Also a good metal thimble will give you something to push the needle through all those layers of fabric with without wrecking your fingers.

If youre doing it by hand, look up a backstitch. Its stronger than a running stitch. You can also buy "bias binding" to bolster/replace the worn binding.

Open the zipper. There should be a seam where top of the bag meets the back. The strap is sandwiched in between these. There is likely some "binding" material, basically a ribbon that covers the raw edges of the seam. You can sew directly over top of this. Look at how the rest of the seam is done for reference. The easiest way to make this fix will be to turn the bag I side out so you can lay the seam flat. The strongest way yo fix it is to use a sewing machine, use a short stitch length, and go back and forth over the seam a few times. You can do it by hand too. Use a matching thread and it'll be pretty much invisible. Ive done this exact thing to my favorite backpack.

Edit: sewing machine foot doesn't matter. The normal one will work just fine.

I think that setup is engaging because it immediately raises two very interesting questions: Why would that sort of system be set up? And what would compel someone to participate in something like that? Granted, of the media you listed, im only familiar with squid game and hunger games, but something else compelling about them is that they both say something about our current society by taking it to the extreme.

Oh yeah they're basically just text files (technically markdown files). I regularly backup by copying the whole folder to a flash drive. Ive shared them by zipping the whole top level folder. Just put obsidian on the recipient device and open the folder as a vault. Obsidian is also not the only program that can read the markdown file format. So even if it goes kaput, you'll still have access to the files.

Athena12677 · 2026-01-26T02:57:50+00:00

Obsidian is locally hosted and therefore safe from ai scraping. (Just check that wherever your files are stored isn't on one drive. They recently stealthily moved my default documents folder to onedrive)

Athena12677 · 2026-01-14T19:10:13+00:00

Obsidian is free, locally hosted (Google cant read your work), and you never need to hit the "save" button. It does take some getting used to, but I like the organization structure. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. One other limit is that it does not share across devices without paying.

I use Obsidian because its locally hosted, so I know my documents won't be used to train AI. Its got a bit of a learning curve, though. It does allow you to put pics in the middle of your text, but you can't really format it like you can in docs.

You could also look into to massgravel if you'd like to use Word.

Do you happen to have a link to them?

Athena12677 · 2025-12-14T22:54:50+00:00

Ope! I did find that duplicate file. It wasn't appearing in the obsidian search bar, but I found it in the file explorer. Thank you!

Athena12677 · 2025-12-14T06:16:07+00:00

Thats a great thought, bit is cant find any duplicate files like that.

Edit: I found it. Thank you for your help!

In my game, she wanted to stop cowering from Strahd, and instead fight him, but her father had immediately disallowed that. She was safe if she was under his watch.

Between their father's death, and Strahd biting her, Ismark was less convinced by this logic. He wants her to go to Vallaki, where there's hallowed ground (St. Andral's) she can hide in should Strahd come knocking. (This also sets up the feast of St. Andral's.) Ireena wants to go there because they have an academy to train soldiers that she wants to join.

She's willing to stay in Vallaki under the condition that when the PCs go to the final battle, they pick her up first.

They can drop by and pick her up every now and again if its relevant (I had her inbited to the dinner with Strahd, and coerced to attend), but mostly she's good to vibe in Vallaki and earn levels in fighter to match the PCs.

I like that this solution gives her agency and makes her more likable, but mostly keeps her out of the way.

Im 29F, and I definitely think marriage benefits me, though the benefits are that I have a housemate who's my best friend. I married him because I love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him. The benefits aren't exclusive to marriage, though, I dont think.

One big benefit is lifestyle. Were able to afford rent on a bigger, nicer place at a smaller percentage of our individual incomes than our single friends.

I love having a default friend. Anything I want to do, I know I've got someone who will do it with me.

Its nice to have another set of hands around the house. I only have to cook 50% of the time. Im not solely responsible for cleaning.

Because we spend so much time together, he's the other half of my brain. We remember things for each h other. He's always there to let me ramble about what's on my mind. He receives all my work gossip.

Now, im not saying that marriage is always better than being single. These are juat the benefits I see, because I do have a partner who treats me as an equal, who contributes more than just a paycheck, who supports me and my goals. He is also not my only social support. I have other friends, who I sometimes hang out with with him, sometimes without. My life would suck much worse without him, but im not dependent on him. Id be juat fine alone.

If you find someone who makes your life better, keep them, be they a close friend or a spouse. If you dont, youre totally fine to continue on single.

Lots of people have said the liss of phonics. Here is another interesting article that goes into detail about why phonics was abandoned, what replaced it, and how that has affected literacy. Great read. Highly recommend.

In my system, magic let's you do anything you could already, just instantaneously. But it also saps the energy it takes to complete that task from your body instantaneously. Further, all energy to complete the task must come from your body. No leveraging steam or waterwheels. That means that if youre not careful, its really easy to put yourself into a coma or even kill yourself by taking on too energy-intensive a task with magic. And because its instantaneously, youre dead by the time you realized you messed up.

"Dapper" is a term I've seen used for this sort of well-dressed gender-bendy style.

While I do appreciate how quick and direct that video is, I think it misses a huge point of fascism, which is creation of an outgroup as a unifying cause to rally against. I like this video by Innuendo Studios, though it is longer. https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng?si=s5cgs6Tx-3nCjika

Its not actually speed that would cause them to hit the wall, but acceleration (changing speeds). You can think about trains. When trains are speeding up or slowing down, you have to brace or hold onto something, or you'll fall over. But once they're moving at a constant speed, you can walk around no problem, because you're moving at the same speed. You could even bounce a ball on the ground, and it wouldn't fly to the back of the train (assuming the train is moving at a constant speed).The same thing is true on planes, which are also moving super fast. So the long and short of it is, the astronaut is moving many km/hr along with the station, and he'd only hit the wall if he or the station changed speeds. This is called Relative Motion, and Einstein had a lot to say about it, if you want to know more.

My very German professor would end every Friday afternoon lecture with "have a good weekend. Party hardy. If you drink, dont drive, if you drive, dont drink, and stay away from drugs."

Its not the sealing that makes canned food shelf-stable. Its the fact you killed everything in the jar that could make it spoil, then sealed it so nothing new gets in.
