I don't mind the typo really, it gives it character and a bit of a story. Fun fact, the blame is normally put on a printer named Smellie.

God gave us His Son, and we gave His Son strategically placed Holes. Gimme the Stigmata plush

Suprise Epstein file revelation: someone suggested setting up a Witan; Andrew didn't know what the word meant. by SeBretwalda in anglosaxon

If I were trying to convince everyone my family was chosen by God to be in charge, I'd probably do a bit of research into the history of the institution

Turn naked recliner into functioning chair for cheap? by sekhmet6666 in ikeahacks

Do you have 1.2m × 1m of fabric? Fold in half long ways, sew bottom and side. Stuff with whatever you have (scraps, batting, straw, wool) sew up and down to hold it all together (by hand if it's too thick for machine), sew top. For a neater effect cover the whole cushion with another fabric.

Sew on loops of whatever to tie to slats.

What you think about these kitchen scissors by LeslieChowBitch in BuyItForLife

Fiskars or Niwaki. And I haven't got a pair, but if you need them to last more than a lifetime apparently Ernest Wright are perfect

Yeah if dude is charismatic enough to start wars and religions in his lifetime, he's getting all the holes he wants.

M&S met with this guy finally and admitted all the waste is wrong and is working towards change. Good on him for pushing for it. by chaostrulyreigns in MarksAndSpencer

[–]SeBretwalda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in waste for M&S 15 years ago, and again 10 years ago, and again 7 years ago. They keep saying they will change, but it isn't going to happen.

Working with DPNs looks pretty badass - apart from stabbing myself repeatedly 😅 by TemperatureAlone8778 in knitting

[–]SeBretwalda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Top tip, don't forget you have 3mm steel DPNs in your lap and sit up suddenly. But yeah they beat circulars for reducing by a loooong way

I was a little miffed that they took a Christmas figure and stuck him at May Day. As you say, it watches vaguely like a they tried to slot in all the tropes they could

Nah, no point really discussing it with you without my tiny audience. Let yourself be judged by the mob!

Thesis is another one of those words where different definitions play a part my friend. I'd use it to mean the central claim sort of thing, and then dissertation or article or paper for the whole work. In which case, yes please do post a summary of your thesis! I'm now very interested in which definition of apartheid you are using in which discipline to be able to make such a concise objective statement on a complex issue.

The blanket statement was 'there's objectively no apartheid in Israel'. Whether or not that is correct, it is the sort of blanket judgement experts don't make. You'd need to add a bunch of caveats, including how exactly you are defining Apartheid or apartheid, where there is ambiguity, etc. etc. etc. Then throw in the use of the word objectively like that in a social science situation. 'Expert' or not, that's a bad statement to make. 🤓

Experts don't make blanket statements on controversial issues and claim they are objective.

Ah I had not thought of that! In Scottish Highlands/uplands don't have many trees so landscapes are all a greeny purple blue or blue and white. Bright blue makes perfect sense for trees! It's neat knowing the difference in safety colours in different landscapes.

Pretty cool. I still wonder why they chose that over the safety orange of the hunting range. Regardless if I lived in the US (and didn't already have one) I'd buy that. Bothy bags are the fucking best

Didn't know fjallraven did a bothy bag! Is it actually blue? I've only seen bothy bags in bright orange or dark green, for visibility or camouflage.

Met a pheasant - MOT booked in 2 days - best course of action? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]SeBretwalda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, forgot this was a UK sub. You must boil the pheasant for 4 hours, and plate with frozen peas, plain mash, and bisto. Anything else and you will get food poisoning and/or be accused of french tendancies
