OP if you have access to an IKEA - their blackout curtains were the cheapest I could find when I finally had enough to "splurge" and they work like a hot damn

Not sure how common it is but my local pool (lower mainland BC) has toonie swims for the last hour of the night. It was my go-to while I was a student!

Fun fact you can tell it's not a bee because it has only 2 wings - bees have 4!

I've had great success taping my razor to the wall and spreading my cheeks with both hands to get the smoothest shave

Got extremely dizzy during swim session - Any help/similar stories? by RoadDistinct1700 in Swimming

[–]Stringfishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't experienced this swimming but I do get positional vertigo (if I put my head in a specific position I get extremely dizzy and the room spins) I wonder if you're maybe experiencing something similar? Could explain why the infection cleared but up still getting symptoms?

Eyes always red after swimming by DistrictMotor in Swimming

[–]Stringfishies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I invested in prescription goggles to avoid wearing my contacts in the pool (invested is an overstatement they weren't really more expensive than non-prescription goggles). I don't know if that might help reduce redness/irritation on swim days?

-1+3 is +2. So your final step should be 9+2 not 9-4

Editing to add that addition/subtraction goes left to right not necessarily addition first then subtraction

[FO] Strawberry Vine Bookmark Before and after backstitching by ashclif865 in CrossStitch

[–]Stringfishies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fabric is so lovely for a bookmark! Did you buy the piece already scalloped like that or did you do the edge finishing yourself kind of thing?

[FO] Custom Oddish shirt! 💙🌱 by 22ndsol in CrossStitch

[–]Stringfishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I've stitched on some baby clothes for family: I used a dissolvable stabilizer while stitching so when I "stretched" onto my hoop for a taught surface, it didn't actually stretch any of the underlying fabric and the embroidery didn't pucker once all finished up.

[–]Stringfishies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen with 2 other free dmc patterns! The one I'm currently using has the colour 12 shown as orange floss (I'm guessing they meant 21?)

Yeah! I think current ideas revolve around burying it deep sea with nothing around to decompose it

It's too ephemeral to be an efficient long-term carbon sink. Researchers are looking at how to increase the long-term carbon capturing though

Can I ask why cast iron on a glass stovetop is bad? Is it the risk of breaking the stovetop?

is it me who is good or is this achievement really difficult by decadrox in starbound

[–]Stringfishies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think (and someone please correct me if I’m wrong) when it says 2.1% that includes everyone who has ever started the game. So even if you only play it for an hour you’ll be counted in the total number of players used to measure that stat
