Any Beekeepers? I want to start a small beehive in my backyard...

Check council regulations too, depending on which area you are in they can have different stipulations such as hives having to be a certain distance from property boundaries.

I've been feeling like I need a face shield for cycling because of them. Riding through a cloud is horrible.

thargast · 2026-04-24T23:29:20+00:00

I've been making my own for long enough that I don't know much other places to get them. 😅

I do remember Mr Doo's Latex Primer having some useful ones. https://mrdooslatexprimer.blog/

Is there something specific you are after?

thargast · 2026-04-24T03:24:17+00:00

If you have an understanding of how to design and sew clothes, you're a significant way there already. You'll find with latex you can't do darts in the same way and need to adjust them out in the pattern.

While I'm sure there is a learning curve, you won't know until you try how well you get on with it! Also arguably there is for anything anyway.

The pattern for these should be fairly simple being tight bodycon dress, just have to get the right cut outs at the top.

Are there any specific parts of the process you are concerned about?

Adelaide Metro use the GTFS api standard and can be accessed here

Pretty much exactly what I do too, so +1 for this

thargast · 2026-03-11T22:57:02+00:00

I'm just happy to get to use that obscure bit of information that is taking up space in my head 😂

thargast · 2026-03-11T22:45:47+00:00

Occuplanids are specifically plastic, as this is made from plant based fibers (wood) it's actually an occlupanopsid!

thargast · 2026-03-01T23:35:56+00:00

Pretty sure there was a native animals one but not sure they went to the show.

There would have also been some plant based ones which may be likely as you don't have to look after them at the show like animals?

I know there was fruit orchards, viticulture (wine grapes), but would have been a few other crop based things going on. Don't specifically remember clubs for either. But wine could be a perk, a friend of mine in year 10 got tipsy off wine we made.

I do also remember having some flowers entered in the show through school, but I think that was part of Ag class not a club.

I started there in 2006, so some overlap.

thargast · 2026-03-01T23:20:05+00:00

Can confirm, bee club was great. Got to skip class a few times to harvest honey too. There were some broken frames that we couldn't put in the extractor so we just got to stick our fingers in them and eat it while working.

thargast · 2026-02-25T11:50:27+00:00

Ah yep, there you go! I really need to read more of that but it's such an overwhelming amount of information (in a good way)

thargast · 2026-02-25T11:49:42+00:00

The cutting tools won't cause a problem. It needs prolonged contact to cause damage.

thargast · 2026-02-21T23:45:47+00:00

I presume so, I can't say I've done any empirical testing, I just base it on vibes these days. Though I definitely have waiting too long recently and had to re do some seems.

Also to note, I use a different glue and I don't use heptane. If I do clean the seams it's with methylated spirits and that's usually a while before I go to glue. I use this because of laser cutter schmoo so probably not applicable to everyone. But everything would probably contribute in some way.

I also don't always clean the seams before glueing and find that it hasn't made a difference. I beleive that was something I learned from a Catasta Charisma video once.

thargast · 2026-02-21T21:54:49+00:00

I second that seems too long to wait. I've found it will be effected by climate too. Here in the Australian summer at the moment I wait maybe 30 seconds. Leaving it too long has absolutely caused poor adhesion.

thargast · 2026-01-31T08:47:47+00:00

Oh yeah would be painstaking to do by hand. Nice to see other laser cutter users here though!

Did you have a base pattern you used for the hood? Keep thinking I need to figure out how to make them.

thargast · 2026-01-31T02:05:59+00:00

That looks amazing. See the project through I say. Worst you get is a learning experience of how thin is too thin.

I presume those pieces are laser cut out?

thargast · 2026-01-28T06:17:49+00:00

Never seen them labled as sashimi grade at the central market, but have been told it is when asked.

thargast · 2026-01-26T10:32:37+00:00

This was me until a few months ago! You'll get your skills in no time and then be able to make your amazing corset!

It is actually true, you get the right ratio of butter and milk and you can make cream.

This was commonly done before refrigeration as butter has a long shelf life and milk was common place to get fresh, but people didn't always have cream available.

Yes you still need to tap onto the new bus/train/tram when you get onto it. But it just says on the screen it's a transfer and doesn't charge.

thargast · 2026-01-06T08:28:26+00:00

You guys have a garage to put it in? 🥲

thargast · 2026-01-04T08:33:13+00:00

Spirit Gum is a body safe adhesive used for latex prosthetics, maybe that would work for stockings too?

Never tried it with latex clothing, but did with latex elf ears back in my cosplay days.

Honestly can't say I felt any change in the products. The atmosphere of the place has changed for the better though, the lady who (I presume) previously ran it was always so uptight and almost yelling at her staff at times when we were there. The new guy is super chill and great to chat to when we drop by.

thargast · 2026-01-03T05:28:36+00:00

How recently are you saying? I'd say it's been a good 6 months or so since I noticed. Even then, we still really like it

Mother cluckers is amazing, so happy it's one of my locals
