The 90’s mentality of “Everyone on an Internet is a predator out to rob you or worse” left a mark on me-
I always use a fake name and innocuous, random profile pic if possible.

These daus you’re still screwed if someone’s that determined, but at least screw the corporations like this.

The mockingbirds are so lucky the hummingbirds don’t care, because they are shimmery little warrior badasses.

I started using two so I could more easily remote game with my sibling.

The second one would have their screen stream up, so it was like we were playing split screen co-op back in the day. :)

I mean more in the broad sense- to hope that there’s going to be any action at all towards something one personally likes.

My standards are pretty low I guess.

Its a vague undulation in a direction I think most folks here would probably prefer?

That’s kinda all you can realistically hope for a lot of the time

I’ve been trying to set up a space for this split keyboard/Accessability computer stuff, and I have, like, five ~50gb hard drives from yeeears ago. ( I was the designated data backer-upper of the friend/family circle)

I could see how things could get out of hand for the true memelord

Lol sorry, I totally misunderstood. But I’m learning so much about potatoes, so its a cool thread anyway!

I doubt it, seeing as all the cavity consists of tapered shapes. A mushroom would leave behind some evidence of being sealed inside, and the mushroom cap structure grows above ground, while spuds grow buried underneath soil. It logistically doesn’t quite check out IMO.

What I suspect happens in these kinds of shapes- and I see them fairly often -is that the potato simply expands as it grows, and it just pulls apart at some point of stress, kinda like a warped piece of wood.

Except its an oblate spheroid, so it “cracks” in the center.

This could be some kind of encapsulated material, I don’t know the details of how potatoes protect themselves from foreign bodies.

But, in theory, there could be some kinda dead fungus in there, slain by a potato-based void…?

I am talking about though is SLA printing though- resin printing, but without the resin, basically.
Which is why I think its more feasible than just extrusion printing on principle. The layers are incredibly thin, with no extrusion involved, and no exposure to air until well after the layers are formed.

Interesting, I was under the impression that clay was inert when ingested.

The transportation and dust would be lessened from the printing process if it were done by the individual, but if what you say is true, then the whole idea is worthless unless there’s an alternative material available.

Well, in this hypothetical I’m proposing, there is no superheating involved- just printing, and being set to dry.

Ceramics get completely rigid, but relatively fragile in this state, which would be sufficient for a single use material, but if they’re soaked for long enough, would dissolve.

The term is “Bone Dry” and specifically how to reclaim bone dry clay- that’d probably give you an idea on how it breaks down/dissolves.

there would be no straightforward way to get it back into print media unless there were recycling centers, but if one cleaned the food matter off well, in theory it could be standard clay people could use.

Imagine collecting food cup clay and making it into bricks for public projects.

I live dangerously- I make yogurt in old jam jars!
…Though you only need to go to 180° and don’t need pressurization for it.

But I absolutely echo you with that, the fact that you can’t use most glass for this is insane.

And I only use the Baba Maman jars, they’re the only ones resilient enough.

Go to a grocery store, bring your metal containers to the grocery, get them autoclaved while shopping, and get em filled up with your rice/cereals/juice/etc.

Edit: The below is a bad idea unless new materials are found, see comment thread.

Also, SLA Printing for ceramics is already possible, just expensive for now. Once we figure out how to do that sustainability and in a foodsafe manner, we could just print our single-use cups and dishes from a slurry.

Yeah, finding the gunk from a bone dry ceramic cup left in random places outside would suck, but nature would be able to reclaim it as easy as any random dirt clod. (Well, not as quick in the short term, but when it comes to materials)

One could potentially even just rinse out the clay, stick it in some water, and with some elbow grease and effort, process it into actual, useable ceramics. Depending on the formulation required for the SLA process, of course.

This is exactly what I mean, thanks.

I’m not saying that you have speech issues, but that some neuralgias can be treated with manual therapies, and speech therapists are a good place to look for people trained in face/head/neck manual therapies. Its a disciplinary overlap.

IDK if your type of neuralgia can, but if your doctor scthink its a possibility, then its a direction to go in.

I do know that speech therapist is definitely one of the last specialists I would think to seek out for that kind of specialty. I just lucked out on my own because I was also experiencing speech issues. (It helped me regain neck movement)

Oh, I meant IRL.
The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.

I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.

This is the case of an article misconstruing the meaning of a scientific paper… again.

From what I gather, this is meant to mean the specific context of a gesture having the explicit, consistent purpose- that when it flutters, it means that its partner is supposed to do a specific activity with their nest.

So its not just the context sensitive “I’m letting you go first” like with a cat, or with many other creatures, its more akin to someone texting their spouse “Can you put the kettle on?”

The bizarre thing with this really is that its a visual cue, because we see this all the time with sounds, in all kinds of critters.
