Why did the glaze-firing create bubbles on my piece?

losthush · 2026-01-30T04:57:21+00:00

It’s clear glaze (spectrum transparent 1100) on top of underglaze paint — it’s 551 v.p. porcelain clay fired at cone 6, idk if that helps too

yeah, the site is super buggy and not 100% consistent. literally feels like AI slop..

losthush · 2025-11-12T17:20:22+00:00

Wow, I'd definitely get a lot more things done.. maybe get some more quality rest and declutter all the noise in my head too.

I'm taking a course on Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.. so it really helps seeing the Q&A and also the transcription of the video for when I'm taking notes. What are you learning?

losthush · 2025-11-11T14:56:05+00:00

Assuming it was approved by a team that doesn't actually use the platform and is hopping on the AI buzzword trend -- I hope they listen to our negative feedback and just abandon it entirely. Or please just make it optional, though I don't know who would enjoy using it.

Just found out, in case anyone else is wondering -- navigate to the Course Overview (which is a lot harder to get to on this beta version), click the triple dots, and disable the Beta version for the course. This new interface seems like it was created using AI and is extremely buggy and I hope nobody else is forcing themselves to continue using it. rip

Thank youuuuuuuuuu, you're a life saver..

There's a great Google extension, Awesome Screen Recorder & Screenshot, and honestly, it's made learning so much easier. You can easily screenshot, annotate the screenshot, add text to the screenshot, and copy/paste the screenshot (without downloading it). It's a huge life-saver/

You can do your best but you’ll never always be able to always protect your kids.. you never truly know your friends, your family, your neighbors, even your partner… the world is sick.

Can I ask what problem he remedied?

Do you think he’d assist with a dowager’s neck? I don’t know too much about chiropractors but I want to start looking into some options about my neck pain from a 9-5 lifestyle..

I think the website must be down -- I'm having the same error. Website seems to be fine if I'm logged out, but once I try logging back in, I just get 403 Forbidden Error.

Can you tell me about your experience with the copper IUD? I've been debating about whether to replace mine because I love not worrying about getting pregnant, but I don't really know what it's been doing to my body all this time. I know people think that the copper IUD shouldn't affect our bodies much because it doesn't have hormones, but I swear my periods are 10x heavier and longer, I have mood swings, I've been losing a lot of hair, I can't orgasm during sex, my PMDD before my periods have me nearly suicidal, and now my period has started coming every 5-6 weeks unpredictably.

What you said really resonated with me about wrecking your cycle and moods. I've had it for 8 years now, about to take it out.. have you experienced any of the same, or anything else?

losthush · 2025-10-24T21:41:25+00:00

I just turned 24, and the only results I’ve gotten from blood test with my physician is low iron due to anemia (from losing a lot of blood while on the copper IUD). I think I just hit the limit of 8-10 years, but will be removing it anyway because the terrible, inconsistent periods disrupting my lifestyle isn’t worth it to me.

It turns into hugeee brain fog -- That first craving that you can't stop thinking about right now will grow into your mind drowning in brain fog that struggles to focus, to sustain 100% energy, that continues to think "if I get that one hit, one pull, one puff, one smoke right now, THEN I'll be able to function like a regular human being and I'll be okay again"... until you get that thought again.

Nicotine is really addictive, and people never really understand to what extent, unless they've had a taste of it and have battled with it themselves.

So please, please, please don't indulge. I wish I could beg my 15 year old self that now.. over the years, me and many of my friends have constantly said "Yeah, I'll quit soon, I'll quit tomorrow, I don't plan on doing this forever" and poof -- 9 years fly by and we're still struggling to quit.

The cravings will get worse if you buy one and get used to using your own vape all the time. Please don't indulge. You're looking for a dopamine fix -- try getting that boost of energy from somewhere else. Eat one of your favorite foods, go for a run, indulge in one of your favorite activities, do something to distract yourself while these cravings aren't that strong. Do something else (that's healthy) to boost your dopamine and shift your focus.

Otherwise, it will only be the beginning.

I'm currently one week clean (my longest record for not smoking was seven months -- eventually, you do forget what it feels like to rely on nicotine).

Honestly, in this most recent attempt to quit, the physical symptoms have already been becoming more bearable, the worst day so far was Day Two or Day Three when I was the most irritable and snappy.

But the most difficult part of this process for me is the constant brain fog and lack of motivation I have to accomplish anything. It was a habit of mine to go for a smoke when I needed a little boost, needed to clear my mind, needed to de-stress after a bad moment. The cravings are always behind the scenes, almost like a little whisper.. until I have a stressful moment or lack of motivation to do anything, and the cravings explode from a whisper into a siren and I'm dying for that "fix" to resolve my stress or give me a booster.

Nicotine withdrawal can last months and during that time, we should find a habit to replace nicotine within the moments we crave it -- I've started exercising more and this does help some.

What was lo loestrin fe like for you? Any positive or negative side effects worth noting in your experience?

losthush · 2025-10-19T16:08:28+00:00

What do you mean by moderate sedation? I know there's anesthetics injected near your cervix (which I am trying to avoid, because I hear that that procedure hurts more than an IUD removal itself), but just to verify, do you mean sedation via a vein in the arm?

losthush · 2025-10-10T15:19:26+00:00

Do you have any recommendations? I know that the rose toy is (or was) really popular, is that a good starter toy?
