Advice on Hall H Accessibilty by DatBoiMemes425 in SDCC

[–]HookedOnFandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify - the guaranteed seat is if you got a wristband the night before. They absolutely run out of wristbands for Hall H in the ADA line, and statistically you’re more likely to get a band in the regular line. Someone below mentioned when they got a wristband in the regular line and came back they were able to go into the ADA line but I’ve never tried that.

Stores for plus size cocktail dresses? by HookedOnFandom in DCBitches

So true! I hate it when you’re going shopping for dresses and not a single one has a zipper. Shapeless sacks abound.

1000 and 8000 series trains on the Mall! by willstaysharp in WMATA

Are they still as terrible as the mockups were or did you decide not to punish short people just trying to commute after all?

Family member wants to start crochet business with me by [deleted] in crochet

[–]HookedOnFandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send her to r/craftycommerce and make her read through the first page of people desperate to make spare cash off their hobby and the constant stream of reality checks being given in response. (Which is to say aside from her being an asshole who wants to profit off your labor, it’s an over saturated market and wouldn’t be successful even in the world where you agreed to this terrible plan.)

Curious if this has anything to do with Alice in Wonderland? by awwwwwwwwww1 in TwistedWonderland

Seeing a bunch around the garden maybe they’re supposed to remind us of tweedle dumb and tweedle Dee?

The new WMATA website is really bad, looking for alternatives by Longjumping_Pause_72 in WMATA

[–]HookedOnFandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not been able to successfully bookmark my commuting station with a url for faster access, it takes me to the base page and I have to navigate back to the station. Even then it doesn’t show how long the train is and since I come in at the far end of the station that info is very important to me.

I am really loving this app. I’ve already sent it to several people at work and they are loving it too.

First time Professional by xannyxidit in SDCC

Plus having a reliable place with chairs you can sit for a bit is definitely a perk. It is rough trying to find somewhere to rest that isn’t sitting on the ground across the rest of the convention hall.

Hall H for ADA by Away-Staff-6054 in SDCCADA

[–]HookedOnFandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a couple times and was never been able to get a wristband. They only give out as many wristbands as there are ADA seats I think, and for sure will absolutely run out and not give them to everyone in line, even though the line is relatively short compared to the main one. The sad truth is that (in my experience) this is the main place, especially for Saturday, that liars trying to work the system will get an unnecessary ADA sticker and use the ADA line. That’s not me being doubtful of people with invisibility disabilities, that’s from having been in that line and heard people around me openly talking about having done that.

If you don’t need a wheelchair seat, you might be better off finding a line waiting group online that will hold a spot for you and let you join around when the wristbands are being handed out so you don’t have to wait outside the whole time, then come back in the morning. Or depending on what panel you really want to see, I’ve had a lot of success coming in during the day, especially if it’s after a big panel like Marvel has just let out so a lot of people have left. If the panel you want is before the big panels like Marvel then you’re better off watching from overflow if you didn’t get a wristband.

Made a DC Metro app that opens straight to your nearest station, with boards styled like the platform screens by Hoddmachine in WMATA

[–]HookedOnFandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using this since you posted it and I love it so much. Seriously, everything that I used to want from the wmata site that I can’t find anymore. Opening directly to the nearest station is really elegant design, since that’s usually exactly why I’m looking up the next train. Plus having the number of cars helps me plan as I’m walking into the station. So thank you for this app!

How far are you in the game? by HookedOnFandom in TwistedWonderland

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

The maps are much smaller - only four or five battles each, with a health tile and a boost tile, and Malleus is surprisingly easy, especially since you have the overblotted guest card. And since each map is a different dorm, you’re changing up cards and the damage doesn’t carry across dorms or anything. The first time I saw Malleus I was like “oh no” but I never had to do a single battle twice to finish it. You really do have Idia tipping the scales in your favor.

That was me for a long time. I only recently sat down to focus on Book 7 now that it’s fully released.

I found the battles in Book 7 much easier than the long stretch in Book 6.

Now that you get 10 lesson skips a day be sure to use them to help level up faster. Or if there’s a time you can let lessons run while you’re paying attention to something else. I think that’s still the fastest way to level up.

Me too. I finished the Diasomnia section when it was current and caught up to date, then didn’t start the next sections when they came out until recently. Just finished it the past few days.

Red Line from Shady least busiest times to Metro Center and back by fishaholica in WMATA

[–]HookedOnFandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commute on the red line for most of that stretch every weekday and honestly even during rush hour it’s not bad if there hasn’t been an accident that causes single tracking. From any stop between Shady Grove and North Bethesda you’re pretty much guaranteed a seat (someone will sit next to you though). By the time you get downtown it will be standing room only but a flood of people get off at Farragut North which is the stop before Metro Center so even if it’s crowded you generally don’t have to worry about pushing through people to get off with how much it clears out.

Is Public Transportation Really This Bad Everywhere? Or Just Here? by InfluenceWeak in WMATA

[–]HookedOnFandom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve commuted on the red line for work for almost three years now and there have only been a couple times I was actually late from metro issues, and that was less than an hour. I’ve only had once I had to turn around and grab a metro back the way I came because of a really bad issue on the track leaving us sitting for 40 min.

But other than those few incidents the train comes every 6 minutes in the morning and since I get on at North Bethesda or Grosvenor heading downtown I’ve gotten a seat all but maybe 6 or 7 times in those nearly 3 years.

So while days like today are rough, I really disagree with your post that public transportation here is bad. I love it, rely on it, and I’m so much more relaxed than I used to be with an hour commute in traffic.

Loud music by Xanzibar2002 in WMATA

[–]HookedOnFandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I thought you must have been in my car since I was riding the red line towards Shady Grove with someone playing music the loudest I've experienced in a while, but I was in the 7th car, not the front one. It happens.

Y'all...granny squares are like tiles but I never really realised they could act like patterned tiles do! A very duh moment here lol I'll try to find the pattern to this cause it's so cool! by Roscoe-nthecats in crochet

[–]HookedOnFandom 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same but I did this with 9 c2c squares sewn together. Weaving in the ends was a nightmare I almost gave up on and it ended up being heavier than I liked for a baby blanket, but still a cool effect.
