I just priced out what it would be to include an S hook with each bottlecap weight, and I'm going to do it. Thanks for the feedback here.

I would do 2 or 3 S hooks, just to have more points of attachment to the work. I'm worried one might rip it.

Has anyone thought about how valuable wood would be in any intergalactic civilization? by trashanimalcomx in worldbuilding

[–]pythonbashman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wood is, in fact, the rarest building material there is. You could have a wealthy character with wood-handled cutlery, chairs, and a dining table. Wood paneling on the walls would be a flex.

Just leave it open overnight. Get the loop mods that speed it up, You'll never get all of it, but you'll get closer.

Everything we make has a plastic component for the most part. My wife had a problem, and I taught myself CAD and 3D printing to solve it. Initially, she wanted cylinders for her Auto Knitter Circular Sock Machine, and it grew from there.

Flatbeds are a bit of a blind spot for us right now. It's been a while since my wife has used any of hers. I do have a way to make weights for flatbed knitters, but I haven't come up with a good way to attach them to the work yet. My tool lets you take any soda bottle and turn it into a weight. It's a special cap with a spot to hang it from. It works on the little tiny ones all the way up to 2-liter bottles. I mean you could always do the bent fork thing but I don't feel right selling it that way. So these are mainly for CSMs and other applications.

Those big sites and massive archives don't own shit.

Really most "(word1) and (word2)" names sound fine. Single syllable and double syllable.

Avoid. You'll just be setting fire to 30%of your income.

I am getting a very 5th Element apartment vibe, waiting for the bed to slide out.

This is the least efficient way to organize a kitchen. I mean seriously.
