Cinnamon roll

“[first image] The raw dough has been rolled out, spread with cinnamon filling, rolled up, and cut (with a string) into individual rolls. Seven rolls have been placed in a pan for the final proofing, which will take about an hour. [second image] The shaped and filled cinnamon rolls have proofed (rested in a warm place) to rise for the final time. They are ready to bake. [third image] These cinnamon rolls are being baked in a solar oven. (The plastic bag around the edges of the pan is part of the solar oven.) This picture was taken about two-thirds of the way through the baking process. The dough is dry on the surface but still obviously raw. [final image] These cinnamon rolls are fully baked and ready for eating. These cinnamon rolls were baked in a solar oven.” - via Wikimedia Commons

Living off-grid has never been easier. Whether you are a boater, or RVer, love fishing, sailing, camping, or van life, or want to live more independently, GoSun has a product you will love. They are passionate about our innovative products and how they power our customers’ lives. GoSun has developed breakthrough solar technologies that can cook, cool, light, charge, or purify using only the Sun. With our solar gear, the adventure never ends.

This solar oven is a remarkable invention that harnesses the power of the sun to cook food with ease, regardless of the weather or season. With its ability to reach temperatures of up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, it offers a versatile cooking solution for various dishes. Solar ovens work by using sunlight to heat food. The sun's rays enter the oven through a transparent window and are reflected off the inside of the oven, which is lined with a reflective material. This trapped heat cooks the food.

No, no, Jack can canonically speak cat (source: DAY in the LIFE of Sun’s CATS in VRChat). He actually should be translating for Solar.

He can speak cat, but Solar is too tiny yet of a cat to fully speak cat himself other than meowing for food, warmth, or attention.

I realized recently (read: today as I'm writing this) that while I associate certain specific fiber arts with Athena (knitting, weaving, dying, and spinning), I associate crochet specifically with Apollo, though Athena's there too, of course. I think it's because it's more free-flowing: I can freehand something with crochet more easily than I can with knitting, both because I've known it longer and because there are fewer Things To Learn, unlike knitting which has a million different techniques that may seem interchangeable but actually aren't and that all affect the end product in a pretty big way (looking at you decreases & bind-offs). Because I can free-hand crochet more easily, and I grew with it the same way I did with drawing, they have similar vibes. Knitting and weaving, on the other hand, have steeper learning curves imo and are way more structured- and I associate more solid (dare I say rigid) structure with Athena. Embroidery and cross-stitch are kinda in their own floating category, maybe because I do them less and therefore have weaker associations with them over-all. I associate hand-sewing largely with Hestia, though again, Athena is always also there, because I associate it with mending, altering clothing, and making home items (ex the quilted pillowcase I've been mentally turning around in my head for the last few weeks).

Interestingly, I find printmaking specifically to be associated with both Athena and Apollo. It leans into the latter's domain, of course, the same way crochet does Athena's, but the structure you need in order to layer & print properly without hurting yourself, ruining equipment, or fucking up you edition seems reminiscent of Athena. Dyeing, especially making & using natural dyes, feels very much like an Athena thing despite it 1) feeling similar to painting or using inks and 2) being a trial & error process that's honestly pretty free-flowing if you approach it a certain way (especially if you do solar dyeing, which doesn't necessarily need some of the more meticulous processes you need to boil-dye something).

The name tag is finished

I did a couple art fight attacks while the paint dried since I didn’t do any yesterday (whoops)

All that’s left is to add the red accents and attach the zipper to the hoodie, expect this Tuesday night (Wednesday morning)

We don't appreciate Mars enough for being not that horrible.

Every other place in the Solar system except Mars and Earth is a literal hellhole, while our lil red boye is just very unpleasant.

For example:

Radiation on Mars is a problem, but not die-in-an-hour problem, more of a die-decades-later problem ("only" 4 times higher than the levels shown to be harmful)

The temperature varies between pleasant and slightly worse than Antarctica, but we have thousands of people on Antarctica! And most other places are either permanently 3 digits in the negative or hot enough to melt some metals.

The gravity is only 38% of Earths, but except Venus(i hate Venus, check the tags) and Saturn(literally a ball of gas, nowhere to live or even stand on) it's the best we've got.

The atmosphere is barely there, but it's potentially a resource from which oxygen can be made.

And water, Mars is the king of water. There is ice at the poles, there is maybe water beneath those ice sheets, there is permafrost all over it, and there might, in some deep holes, in the hotter parts of summer, even be mud!! Mud!!! That's basically just very dirty liquid water.

Tl;dr, it's by far the least worst place after Earth, and we don't give it the praise it deserves for that.

found dead in my shed because it was 500 fucking degrees in there and I spend too long debating with myself about which pot would be the bright size/shape for my stupid plant

Testing the solar oven and threw some bread in it. About 275° for 2-3 hours. Good but didn't get that nice browned top

I spent all day cleaning out the upstairs closet because I developed a personal vendetta against it because I cut my finger on a wooden shelf because I tried to move it out of the way because I was trying to get to the Christmas stuff that goes on the banister because I was supposed to put it up today but I guess I cleaned out the closet instead
