You’d be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way – or you’d maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.

I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM

Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You’re a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.

That’s very cool!

These are really beautiful! I can see that they take a lot of craftsmanship. How did you start doing this kind of sculpture?

My father has T2 and ozempic has been amazing for him. He’s insulin-dependent, but his endocrinologist has told him that soon he’ll probably be able to drop the shots before meals and just do the 1x/day long-acting shot. It’s pretty amazing!

I had a second-hand bread machine that served me very well for several years, until one day when it started vibrating like crazy and threw itself off the counter mid-knead.

Anyway, that’s how I ended up making all our bread by hand for the next four years or so.

Beautiful shot!

Give me a Star Trek-style replicator and I’m never cooking dinner again.

Brilliant. Setting up some filters has made browsing All so much better!

People don’t need to engage politically on every single platform they frequent. I’ve blocked a long list of political keywords, because 95% of the political content I see here is about a country I’m not from. Americans can scream at each other to their hearts’ content without my being obligated to participate or even observe.

Oh hey, we had one of those disasters in Canada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system

Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?

I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I’ve got a lot of political words blacklisted and it’s made browsing All much more pleasant.

… what about it?

My 10-year-old loves Minecraft and Terraria. Do you play any video games? Which ones do you like?
