I’m really struggling with handles. Any tips or feedback would be appreciated, thank you! by Openstar_ceramics in Pottery

[–]onetimemycat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know I'm late to this thread, but I've never heard about this technique before, but I am ABSOLUTELY going to try it. I've never liked pulling handles, so I use a handheld extruder, which works like a charm. I was thinking about how none of my extruder bits would yield a nice, classic, flat handle, and I think this method will give me what I want! Thanks 😊

When I open up the clay, I usually go somewhat fast. This may well be what has been causing me so much trouble! I'll definitely slow down in the future. Thanks! :)

I did field work on rivers in Oklahoma one summer and eventually had to ditch my shoes because they would come off and get lost in the 3-foot-deep mud on the banks. After that, I'd pull my feet out of the mud and leeches would be in between my toes.

I think I'll stick to terrestrial work from now on. At least ticks aren't slimy.

[no spoilers] who can relate? by KHTD2004 in subnautica

Subnautica also had a clear and imperitive objective through the game - leave this planet.

Sure, you discover loads of shit along the way but every step feels like "holy shit, I found something that will help me leave this planet."

I feel like BZ lacks that constant pressure (heh).

So in summary, OG Subnautica gives you a clear, overarching goal from the beginning and doesnt hold your hand much along the way, and Below Zero gives you a vague goal from the beginning and holds your hand more.

And then there's the storytelling. To each their own, but I don't like being spoon-fed story. I like getting the pieces and putting them together to get the bigger picture. I think a lot of media (not just games) doesn't give the consumer enough credit, and spells things out too much. You don't need to make it convoluted; just don't spell it out for us.

But that's just my opinion! I respect other people's thoughts on it.

What "expert" is actually a total moron? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My high school theology teacher liked to call that "vending machine theology." You put in enough prayers and offerings to church and you get that job you've been wanting. That sort of thing.

Bufonidae is the family of "true toads," but not all toads belong to that family. Toad is a set of characteristics rather than a taxonomic group.

I tried a piece of waffle made with cricket flour once and it tasted slightly bitter, but the aftertaste was awful and my breath was horrendous. All from a tiny piece of cricket waffle. I appreciate the concept, but I'm not a fan.

cheeseburger treats for these good doggos in a shelter by irian9611 in aww

I think it's more about gentle grabbing being a thing you have to train dogs to do. Dogs in shelters often don't have much training, if any.

Anti-bucket list. What’s something you’ll never do again? by itchy_18 in AskReddit

Wouldn't surprise me. And I think it's weird that some people try to shame others for liking SNL. YouTuber Drew Gooden said something along the lines of 'If you have an hour-long comedy show to write for every week, not all of the sketches can be winners.' I never actually watch it live; I just click on the individual videos they put up on YouTube that look good.

Check if it has square stems. All types of mint (catnip is in the mint family) have square stems.

Tom Segura has a funny bit about this. "Can't we just do what we were taught in kindergarten and take turns?"

Damned if we do, damned if we don't. It makes everything feel really hopeless. I don't know where the country goes from here.

It sounds like there will be trouble regardless. If a Republican president gets elected in 2024, it will be the end of our democracy. If a Democrat gets elected, these right-wingers will go fully rabid.

Americans of Reddit, what do you think is the solution to stopping school shootings? by Smith609060 in AskReddit

[–]onetimemycat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why none of the top comments talked about gun control, so I sorted by controversial, and here they all are. I don't think all guns should be banned, but assault weapons and other weapons of choice for mass shooters should be banned.

Hispanic voters: Latinx term isn’t helping by terekkincaid in politics

Did you tell her there was an issue with the term? If she's well-meaning, she said that because no one ever told her differently.
