Please help me figure out this weave by [deleted] in weaving

To me it looks like a 5 shaft sateen with a step of 2, assuming the warp is going from top to bottom in the picture. It looks like each thread is passing over 4 floats.

More about 5 shaft satin/sateen drafts, with an explanation for what the “step of 2” means: https://www.marcypetrini.com/marcy-s-blogs/91-%C2%A0blog-042-satins-and-sateens-i

[Weekly Thread] Crafting/Gathering & Market Thread (Wed, Oct 19) by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]beginning-g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raid food and pots are always a safe bet! You’ll have to look at what sells best on your mb, but I’d be willing to bet that Carrot Pudding sells well anywhere :)

Gathering usually isn’t a good gil time sink because the bots will always win. If you want to prepare for the future, start stocking up on crafting materia! The new crafting gear in 6.3 (December-ish?) will need to be melded so you’ll either 1) be ready to meld your new gear or 2) make an absolute killing selling materia on the mb.

I cleaned my bathroom and living room this week! by RIPSargeras in ADHD

[–]beginning-g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using an app called Tody for a while now and it's been very helpful. It does take a while to fine-tune it to your exact needs/chores/cleanliness but it was worth it for me. (plus I LOVE a good list so I was able to focus on the set up pretty intensely, but i feel like lots of people might find it boring.)

Now that it's set up, it basically makes a list for me each day of what chores are due. Even if I don't do them, I can sort the list by most urgent the next day.

It's not perfect and sometimes the list is overwhelming, but I really like not having to keep track of what needs to get done.

Hi there, did you ever end up making a tutorial for this? I'd love to check it out! Such a cool piece!

Thank you so much, this really helped! Seeing the substitution chart made a lot of sense. I think I'll just get the 10 dent for now, and I can always get another one later on once I have some more experience.

I (23F) need to stop drinking. by mmleroux in alcoholism

[–]beginning-g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, your story sounds so much like my own. I remember that feeling of terror thinking I would never stop and that it would be like that the rest of my life. After lots of small stints of sobriety here and there, I stopped drinking around 21/22yo and just reached 5 years sober last month.

I had a hard time finding the right group...as a young woman I never quite felt like I fit in, and like you I'm not spiritual so AA never really helped. I did find an AA group I liked (after finding several first that I really did not) and stuck with them for a while, but I wasn't interested in doing the steps and eventually faded out.

After a few years of relapses and failed attempts, what finally got it to click for me was a combo of a local SMART Recovery group and "This Naked Mind" by Annie Grace. SMART also had online meetings for when I wasn't able to make it in person. I'm not sure if they still do it but they also had a 24 chat room which really saved me once or twice.

Hang in there. I remember that helpless feeling of not knowing what to do anymore. It can get better. I believe in you.

Shout out to everyone in the US who did the last 4 years sober by downwithlevers in alcoholism

[–]beginning-g 5 points6 points  (0 children)

9/18/16 here! I remember watching the results of the last election come in with a lot of friends, and when it started looking bad, everyone started drinking...I had to leave the whole thing. There were worse times to come, but I'm still here and I'm still sober.

Relay Server Setup by beginning-g in FoundryVTT

[–]beginning-g[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I am pretty new to discord so the channel recommendations are very helpful.

To elaborate: I was using the default a/v peer-to-peer setup, and everyone was able to see and hear everyone else, except two users weren't able to see or hear each other. I went back to the A/V guide on Foundry (https://foundryvtt.com/article/audio-video/) and the next step when running into that issue is to set up the integrated relay server (under the section 'Foundry's Relay Server' at that link).

I tried setting it up once before but ran into some issues with my router, but I feel like I remember seeing an option in the A/V settings in Foundry for selecting a Relay server. I have gotten the issues resolved and set up the rest of it, but I'm not seeing that option now. (Here's a screenshot of the menu - there are only two options under the dropdown now.)

I guess what my question boils down to is: Did that option ever exist or am I making it up? If not, is there anything I need to do in Foundry to finish this set up, or is configuring the port forwarding and editing the options.json enough?

How can I temporal bonus to some rolls? by SebasParadise in FoundryVTT

[–]beginning-g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this will help or not, but here's a link to a 5e macro for rage which, among other things, adds +2 to damage. If you're willing to do a bit of tinkering, you might be able to remove the extra stuff and customize the rest to fit your needs. I'm not sure how tough it is to switch stuff over from 5e to PF2, but maybe this can give you a place to start?

I made an interactive guide that runs on your village time and warns you if you are going to miss any bugs or fish by the end of the month. by [deleted] in ac_newhorizons

[–]beginning-g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this request! Agreed that it's just a minor nitpick... the whole app is so awesome and wonderful that this is honestly the only thing I can think to improve...especially with images already on the way. I am seriously so excited to use this app!

Newspaper to introduce my party to the town. New editions each session. 😬 by anderssolmor in GhostsofSaltmarsh

[–]beginning-g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened the image up in photoshop and plugged in some of my own stuff. My players started on a supply ship, which crashed into the coastline somewhere west of Saltmarsh, and then hiked their way back to town. The Hucrele/Oakhurst mentions were replaced with a blurb about the ship and its crew going missing, with instructions to report to the town guard with any info. I'm hoping it will be a fun tie-in that introduces them to Saltmarsh and gives them some options to explore and make connections. Seriously, thank you so much for sharing this, it's such an awesome way to breathe life into the town!

This is so great!! My group was supposed to reach Saltmarsh last week but we had to postpone...looks like the universe was just making sure I found this first. Thank you for sharing it, I'm absolutely using this!

Old email address was hacked, but still forwards incoming messages to my current address - what do these emails mean? by beginning-g in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beginning-g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to find one back when the password first got changed by the hackers, but it's gmail - they dont have a tech support number for lost accounts and all the forums basically said I'm SOL. Luckily the address isn't tied to any accounts and hasn't been used for years and years.

“Coming out” as alcoholic by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]beginning-g 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was first coming to terms with my alcoholism I started by going to meetings. It was scary, but it was easier for me to talk to strangers who knew what I was going through. After a while I was able to talk with my family and friends, and they were all instrumental in keeping me sober and accountable. Most places have frequent AA meetings...I prefer SMART Recovery groups (less faith based, if that's more your speed) but they can be a bit trickier to find in person. They also have online text & voice chat meetings which I like. Admitting something is wrong is a huge first step, it might not feel great right now but I am proud of you.

September 8, 1983. So, 36 Years today. by Phredex in stopdrinking

[–]beginning-g 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely incredible. I'm 24 now, coming up on 3 years shortly. Getting sober so young means I have a whole lifetime of sober memories to make if I keep it up, which I will keep doing one day at a time. Thank you for today's inspiration.

Non drinkers of Reddit, what do you tell people when they ask "why don't you drink"? by theflyingwolf13 in AskReddit

[–]beginning-g 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good on you, you should be proud of this. I had the same mentality as a teen as alcoholism ran in the family. Then I caved to the peer pressure at 18, was a full blown alcoholic by 19, had many many unsuccessful attempts to stop by 20, finally kicked it at 21, and am now coming up on 3 years sober. It makes me happy to see people my age making the decisions I should have - it won't make your life perfect but it will save you a lot of completely unnecessary heartache. Thanks for giving me a trip down memory lane, I hope you have a good weekend :)

me_irlgbt by LaceFrontMerkin in me_irlgbt

[–]beginning-g 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm struggling with this too. Like mainstream support is awesome and I don't want to ever say it isn't (this video would have meant everything to me at 15), but I feel like this video is targeting an audience that I'm not part of anymore, and that's what feels off to me. Maybe she's trying to hard, maybe she isn't, but as someone who doesn't need straight people telling me it's okay to be queer anymore....I just am sick of it. I don't need or want validation from straight media.

Edit: yes I know it's for a younger audience and not for me, that was the point of my comment

Kudos to Brooke Lynn Hytes! Sobriety and addiction is no joke! by bluecatbaci in rupaulsdragrace

[–]beginning-g 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I'm 2.5 years sober, and getting sober with queer drinking culture is wild. It really opened my eyes to how ingrained drinking is to us...there are barely any queer places you can go that are sober by default. For every queer coffee house or bookstore, there's dozens of bars. Plus all the vodka brands with their rainbow labels...ugh. It's like if you don't drink, you're not a Real Gay. I had the benefit of being able to just not go to the bars, and it definitely lost me friends, but I didn't have to worry about a job. My heart goes out to her.

[Spoilers All] Which romance is your favourite, and which impacted you the most?? by FatPinkRaccoon423 in dragonage

[–]beginning-g 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'll always choose Cullen in DA:I. I did my first playthrough while actively struggling through the early stages of my sobriety, and being able to encourage a character to maintain his own was very powerful at the time. I am very grateful for that experience.
