It takes years to develop the skill to make a pot that doesn't look amateurish.

If you really want to annoy people use one of those glue sticks to stick them on things with the sticky side facing outward.

I still wouldn't rule out being able to polish it with a very fine abrasive, like the 3m sheets, rouge, or such, especially if you can make a small test with something you already have. Possibly toothpaste might work.

I second this, if it's really a hard a material. From the word enamel I assumed a sort of ceramic coating, but the word 'rubbery' gives me a little hesitation.

Anyway, a hard coating could be polished back to a shine with 3M polishing paper. The product I'm thinking of comes in a pack with 6 sheets, each a different grit, and they get fine enough that you could restore scratched and cloudy glass to clear.

Maybe this is too obvious, but I'm surprised no one has said Joe Pera yet.

You might get auto-tremolo playing a theremin.

(Oddly, I web searched 'tremelo' being unsure if I spelled tremolo right, and it turns out Tremelo is a device for reducing essential tremor.)

A basis for morality just naturally follows from the nature of being a living organism.

Tonic water has quinine. Seltzer doesn't.

From what I've read, masking is common in both ADHD and the autism spectrum. I don't know if what you describe falls under that or not, but it bears some resemblance to what I experience and have come to believe is in my case a form of masking.

Tell the audience you're just really serious about tremolo.

Could it be a masking thing? I am reflexively secretive about the oddest most innocuous things. I think this is an ADHD masking thing, a way of preempting the possibility that something I do will be seen as weird. I'm not aware of experiencing it as embarrasment, but I could imagine it manifesting that way.

Big money can buy a lot of sources, even most on topic, and distorts what gets researched. So you still have to look at where the money is coming from.
