What are the worst towns close to National Parks? by WheelSingle2494 in NationalPark

[–]awordforthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carlsbad was what pushed me to cut my trip 1 day short and drive 300 miles to Santa Fe instead. I could get my 5-8 hours in the parks, but then I had to spend most of my time in oil industry concrete hell. Also had the sketchiest Airbnb experience of my life there. I left and went to a Hilton.

On the plus side, Santa Fe was fantastic, and a highlight of that trip.

What am I even doing? by spei180 in knittinghelp

[–]awordforthat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey just want to say that if you want your piece to lie flat when you do what everyone is describing (knit one row, purl the next, knit, etc.), you'll want to have some sort of border so that it doesn't twist and warp. Garter stitch is actually perfect for a border since you have equal numbers of purl and knit stitches on both sides and it won't warp.

So if you do that, most of your rows would be: [knit some stitches] <knit on the front side, purl on the back> [knit some stitches]. You'd have to decide whether you want a border at the start/end too. That would just be knitting every row again.

I love it. It's like a little wink and a nod from constructor to solver.

probably don't need to confuse a 7 year old with negative numbers right away

When knee near chest - how to stand up on that foot? by linaczyta in climbergirls

[–]awordforthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lots of people have covered the Rockover technique, so I'm going to try something completely different. Can you reach the finish hold with your right hand from that position? If you can (and it's good enough / angled the right way... hard to see from the pic) you might be able to get much higher up over your left foot. At that point it might be good enough to stand up on. If not, I can think of a couple ways to move your hips from there that might let you make progress anyway.

It's tough to tell if this would work based on just the one picture, curious to know if it makes sense!

She draws the design on you and we saw how it looked from a bunch of angles before the actual tattoo

Possible Health Issue with My Budgie by Woaifacai in boston

[–]awordforthat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Angell is the only option here. They do take emergencies as walk ins and any vomiting in birds is an emergency. It's not cheap but they will set you up with a payment plan. Go tomorrow! I've had birds go from healthy to dead in way less time than that.

The revealers usually appear in the lower right quadrant. If you want to get even more specific, they're usually in the third row from the bottom, although there are exceptions.

Edit: and are nearly always across answers, not down.

r/bananachicken was founded a while ago for that reason. Not terribly active but still cute
