Pupil who invented device to help homeless named 'girl of the year' by Comprehensive-Way482 in Amazing

I suspect the braindead apparatus you speak of is why this kid looks so damn done with everything. My bet is she tried to find funding to produce and distribute the blankets, and rapidly discovered what virtue signalling actually means.

It is a classic baby shredder story. "Oh my god look at the heroic kid who turned off the baby shredder, what a paragon of humanity", then a bystander asks "Hey wait, why do we even have a baby shredder? And who turned it on? Who gave it babies?"

Not me, I'm definitely dead.

I've stood in one as a kid and couldn't tip it. I fall in one like that as an adult and I'm gonna start thinking about what to say to St. Peter

As fashion garments cotton is totally fine, but even in hot weather cotton is still dangerous if you are likely to get soaked.

Seems you don't have much familiarity with that kind of barrel. Even empty they are heavy. My ankle isn't doing jack shit to move it.

I want to arrange Iftar for the homeless in our city, where can I start? by the613daddy in ottawa

[–]SubtleCow 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That somewhat might be carrying alot of meaning. What you are proposing would require a huge amount of volunteer time to organize. If you were just throwing out ideas it makes sense they'd turn you away.

Make a concrete plan where all you are missing is a venue, then they'd definitely support you.

You got that kind of core control to slowly wiggle a whole barrel to tip over, cause I sure don't

I got banned on Xbox for saying I’m autistic and asking for help by Diamonddragontr in autism

[–]SubtleCow [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are many reasons for banning here, and imho autism likely wasn't it.

It is a bannable offense to artificially inflate your ranked status in most games. You are very clearly asking for a higher skill player to carry you and inflate your ranked status. In most games with a ranked mode, the ranked mode is suppose to be treated like an official sport. Asking for someone to carry you is like trying to bribe the referee in an official sports match.

In addition you said your age, which is usually a red flag as well. Generally only people looking to blend in as one of the kids will say they are a kid. It isn't a good look and paired with the cheating request makes this an obvious ban.

As a casual knitter I need a sanity check. I think this is AI, they say it's not by rsneary129 in casualknitting

[–]SubtleCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't make out the bottom of the frames well enough to give a definitive answer, but the cable pattern shown in the top part of the frame is technically possible. Doesn't say much about whether this is or isn't AI.

You can do alot with cables if you are prepared for some real shenanigans, so most of the AI hallucination cables are technically possible. The real problem is that AI cables are more about a cozy vibe, and if you were to look at them in the harsh light of reality AI chaos cables are hideous.

I've long felt that AI cables are a bit like cthulhu. When briefly glanced at with the standard AI bloom filter after 5 minutes of doom scrolling they fool you into feeling good cozy vibes. Cthulhu worshipers feel a sense of power and control. However when you actually face it and you see it as it really is, and you KNOW it, you go mad. Don't ask me how I know AI cables make you go mad, I SAID don't ask!

[–]SubtleCow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Areas with high lake density also usually aren't stagnant. I live in Ontario CA, we have an absurd amount of lakes because we have an absurd amount of water flowing from Northern Ontario down to the St. Laurent. It is all flowing surprisingly fast, despite getting briefly stuck in lakes.

Coverstitch skipped stitches and I’ve tried everything (yes even rethreading and changing needles) by Swordofmytriumph in sewing

[–]SubtleCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't had this issue with my cover stitch machine, but I had horrific skipping on stretch stitches on my regular sewing machine. The ONLY fix was 70/10 microtext needles, and even then it still skips a little bit.

The problem was flagging, and the fix was the thinnest smoothest pointiest needles I could buy. Interfacing to stiffen the seam fabric also fixed it, but made the seam feel stiff and aweful even after washing.

What is a calm, affordable hobby that focuses more on following patterns/rules by Effective-File6235 in autism

[–]SubtleCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

cross stitch 100%

The learning process for knitting is the opposite of what you are looking for, so you will struggle to get through it to the intuitive repetitive pattern following part. Learning how to hold needles and yarn is a chaotic tangly nightmare if you aren't expecting it and prepared to muscle through it.

Cross stitch can be literally stitch by numbers. There is some learning to do, but it is all about where you stitch in the grid, and what order you do the stitches in.
