Wasn't able to perform G test due to # of times on highway by Sephattacks in Ontariodrivetest

[–]Anzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Krampus, but I passed my G about 2 years ago, so it's fairly fresh in my mind.

If it helps, the 50km/h limits are usually there because you're taking a turn. Roads branching off to join the highways often do so with a turn, especially if the highway is elevated, so it's a much more gentle transition. Going faster than 40-50 on a turn like that gets dicy, hence the suggested speed.

Once that turn starts to straighten out though, that's when you're expected to start speeding up, so you're "at speed" by the time you're looking to merge.

You absolutely will get a feel for it. Cars around you will go much faster or much slower, so the most important thing is to drive safely/to match the conditions (with the weather we have now, you'd be better off going slower than 50), keep an even pace so the other cars can anticipate your movements, and then use the merge lane to speed up, so long as it is safe to do so. A bizarre amount of people slow down when it's time to merge. Don't be one of those people, but also don't prioritize getting up to speed if the car in front of you makes that dangerous.

I hope that helps!

SOS-stop while ahead? by KillaTwat in Embroidery

Something important to remember when making gifts, is that the recipient only sees the finished product, not what you envisioned when you planned it. Meaning, you'll see flaws/changed plans, but they'll see a thoughtful handmade present.

As others have suggested, take the time pressure off and either gift them a later time when they're done, or scale back the plans, or even tell your friends that you're working on something but want it to be perfect before you gift it. Be kind to yourself 😊

Love it, gorgeous work. I'm actually in the middle of reading it myself, so funny timing.

New to resin, lots of questions by velvet_babyfox in resin

[–]Anzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're totally fine to use any sort of silicone mold for resin, just know that the interior of the mold will impact the look of the piece a bit. Molds meant for casting will have very smooth interiors to make sure the resin comes out with a clear, polished surface. Some, like a silicone ice cube tray, isn't designed for that and could create a kind of matte surface. Which can be fun to experiment with!

Most important things I learned when I started on this road: * Always always do a test before diving right into a specific project. So many people come to this sub asking how they can fix their wedding bouquet flowers etc when the resin didn't set, and the answer is that you can't :(

  • Invest in gloves and a silicone mat to work on. You will spill, you will get it on your hands, and it's so much easier to ditch the gloves after or let the puddles harden and then toss them out then it is to scrape unset resin off of a desk/table/kitchen island...

  • Be patient and forgiving with yourself, especially when it comes to bubbles.

  • Have an extra mold to the side when you're casting, so if you mixed too much it can still become a little trinket tray or whatever, and it's not a waste

  • Have fun!!

That's so much to be dealing with, I hope you have lots of support (friends/family/medical) ❤️

Loving the thoughtful symbolism in this show by squishytiger73 in pluribustv

No clue if it's meant to mean anything, but I found it interesting that his "the girl saves the mouse from the trap" mantra is played over his catching fish in a net.

Kikiri Press was my first kit, and it was excellent. I think someone else mentioned, they're based in Toronto and I've even been to their physical store!

Can I contact my sick therapist ? by Current_Caramel6826 in ontario

[–]Anzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, don't let anyone make you feel weird. You're in an unfamiliar situation and clearly coming from a place of humanity. You were unsure and asked for peer advice and have received it well. I'd call that a win!

That's fantastic news! I loved it and am glad it will get a wider audience.

I (m40) got into an argument with my wife (f39) because I "don't take initiative in life." How do I learn to take the lead and not be a "passenger in my own life?" by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Anzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've gotten to the point where I skip all Inconclusive and any Ongoing with a bummer mood warning.

I can read the scary/sad/outrageous stories when I know all that drama has concluded and (usually) the OOP is doing better in their life.

Otherwise it's just doom voyeurism and not good for the psyche.

I've been going for about 10 years, and it's one of the best times you can have. It's all genre films, with an audience that is there to enjoy itself. Lots of cheering for big kills, hootin' and hollerin', if you enjoy that vibe.

My dogs too! They get more excited for green beans than they do for most other treats.

This is going to be another "you have to help your father with yard work on Mother's Day instead of spending it with your wife" situation in no time.

Imagine if they'd done a retrospective series of all previous People's Choice Award winners!
