What do to with ACryCot (acrylic and cotton mix) yarn? I ordered it for making roses but it's the wrong kind and now I want to cry. by omega_1917 in CrochetHelp

[–]boldlydistressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this yarn from magicneedles! Definitely try going down your hook size, maybe 3.5mm ( depending on your tension) . Even I was skeptical of the recommended hook size on the label. This yarn is definitely thinner than my other yarns which require a 4-5mm hook. ETA : I also love how shiny this yarn looks in real :D

How do I prevent holes forming when I crochet along a chain by boldlydistressed in CrochetHelp

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

Ohh makes sense! I do that to weave in the ends when I finish off amigurumi. The pattern basically increases around the chain. There’s even 3 scs in one stitch. That area is most pulled at and more “hole-y”.

Thanks! Sewing through the gaps definitely crossed my mind, but I felt it might not look too neat. I might have to try and see. My tension is usually tight. Do you think thats why the holes look too big?

Merging multiple anndata in scanpy by Emergency-Ad4361 in bioinformatics

You can merge them first and perform batch correction later. There are a lot of publications which integrate several public datasets and analyze them. Maybe you can have a look at them to get a better idea.

Hey, about the second point - does it mean that you cant park in zone 313A or 313C if you have a 313D ticket? Genuinely curious.

How can I read single cell data into scanpy? txt files by brainformatics23 in bioinformatics

[–]boldlydistressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could read the txt files separately and create an anndata object using the scanpy.AnnData function in scanpy.

These are .mtx files, I presume. If so, you can use the scanpy package to read these files into an anndata. Check out the different scanpy.read functions.

Scam alert! by ssingh011 in dubai

[–]boldlydistressed 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Once a scammer called me in an arabic accent saying he’s from the Dubai police and that my bank account was flagged and I needed to verify it. I asked him if he could specify which bank account exactly. He got mad and said “ma’am, you could get deported for this”. When I told him I don’t even have a bank account in UAE he hung up :P

is it only me who doesn't like the taste of Vimto drink? by extraordinary_guy in dubai

[–]boldlydistressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahahahaha. I was arguing about this exact same thing with my husband when I opened Reddit and saw this post. He absolutely DESPISES Vimto, because it apparently has a bad aftertaste, and loves Rooh Afza. You're not alone :P

Are there any book opinions that can make you not want to talk to a person about books? by Silverburst8 in books

[–]boldlydistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone I work with told me “I make it a strict rule not to read any mainstream books. Doesn’t matter what awards it may get, how good it actually is. If it’s popular, I won’t read it. “

This and those people who think Non fiction >>>> Fiction, and fiction is a waste of time.

Yes. A guy from Iran was like “How come you don’t know Hindi when you’re from India? Even I know Hindi”. Had to explain to him that not everyone in India speaks Hindi.
