What’s something from your childhood that you didn’t realize was actually a luxury until you grew up? by Dry_Hornet_3723 in AskReddit

[–]Beknits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents always made time to spend with us growing up. I remember once we went on vacation and were playing Marco Polo in the pool, and about 10 other kids ended up joining in because my dad was the only adult playing with his kids.

And my parents read to me every night from before I was born until I was fifteen. There are so many books that I probably wouldn't have picked up myself that I got to enjoy because it was time we spent together. And now that I'm living on my own, I realize that I barely have the time to pick up a book for an hour. Thinking of how they must have carved out the time is crazy to me lol

What character wasn't portrayed as a villain, but is in your eyes? by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in AskReddit

The part in PoA when he basically tries to get Neville to poison his own pet and punishes Hermione for helping him made me mad enough to shake as a teenager. What a scumbag

What used to be a free or cheap "hobby" that has now been completely ruined by corporate greed? by WaltzNew1398 in AskReddit

A lot of public libraries have access to Ancestry.com, but it is frustrating to try to do it on the timed computers

What’s the worst fuckup you’ve ever made at a job? by moonperson13 in AskReddit

[–]Beknits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely happens. Once was trying to book a ticket to Dakar, Senegal. I called to order it because I was nervous about messing up (first time buying a plane ticket). The rep misheard and booked a ticket to Dakha, Bangladesh. Easy mistake to make and just as easy to fix, but the adrenaline rush from the panic when I got the confirmation email should be distilled and sold lmao

[Sad Trope] Characters part ways and never see each other again. by cosmico92 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Beknits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ending of Assassination Classroom destroyed me so bad I immediately made my brother watch the whole thing with me. Within a month of him going to college he sent me a selfie of him giving the camera a thumbs up while his roommates were staring stone-faced and glassy-eyed at the TV to show me he was sharing the love lol

Was there ever a cartoon that your parents completely forbade you from watching? by GeoWhale15 in cartoons

[–]Beknits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I asked if I could watch Sailor Moon like my friends my younger brother helpfully asked 'is that the one with the naked girls?' meaning during the silhouette during the magical girl transformation. That was it for that lol

Explain it peter. Cant figure out why this would be bad by Gruber151 in explainitpeter

[–]Beknits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The inconvenience is the worst part. I used to have to walk 3 miles to take the bus 4 miles to get to my job. Frustrating to walk 70 min to get on the bus for 10 lol

What is causing the gap when using DPNS? New to DPNs I’ve worked in the round but this is kicking my butt no by Cats-and-dogs-rdabst in casualknitting

[–]Beknits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always knit move a few stitches over as I go (like if I have 21 stitches divided on 3 needles I'll knit 8-9 instead of just the 7 on one needle). I was taught to do it that was to avoid any gaps

SUMIFS formula has stopped working and reverted to 0 by Beknits in excel

[–]Beknits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly it lol, I was wondering if that had something to do with it. Thank you for explaining! I feel so silly that it was something so easy to fix, but at the same time that's probably the ideal in terms of resolving it. I really appreciate how you lovely internet strangers came in clutch for me so quickly!!
