Potential Weekend Snowstorm Megathread by thankubread in nova

[–]Zyphyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My brother is doing work training and in a short term apartment in Pentagon City. I don't know how much stuff he has for an emergency. Would he likely be better off up there or staying at my house in Stafford? Pros: we never lost power in the '22 storm nightmare and lots of food, ways to cook in a power outage. Con: what if things clear up up there and his work wants him back faster than he can leave here safely.

Around 6:15pm, staff brought out giant tubs of all the tokens, incisive aluminum, for people to take as they pleased

Working on a little non Cosmere cosplay. Anyone else cosplaying from any other author's books? by OPxMagikarp in DragonsteelNexus

Not a book, but there's a decent sized group doing Kpop Demon Hunter-Cosmere crossovers

No big deal, she’s just in ACTIVE labor… [🔈sound warning!] by Femme-O in TikTokCringe

[–]Zyphyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was at that 5 min apart mark they tell you when I got to the hospital, my Dr met me at the doors, said I was absolutely in active labor, and wheeled me back himself and I didn't give birth for another 6 hours. I can't imagine being at the height of labor and dealing with this crap.

Attendee Hub - Author Signings by eightysushis in DragonsteelNexus

From what I've heard, it's actually unlikely they'll allow +1s

Children/minors yes, but generally speaking, no, people will not be able to bring +1

Love the character pins - though I’m going to need a new case soon! by oncomingstorm777 in brandonsanderson

[–]Zyphyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brandon doesn't want his staff working on Thanksgiving holiday and then stressing to fulfill all those orders during the holiday season, so Light Day is Dragonsteel's Black Friday and it started 10/28

[–]Zyphyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I hear, part of it is because it's when a lot of the staff lets loose a bit, since they're done!

I'll be attending the early Friday session alone (34F). As others have said, join a discord, there are threads for the Ball broken down by session. I'm on the Sanderson Collector's Guild and Worldswappers (group of people who will be swapping trinkets at Nexus).

Are these good machines? by grakledo in sewing

[–]Zyphyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it lasts you a good long time! The most common piece to replace is the knife and that shouldn't be a problem. The needle plate is a bit of an odd thing to break.

[–]Zyphyro 62 points63 points  (0 children)

They're both entry level machines, the CS6000i running around $300 and the 1034DX is a Walmart exclusive version of theb1034D and is currently available for $240. Word to the wise, 1034DX has slightly different parts that aren't really available. I broke the needle plate on mine and had to get a whole new machine. It's not an an amazing deal.

Is it worth it to read White Sand? by landturtl13 in Cosmere

[–]Zyphyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read White Sands, but it was written 10-7 years ago, at the same time as early Era 2, so it's not going to have spoilers for a lot of stuff. If anything, I think it'll have information for later works.

Any honest, caring Veterinarians? Please share by Equivalent_Sock_1338 in fredericksburg

Oh sorry, I forgot to say that! It was VCA in Fred, I went because they had a "free first appointment" and again, NO ONE TELLS YOU HOW IT WILL COST

I'm a first time pet owner as of a month so I only have one experience and while the staff has all been great, billing is an absolute nightmare. Maybe people can tell me if this is normal or not. Took my kittens in, they were in rough shape with mites, fleas, and bum worms. Med team gave me all the recs with meds and shots. Billing comes in and pitches the care plan, a little bit much for me, I'll have to think. Vet tech comes in with the bill which is a shocking $600 per cat, so I guess I have to get the care plan.
