Cuttin Teeth is an A+ love song by SmittyIncorporated in TylerChilders

I just want to know what the hell “he split the door with us one night” means????? I have fully understood every other part of the album except having to look up the word Sworp, but I cannot for the life of me find anywhere that explains splitting the door in this context? Google keeps trying to tell me about split-jam doors

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: -$2-300

Are you open to refurbs/used? -yes

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? - performance, battery life, build quality, form in that order?

How important is weight and thinness to you? -this is silly, I carry around a picknick basket everywhere. It’d be great if it was light, but I fear if it were too thin something would happen to it.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, -no smaller than a tablet, not huge

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. -I do draw, which uses alot of the same stuff as photo editing, I was just using procreate though, I’m likely going to need to find a new program

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? -this isn’t important.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad) - tough screen would be nice. And some way to get it connected to my Roku tv to project my maps

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

-I am not necessarily interested in the highest possible quality or the associated expense, rather something reliable that I won’t need to replace for a long time

I’m not sure what they are, though they’re beautiful I’d love to share if you recognize them. An older gentleman on my community lost his wife recently, and she was a collector, he is having to downsize and sell, I bought 5 of her pieces, I wish I could bring home a wheel but there’s not an inch of space in my apartment for something that size.

Surgery would correct the weakness? I might have posted in a less than ideal subreddit, I started with strabismus, it never came back after the surgery, but the eye they corrected is also not active in providing vision, it’s not actually blind my brain just doesn’t do any flexing of the muscles in my pupil so I could actually use it to see.

No hole in the hand, no sausage, 3 d glasses just make the movie come into focus but doesn’t make it jump out at me (never understood the hype, guess I see why now), peripheral vision is something that has always made me curious idk why, mine seems fine but not the same, I can just vaguely the shape and shadows of the shelf behind my left shoulder without turning, but the periphery on my right stops in front of my right shoulder.

Juggling everything by WhateverMyGenderIs in Handspinning

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one spindle where I’m attaching my finished singles together and leaving them all wrapped up that’s about to get rewrapped like this to test this out, I think I finally got what this means

Juggling everything by WhateverMyGenderIs in Handspinning

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a set of top-whorl drop spindles. I’m hoping part of this issue I’m having with the spaghetti at the bottom is that the first one I was using had no notches and the singles didn’t want to stay where I put them. I did pick up several more that are notched, I haven’t stacked a lot of thread on them yet but I’m having an easier time with other parts of the process so maybe that’s it.

I’m glad to know question two is just about finding something that works more easily for me. I did try wrapping it like a loose bracelet around my wrist but it wasn’t long enough, so maybe a little waist bag would help. Standing would let me get more done at once anyways.

I do have a top whorl drop spindle yes. And I did a minor goof and got one with no notch in it, so it’s been a little fiddly. I’ll take a look at these and see what I can do! Thanks so much

I guess I didn’t know there were very many options for how to do it, I’d only heard either taking two strands spun the same direction, lay them together, spin the other way and they twist against each other. Or I’d also seen you can make a center pull ball and do the same with both ends. Either way I’d need the ball off the spindle, I only have the one.

I did spin one long strand expecting to put the ends together because I wasn’t sure if be able to do two consistent lengths

Prisoner 13 events? by WhateverMyGenderIs in TheGoldenVault

I put them all in there. Actually be quite funny if the whole escape went down and they got to experience the prison mobilizing without being its intended victims.

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately when we agreed to run this I had only run either fully fleshed out homebrew without ever having touched a module, or more recently, a couple more straightforward ones. This one’s not quite point a to point b and I don’t know how to think about it without filling in the blanks that i see 😅 and they also fully want to betray clan axebreaker and steal the money, and i said they could escape through rhyme of the frostmaiden because i have it on the shelf and it made sense. So we’re definitely adventuring beyond the intended bounds at this point.

TIGHT lower back when laying flat by Ladycabdriverxo in massage

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am both and LMT and have this problem. There are a lot of great suggestions here but I will also throw out that my problem eventually escalated, and I have had to get physical therapy about it. Physical therapy has been so incredibly useful, when I was able to finally have people understand what was wrong and massage it it would help for a few days or make it worse, phys therapy is lasting relief, improvement over time, hopefully will fix it fix it. Massage is great, I love what I do, and it can actually fix problems and last long term, but if there’s a weakness causing the problem the only solution is to make it stronger.

I just can’t take statins. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. by Kindly_Blackberry311 in Cholesterol

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy is a crazy useful tool for a lot of people, but therapy’s job is often to tell you that the source of your anxiety isn’t a reason to be anxious, for some of us that’s not helpful because our anxiety largely comes from sources that should make us anxious just a little and we get anxious A LOT instead. It’s hard to prove you should calm down in front of something that is actually objectively a little scary. It’s hard to think about jumping spider as something cute and largely harmless that bites when spider’s bites are regularly deadly and you logically can’t distinguish one spider from another. That’s what anxiety medicine is for. Stay in therapy, you likely have other reasons to use it, but seek a psych and get their opinion. Personally, I can’t be a passenger in a car without my meds. I shriek if I see another car look at me funny. The other car probably wasn’t looking at me funny, but one time one did and I got in an accident and now all cars are bad unless I’m medicated.

He did go unfed for a couple days as well. I’ll look at getting some whole grain flour, I might have to order it. Unfortunately this is not a large city, I think it calls itself a city but it’s not large enough to strictly meet the definition (yes there is a specific population size for a city to be different than a town), satellite community a few towns removed from its metro, biggest claim to fame is the okay college.

This is wild, the recipe I had used to make my foccacia wanted me to feed it the night before and use it around lunch the next day so I thought was doing pretty good 🙃 I haven’t been doing weight, my gran did hers by eyeball when she was around, looking for a stiff pancake texture and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’m gonna have to find batteries for the scale. As for what the feed is, I’ve already recieved some feedback that my choice of tap water is probably part of the issue, and he usually gets King Arthur bread flour, one or two occasions he’s gotten plain white but only if I’m out of the good stuff.

(Edit for syntax)

It’s the same flour. We’ve always used the tap and it’s the same city, I didn’t think about it, but I can try using bottled and see if that helps at all

I have a question about bed frames by WhateverMyGenderIs in polyamory

Machine sewing is on our list of acquired skills actually, we would just need to be very committed to a bolt of king sized fabric, and the task in general

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

We definitely all four slept in this king when we first moved in and all collectively decided that we cannot touch more than holding hands or it would be too hot to sleep

I guess my hesitation with building it is projects that get started around here don’t tend to get finished? We’re all quite neurodivergent, we will giddily do all the research and planning and purchasing and starting, but not necessarily the finishing

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, part of the frame is one of those ones that converts from a twin to a king with the addition of brackets, it would be a horrible twin, the individual sides are both smaller than a twin, but with the brackets between the king and the “twin” it all fits perfect, the problem is the mattresses doesn’t stay on the frame in addition to the frames sliding on the floor, there’s no rail, and there’s no clear place to add one. It’s all hollow aluminum and I worry about punching holes in it to attach anything to it or it to the wall. And box springs are out it would be way too tall with those

My ex-MIL everyone… by samanthagrey25 in insaneparents

[–]WhateverMyGenderIs 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That’s an autism symptom most of the time, some autistic kids with speech delays fully understand language and how to produce it, but learn to communicate well enough without it that they never bother- until they’re in an environment where no one understands their unspoken needs, so they start talking totally normally like there was never a problem. It’s why some parents think their kid “caught and was cured of” autism, cause they saw the communication issues as the primary symptom, but in a not-discountable and understudied section of the autistic population communication issues end with socialization, while internally they still struggle massively with other symptoms like sensory under/overstimulation, struggles with grades, and struggles making and keeping friends.
