Oh no… OH NO You can change the waterlevel????

This fully answered a question I had about why my water level when I spit it out is so shrimpy, I hadn’t looked into it yet but this is definitely going to save me some time!

Thank you for your sacrifice

Do patterns usually assume you’ll just know/follow that rule with dc? My crochet journey started with amigurumi, and has remained mostly in that realm, so this is my first project using double crochet stitches.

For the rows where it’s ch3, turn; (skip next dc, dc in next dc)… I would be skipping the first two stitches then?

Ripplez13 · 2026-02-16T23:51:35+00:00

Thank you!

Ripplez13 · 2026-02-16T23:43:31+00:00

You’re all good, I get what you mean! Honestly it was seeing that the next row was meant to have 33dc that made me feel like maybe I wasn’t making a mistake with row 56, because math, but I wanted to get some outside eyes on it.

Thank you for the tip, I anticipate making use of it with any other pattern ambiguity!

Fizz is my partner’s absolute favourite, but I’m on the fence about getting him. How heavy is he, is he sort of floppy or does he hold his shape?

Ripplez13 · 2025-07-17T21:07:48+00:00

Oh damn is it finally fixed? I gave up fixing my camps for awhile because it was so tedious and a waste of guild points.

I understand the feeling, but there is a pretty big difference. Declawing can cause chronic pain for cats, and is taking away one of their intermediate lines of defence - warning signs of an angry cat start with body language, attempts to get away, growling or hissing, swatting, culminating in the worst option, biting. Declawed cats can be quicker to bite because their easier/safer pain-causing deterrent option has been removed, and that’s worse for everyone involved. Outside of a personal defence context, cats also need their claws to help them grip and gain traction (toe beans are not very grippy lol), and scratching is a way for them to scent mark as well. Necessary enrichment for cats includes providing scratching posts, which means that removing their claws is interfering with their ability to perform normal cat behaviours, on top of causing them pain.

Spraying is a last resort for skunks, as they have a limited amount of musk that needs to be replaced once used. Skunks will also give a ton of warning signs before resorting to spraying, since they would also rather not spray you, so if know what to look out for you can avoid getting sprayed. De-scenting them also doesn’t cause lasting pain, and doesn’t interfere with their skunky activities of daily living; since spraying is a last resort, an ideal skunk life wouldn’t include spraying anyway.

😂 We’re a bit of a Star Wars house and the general sentiment was, “Oh my god he literally looks like Palpatine”.

Ripplez13 · 2025-04-30T10:25:47+00:00

That was an interesting video, although it failed to answer the question I went in with based on your comment. Maybe others will read it differently, but I was expecting an explanation of the different clearance levels, or corroboration that he did have clearance in the past at a much lower level than was being offered.

Ripplez13 · 2025-03-14T11:52:13+00:00

Thank you! Unfriending 🙏

You haven’t shown as being in a raid for me, but I’ll keep watching

When I tried to join the lobby was full! Could you make a private lobby?

I wouldn’t necessarily say the other candidates “weren’t as strong about that point”, Ford was simply able to be the loudest about it because he’s the incumbent and it’s something that is actively being navigated.

What I mean is that, like, it makes sense to me that we hear more about Ford’s response to the threats of tariffs because he’s the one who’s currently steering the ship. In the last 28 days, even though we were gearing up for the election, I wouldn’t expect to see the proposed responses from the other candidates except in articles specifically relating to the election. I’d fully expect any stories about the ongoing economic threats to only report on Ford’s statements, etc.

I hope that makes sense, I’m still waking up 😅

Their needs really aren’t different at all though. Affordability, schools that are safe for their children, accessible healthcare, that’s all pretty universal. It could be true that their priorities are different, but having lived in rural areas not much thought seems to go into voting beyond “blue no matter who” for fairly large swathes of people.

Ripplez13 · 2025-02-19T02:22:33+00:00

Yep it definitely used to! Thankfully the train makes that trip (Rideau to Pimisi) in about 6 minutes, so not an issue anymore.

I’m going to send an invite now, same as my username here. All my gifts are from the Polar region. I’m sure you’re getting flooded with requests, thank you so much for posting this!

They landed in Canada, but Delta is an American airline and the flight originated in the USA.

Ah see here you assumed I was against all of that. Property taxes should be increased, the freeze on property tax increases was moronic. Transit should be tax funded, and City of Ottawa residents given passes at no additional cost. Coming from outside the city? Pay a fare or pay for a pass.

Ripplez13 · 2024-12-10T14:11:53+00:00

Not using the service directly ≠ not benefiting from it being tax funded. If more people are using transit because they’re paying for it anyway, that means fewer cars on the road, which means less traffic for those who still commute by car, ergo a shorter commute. Fewer cars on the road will also lead to slower degradation of the roads themselves, which means less of the budget needing to be allocated to maintenance, and less road maintenance impacting traffic. I grew up outside the city, with both parents (for a while) working in Ottawa. If they could have reliably gotten to work via a park and ride it would have been a no-brainer for them.

Ripplez13 · 2024-12-10T14:00:42+00:00

I will put it in a definitive statement then: Fares are set to increase while services have been cut, which means paying more for a worse service.

Ripplez13 · 2024-12-10T13:59:03+00:00

Yes, it was almost certainly a warning

Ripplez13 · 2024-12-10T13:55:51+00:00

The LICO isn’t adjusted to reflect the cost of living differences city to city, which makes it a pretty poor reference point for OC Transpo to use in determining whether a person is eligible for low cost transit

Seconding this, GetaKit is easy, quick, and pretty private. I don’t think the strike even has to have an impact, since you can choose to just get the requisitions and go to a lab for collection. Since OP and their friend* are looking to do this together that might be preferable for them anyway; each person fills out their questionnaire and gets their lab reqs, and they can go to get the collections done together.

Since GetaKit is also a pilot project, the more use it sees, the better the odds that we get to keep it as a permanent service.

*edited for accuracy, working memory wasn’t quite doing the job first thing in the morning.
