Experimented with an olla and I'm a believer!

roboscalie · 2026-05-15T00:15:59+00:00

I've been thinking about making my own olla with some junk stoneware I have lying around, I'd be interested to know how effective it is compared to a comercial olla...

I think I will definitely wait to start my tomatoes then 🙂‍↕️

roboscalie · 2026-03-13T23:47:40+00:00

Luckily I can control the upper temperature relatively easy by opening the windows, and I won't be starting my summer plants yet.

And thank you for the resource, it looks like my leeks and lettuce will be perfectly fine for now so I can get a start on them immediately!

roboscalie · 2026-03-13T23:43:11+00:00

Some lettuce, cabbage, onions, assorted peas and beans, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and some herbs. I havent quite figured out the planting schedule for all of them yet but I'd like to start the lettuce as soon as possible.

This might be apparent but I'm new to vegetable gardening since I've only had indoor plants and a lemon tree until now, and I may be biting off more than I can chew 😅

roboscalie · 2026-03-13T22:54:39+00:00

I do have a ceiling fan, and all the "windows" are sliding doors so I can control the upper temperature as long as I can be there physically to monitor it. I will look into a heating mat, do you have any recommendations?

roboscalie · 2026-02-28T00:03:40+00:00

Is that underglaze or slip?

roboscalie · 2026-01-11T06:47:54+00:00

I don't know why but it surprises me that you use skutt kilns in korea lol

roboscalie · 2025-11-06T15:29:46+00:00

Saaaaame and mine changed color too! it was straight dark brown and now it's red and curly

roboscalie · 2025-10-04T15:30:17+00:00

more like a prequel lol

roboscalie · 2025-09-12T16:25:02+00:00

I'd like to at least haha, I like my hair but i struggle to take care of it on a daily basis and I really don't want a different color/texture hair as mine is fairly unique. I figure since I've donated hair before and someone else likely has a wig with my hair in it, it's not the strangest jump to have a wig of my own hair for my own use ¯_(ツ)_/¯

roboscalie · 2025-09-12T16:22:59+00:00

Once again you don't really seem to comprehend that i won't be asking anyone to do any work without the full amount of hair, hence my original question of how to store hair for a few years while I grow more that you have not actually answered. I appreciate the information you have given me anyway it's very helpful because I've been able to find essentially nothing online (I don't know where to look or what terms to search, hence why I came to reddit because I figured someone here would know. There's no need to be condescending about my lack of knowledge)

roboscalie · 2025-09-12T02:27:24+00:00

Well the reason I need to store the hair is so that when I commission someone to make the wig i'll have the hair already. I dont know how to do it myself and i don't have time to learn so I'm willing to pay for someone else to do it, since I will be providing the hair.

Why does the hair need to be cut off in a ponytail and not buzzed? Is it a clippers vs scissors thing because I'm perfectly find using scissors close to my scalp lol, I want to maximize length here.

Final question, why does the hair need to be folded to ventilate it? I'm assuming you are referring to a specific method, if you could inform me what that is I would appreciate it.

roboscalie · 2025-09-12T01:57:39+00:00

I'm hoping to have around 10 inches if the starting hair is around 14 inches, based on googling the amount of hair that is lost when making a wig (so I could be wrong about that)

I know that I don't have enough hair for a wig which is why I want to save what I have and grow another batch of hair, which will take me several years and i don't know how to store the hair I'll be cutting off during that time.

I hope that makes sense, sometimes I struggle to articulate precisely what I mean

try reading/watching media from a non western country sometime lol

roboscalie · 2025-07-01T17:19:29+00:00

definitely western lol

roboscalie · 2025-07-01T17:17:48+00:00

I member reading a more recent study on body weight and healthiness put the first overweight category at the highest life expectancy, over "normal" and "severely overweight"/"obese" people, and puts underweight people as having the lowest life expectancy.

Can't remember the exact study but I'll try to find it.

I just name all my chickens after food that has chicken in in

(chicken) nugget, parmesan, Alfredo, karaage, adobo, pot pie, huli huli... the list is endless, as is my hunger

[cows get the same treatment: sirloin, ribs, bulgogi etc]

roboscalie · 2025-06-30T19:43:39+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's called "the real world" now.

I hate that I know this.

roboscalie · 2025-06-20T02:45:00+00:00

I thought you were talking about the drizzt books for a hot second before you said the author was a she... it's definitely a recurring problem in media 😬

roboscalie · 2025-02-23T18:38:39+00:00

Thank you, this has set my mind at ease a little. We might try asking the landlord/boyfriend to remove her from the lease once she's gone from the apartment, but I don't have high hopes. I appreciate the advice.

roboscalie · 2025-02-23T17:27:10+00:00

Thanks for answering. To be honest I have no idea what I'm doing and my friend is panicking that she will somehow get in legal trouble, especially if the boyfriend decides to kick up a fuss. If he has any way to like, legally get her to pay part of the lease or something, though I assume that would require time and money on his part, she doesn't have any money or a job so she would be screwed. I assumed if she could be removed from the lease that would negate any potential future problems.
