  • Capitalist authority vs. worker authority

  • Because the USSR fell 100 years ago.

  • I know exactly who thrived during those times. Party members. If you only listen to them, sure, you’re going to get a different story.

  • I am just telling you how things were from the perspective of someone that lived those times and their aftermath. Long lines to everything, incompetence and kafkaesque bureaucracy, one factory that produced stuff efficiently had to be a crutch for the inefficient ones, people that had to work in mandatory coops including children. Oh, and the means of production never went to the people, it stood within the party. And that’s just the general stuff in both EE and USSR. I won’t go into details on how Stalin was the head of a single party which had absolute control over the people, ergo dictator. And I am sure he wanted to step down, just like Putin allowed Medvedev to be a puppet for a few years. Oh wait, this new Russian dictator actually truly stepped down for a bit unlike the pretend attempts from Stalin. Let’s be real.

  • Do you want me to take you by the hand and show you the spectacular progress made in the eastern European countries? All run by dictators , all answering to the Bolshevik boss. Stalin was a dictator by definition. The USSR was just another colonizer. And I say all this because I have first hand experience, most some nostalgic books. That does mean the current system is good, I want it gone. But the romanticization of USSR remains nonsense.

  • Rights? In the USSR? All I know is that they bled dry their satellites, kept under severe pressure their so called allies and it was run by a dictator. Weird nostalgia, but misplaced.

  • Are you serious?

  • Lonely people of the internet, What are your thoughts on valentimes day?

  • Anyone else reaply sensitive to changes in temperature?

  • Out.. of the house?

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • No worries. I am actually looking forward to any feedback. And I also thought that it may be better to find some way to hang it, although it does need to be both be functional and look good.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • Well, yes, the old poison bottles had an apothecary-style design.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • I really get you, but I didn't really have much room into choosing the tap. This is the smallest, decently looking food-grade spigot I found readily available. And, if the bottle was larger, it would become an even bigger tripping hazard than it already is. I still have to find a way to prevent it from easily fall down from something like a shower niche.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • I suppose some wear off will occur in time, but the pattern should not rub off despite repeated washing at least for a few years. Then again, you're right that the laser etched bottle will remain the same forever. I went with an amber glass because the formula inside may be unstable and react if UV hits it.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • I have both. They're a sort of prototype for something I am currently developing. I just couldn't decide which looks better and, as always, the people here are very helpful, for which I am very grateful.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • The bottles are meant to stay in a bathroom (the photo is taken in a shower niche).

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • The photo is quite accurate to how the bottle looks in real life. You do need very good lighting for the pattern to pop.

  • Which bottle looks better?

    Jump

  • It's meant to be a reusable bottle for pretty much anything. There are no plastics involved. I will be using it for a shower gel initially.

  • Is there a non toxic spigot?

    Jump

  • I'll obviously never use leather for any future products. I did have graphite in mind, but it's still on the drawing board (another project). Right now I think I will have to give up and rely on the food-grade spigots that are available on the market. I would honestly make them myself from scratch but the investment required is astronomical for me right now. Maybe in the future.

  • Is there a non toxic spigot?

    Jump

  • I have been trying to get my hands on some pump dispensers from like 100 years ago. I am curious how they used to be made then. Obviously no plastic, but perhaps rubber was most likely used.

  • Is there a non toxic spigot?

    Jump

  • I actually wasn't aware of the natural rubber vulnerability to e-coli... And the spigot will be placed in a highly humid environment. So I guess back to the drawing board.
