Lemmy won't catch on until there are groups of communities you can ban at once. Sports, Linux, German, pervy anime... It's a very rare user who will put up with the absolute dreck of the initial feed and manually block communities until they have a feed that's marginally personalized.

Then there's the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.

Atlas Needs a Hug. Its the lesser known sequel.

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.
