Phi for All

Smaller sculptures are easier on aging hands, but it's hell on the eyes! I can easily imagine most of the detail being done with a pin or needle, but the difficult part is removing what you don't want and leaving what you do so you have something to detail. Seeds and nuts are so much softer than wood.

I don't eat clay or marble either, but I use these things (along with almonds) for sculpture. Not everyone can handle the danger involved in cyano-artistic expression, but you shouldn't let your fear keep you from enjoying the most important part, the kernel. Allegedly carved from an apricot kernel:

They should grow apricots. You get the delicious fruit, and in the center of the pit is a kernel that looks just like... an almond! Finally, our nation's mini-chiselers in drought regions can carve their nuts and eat them too!

This is actually a prerequisite. We don't allow people who know everything. You're very welcome here. ⚛️👨‍🔬

ravell has been suspended for 2 weeks for ignoring several warnings about the rules on linking offsite. Please don't make members go offsite or download data that you could easily copy and recreate here. If your aim is to persuade, show some respect for the rules.

We only spambanned them because the robot left out, "Don't forget to drizzle some on your huevos tomorrow for breakfast!" This is why we still need people.

I disagree. I think every response so far accepts that you don't think a matriarchal society would have any innovation and would stagnate. YOU aren't grasping what they're telling you, that it's more likely that innovation is a human trait, and women would display it in proportion if they were in charge. There is PLENTY of precedent throughout history, and even more in our current day.

Yet hunting an animal seems to require a more subjective focus, where gathering requires a more objective one, since gatherers have more "prey" (by a couple of orders of magnitude). I don't have any evidence either, but I've always thought the exact opposite. I think men tend towards more tactical, subjective thinking, where women tend to be more strategic and "big picture" oriented. I may have to let this go though, since I've never seen much beyond personal observation to support the idea.

westom has been suspended for 3 days for continuing personal attacks. We focus on ideas here, and we rigorously attack THOSE to make them better. People don't work that way, so we strive for civility and respect when it comes to our membership.

Sebasfort has been banned after his first 5 posts here. We normally have more patience trying to get people to take their fingers out of their ears and actually DISCUSS a subject, but nobody here deserves to be abused from a soapbox like that. All rant, no reason gets old FAST.

Joseph Lazar has been banned for breaking our rules against sockpuppetry and abusive posts (among others), and for his tireless efforts to raise awareness about how unsupported his ideas are.

"Sadly, this" refers to Strange's learning about the album only because the writer died. He wasn't talking about "that", so your argument is an obvious bananaman.

Perhaps this is Twinings way of helping the police put these criminals behind bars, like dye packets in the money from bank heists. Green is the new black.

Is the honey darker in shade than the tea? If so, it would naturally make the tea darker. You mention it turns "black", but you also say it turned a "dark color". Which is correct? Not all dark colors are black.

Marzipan is made from almonds, and is undoubtedly easier to sculpt with: The big question is, can they get it to taste just like chicken?

Both your sky spirit and your imagination seem to have rejected accumulated human knowledge. Ignorance is bliss! Enjoy your strange, self-induced feelings.

And we learned a lot in each so far. Why reject so much accumulated human knowledge in favor of the unevidenced power of your sky spirit?

And you think scientists are rigid thinkers, behind the ball when it comes to the future?! Most of us have moved past the Bronze Age.

Let me guess, it's on her Kaboom!

Which, coincidentally, happens to be my Native American name.

Does being bipolish in Warsaw mean anything different than elsewhere? Have you posed for any of the geeky magazines? Really well done, Janus. Ya know, someday these scientists are gonna invent something that will outsmart a rabbit.

Sometimes I wonder if you're really serious about being a nerd, koti. You're never at the rallies, and comments like this make me question your sincerity.

Bugs Bunny in front of a lithium-cracking facility? Hilarity will ensue, surely.

Nothing is ejected from a black hole once it goes past the event horizon. Past the EH, the curvature of spacetime is so severe that nothing has enough energy to move on a path other than straight into the degenerate matter.

We don't get in anywhere? We spend most of our time? Again, how does it help to mischaracterize the situation? We do progress, we spend time improving, but a LOT of progress is stifled because so many people claim we aren't doing anything, and they ignore the good that IS being done in favor of complaining.
