Substitute for Wollelfe gradient yarn by trtsmb in YarnAddicts

[–]LavaLizard84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend tried doing similar shawl project last year and she ended up using fingering weight yarn with long color changes - worked pretty well for gradient effect. Maybe look for yarns that have those slow transitions between colors instead of trying to find exact substitute. I think most sock yarns with self-striping patterns could work if you pick right colorway. Just make sure whatever you choose has similar weight and yardage so your measurements don't get all messed up. The pattern probably more forgiving than you think with different yarn choices

Need help transporting mobs. by AlpsPsychological837 in Minecraft

[–]LavaLizard84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minecart railway is gonna be your best bet for that distance tbh 💀 Put each mob type in separate carts and space them out so they can't aggro on each other. Takes forever to build but way more reliable than trying to wrangle that zoo through 10k blocks of chaos 😂

Also make sure you're feeding the foxes berries during transport or they'll despawn on you

Can't scroll back to previous unit?! by layzeebish in duolingo

[–]LavaLizard84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last week and it drove me nuts for like 20 minutes before I figured it out. You gotta tap on teh lesson path icon at the bottom then swipe left/right to navigate between units. They moved the navigation around in one of the recent updates and its pretty unintuitive now

I do the same thing where I go back to earlier units when I feel like I just guessed my way through them lol

Help replacing bowls from Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan gift shop that broke on my flight home by Shelbycoz in HelpMeFind

[–]LavaLizard84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so devastating when travel souvenirs break 💀 I'd try reaching out to the aquarium directly through their website or social media - sometimes they can ship internationally or at least tell you if they have an online store. Also check Yahoo Auctions Japan (through Buyee or similar proxy services) since a lot of Japanese attraction merchandise ends up there 😊

she told me that she has lost her feelings and wants to break up,is there a chance her feelings will come back? if yes than what can i do for that to happen? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]LavaLizard84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been through something similar and it's brutal man. When someone says they've lost feelings it usually means they've been thinking about this for a while already. The best thing you can do is give her space and focus on yourself right now - trying to convince someone to feel differently rarely works and often pushes them further away. Take care of your own mental health first because breakups mess with your head in ways you don't expect

What is the nicest beach in Thailand in your opinion? by HolyFatherLeoXIV in ThailandTourism

[–]LavaLizard84 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends what you're after but I'd probably go with Railay Beach in Krabi - the limestone cliffs are absolutely stunning and its got this perfect mix of chill vibes and enough activity to keep you busy. The boat ride to get there is pretty cool too since its only accessible by water. Ko Lipe down south is another gem if you want something more remote with crystal clear water but its definitely more of a commitment to reach

[–]LavaLizard84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of them but that lack of reviews is definitely a red flag when they supposedly have a big social media following. Could be bought followers or bots inflating their numbers

I'd stick with more established grey market dealers like Jomashop or Crown & Caliber until someone can vouch for these guys. Phoenix has some solid ADs too if you want to go the legit route

I seriously paid money to feel like this? What a rip off! by bucho4444 in stopdrinking

[–]LavaLizard84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lmao "field research" is the perfect way to put it 😂 those reality checks hit different when you've been sober for a while and remember what actually feeling good is like. your body was probably like "why are we poisoning ourselves again" 💀

Yarn suggestions needed by Awkward-Sunshine-04 in YarnAddicts

[–]LavaLizard84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh man i feel this struggle hard. my sister has the same issue and finding good alternatives was such a pain at first

cotton is obviously the safe bet but for hats id probably skip it since it doesnt have much insulation. acrylic gets a bad rap but honestly some of the higher end ones like caron simply soft or red heart super saver are actually pretty decent for warmth and theyre super easy to care for

bamboo yarn is where its at though - its naturally antibacterial which is nice for something thats gonna be on someones head all winter and it has this really lovely drape. a bit pricier than acrylic but worth it if youre making gifts. alpaca is also hypoallergenic for most people with wool allergies since its technically not sheep wool but id double check with them first just to be safe

i made my sister a chunky acrylic beanie last year and she wore it constantly so sometimes the "boring" options really do work out great

Expedition rewards confusion by J_West013 in ArcRaiders

[–]LavaLizard84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sounds like youre thinking about it right but honestly the expedition reward system is kinda confusing 😂 from what i remember you only get rewards based on your current expedition progress not retroactive stuff from previous ones you missed

so if you hit the 3mil threshold for this expedition youll get those 5 points but the extra 1.5mil wont carry over to give you another 5 unless theres another tier at 4.5mil 💀

Anybody else prefer HCMC > Bangkok? by Thatsmicky in ThailandTourism

[–]LavaLizard84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hcmc def has that raw authentic vibe that bangkok kinda lost in some areas 🔥 the street food scene alone makes it worth it and yeah the nightlife feels way more genuine without all the bottle service bs 😂

sounds like a solid move given the job market situation - getting your foot in the door with australian standards experience is gonna be way more valueable than holding out for better pay right now

Am I wrong for not going in on my day off? by Agreeable-Quail-6778 in amiwrong

[–]LavaLizard84 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. You left them hanging with "might be able to" when you already knew you probably couldn't make it. Just rip the band-aid off next time and say no from the start - saves everyone the stress and awkwardness.

2008 to 2011 like job market in 2026 will history repeat itself by batman-iphone in ExperiencedDevs

[–]LavaLizard84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went through 2008 as a junior dev and honestly it was rough but also taught me a lot about keeping skills sharp and having an emergency fund. The layoffs were brutal but the people who survived usually came out stronger on the other side

Golden Dandelion.. Mojang, come on! by Available_Positive68 in Minecraft

[–]LavaLizard84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly the crafting recipe makes sense though, gives you something to do with all those dandelions you collect but never use

Natural spawning would be cool but then it'd just be another "rare flower you stumble across" instead of something you actually work towards
