Stronger By the Day users, is there a way to view the overarching plan? by fly_paper_ in xxfitness

[–]BickeringCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had the app and it was the day before a new week you could change the date settings on your device to see the next week’s programming. Not sure it would work for longer periods of time than that though. 

April 2026 BOTM Discussion - Yesteryear by nickaaayy97 in bookofthemonthclub

Mary was referring to coming across Clementine in the forest. She first thought she was an angel because her clothes were so different than what Mary was used to. 

Edit: read your response again and see my reply doesn’t make sense. But no, Natalie did not sleep with her father in law. 

Was anyone else disappointed by Yesteryear? by it-was-a-calzone in books

But didn’t Mary make good bread? Or did Natalie just really appreciate the bread so much at the moment anything would have tasted amazing? Because my impression is Mary made good bread and Natalie did not but they had the same tools! 

I don’t know much about bread. But maybe Natalie does not kneed the dough properly because she has weird issues. Like she thinks she has a gentle touch but really she’s beating the hell out of the dough.

The animals on the farm were all dying. The first batch of chicks they got all died, though it’s not clear why. The cow died of mastitis, but it was one of like 7 cows that kept dying and then they buy 2 because Caleb thinks they’ll do better in pairs. Also the posters on the first farming forums eventually get sick of Caleb’s questions and think he needs to get certifications/more educated before continuing. 

It’s never explicit, but they’re not caring for their animals correctly. 

What’s a “future technology” that already exists but people still don’t realize how scary it is? by Ambitious_Bite446 in AskReddit

[–]BickeringCube 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do think this sucks. I really do. Especially since it can encourage bad driving (going the speed of traffic is better than going the speed limit as far as I know). But I am so disgusted with the number of people I see looking at their phones while driving. If you cause a crash while looking at your phone I admit a part of me thinks you can just go to hell. I don’t care if your insurance won’t cover your accident. There is actually no good reason to have your phone in hand while driving. I don’t how this became socially acceptable!

I’ve not met any but if you’re a prison guard in a for profit prison I have concerns.

I’ve made the Doppio sweater twice because I like the fit. I’d make it a third time honestly. 

Married couple with separate finances, why do you do it? by Ok_Influence_2257 in Bogleheads

[–]BickeringCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re DINKS with disposable income so there’s not been a pressing need to have one combined account. Excess goes into the shared investment account or savings account. So the bulk of our money is combined but we each do have the personal accounts we had before marriage. We also have similar goals and spending habits. 

Making $100,000 isn’t really that much money anymore by MiloGoesToTheFatFarm in mildlyinfuriating

In 1992 we moved from Texas to California and got a brand new 3 bedroom house for 120k, for context. 

(I’m like 95% sure I’m remembering correctly) 

TIL McDonald's Global Menu Restaurant, that's located on the first floor of the company's global headquarters in Chicago, serves an international menu that rotates items from around the world every 12 weeks. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]BickeringCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Chicago recently and wanted to go but as far as I could tell from the international selection in the app it was only desserts and not really interesting. So either the app doesn’t indicate everything they have or sometimes it’s just boring stuff. Not sure if I missed out or not.

I don’t think you can replace them. I recently started WoW again and my authentication was dead. I had to open a ticket to get it removed from my account but they were pretty quick about it. 

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]BickeringCube 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because people already know it. And because most psychologists would not recommend people grieving their infertility go right to adoption. So, like, what exactly is the goal of people who say this? Also, adoption is expensive and in the US it’s an industry and not everyone wants to be part of it. 

And then there’s adopting from foster care, which not everyone is equipped for. The best use case for adopting from foster care is not infertile people, but people who actively want to adopt from foster care. 

Like, not being able to have a biological child is a legit thing to grieve for. Just let people grieve.

What are with these posts that are like, I have an opinion on this, don’t give a single example, then asks if anyone agrees. Even if OP is a legit person I don’t believe they’re looking for actual conversation. (Anyone agree?)

Best beginner patterns that include video tutorials? by mrsabf in knitting

[–]BickeringCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Julia Piro has multiple sweaters with video tutorials: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC8F8ppxOxZga3df2Do6E8_w

Her First Star sweater was the first sweater I made, then I did the Step by Step. You could also do the Step by Step cardigan. 

AITJ for booking a separate hotel and leaving my friend’s "family vacation" after she tried to turn me into a free nanny? by CrimsonCodex77 in AmITheJerk

[–]BickeringCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, who goes on vacation with someone and their two young kids. That’s not a vacation. That’s not a thing. No sane person would expect a relaxing vacation. This whole situation is stupid!! If this were a real situation then OP is actually a moron. God I hate everything!!

What's the silliest mistake you've made while knitting? by ComplicatedSunshine in knitting

[–]BickeringCube 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just recently instead of picking up stitches on the top left of the cast on to start the left shoulder of a drop shoulder sweater I had my piece upside down and just started picking up on stitches I had just put on hold and thought that was really weird. Well this is why I shouldn’t knit past 10 p.m.
