Or a communist, if anyone wants to spread the rumor!

I upvoted this comment without even reading it.

The Dresden Files vampires don't exactly fit, but you did make me think of White court/Red court vampires

That's really interesting, same goes for religiousness.

I always think that it's because people who have it rougher need something to look forward to (ie afterlife). As education helps escape poverty, people become less religious. I wonder if this association is the reason for the political spectrum shift too, since the right tends to associate more closely with the church.

That's a very interesting take. Especially realist vs pessimist. However, I've definitely used 'reality checks' on people who were down on themselves. It represents an alternate perspective, that can be considered or rejected.

That 25% magic number

Next time I get the bug to watch some anime I know what I'm checking out :)

What stories are those?

I think even a plane crash where no one was hurt is more headline-worthy than a train crash with no one hurt. Fear sells, and many people have a fear of flying.

What happens a lot more frequently is landing gear failures or engine problems that still have a smooth landing. They do pull out all the stops though and will have emergency response on standby the moment they aren't sure the landing gear deployed properly.

Lately I've been really liking gemelli! More pasta per pasta.

Bro the Patrician is actually smart, and has his people's best interest in mind. He invites disagreement - why do you think he kept promoting Vimes? And everything he does is full of compromises.

I've sunk probably a thousand hours into Slay the Spire, have beaten Hades, and just finished Cult of the Lamb. Looking for something else to scratch that itch- preferably on switch. Any suggestions?

Update: Y'all convinced me. I bought Binding of Isaac and am excited to start. I also tried out Dead Cells via Netflix, but feel like I'd prefer it with a controller compared to mobile. Gonna start with Isaac, and wait for a sale on Dead Cells. Thank you for all the recommendations! I'm saving this thread for future reference.

 

I'm looking to build shelves beside my fireplace but need to trim my mantel width down to accomodate them.

I have access to a circular saw, a reciprocating saw and a jig saw. I could also get a router if needed.

This is from a diy website but they had this part done by a professional. I'm just curious how you would go about cutting this. What tools should I use?

 

I mean, if an elephant dies what do they do with the body?

 

I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

 

Apologies for the crinkly right off the needles mess. These are a gift and don't fit me, and I don't own sock blockers (yet).

Vanilla Socks but I made the cuff go straight into the heel because the recipient likes ankle socks.

 

Vanilla Sock by Crazy Sock Lady on magic loop in Estelle Sock twin crazy ball. Was not a huge fan of the yarn, as it is pretty splitty and a little rough but you guys I did it! I made my first ever pair of socks! And the rusticness of the yarn helps hide my beginner mistakes lol

 

I'm the crocheter who asked where to start learning to knit a few days ago. I'm now working on my first project.

I'm making a hat! Currently on my 5th row and absolutely hooked (forgive the crochet pun).

Question for knitters (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works to c/knitting@lemmy.world
 

What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.

I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.

Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?

Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!

I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.

My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!

Thanks again

 

Second ever bag, first time following a graph. Tons of fun. Now I have a bag to use for the next month and a half!

I really like the way the green turned out. I used scrap yarn so the white was actually a 3 instead of everything else which was a 4, and only have a 3.50 hook. Overall, still in love.

I made this as a gift, but long story short I don't have the right yarn colours or the right sized hook or the right eyes. So I improvised. Hoping it still reads as the animal I intended!

Ps. The recipient knows my current status and why I can't procure the correct yarn, etc. They'll still appreciate it I'm sure.
