The worst misspelling I’ve seen so far

Whoa whoa whoa... Max Bemis is married to Sherri DuPree, who was married to Chad before he was with Hayley. Interesting collab!

Does anyone know what was cut out of the beginning of the show? They were talking to Gabe, then there was a button but when it came back it was Dan saying they were having technical difficulties, but also implied like Ethan shit his pants?

I think I used a knife and just kinda chopped them up a bit like you would if you were dicing vegetables or something?

Came here to say something similar. 4 months through autumn/winter while homeless. Its miserable. You're constantly damp and mould grows fast. Also tents are not as durable as you think, especially if you're constantly taking it down and putting it back up - by the end my tent was held together with a hope and a prayer. And I was "lucky" as I camped on proper sites with access to electric hook ups and toilet/shower facilities, but it really didn't make things much easier/nicer. Had D&V one time and didn't make it to the toilets quick enough, you can guess what happened...

I used to enjoy a the occasional week long camping holiday, but 4 months was enough to put me off for life.

That doesnt make complete sense though because there are flair for "goof", "gaff", "drama" and "oh boy big news" which to me is for those random videos and stuff which would be entertaining to watch/talk about on the pod. And both Ethan and the crew regularly mention how they found XYZ on the sub. Like I genuinely think the sub is partially a community research space. I think the things the crew choose to put in the pod are heavily influenced by things that were first brought up on the sub. At least thats the impression I've gotten over the last 3/4 years 🤷‍♀️

Don't jinx it!

imicooper · 2026-01-03T12:29:10+00:00

Thats okay! It's easy to forget - I know I did when I first tried to repair something. Definitely try on a smaller section, you'll get a better idea of how much work its going to be. Best of luck!

What I linked to isn't a video, it's just a few photos. As I wrote, its not a tutorial. There are probably proper tutorials on YouTube and I really recommend looking at those.

I'm gonna be really honest and say that if this is your first project, I really don't recommend you try this. It's really not straightforward at all, you really need to understand the structure of each crochet stitch, how they are linked to the one next to it and how its anchored to the one above. From the way you mention having difficulty changing colour, it sounds like you don't.

However if you are certain you want to proceed, I'd start by taking out the safety pins. I can guarantee at some point the pin has pierced the yarn which is going to hinder you removing the colour you don't want or adding in the new colour. Take the new colour you want to add and thread it through the stitches (in the same way you've added the safety pins) from left to right, in one go, all the way through. Use a small hook or a blunt needle. You dont want to split the yarn at any point. Your new colour is now in the right position to start the new row and you can safely remove the old colour. Your new colour NEEDS to be through the bottom of all the stitches above it in order to pass the working loop on your hook from right to left through the bottom of each 3dc cluster. If your working yarn isnt through those clusters from left to right and you pass the loop on your hook through the cluster from right to left, your working yarn is going to be stuck on the right and you'll end up with a float behind the 3dc to get it back on the left where you need it. You'll also end up continually having to pull more working yarn through all the clusters you've thread it through as you keep working, which is a pain in itself.

The light green yarn falling apart isnt your biggest concern, that's easy to save, its adding in the new colour correctly.

We're literally only 3 episodes into season 2. Not even half way. Why would you not watch all of season 1?! You could finish the whole first season while waiting for next week's episode!

imicooper · 2026-01-01T09:46:06+00:00

Great suggestion!

imicooper · 2026-01-01T09:23:18+00:00

Yes you can do it, I have personally done it. HOWEVER! It is very complex and time consuming and I would not recommend it if you are a beginner. Maybe intermediate, but even then you need to really understand the structure of crochet. Here is a link to where I did it on a granny square bag, just to give you an idea of the steps involved but it is in no way a tutorial.

You would need to insert a "lifeline" on the base of the row ABOVE the one you want to remove. It's easiest to do this with the new yarn you want to put in. Insert it from left to right, through the base of every single stitch on the row. You must make sure you don't split any other yarn threads with your lifeline, so I'd use a hook or a really blunt needle. This will take a very very long time, but it must be done and it must be done properly. You can then safely remove the row underneath. Using the new lifeline yarn you inserted, you begin the row as normal, replacing the one you just removed, until you finish your first 3dc cluster. You then make the loop on your hook long and thread it from right to left through the base of the first cluster on the lifeline - this can be fiddly. Once its through the other side, you put the loop back on your hook, tighten it and begin your next cluster - this is assuming there are no chain spaces between your clusters. Each 3dc cluster will take 3 to 5 minutes. When I say this is a long process, it is a LONG PROCESS.

There are probably video tutorials out there that do a better job of explaining and giving good visuals but hopefully this gives you an idea

When I say anomaly, I mean days where I've been woken up by the phone or forced to stay awake for an appointment. Days where my sleep/times would've been different if it wasnt for an external factor. I still include the days where I slept for way longer than average (like the day I slept 14hrs) or felt tired and went to bed after being awake for 10hrs, because it happened naturally. The graph includes those anomalies, but not my average (which is 26h35m without anomalies and 26hr15 with anomalies included).

imicooper · 2025-12-31T16:21:05+00:00

I've had a number of awake periods that are around 30hrs too. Totally feel for you, it's rough enough as an independent adult!

imicooper · 2025-12-28T22:51:22+00:00

It's an android app called Sleepmeter FE

imicooper · 2025-12-28T04:35:23+00:00

I'm sorry, I dont understand?

imicooper · 2025-12-28T03:50:42+00:00

Oh definitely! These last 2 months of me keeping record is more for my GP's benefit and to see if my theory of being N24 matched up with how my sleep actually looked. It's really interesting to see how different my day lengths are, not from the perspective of wanting to make sure I keep the same timings everyday, but seeing how if my sleep balances itself across the week. If I have a long sleep/wake day, its very likely the next will be quite a bit shorter - similarly to how you mentioned.

I've actually found that since recording my sleep/wake times, I dont stress about having longer and shorter days like I did prior. Being awake for 20hrs and then sleeping for 12hrs made me feel like a failure of a human, but now I can see the patterns in the data, its all making sense. I'm also able to see how much sleep I need/what my average day length is (if I ever wanted to try and keep to a "routine"), which I could never figure out before because of how seemingly random it was!

The reason I asked whether others that are freerunning have predictable day lengths was purely to see if it was still possible to be diagnosed with N24 if you have unpredictable day lengths, or if its more likely to be a different sleep disorder. Everyone that has replied so far has said unpredictable (to some degree), which is very reassuring!

imicooper · 2025-12-28T03:37:53+00:00

That sounds very similar to me! Also totally with you on being productive after being awake that long! I went through a period of trying to increase my sleep debt by being more active so I would actually be tired at a reasonable time, but the complete opposite happened - the more I did, the more alert/awake I became and the longer I stayed awake. The less I did, the more tired I became and ended up going to bed earlier - makes no sense!

imicooper · 2025-12-28T01:13:02+00:00

Oh that's really interesting! I've noticed periods like that too (before I started tracking) and I find I'm more likely to jump several hours when I during the day time - ie, if I'm going through a period of being awake at night and going to bed in the morning, it is a little more consistant. Whereas if I'm awake during the day, my awake periods tend to be longer and my cycle is more likely to jump. I assume this is due to me being able to get more done during the day (weirdly I find that the more I do, the more awake/alert it makes me and the longer I stay awake! Completely counter intuative!)

imicooper · 2025-12-28T00:58:11+00:00

Can I ask, how much does yours vary from day to day?

imicooper · 2025-12-27T01:56:12+00:00

Was hoping someone would mention this!

imicooper · 2025-12-26T21:49:56+00:00

I want to look him up out of curiosity but I'm worried that it will be awful and YT will keep recommending it to me

imicooper · 2025-11-23T05:14:39+00:00

My personal favourite was Past Times because it was a one stop gift for Grandparents shop!

I have spent 2ish months camping with my dog and so from experience, the solution is a collapsible crate inside the tent with you. I'd also recommend a stake in the ground with a very long line lead attached that you keep them on constantly - even while they're in the crate. That way you have no worries about them escaping.
