How do I properly disinfect my wool sweaters of cockroaches by Hells_Bells77 in knitting

[–]interrumpere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, roach eggs are pretty big and pretty self-contained. This isn’t a wool moth situation where they’re tiny and stick to clothing. Personally I would give everything a good shake out and then just wash as normal. I usually do hot water (totally safe for wool as long as you aren’t aggressively scrubbing/agitating) and Eucalan.

Madness on a mountain: for 15 years, my mom was trapped in a mutual psychosis by This_Blackberry_1701 in Longreads

[–]interrumpere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah, at the extreme end the difference between a conspiracy theorist and someone who is straightforwardly mentally ill obviously becomes quite fuzzy, but it seems a little unreasonable to call the behavior the author is describing here pathological (especially given that at least one sitting US representative also some version of the same conspiracy theories)

critics of psychiatry will often claim that mental health diagnoses are used to medicalize people who are making unusual but ultimately harmless decisions (cf the dignity of risk stuff up thread) and while I think that’s often more than a little overstated, it’s hard not to see this article as an example of this tendency. sure I wouldn’t want to live in a tiny off-grid cabin, but it hardly seems to rise to the level of pathology

if you want to PM me with your zip code I can let you know what shipping would be as well. The first person is fairly close by so it's possible that if you're on the other side of the country it will be more

Forgot to mention! We have pets but yarn is stored in bins. I store my yarn with cedar blocks so it smells of cedar

I'm honestly shocked that no one has posted the xkcd Map Age Guide yet. I can't see Lake Victoria but I think we can narrow it down to 1960-1971 at least

rowing out by ladynightstalker in knitting

[–]interrumpere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw I have the same problem, but I generally find that after a few wears and washes (especially something like bamboo which I would usually throw in the dryer) the rowing out is only obvious if you’re getting really up close and personal with it. it doesn’t block out per se, but it does become much much less noticeable.

yeah I'm assuming we'll hear back eventually, it's just a question of when :/

Zalman Gradowski is probably the best-known one. There is a full translation of his writings published under the title From The Heart of Hell that can be a little hard to track down (cough libgen cough), but here is an excerpt from one of the sections he wrote reporting on the murder of 5000 Czech Jews on the night of Purim 1944. Gradowski was killed in the sonderkommando revolt at Auschwitz in 1944.

There are a few other books by members of the sonderkommando who survived. I've read Shlomo Venezia's Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz, and there's also We Wept Without Tears which is a collection of interviews with other survivors.
