@Anke in addition to the cost of supplies, say rather than focus on size, i’d consider how long it took you to make any particular thing. Like, in your case its a hobby so you don’t necessarily need to care about a living wage sure, but if you’re consistently selling your stuff at what would be below the minimum wage for the time it took you to make it then obviously thats too low?
@platypus what an impressive achievement!
@varve big “awkwardly looking under the bed for that thing you dropped” vibes
@Betty yeah if it’s a lot of extra work to do the alternation i’d drop it, the picots are more than nice enough on their own
@Betty i like the extra spacing! no real opinions about the alternation, i feel like it’d be fine either way?
@otto as someone often fighting with american software over having two middle names, my sympathies
@bright_helpings this is still residually exemplified when the phrase “the seven seas” is used to refer to the 7 oceans
@edebill pesto is a great thing to fill ones freezer with in my experience!
@crybaby we move the laundry usually! or sometimes put it in the dryer. we’ve never turned it or run the machines though (linguistically)
@platypus haha is normal the one or two syllable version?
@Lady except all the local falafel uses greek pita which doesnt do the pockets
@Lady 🥙
@platypus yeah i think we’ve got the full spectrum in my fam based on age/where exactly in PA they grew up/where they are now — eg. my mom is a berry and bury both sound like barry, but some of my aunts are full churry and i split the difference by saying bury and berry with diff vowels
@platypus as opposed to the other PA dialect which says berry and cherry like bury 😂
@rowyn hm, odd!

@RussSharek if you have a functional oven, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds (optional but recommended: make baked pumpkin seeds with the seeds) and then bake one or both halves cut side down on a cookie sheet for an hourish. until you pressing on the skin on the outside depresses easily
gently scoop out all your baked pumpkin flesh from the peel and mash it up. now you have the stuff to make many delicious treats which call for canned pumpkin/pumpkin puree like pumpkin quickbread or scones or nan gua bing! pumpkin puree also freezes excellently, so you don’t have to use up a whole giant pumpkins worth of pumpkin all at once
@pamela napkin sounds weird but has a fairly sensible connection between meaning and etymology. Map on the other hand sounds totally reasonable but made a very odd semantic jump
@akjcv 1001 nightsing your therapist 😂
@villainousfriend @Betty the obvious assumption for sure
