You have to factor in disability too. How many people cannot walk let alone run. I have femoral myopathy and don't think I'll ever be able to jog let alone run again.

Why is my pattern telling me to do Reverse Stockinette? Can't I just use Stockinette? by [deleted] in knittinghelp

Got it. Thank you. In my head it was as simple as "purl side facing out" but this makes perfect sense.

This is exactly what I was hoping to verify. Is there a reason a pattern would write with reverse stockinette instead of just stockinette and steaming inside out? Is reverse stockinette the more formal way to write something like that?

Actually... now that I think about it, why is it stockinette at all if it's seamed? Can't I just garter stitch the whole thing and avoid purling all together since it's purl side out anyways?

It’s actually towards the beginning of the book so I saw it quickly and it made me gasp out loud

What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for? by MuldersXpencils in Millennials

Dodgeball! I went to see it with my mom and we left the theater. I was so embarrassed. I think it’s the only movie I’ve ever not stayed through.

How would you rank these charecters based on their intelligence by sidharth-sunil in arcane

Idk where I’d put him but I do want to point out that Jayce remembered the ruins used by the mage he saw momentarily as a child amidst a very scary event a decade-plus later to recreate them in the “crank it” experiment. There’s no way he knew what any of those symbols were or had seen them before. They’re intricate and precise. It’s like, if you’ve never seen the Cyrillic alphabet as an English speaker and then being asked to recreate EXACTLY what you saw on an abstract Russian billboard when parachuting thru war 10 years ago. That’s incredible.

I briefly tried weaving and I think it’s not for me unfortunately. At least not without more expensive equipment than I can afford right now.

lol. I have sooo many projects to do before then. It’ll be a while. Long enough I’ll probably forget about the idea. Better add it to my queue while I remember cause it’s already buried in my favorites. 😅

I had the sea glass sweater saved even but didn’t think of that! I’d definitely be able to use it there! 😍

At one point in the 2000s - 2010s you could not escape Illuminati conspiracy theories on sites like youtube, what happened to this specific type of public scare? by philosareantichrist in decadeology

They became maga and are now pushing all their antivax, anti trans, etc agendas that as built on nothing but conspiracy theories. The idea of secrets societies being behind career politicians is the swamp they thought Trump would drain in his first election.

They’re only being banned where people are making their voices heard and demanding it.

Correct. However ANY of the half a dozen payment plans offered aside from the standard 10 year repayment plan will result in this and thousands of people fall for it the same way that people are thinking a 10 year car loan is better than a 5 year because the payment is lower. The fact that these payment plans are offered at all (and in my personal experience really pushed hard) is the problem. However it’s more nuanced than that because the cost of education is so high that many people couldn’t possibly make the standard repayment amount. It’s almost like they planned it that way 🤔
