#brown

Things are heating up for my dreams of a color furnace! My color base batch (raw glass batch without the usual decolorants) arrived and we found a time that Mike could stop by and offer his sage color melting wisdom while I have both of the workstations rented for the weekend. The furnace is getting dialed in and this will be the first time it is getting used! I mixed the color base really well and we split it in half for two melts. I added black nickel oxide, sulfur, pine rosin, Barium Nitrate and red iron oxide to *hopefully turn my color base into a dark amber Sunday my tube puller in Philly, (and myself) have to work- but Monday we will pull tubes out of the color furnace! Soon I will get all the glass out of the existing crucible, flush it with compatible glass, then take that out and begin charging the brown batch! So exciting! #neon #light #residency #art #sculpture #color #brown #glass #NYC #Brooklyn #science #craft #chemistry #DIY #Urbanglass #notes #sketchbook #dreams

Wowza! The nickel, sulfur #brown color pot was amazing! I believe Mike nailed the density I was looking for even with just one dip of #glass sandwiched between two clear dips of glass, its dense enough where the tube looks black without a phosphor backing or light shining through it. The personal dark color pot is also amazing for recycling- I could throw my bits of color in the crack off bin (shedding off the cooling blowpipes) back in the furnace before dinner to have fully melted, streaky swirly glass after dinner! I saved most of the dense brown glass cleaning out the pot at the end of the night as color bars- the typical way we buy it I have another 50 pounds of #color base- and well over a hundred, 5 foot tubes. The lighter tan color tubes have silver in them. Mike mentioned silver nitrate may be needed for those. I wonder how much I would need for 50 pounds and if it would be safe to melt? I pulled a flawless 50 footer today! #residency #neon #tube #Brooklyn #art #sculpture

@infoseclogger@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange you lose more in the summer, or at least it is easier psychologically, i had a ton of exercise in the last month, if anything i gained weight, I was not consciously compensating to gain or lose. i think you have to calorie restrict but not go into keto - even serious dieting can backfire #brown back fat #ketostix #ketones

I love #trans people #gay people #straight people #white #black #brown and #oriental people too. We're all humans. We do not choose our #culture. Culture finds us. And in that moment, no amount of #pride can, shall or will dim our #passion in the moment. And so it is, that #love binds us to #truth in ways that #obsession (as a potential mental deficiency) can and has attempted to get in the way of. As is the case with some instances of extremes involving breakdowns of social order.

@cstross@wandering.shop Out of curiosity, I just checked. The place to go on the #FediVerse for #BrownFriday plumber posts is Mastodon.Social. Both MastodonApp.UK and Mastodon.Scot have had the hashtag since 2023, but only MastodonApp.UK has pulled the Mastodon.Social posts. Toot.Wales, SFBA.Social, Mstdn.Social, and Mstdn.CA all have the same 1 BlueSky #BrownFriday post, from yesterday; and Mastodon.London and Glasgow.Social have not yet had any posts with that hashtag at all.
