Haha that's so interesting that your stats prof can make some extra dollars on the side through analysis. That's a huge discrepancy between the betting odds and the polls

I've not heard two of a kind used like that, but it's interesting to hear 'of a kind' scales logarithmically.

I mean it makes sense. There are bets for everything. But the political betting odds website SENT me. Do you have anything to back up that they are more reliable than polls? I'm genuinely curious.

Oof. I used to be that way (and a light sleeper). White noise really helped keep me asleep, and got me to where I don't need it anymore. I'm sorry that it didn't work for you.

Love the smell of pool water!!

But I thought the CAFE act was introduced in the 70s (and in addition to the chicken tax) resulting in the "light truck" market taking over north america. I don't know why police switched from the crown Vic in the late 2000s to SUVs rather than another sedan

Ford stopped making the crown Vic, but I don't know why they went to SUVs.

I think it's normal to have an emotional reaction to certain crimes, which is why there is a jury selection process, and such a thing as recusal for conflicts of interest. Someone can logically be against the death penalty but call for it if a loved one was murdered for instance.

I don't think one emotional outbursts makes a whole political spectrum shift, but I could be wrong

I think it's more in line with abolishing the current for-profit prison system in favour of a system that actually decreases recidivism.

ETA: I know that technically the death penalty would also decrease recidivism but I don't think the government should have the power to have people killed. I was thinking along the lines of the Scandinavian systems.

I was objecting to calling root beer coke lol

Root beer is the best coke.

What in the deep south is this

How does it feel? Being the smartest person in the room?

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 (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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

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.

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.
