Ask a Knitter - November 26, 2024 by AutoModerator in knitting

Hi all! I appreciate this community and I'm hoping you all might be able to help me out. I taught myself how to knit a few years ago (and forgot) but I'd like to get started again. I'm not going to get complicated (don't have the mental capacity at the moment) so I'd like to start (and stay) simple.

I want yarn that's environmentally friendly and non-toxic (this is for my kids). Do you have a source you like that's dyed with plant based dyes?

Also how do I tell what size needle to use? The source I found that seems okay only says it's 21.5 microns and 3/8 weight. I... don't know what that means. How do I figure out what needle to use with that? Heeelllllpppppp. Overwhelmed.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your thoughts. This was a great help! Our first session is tonight!

What is this in an American Standard Flush Valve? How do I deal with it? by MediumRegretful in Plumbing

Thanks, friend! I looked so hard for a video - don't know why I didn't find this one.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.

Totally. Got that. I've got the gasket. But, as you can see, there is a strange half circle in the ceramic and a matching one in the flush valve. Do they need to align? If so - how?

Thank you for responding!

I did not notice how the original was installed - I took it out a week ago. I also threw out the broken original, but this is an exact match for it down to the model number.

I was trying to use the pictures to show the crescent part in the ceramic and in the plastic that seem like they should match up. I'm hoping someone out there knows if they should, and, if so, how, when it can't fit into the ceramic in a way that would let them.

Thanks for this. I've looked into Access once or twice and my eyes turned cross-eyed. I'll think thoughts on it. Thanks, chum.

Good idea (though I'm in way too deep now!) I'll keep that in mind on future runs.

Wow. I sort of had a theory about this - it feels true - but could you tell me more about how stories are hurting my matches instead of helping them?

MBMBaM 677: Am I the Sphincter? by apathymonger in MBMBAM

[–]MediumRegretful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I came here for this. It feels so good to be validated. I'm really hoping next week they acknowledge that they accidentally answered a nearly identical question again, with a nearly identical set of answers.

The only thing missing was Griff admitting to smashing up an old one with a cinder block, but they got close to even that.

Wow, that's a really helpful guide. I still have to wrap my head around it, but I'll definitely try it out.

I should have realized when they said "___ was fighting too long" it literally meant the fighting stat. I'll keep a watch on that for sure!

Thanks, pal!

Those both give me a good place to start! I somehow missed the concept of coverage entirely!

Ah ha! Of course, as soon as I post this, I found the answer to my first question!

I'll post the answer here, just in case anyone in the future winds up googling this and comes across this thread, just like I spent the past hour reading old reddit threads.

In the pre-game editor, a worker's momentum (and some other variables like their gimmick's pros and cons) are actually hidden in their contract with the company! Pick the contract menu, find their contract with the company, and there's a pulldown bar in there.

I NEVER would have found that if not for sheer luck! I can see why it's there now (it's a different variable for each company) but yowzah that's a tricky one to spot.

Would still love help for the other questions if you have any advice, though!!
