@maj Do you cross the 25-pair threshold?

@evan I'm not 100% sure I'm at less than 25. I'm pretty sure I'm double digits in docs alone. But some are hard to access due to their location in the large closet so.. out of sight, out of mind.

@evan Who owns less than one pair???
@pizaaman it's a diverse world and I like leaving the possibilities open.

I always seem to wear the same SAS work shoes, but I do have some other, virtually unused shoes, including formal dress shoes, off-brand not-Croc plastic sandles, and some duck boots.

@evan 2-5???!! Can't believe it. What savages are you??!

@maj Do you cross the 25-pair threshold?
@evan Nope!

@evan Including those in storage??

@evan in the before time? Steel toe boots for work and 1 pair shoes for all other of life's activities. Now? Shoot. I can't get enough. I'm not up to 25 yet, but I plan to far outpace that in the next couple years. 😁

@evan so… not including sandals or boots, right? 😅
-
@evan Depends what you mean by "shoes". I have different footwear for different purposes, but only one pair of each.

Hopelessly privileged, but there needs to be an escape hatch for inherited footwear of which I have two pairs, one of which are ancient.

So, the new Firefly is a prequel. Or a midquel, between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity. Which feels pointless, to me. Like, it's pre-spoiled.
I get the urge to get fan favorite Alan Tudyk back as Wash, but...I'm just not interested in that story? At least not interested enough to watch a cartoon.
I'd prefer it if they picked up right after Serenity. And, I'd love it if it was live action and picked up 20 years later. That's an interesting story that I'd watch.

How to Grow Large Sugar Crystals
Many substances display crystallization, allowing them to keep adding to a basic shape to reach pretty humongous proportions. Although we usually tend to think of pretty stones that get fashioned into jewelry or put up for display, sugar also crystallizes and thus you can create pretty large sugar crystals. How to do this is demonstrated by [Chase] of Crystalverse fame in a recent video.
This is effectively a follow-up to a 2022 blog article in which [Chase] showed a few ways to create pretty table sugar (sucrose) based crystals. In that article the growth of single sucrose crystals was attempted, but a few additional crystals got stuck to the main crystal so that it technically wasn’t a single crystal any more.
With this new method coarse sugar is used both for seed crystals as well as for creating the syrupy liquid from mixing 100 mL of water with 225 grams of sugar. Starting a single crystal is attempted by using thin fishing wire in a small vessel with the syrup and some seed crystals, hoping that a crystal will lodge to said fishing wire.
After a few attempts this works and from there the crystals can be suspended in the large jar with syrup to let them continue growing. It’s important to cover the jar during this period, as more crystals will form in the syrup over time, requiring occasional removal of these stray ones.
Naturally this process takes a while, with a solid week required to get a sizeable crystal as in the video. After this the crystal is effectively just a very large version of the sugar crystals in that 1 kg bag from the supermarket, ergo it will dissolve again just as easily. If you want a more durable crystal that’s equally easy to grow, you can toss some vinegar and scrap copper together to create very pretty, albeit toxic, copper(II) acetate crystals.
