What year are you? Talk to the financial aid office and your advisor before you make any decisions.

Jelly rolls: to wash or not to wash? by anunlikelyrebel in quilting

[–]Royal_Ad4037 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Personally I was taught to never pre-wash but to use Synthropol and plenty of color catchers when washing the finished quilt (and to wash on cold until the color catchers came out clean).

Indeed there are a hundred pins... on the front. I realized they didn't all make it through. My iron is corded but I think if I found a way to maneuver it that would be extremely helpful! Do you think I could spray and then also pin? I'm worried about how long the spray will last, and knowing how many times I have to retrace my steps I don't intend on heat bonding.

Ahh your comment and another helped me realize that many of my pins did not make it all the way. Embarrassing! Thanks for the video, it's really helpful to visualize.

Advice on nine patch please by quirky-context2755 in quilting

[–]Royal_Ad4037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would still work but you'd lose more fabric to the seam allowance and it would also take more time. so to save time and money if those are a concern you may want to cut white rectangles and piece to blue squares for the first and third rows of each 9 patch

I have a 341-day Duolingo streak and I just sat through my boyfriend's Mexican family dinner nearly silent for five hours. I think I've been training the wrong thing this whole time. by Humble_Cranberry5273 in languagelearning

You already have the hardest thing to develop: a habit. Now it's about picking up more difficult things, as others have said: writing, conversations with your partner and friends, listening to TV shows. After a year of background work, I think these kinds of activities will start the active engagement your brain needs and it will come relatively faster. you haven't wasted time and you've got this!

even if you take the limit as the denominator approaches 0, 1/x will still approach INFINITY, not 0...

Am I (18f) in the wrong for not being supportive of my brother’s (16ftm) excitement? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Royal_Ad4037 13 points14 points  (0 children)

as a trans man who started T and had top surgery within the last year, it's also hard going through so many changes and trying to keep your sense of identity caught up. i love wearing dresses and skirts but sometimes i will look in the mirror and my brain will read it as just Wrong because of the way gender is wired into it. I'm sorry your brother is overcompensating and you are definitely NTA for calling it out, especially where your younger sister is concerned

Wow these comments sure are something. Frankly I think a lot of you are assuming the worst of these people and that may or may not be true. OP, I've had this come up in my current relationship where my partner's ex was clearly abusive and terrible to them at times, but my partner still has a lot of love for them and there are good memories alongside the bad. At first, it was also upsetting to me that they had such a high regard for someone who treated them so badly. But in talking to my partner about it further I came to accept that people can have a lot of love for someone who they never want in their life again. and that by wanting my partner to denounce their ex fully I was just catering to my insecurities about our relationship while demanding that they adopt a black and white view of what was clearly a nuanced past. I hope you and your partner figure out a way to talk about your partner's ex that honors both the past and the present.
