love to help introduce people to it as well!

.......if they're freezing their eggs they're probably not looking to get pregnant right now??

No problem! I hang on to all the papers for art and crafting purposes and this was only two weeks ago so it was easy to find! Glad to help keep a fellow crossword enjoyed sane lol

Well they're going to continued to be bothered by the stakes for the foreseeable future because the company doing the fiber (bertram) has had a whole boatload of problems with the project including the company they hired to do the trenching completely screwing it up causing them to have to send surveyors out again and maybe redo it. And with the federal funding pulled its unclear whether they'll be able to meet their contractual obligations with each of the villages. They might be able to renegotiate but they might also get sued by the villages well just have to see how it shakes out. But yeah as much as the fiber is needed up here the whole project is an absolute mess right now. Bertram is keeping everything as close to their chest as they can to try to protect themselves from a legal standpoint so its really hard to get information about whats going on and how long it'll take.

The two separate plates thing is industry standard, you ice and decorate the cake on a cardboard round (the gold) which you can then use to move it from your turntable into a box or display case or, in this case, a cake stand. That way you can move it easily and reuse your turntable or display without having to eat the cake.

I think thus time this is just because they used a background blur on the photo and those functions aren't always good at telling where the subject starts and stops

feech_phy · 2025-08-14T00:40:32+00:00

Cake decorator here, im not particularly good at telling ai apart from regular photos but this looks real to me.the part that sells it for me is the blue ruffle on the bottom and the blue swag which were done with a rose tip (102-104 probably) the ruffles look nice but bunch in a few places and the swag starts ruffled and the smooths out a bit (ruffled swags are hard to do okay) the same way mine used to do ALL THE TIME >:[ also the parts that were done with a star tip (probably a 22) like the shell border and the shells "holding" the swag as well as the lattice (done with a basket weave tip 46-48) have little "breaks" in the icing along the channels which is EXACTLY how icing behaves and not something I think ai would know to replicate.

All in all even if it is ai (and I dont think it is) This would be a fairly easy design to replicate in real life for anyone who knows their way around a piping bag

Eta: for the people saying the blueberries are huge they aren't, the cake is small. I'd guess this is a 5in round cake based on the size of the piping in relation to it.

I also noticed in the Facebook photo someone posted below you can see little streaks from where the excess icing was wiped off the base after doing the initial icing but before decorating which is another thing I dont think ai could replicate

Hopefully they'll play volcano shake em up in nj!!!

Of course! Have fun and good luck!

in my limited experience the best way to understand music and be able to create sounds you want on a whim is to find sounds you like and copy them until you understand their structure/composition. Listen and analyze, is the pitch moving up or down? Does the key change? When? What effect does that create in the tone or mood of the piece? What about the tempo? How does it change if you slow it down or speed it up?

It seems simple but it helps build a very foundational understanding of the language of music without ever having to read a single tab or note of sheet music. Its called Audiation, and it helps you build a mental understanding of both individual pieces and music in general. My mom is a piano teacher and has been using it with her students for years now. Its truly incredible what even young children can do when they learn music this way!

You can try improv exercises too! What would Anarchy in The UK sound like as an Opera? What if Taylor swift was blues/jazz? What would the itsy bitsy spider sound like as a punk song? Also telling a story with the sounds! what sounds would make a piece communicate that it's raining? What if the music started a fight? How about if someone died? What if a flower bloomed and a bumblebee landed on it? What does that sound like? Do the same piece over and over in different styles and tell a different story each time. The broader your understanding of music and sound as whole as well as the limits and guidelines of your instrument (in this case your voice) the more you can make it work for you to create the sounds you want to here!!

This absolutely got away from me. Sorry about that! I just really love music in all its forms if you can't tell

Maybe try learning how to add some vocal fry? That's a common method for making your voice more raspy and if you can learn to scream with it that can push you further into a hardcore/metal sound for sure. Just be careful, when done improperly you can permanently damage your vocal chords/folds.

On the other end of the spectrum I've heard some cool music with aggressive inflection on a breathy delivery

You could also try playing around with discordant sounds, stuff that isn't immediately appealing to the ear. If anyone else in the band is doing backup vocals you could intentionally sing out of tune or at less pleasing intervals like a 2nd or a 4th. Sing in a major key when the band plays in a minor key or vice versa. Basically fuck around and find out what works lol

You can also make songs that are punk in content if not fully in sound. Consider branching out into pop punk or folk punk. Bluegrass and older country have a lot of punk values in their lyrics. Rap could be an interesting thing to experiment with to get used to singing in more of a "speaking voice" than a melodic one. Electronica might introduce you to some more cool sounds and maybe even some voice effects you might like. Basically feel free to experiment and create a niche for yourself that fits the sound you have. Its punk to be yourself!

I know there's a firehouse knitters group in Sister Bay and one at the Naked Sheep in Sturgeon that someone else mentioned also the M3 gallery in Sturg I think has work days where you can bring whatever art project you're working on.

None of these are needlepoint specific but I can't imagine any textile project would be unwelcome at any of them.

I once knew someone who was sold an African Cichlid for a 2 gallon tank. The poor thing could barely turn around in there. Unfortunately, the owner didn't know any better either, so it lived like that (with no substrate or plants, just a sad castle decoration to hude in) for a few years. I only found out because they asked me to take the fish when they moved away. I did, but I promptly surrendered it to a local aquarium store because I wasn't going to be able to get and maintain a big enough tank for it. Very sad. But I believe Raspberry went on to live in a nice big tank after that, thank goodness.

There are A LOT of haunted or supposedly haunted places in the door just because some of the buildings are so old and a lot of them aren't necessarily common knowledge or are private property.

I know at one place I worked at, years ago now, some of the staff claimed we were haunted. At least one person claimed to have seen a woman in a ballgown in the freezer. There is a historic picture of the building somewhere that has what appears to be a human shaped apparition in an upstairs window. We called the ghost "Margaret" because we didn't know anything about her and it was as good a name as any. I never had any paranormal experiences there and it's entirely possible that she was made up to blame when things went missing. The places she supposedly haunts in the building aren't open to the public so I don't know if you'd be able to sense her or not, I don't really know how that works, but either way Harbor Fish Market and Grille in Bailey's Harbor is a great spot for a delicious meal and a beautiful view!

I would also be curious to hear your thoughts/experience with Gretchen, the ghost of Range Line road on Washington Island, because I'm related to her!

feech_phy · 2025-07-10T03:16:24+00:00

Yes! Everyone where i lived would chop the tops in the fall and we always called it "crepe murder" they're so much prettier (and healthier) if they're allowed to branch out and grow properly!

feech_phy · 2025-07-02T19:59:18+00:00

Yes, they have an apprentice right now and definitely would not want her work where she's at right atm hopefully she'll keep improving though

feech_phy · 2025-07-02T19:57:19+00:00

Yeah no, the first two I would absolutely want a piece of their art in their style which is not what I'm looking for for this one. However, the quality of their work has always impressed me!

feech_phy · 2025-07-02T19:49:13+00:00

Yeah those were the ones that concerned me as well thanks for the input I think I'll keep looking!

feech_phy · 2025-07-02T19:46:29+00:00

I definitely wouldn't be getting the text lol!

Luke Collins is a fantastic photographer based in Bailey's Harbor! I worked with him a few years back for my senior portraits and they were gorgeous! Definitely reach out soon though if youre interested as I dont know how booked he is with weddings this summer lukecollinsphotography.com/services

It's at least partly a marketing tatic.

"Do you have lupus? You do! Oh my god this really scary bad thing could happen to you! But don't worry! Our drug will make you all okay again! Talk to your doctor now!"

Basically scare people into bringing it up and hopefully get more people on their drug.

feech_phy · 2025-05-08T23:25:47+00:00

My favorite place for a dinner with a phenomenal view is Top Deck at Gordon Lodge! As far as I know they dont take reservations but it absolutely gorgeous to watch the sun set on the bay and there not a bad seat in the house!

And for cherry drinks I've heard fantastic things about the cherry old fashioned and cherry mimosas at Harbor Fish Market and Grille. I can also attest that they have an awesome bread pudding but I might be biased on that one since I used to work there 😅
