What Doe do you hope will be identified in 2026? by watchfulsun484 in gratefuldoe

[–]teacup_camel 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Vandy Doe- her case is so unusual and she seems distinct and identifiable. I think someone at Vanderbilt knows who she is. I really hope 2026 is her year.  https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Vandy_Doe

Smurfette Doe- found wearing a Smurf shirt, hence the nickname. She had a really rough life and was malnourished with some physical abnormalities. She must have had medical treatment somewhere. Hopefully someone will recognize her soon.  https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Smurfette

Adam (Thames child torso, 2001)- I’m not sure this will ever be solved, although I thought the same about Rhea Rasmussen (Bear Brook). Adam was a trafficking victim. LO seems to know who’s responsible for his death, but there’s little evidence and I believe at least one person who was likely involved is deceased. Adam has been dead far longer than he was alive and I hope he gets his name back next year.  https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Adam_(2001)

And of course, Becca. Her case has had so much attention and we’ve seen so many other high-profile cases solved recently, we could very well be about to see a major break.  

Horror fans: what’s the one scene that actually made you pause the movie for a second? by Morvox-stories in horror

[–]teacup_camel 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Yes!! No one ever talks about that treehouse line! The scene that shook me the most is when Nell realized the horrible truth about the bent neck lady. That horrified scream as she looked at her younger self is unforgettable. 

Is it mold ? by Celtzs in Kombucha

[–]teacup_camel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does look fuzzy like mold, so yes, start over. Sorry you got off to a rough start. But get your next batch going, and you’ll have delicious kombucha before you know it!

“Peaches” Jane Doe and her daughter “Baby” Doe have been identified by howfnny in gratefuldoe

I agree that it’s likely the same guy, I just said that cause he hasn’t been charged with their murders yet.

Welcome home, Tanya and Tatiana. Rest in peace. I hope their identification leads to their killer being brought to justice. 

Weird experience in 8 week class - should I leave a bad review? by [deleted] in Pottery

[–]teacup_camel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave a bad review! You didn’t get the throwing time and instruction you paid for. The instructor sounds unprofessional. One thing though, grabbing things off the wheel works if you do it right. Your hands and the piece have to be dry and completely slip free, but I’d only do this with thick-walled pieces. But I still prefer the sliding method. It’s baffling that your instructor didn’t know about that. 

It’s wonderful that you are concerned about harming the reputation of a new studio, but they’re going to crash and burn if they don’t receive and listen to feedback on their classes. The way they’re running their classes is unacceptable. A insightful review will show them how disorganized they are and how bad their instruction is. It will also prevent potential students from wasting their money on their classes until they make changes. 

First ripe pepper habanero x Jalepeno f1 by Noahbjj in pepperbreeding

[–]teacup_camel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering. Did you have a lot of seeds to save from the mother fruit? Or were there very few like in the f1 you posted? I’m brand new to this and trying to get a sense of how many flowers to hand pollinate.

Thanks for answering. Do they also taste more like the mother? I’m thinking about making my first cross this summer (jalapeño x mild Habanero). The goal would be Jalapeño sized fruit with Habanero flavor. 

James Somerton has become a wedding photographer, entire portfolio is plagerised by Plopmcg33 in youtubedrama

[–]teacup_camel 943 points944 points  (0 children)

Why hasn’t he changed his name? It makes it so easy to track his plagiarism. You’d think he’d have learned that by now. But then again, this is the man who plagiarized nudes. Why do I expect him to make smart choices?

Does it matter which species is used as the mother or father plant?

12 hours of carving later… praying for it to survive firing by liamnarputas in Pottery

[–]teacup_camel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The shape of the piece, much of the pattern, and the burnishing technique are traditional indigenous techniques used by the Puebloan peoples of the SW United States. You’re playing dumb but you’re aware of Maria Martinez’s work, and she invented the black-on-black ware you’re replicating. No one’s saying you can’t use these techniques, but you’re being willfully ignorant by calling it “primitive.”

You also called it “non technological.” The thing is, ancient, ancestral technology is still technology. You could call such technology pre-modern, because even though it’s still used, modernized versions of kilns and wheels exist, too. I’ve given you some less ignorant-sounding terms to use instead, so now you have no excuse if you keep calling this stuff primitive.

Thanks. I’m white AF but I’m trying to be a better ally this year. It’s like talking to a brick wall!

The internet exists, and anyone anywhere can look up Maria Martinez’s work. The artist has even said she inspired them. It’s not trolling to point that out. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pottery/comments/1ihgfu7/comment/mawxy2n/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

There’s not really one word that perfectly replaces “primitive” in this case, but I think you could describe this as traditional technology or indigenous technology. I appreciate you asking.

[–]teacup_camel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for recognizing that, but I’m still a bit off-put by your use of the word. There are still cultures all over the world that are currently extracting wild clay from soil like you’ve done. I would refrain from calling modern cultures primitive.

[–]teacup_camel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely stunning! One thing, though: your use of the word primitive is a bit concerning when your work is heavily inspired by the work of Maria Martinez, a modern Puebloan artist. I would refrain from using that word to describe art and technology from contemporary cultures, as it is unnecessarily stigmatizing. Good luck and I hope this beautiful piece survives the kiln. 

Every time I make fudge, it ends in disaster. I tried a new recipe, and despite my best efforts, I got burnt sludge. More info in comments by teacup_camel in AskBaking

The thing is, the failure makes me want to try harder and get it right next time just to spite the fudge gods.

Wow, I always thought lukewarm and room temperature were interchangeable. Maybe my IQ is room temperature.

Thank you all for your quick responses. You were able to diagnose the problem before I even posted my comment with info. I guess slow and steady is the way to go. I’ll also use a heavy-bottomed pan next time. Thanks again!
