If you use a stick with two points in it, its called a trammel.

Thanks for not trying to understand my point whatsoever. I look forward to your future regurgitations.

I've heard yarn that is spun by beginners is highly sought after. When you almost know how to spin, but not quite, you get a variance of thickness and lumps and bumps that create an interesting texture when woven. This is very hard to create once you actually know how to spin. There's a time when you know how, but haven't perfected it yet that is almost impossible to replicate once you're an experienced spinster.

AI art is like that in my opinion. We're at a stage where such strange things are being made by AI and the absurdity and surrealism will soon be lost once it actually figures out how to do it right. We should appreciate the slop since soon we won't be able to distinguish from human and machine and right now its funny.

There are plenty of Heart Lakes.

The more you delve into the fibre arts the more you'll learn how fabrics are good at what they're good at, but they aren't ever perfect. Tyvek is house wrap. There are many other things it can be used for, but thats what it is. It's also super loud, ugly and slippery as hell. It comes in super wide rolls which is handy sometimes.

I bought a 3' wide roll to make a sail. It cost $100 and I used less than 1/4 of the roll and the sail I ended up with was pretty much a joke. The actual sail cost $150 before tax. So for me it was quite expensive and ultimately a waste of time and money. But I had fun. And eventually used the rest when i re-sided my house.

Its not that cheap since you have to buy it by the roll. But for strength and ease, its an excellent prototyping material.

Maybe typar? It serves the same purpose but is not the same thing.

It's been less and less for the last ever. It did freeze over solid, as did all the Great Lakes, about 10 years ago but that seems to be an outlier. Now there's been not much by the shore let alone any for ice fishers. I'm talking about Georgian Bay, off Lake Huron.

Did you use an off-brand tyvek? And tucktape? People make sails out of tyvek because not ripping is one of its things.

Tape holds tyvek surprisingly well. It'll rip the tyvek before it rips the tape. Although, if there's the slightest breeze you won't be sleeping. That shit is loud!

There was a railway built to my town which had a big industry supplying ice to the large cities in the south. There was a long conveyor belt built into the lake leading to a large building stuffed with saw dust that kept ice well into the summer. It created a lot of winter work for the locals that dried up after refrigeration was invented. The railway lost its usefulness and also got torn up. And now the bay doesn't even freeze anymore.

 

Boeing is for sure a shit show and terribly managed, but I don't think they would blatantly kill guys like that. I think it's far more likely that the first guy did kill himself because he figured everybody would think Boeing whacked him and that would do far more damage to the company than his testimony would. Now any news falls under a suspicious gaze and here we are thinking some other guys unfortunate death is due to nefarious deeds.

Or I'm wrong and Boeing has a CIA division ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I've made a few posts, most about sync, but none show up in my profile under 'posts'. Even the ones I made in my own instance. What's up?
