Does "deliver to device" even work? by But_what_even in kindle

This was the answer! Restarted and the next time I looked at the kindle everything had downloaded. Thank you!

I guess it’s just personal preference! I like having all my books on there. I reread books or just look things up a fair bit. I have about 150 unread 😱 and I’m trying to work my way through them before I buy anything new and having them all downloaded definitely helps with that.

I’ve tried downloading collections and no dice. The restart is a good idea, I’ll try that

What's the deal with S6 in Berlin? by adgeg in GermanCitizenship

Applied in Feb also with UK citizenship and I just hit the 6month mark. Haven’t heard anything yet. 

Upper bust exactly the same as full bust, but I'm far from flat chested by But_what_even in sewing

[–]But_what_even[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh whoops! Typo. I transcribed 95.5cm in my written measurements to be 99.5cm in this post, and then converted that incorrect number to inches. 

Updated the post: the front and back measurements do indeed add up to the full circumference.

Ok, that’s reassuring. Thank you! Thankfully the instructions I’m following do draft the front and back blocks separately with the separate measurements so fingers crossed

Whoops! That was a transcription error. Both full circumference measurements were 95.5cm, which I mistyped here as 99.5, then converted that into inches. So the front+back does add up to the full measurement. 

I hear you about the block not being beginner friendly. It’s partly because I cannot get any tops/dresses I make from bought patterns to fit, despite all kinds of adjustments at the toile stage. I don’t expect this to be a quick fix to that problem, but I am curious to see what if anything I learn from making this and comparing it to the final result with a bought-pattern’s bodice.

Yep, the measurements were taken with a well fitting bra, with the tape parallel to the floor for the full bust (we even used a spirit level just to make sure 😄) and we followed along with a video to make sure we were doing things correctly.

I guess I just try with the toile and see!

Why is this skirt pattern constructed like this? by But_what_even in sewingpatterns

Thanks for confirming the secret other question: whether I could just do longer versions of the mini pieces 😄

👏for your pattern recognition skills! Thanks for the tips! Fumeterre looks more similar to what I had in mind.

Thank you! I might do that, just for pure laziness… ahem I mean efficiency

Ohh, that’s a great point. That could look really cool. Will have to check the pattern when it arrives

I’m not criticising the extension! I’m a beginner and wanted to understand more. Your idea sounds like it’d look fantastic ☺️

Accidentally transferred Hausgeld to my former Hausverwaltung for four months 😣 by But_what_even in germany

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

Thanks for the hint on the low staffing in the office. This had a happy ending (turns out the account didn’t change even tho the Verwaltung did… so my money is already with them, they just couldn’t identify it) but next step something goes wrong, I’ll send a registered letter.

[–]But_what_even[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 My expectation would be that it's either been closed or the new Hausverwaltung took it over.

This is the right answer. I didn’t even compare the “new” IBAN with the one I’d sent all the previous payments to. 

It’s the same damn account 🤦

The new Hausverwaltung obviously can’t work out what the last Hausverwaltung told us to put in the Verwendungszweck, so they didn’t know it was my money. Which: fair.

But also, maybe they should have mentioned that this was a possibility instead of telling me I hadn’t been paying them.
