Well stingrays are closely related to sharks, and sharks are smooth so....

If the order Testudines refers to turtles then all tortoises are turtles (though not all turtles are tortoises).

Have you read any of Nassim Nicolas Taleb's work? His writing is what comes to mind when people defend economics.

Not at all the same vibe, but the John Dies at the End series by David Wong (Jason Pargin) is technically cosmic horror. And extremely funny.

ETA: As someone who also would have been hated on by Lovecraft, I am happy to have been able to read his works while they are open domain and he doesn't benefit from it. I have weird feelings about his works, but I do like the melancholy atmosphere he's able to create. My favourite is the Shadow over Innsmouth, which is ironic since it's basically a fable on the horrors of race mixing while I happen to be biracial.

Hilariously this is actually anti-disability. Many people have mobility issues without needing a wheelchair all the time, and really benefit from having places to sit. Removing a seat removes that option.

Fun fact, if you're a visible minority people will ask you the same question in English speaking countries!

Reading is allowing someone's thoughts directly into your brain. You're letting me transmit my thoughts to you right now.

Thanks for this thread! It's a little less absurd but my immediate thought was The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. Phenomenal read.

it's the door that opens with the gentle touch

Thank you! I think that this can really help me. It's how my husband gets around it when we divvy up chores and I somehow didn't think I could do this for myself.

How do you accept the demand avoidance though? At times it's so bad for me that I cry when I try to ask myself to do something that needs to be done?

Thanks for sharing, that is a neat design.

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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.
