I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've since been issued new laptops for work that have physical covers built in and I'm a big fan of those, though I know it doesn't disable a mic.

I'm uncomfortable.

My Asus has one and I didn't know about it and FOR YEARS I thought my webcam was broken- it wasn't even showing up in the device manager. I bought an external webcam, because I figured it was pooched and I had to use a webcam sometimes, but not often enough to care into looking to get it repaired.

This is a story about me being dumb.

I would say that an artificial dad is the partner of a married single mom.

I promise you no one from outside of the USA refers to themselves as American, without any other qualifiers. Referring to indigenous groups is also a disingenuous argument- in my experience if you ask one they are likely to self identify as the name of their specific tribe.

Ya know, I've never actually seen a real photo of her before, but I was scrolling and thought "is that that lady with the portrait?" And wouldn't ya know, it is. 10/10 for capturing her likeness and essence. Must be tricky considering the little I know about her seems to indicate she has no soul.

One of mine hisses all the time. She'll hiss and then slow blink. We say that she's swearing and has a potty mouth, because she grew up in the streets. If I hiss at her she doesn't flinch, so I have to physically move her from doing something I don't like.

I start with the smallest, actionable step. And then I don't beat myself up if I can't do more- it's basically figuring out what the smallest thing you can do to make things better is, and then doing that. If I need a shower, what can I do to make it as easy as possible. Then I plan to do the bare minimum but if I find more motivation as I'm doing the task then great! I can have a full shower. If not, well I've only committed to doing the bare minimum so if I need to be in and out in 5 minutes that's ok too.

Costco sells rotisserie chicken at a loss. It's an easy way to get cheap, relatively healthy, low effort protein.

Funny enough, I just finished playing through Paper Mario 64, and you've basically described Peach's chapters. She's able to pass on messages by way of using another character as a messenger.

The way the game is structured is there's a mini Peach chapter in between each main chapter, but I think it would have been intriguing if you never actually got to see Mario's side of the story and only heard about his adventures from the guards, diary entries, etc. Cool idea for a puzzle game!

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?

More Socks (sh.itjust.works)
 

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 (self.knitting)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Timecircleline to c/[email protected]
 

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

Ghostie Bag (sh.itjust.works)
 

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.

Pattern here: https://divinedebris.com/glenda-ghost-bag-free-crochet-pattern-by-divine-debris/

 

I know the colour is light... long story. I hope you can still tell what it is!

Guess the animal (sh.itjust.works)
 

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.
