I time block tasks into my calendar for this reason.

You never had a stranger hit you with something personal out of the blue? It happens to me routinely. Yesterday I learned that a cashier at the gas station is tired because she moved a few months back and hasn't finished unpacking but was looking forward to the birthday party her husband was throwing her next week.
Last month I learned a lady had had to move far from her friends and family and hadn't seen her granddaughter in years, but hadn't told anyone because she doesn't have any friends here.
I just ask questions out of genuine curiosity. Sometimes (probably most of the time, tbh) I get surface level answers, but sometimes people need to talk to someone and I've been told that I "have one of those faces" that makes it easy to open up. Just because you would feel you are over sharing, and maybe culturally where you are these interactions wouldn't happen, doesn't mean they don't happen or that they can't.
Are you seriously comparing school shootings to someone being punched in the face after holding up a sign that they likely knew was going to be inflammatory?
Edit: I recognize that it doesn't matter what the sign says, he doesn't deserve to be punched. It is the kind of statement that reeks of teenage edgelord humor, that I hope the young man grows out of. I think the comparison is in bad faith though.
Oof, I think there was a convention of some sort hosted in Switzerland that settled some of these ethical questions in a fairly defined way, a little while back.
Edit: this was me being cheeky about the Geneva convention- unlawful deportation is a war crime. For real though, if you aren't familiar with the Nuremberg trials, the "superior orders defence" has been settled- no ethical quandary about it. It's illegal to follow illegal orders.
Did he do the little nod to get a higher fuel limit? Is this how it worked for him at Chipotle?

Most honorable? Just tell them you made a stupid mistake. You don't need to share the details. Will they talk? Sure. But you don't need to share if you don't want to.
Least shameful? You were mistaken for someone else who made a stupid mistake and didn't have your ID on you. They let you go when they realized you weren't who they thought.
Twilight Princess
Mashed potatoes with kielbasa and dill?
Surprised not to see Horizon Zero Dawn/ Forbidden West on this list! Have you played them?
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?
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).
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.
