That means the wins are concentrated to a few while the losses are spread out

Haha I'm pretty proud of my paint idea

I made the glue from 1 part corn starch and 10 part water by weight, microwaved until boiling.

I found that serrated knives cut cardboard best, but they need to be re-sharpened often. The cardboard absorbs a lot of glue so it need to be applied multiple times before sticking together.

I used paper to secure the joints between the cardboard pieces and to wrap the outside before painting. The glue doesn't really stick to acrylic paint, so it should be the final part, and you can't add anything else afterward. If I do it again I would leave to table bare, or maybe use watercolor

Made from cardboard and paper and painted with acrylic color. It has bowed down a bit in the middle since then, but it's still fine otherwise.

I kept "running out of space" when trying to build the apk for delta chat. Turns out it's trying to build in /tmp, which has a hard limit of a few GBs on Ubuntu; I just need to remount it with more space Can someone mention this in BUILDING.md?
