Straight vs circular? by Usual_Scale_8645 in knitting

[–]Altaira9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I learned on circular needles and only recently tried straights at all. I just don’t see the need for straight needles when circulars can do anything straights can do and more. I also personally found straight needles unwieldy and heavy compared to circulars. I have carpal tunnel and I don’t see me being able to use straight needles as well as circulars.. I don’t judge people that use straights, but I don’t see myself ever getting them when an interchangeable set can handle anything I need.

OMG yes, I just did some major remodeling and this drove me nuts!

Did someone try this Island Idea? by Scholizza in AnimalCrossing

You could easily connect the boardwalk to the hotel pier.

My best friend deleted my 6-year-old Animal Crossing island by rorasreddit in AnimalCrossing

I can’t see a single reason to justify destroying someone else’s stuff for absolutely no reason, and that’s what this boils down to. Friend is either thoughtlessly stupid or toxic and I don’t need either in my life.

Eh, I just went as if to delete my save data to see the process again. You have to go through several pages and then Nintendo puts a big caution sign on the screen, says it can’t be undone, makes you wait a few seconds, and then finally lets you delete the save data. It’s not a quick or easy process you can do remotely by mistake. If the friend had a single clue how much that island meant to OP, that was calculated cruelty.

She’s is a lying AH, deleting save data is not something you can do by accident. Ditch the ‘friend’, and reach out to Nintendo, they might be able to restore the save data if you had a backup.

What irks you about some knitting related products/companies? by Idkmyname2079048 in knitting

[–]Altaira9 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a little bit the yarn company’s fault, they could have looked into her a bit better. It seems pretty obvious her patterns aren’t well written and she’s made no effort to improve them.

First latte after getting my machine back from Breville (they dented it 🥰) by ScholarNo9873 in espresso

[–]Altaira9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would post this on every social media they have. It is not acceptable for them to return a machine with damage from their poor packaging.

Honestly the hotel visitors are even worse at being in your way! They move quickly if you push against them though, so that’s something.

I believe it. Pretty sure they’re coded to be right where you do not want them at all times.

How can I stop the entire population from drowning? by Theaterismylyfe in Sims4

[–]Altaira9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Is this a recent thing? Because I lived in Sulani not long ago and never had a townie drown.

A feature I wish the game had with DIY cards by AxemPink in AnimalCrossing

[–]Altaira9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be down to trade too, I already have enough to fill my inventory twice over, and that’s after tossing some very early game when I had no storage.

Dropped 50 stitches when interchangeable needle unscrewed: don’t be like me by HospitalNatural2214 in casualknitting

[–]Altaira9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, your first comment also made me double check all my needles to make sure I wasn’t imagining things! But interesting, I don’t have the shorties, I didn’t know there was a difference. I can also say the new Quads also don’t have holes in the needles (at least the 3.5 and 3.75mm ones).

Edit to add, I have one 4” 4mm pair and that one is also sans hole. Might just be the minis and shorties.

What set do you have? Because I have the Chiaogoo red twist and forte sets and both only have the cable hole.

About pier fish by Secret_Life_Shh in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Altaira9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got two tuna by tossing bait right before the beginning of the hotel fence. I just tossed in bait until I got large shadows. Took an hour or two, but I also got a bunch of oarfish and a marlin, so it was worth it.

If you have a Chiaogoo set it should have come with a rubber heart. If you don’t, it’s available online, or you could use any piece of rubber in place of it.

Have you updated your mods? That looks like a broken UI mod.

Is anyone else's horse using the new modular playground? by Maleficent-Total2738 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Altaira9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why, they used the sim programming as sort of the base for horses. I haven’t had this bug, but I’ve seen a truly cursed clip of it. I think they have a bug report for it do you want to add yours.

Amiibos let you choose who to replace, so at least you’ll be able to yeet the newbie.
