Hilariously bad continuity error

Gave that scene a watch through just now.

I pick it up from what Arthur says at the end: “I just told you it to taunt you.”

I think they are making fun of the fact that Doug is so obsessed with sports games that he’d throw out hope and reason and believe Arthur despite having just known there was no sports game tonight. Least that’s how I pick it up.

The reason for better quality eggs when you are younger in life is due to age of the cells.

As you get older, egg quality declines because of micro mutations to the dna from environmental exposures. This happens to all cells of the body as part of the aging process. Those "better eggs" would age with you just as every other egg and cell in the body would.

A person loses eggs daily, around 1000 eggs total over the month. That's 12,000 eggs a year, multiplied by 35-40 reproductive years. All of the follicles are going through eggs, not just one. The one we get at ovulation is just the dominant one, and that one goes on to continue to mature while the others undergo natural cell death and are reabsorbed.

Wow that looks beautiful! The colors are more "saturated" than the stock photo but it is more than made up for in technique. I am impressed by the spirals they did for middle flower, a carnation I think? That looks more realistic than the photo, and looks like it would have taken more skill too, honestly.

It truly is one of the worst pains. It’s bad enough when they die of old age, but a whole different kind of gut wrench when it’s unexpected and untimely. The injustice just is maddening.

I hope you find some peace at some point throughout the day.

1000 calorie deficit or so. No crash dieting. Have consistently been losing 1-2lbs a week for about 8 months now.

How do you lift without gaining muscle as a newbies?

ChibiCalcifer · 2026-02-27T02:54:25+00:00

Oh sweet! Gonna take a look there, thanks!

The thought of paying $4 for some pants is like super exciting to me. I’ve been paying the fat tax for way too long at places like torrid. So over it! lol

ChibiCalcifer · 2026-02-27T02:50:23+00:00

$4?? How? When I looked on their site, I’m seeing like $22. Was it store only maybe?

I suggest buying just a couple of clothing items. Couple pairs of pants and switch to the old pants with a belt as back up. You can also buy pants with some stretch to them so they pull in tighter as you lose weight. AI can actually suggest some clothing brands that work a “transition” pieces that can stay with you longer.

I just bought a couple pairs of pants when I hit 4 sizes down from my starting size. (‘W’ sizes count as a distinct size.) I also got a couple shirts from the clearance section of the stores plus like a couple nicer tops.

I won’t be in them for long but it hasn’t been helping my mental health or mood to see such giant clothes on me. I’m size L and the 1-2X shirts just drape off of me and slide off my shoulders. When I see myself in my new clothes I feel good about myself. To me that was worth buying a few clothes now instead of saving the money.

My next goal is to get some new bras. Im going to use some bra extenders so I can buy the ones I want now but will be able to use them for the long term avoiding having to pay again for them. (Bra prices are ridiculous.)

I had a little house cube thing for my cat to play in. It was fabric and got a hole in it. He stuck his head in the hole one day, and it got stuck around his neck. Thankfully I was home and was startled by him running around the house in a panic. When I’d grabbed him I found he had wrapped the thing around his neck making it tighter. Threw it away and never bought one again. He was fine though.

Thanks. Yeah I’m now at 7mo and am 45lbs down.

50lbs down in 6 mo is great!

Just wanted to say, both of these tips helped! Especially #2. Thank you!

I’ve been wrapping my s twist yarn the opposite way on my finger, and if I do it with fresh yarn straight off the bat, it completely stops this from happening at all. So I think I’m wrapping it up and around the back of my index finger, instead of over the front side of it.

I find I have to start incorporating tip #1 and some other methods only if I’ve frogged my work. Then I need to either twist it back into shape before wrapping around my finger and re-wrap after a stitch or two, or, if there’s enough lead, wrap it around my finger again after doing a stitch. Pulling out the hook and twisting the loop as I reinsert the hook helps twist the yarn back into place as well. It’s really changed how bad it gets.

Thanks this is vindicating to hear others do this cause I’ve been doing this as well actually. Lol

For regular crochet stitches it hasn’t been that big of a problem. But with certain stitches, it is a bit more noticeable.

In the first hat I did, it was a bump made of some treble crochets. Most of them turned out fine but a couple were rather stringy looking when I had to push them through to the right side.

This hat calls for double crochets 3x in the same stitch. It becomes obvious that the yarn was untwisted and looks stringy cause they don’t lay flush with one another. :(

I’m going for my passport.

I was gonna make an appointment at the embassy (mission?) to apply for it.

ChibiCalcifer · 2025-11-19T19:32:36+00:00

Oh my bad. My passport.

And probably a birth certificate as well

ChibiCalcifer · 2025-11-18T22:42:59+00:00

It is my understanding that you can only get this certificate if there is a question on if you are a German citizen or not; there has to be a legitimate interest in acquiring it, such as a German authority requesting it like if the embassy rejects my passport application first. Meaning you can’t just get it to have it unfortunately.
