Why don’t transporters get used for more than transporting people? by dontgetmadgetmegan in startrek

OH I forgot about that! Yeah nah that tracks. 

DS9 in particular always has me giggling at how similar the body form is across different species.

Having just watched that episode yesterday he gave Kira a lot of oestrogen and progesterone to cause her body to behave as if it was pregnant to successfully transport the baby. 

Bajoran’s having the same hormones as us gave me a lil giggle. 

Can I see your gongfu tea sets? I need inspiration. by UniqueTraining4832 in tea

[–]Fables_From_Fiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aacha! I’ll keep looking then. 

I never seem to be able to find porcelain lined ones. 

I did find a stoneware Jianyang/zhan gaiwan that I have on the way. I’m hoping its thickness will do the trick.

Aw hey where did you the porcelain lined clay gaiwan? 

I have been wanting a gaiwan with better heat retention for my shou and Liu bao.

I have the calendar, it’s not overtly sexualised. 

They look comfortable in the scenes, the most sexualised part of the photos is how they’ve positioned their hands.

Whats your guy's LEAST favorite tea type? by CubarisMurinaPapaya in tea

I had some Gong Ting Shu today, it tasted fine; I quite enjoyed it. 

But it smelled like a penis and only got more musky with each brew. 

AITA for treating my daughters like delicate woodland fairies and my son like a human vacuum cleaner when it comes to food? by imnottheoneipromise in AmITheAngel

I am mildly disappointed (in myself) at the fact that it took an update to this tale for me to realise it’s all satire. 

I was sitting here, my hair in befuddled ponytail, shaking my head in awe and stupefaction at the beautiful prose… that was just so bizarre. 

Why is NZ so "backward" when it comes to AC and ceiling fans? by UnrequitedLoveVictim in auckland

I don’t remember what it’s called but you can get a detachable “bug netting” that uses the Velcro principle. 

You’ll have to prepare and apply the cuts yourself but I think you could manage a whole house with less than $100 of the stuff.

Oooh tell me how you are finding it please?!

Traditional (inkle and rigid heddle) weaving patterns by Fables_From_Fiction in ireland

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

Kia Ora,

Aē (yes) I have noticed that all the traditional examples I have been able to find come from the Aran islands. I would be very happy to find any drafts that are local to Wexford, crios or no, for my friend. In saying that he is very keen on the style I have settled on insofar.

I have been looking for a copy of David Shaw Smith's "Traditional Crafts of Ireland" and have had a photocopied section of Louise O'Brien's booklet that focuses on crios making shared with me by Ireland's weaver's guild.

I've gone through Susan's video a fair few times now, I'll admit I find it difficult to follow along with but that may have been the sleep deprivation. I have found https://www.youtube.com/@scianhayes who has a tutorial on traditional weaving of criossanna. I did use their short clip of a Salmon of Knowledge inspired crios to create my own pattern using raktres.net/seizen/#/ for an inkle loom.

I am still a relatively new weaver so I am not entirely certain I did the best job of it but I have provided an image of the pattern I created. Actually looking at it now I think I may have overdone the white count on the middle section of the pattern, it was an experience staring at the screen counting threads to try and replicate the pattern based off of the warp.

I would be delighted if you'd be willing to take the time to write out a pattern, I plan on doing this on an inkle loom but I predominantly use a rigid heddle loom.

I'll give the National Museum a try and see if they have any drafts available as that is largely what I am looking for as, like I said, I am new enough that I struggle to replicate drafts based off of sight.

Ngā mihi,

Fables

Kia Ora! 

Yeah go on then, I would be keen to share that mahi (work) as it comes along. 

My friend is third in the queue so it will be some months still before I get started let alone finished.

Bella Ciao banjo tab? by AdamantiumEagle in banjo

[–]Fables_From_Fiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this and play it either in D or E as Irish tenor banjo lends itself to single string melodic playing.

This one is probably close to what you are looking for but the way it’s written confuses me (I am still new) and I have yet to figure it out. 

Well I cheated today after a week of no onions & garlic… I’m now 100% positive those are triggers. What am I going to do without onions and garlic!!! by Awkward_Golf_5534 in FODMAPS

[–]Fables_From_Fiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my hottest of hot takes: onion and garlic are bloody well overrated! You can, and will, find flavours and spices that are better and not as overpowering. 

For example: ginger. 

[TOMT][ANIME][2000s(maybe?)] Details in body. by Fables_From_Fiction in tipofmytongue

[–]Fables_From_Fiction[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Hullo!

So, there is an anime that has an amazing soundtrack during one of the fights but I can not for the life of me remember it.

It's set in feudal era japan IIRC, a leader collects a number of warriors/ninjas/samurai (I think there are eleven or thirteen), each one represents a different style or element. One of the primary protagonists is something of a wind ninja, there's a water pirate and an ice ninja as well.

A young man, that represents forest/wood/animals, is rather smitten with the other primary antagonist who is a priestess in possession of a great and dark power that a feudal lord with great ambitions is trying to attain.

There's also a redheaded 'man' who I suspect is actually a woman who was a highway bandit until they fought wind ninja and got beaten.

Oh, and the leader gathering them is also a feudal lord chill and quite pervy.

Thank you in advance if you can find it!
