it's the fake bone they throw to their idiot voter base once in a while knowing it will never pass. Trump just didn't get the memo (or more likely, can't read the memo).

no. if there is irrefutable proof trump is a child fucker, the rightwingers will just switch to the stance of "child fucking isn't that bad".
hell they've even elected literal known child fuckers in several red states as senators and congressmen. to them child fucking is only bad when they can accuse democrats of it. the fact that they keep trying to lower the age of consent should be proof enough of this. conservatives are not your allies homes.
I'm probably one of these. was thinking EV but now did a 180 and am going to get a big old gas or diesel truck off craigslist.
the upside is I drive maybe once a week and bike and scooter otherwise so my carbon impact will still be low. it's just to haul wood for woodworking or take my trailer to the campsite.
another upside by getting it used and fixing it up is reducing waste and avoiding a car payment. most EVs are still new enough you're unlikely to be able to buy them used cheaply. I can get a used usable truck for under 5 grand cash.
i feel like I've never heard anything about substack and then all of a sudden out of nowhere i was hearing about it everywhere. never used it. now that I know it has a nazi/far-right problem, staying away from it by at least 1000 miles
so in reality Trump donated underage girls in his employ to Epstein and he's trying to get ahead of the story.
With pottery you can indeed approach it from a project based approach, which a lot of us (including myself) do in most cases. However, a clay artist may find that they aren’t improving very quickly or becoming as fluent as they would like to be. With throwing pottery, developing the muscle memory is important and this can only come by doing LOTS of throwing.
This is where such a challenge shines.
Another blocker for myself and I assume many other potters is the tendency to be perfectionist and trying to complete every pot you throw. This will just slow you down and often can become a mental blocker to getting started if you are finding yourself discouraged because your pieces aren’t turning out how you want them to turn out.
It can feel like you aren’t improving anymore and you’ve hit a wall. I think this comes from trying to "play it safe" due to trying to always create finished products so you leave things thicker and chunkier than you could make them because if you push the boundaries you risk the pot collapsing.
By making a determination that all the pots you make for this challenge WILL be destroyed, you free yourself from that mental block. It’s the “get the failures out early” approach and reduces the fear of failure since you know it’s destined for reclaim anyway. You can begin to experiment with trying to take your pieces higher or thinner without caring too much if the piece gets destroyed in the process.
Doing this exercise is about doing a targeted level up of your throwing skill. Cutting them in half and analyzing your weak points to do better on in the next cylinder is the most efficient way to improve.
It also doesn’t prevent you from doing your other pottery projects should you decide to do them. This particular challenge has no rules on pacing. Take a month, or a year if you want. Do things in between. Just complete it.
I would recommend against making 200 pots with the determination to offload them on some community or other. After being fired, the pots you make can never become throwable clay again. And you’d be essentially trying to offload your poorly made practice pots on someone else who generally doesn’t need them. Not to mention that would require 400-500lbs of clay and firing fees which would get prohibitively expensive.
The goal of this is to never have to “think" about making a cylinder again. Your body will just know how to do it, quickly, fluently, and to a high degree of quality.
just lie on your resume bro
Jafar. i don't think these characters often represent violent crime though. more often just deviousness
come on brothers. be gay do crime!
that doesn't explain people who only drink decaf
mostly thingiverse. I'll look at others if i can't find it there but i rarely have to. it has the largest library ime. the search and discoverability ui takes some getting used to though
i mainly print functional things. ex. i just got a dewalt planer and looked for models associated with it and found a dust collection attachment that will work with my vacuum and parts that allow me to wrap the cable to the planer itself
some things i just design myself. i broke one of the arms on my sunglasses so i designed and printed a brace i could use with some super glue and heat shrink tubing to fix it.
all this was just yesterday
there are zero troops moving on Israel
