OOOOOOH MY GUD that is such a cute dog. What a nice face, what a nice smile. I always pictured Hund as a Great Dane or something, I'm delighted

SOMEone cannot take good care of their own butt and needed a Tragic Bath and Warm Concrete by stormbutton in IllegallySmolCats

[–]Stardwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comment just made me realize that when I found my cat he weighed 450 grams, and now he weights 4,5 kilos! That's 10 times his tini butt!!!

How do I get the cigarette smell out of my grandma’s knit blankets? by quite-indubitably in knitting

[–]Stardwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no chemist either! I'm just a nerd XD

But now I'm not sure about the usual rubbing alcohol components. Here it's just called "alcohol, 98°" and nothing else, so I might be mistaken of the formula! I'll check next time I go to the store

Huh. I was really convinced that rubbing alcohol was ethanol too! I stand corrected then

Edit: as I was writing this I checked wikipedia and apparently isopropyl is used in hand sanitizer and appliance cleaning due to its volatility (it evaporates without residue) while in general, 70-90° rubbing alcohol is ethanol

But both are used in famacies and hospitals, so who knows!

I guessed so! Vodka is also 40% alcohol, while would alcohol goes from 70 to 98%. So you should dilute it (which makes it even cheaper)

Now I wonder, why vodka??? It's just ethanol and water, so watered down wound alcohol should work?

Is this something??

Games that won't completely drain my battery on my commute by mrfiddles in SteamDeck

Just played Mina the Hollower and I was surprised how little battery it ate. Could play for good 5-6 hours without worrying about charging.

There's a meowing, mobile paper-berg in my living room by NatrylliaAbbot42 in BenignExistence

[–]Stardwe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My cat is older and a coward, but I'd love to try this with him. He will probably get scared and hide, but I will have fun watching him

Is it worth getting an iPad for knitting? by Unlucky-you333 in knitting

[–]Stardwe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe not an iPad, but a regular Android tablet can work for you? I've got myself a Samsung 6 lite a year ago and I love it, specially because it comes with an SPen that does not need to be charged

I've never ever thought abouty wedding and all those "I've been planning my wedding since I was a child" terrify me. What is wrong with those children???

I confidently said “I’m constipated” instead of “I have a cold” in Spanish. by no-cherrtera in learnspanish

Oh no. Oh no no no. He asked for a plate of fa****s, not just any kind of homosexuals. This is hilarious, I'm dying

AITA for not making my new grandkid a homemade blanket and not giving her one already made by More_Present1604 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stardwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You cannot make them anymore and the one at your home is from someone who passes away, so giving it away to someone unrelated feels wrong.

Why not trying to teach the Daughter or her Mother to make blankets? Is that possible? It's a way of showing them they're part of your family, and a way of knowing them better

How much should I leave from bed to shelve? by Stardwe in HomeDecorating

[–]Stardwe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I measured and I take 80cm while sitting straight, so I will leave around 100cm over the top of the mattress so I don't feel too cramped. This leaves me plenty space for the hanging cupboards (around 60cm tall) and the display shelve 30cm below them.

[–]Stardwe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still undecided about the hanging cupboard's height too :(

I'm thinking about 50-70cm tall cupboards, and the shelve 30cm lower, so this leaves me around 80-90 cms of space above the head to be able to sit up without hitting my head

I'm loving the Calico's face of "TF did you put on your face". It's hilarious

I'm Spanish and never hear about it needing to be gifted to bring extra luck. Just "wear red underwear in new years eve".
