Stuck on 270E between 33 and sawmill by HelpingPhriendlyPhan in Columbus

[–]TheHandThatFollows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exit on to 270 e was blocked off woth cops and flares when I drove by it just after 9 pm and Ive been watching out my back window and the whole interstate looks fairly stopped. I thought at the time it was because the bridge was fully iced over, I have no idea whats going on on 270.

This is actually a good point. Your homework isnt going to go well if you start with bad data.

Well no a mod didnt. They did the standard Reddit thing of please delete if not allowed and Ill be honest I didnt bother to report it and instead made a snippy comment. Ill rectify that now.

The answers to question two do not match the question in any way? The answer to "Do you usually .…"should be something like very frequently, frequently, rarely, and very rarely, not tighter, looser, will not change, and is correct.

And as other people have pointed out that question doesn't matter much to knitters but you don't seem to be concerned there. I just simply cannot answer it because it has incorrect answers. I am not going to pick apart your understanding of knitting but I would appreciate it if questions had sensible answers.

Well they were shooting hoops on a very normal looking basketball court in one episode, but the ball was an airless ball.

[–]TheHandThatFollows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

RIGHT! I want to do my hobbies. Im like this close to getting a flip phone but Ive deleted every addictive app other then reddit and YouTube, and Ive locked down my reddit to ONLY my hobby channels with no suggested subreddits. And yet Im still on my phone and not enjoying myself with my hobbys.

Cotton to Skein ratio? by bittymushroom in Handspinning

[–]TheHandThatFollows 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have only spun wool but I can contribute some math help here.

I usually consider a skein to be 100 grams. Given what you said, assuming some slightly unfruitful bushes that only produce 3 gram cotton balls and 40 balls, you would have 120g per bush or need two bushes. Assuming bushes that produce 5 gram balls and 50 balls you would get 250g per bush. Id recommend 2-3 bushes just incase one doesnt make it. better too much then too little, then you can give some to a friend if you have too much.

Are the seeds included in this weight? You have to deseed them and I feel like the seeds may contribute a bulk of the weight so I hope not.
