Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever. 4( No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Little jars are great to hold screws when you need to take something apart to work on it.
I swapped to egg cartons. Many attached “compartments” in sequence make them convenient. As a bonus, it used to piss off my parents, who were incapable of organizing their projects, because egg cartons look silly.
I do the same but with ice trays
And many ice trays are stackable.
Open egg cartons are stackable!
WHAT?!?
Over a half century on this planet and TIL.
Most packaging is stackable open or closed or both because it has to be efficient at one point. There are still dozens of sizes and standards for cylindrical steel cans though, very annoying when you have a lot of different ones and some are imported, so they're almost exactly the same size as some of your local ones but won't stack because the lips are the wrong size.
My issue is that I can't use jars for a purpose like that unless I have enough matching little jars.
If I have a pile of screws with 20 different types of screws, I will need 20 identical jars before I use them to hold that pile of screws.
Now I'll have a loose pile of screws and a pile of 30+ mismatching jars awaiting a final purpose.
