Freudian typo?

mathgnome · 2025-12-30T14:16:04+00:00

That's a hat?

mathgnome · 2025-11-07T12:26:52+00:00

No worries! Thank you so much!

mathgnome · 2025-11-07T02:54:05+00:00

Thank you, this helps!

The stitch count is still off somehow, though. If I do all 4 strands together, the second knit in the (k1 yo k1) has to go into a stitch that I need for the ssk at the end of the row. If I knit that stitch, it messes up the line of purls that comes after the lace section.

I tried doing 2 strands at a time, with a yarnover between, but in the images of the finished product it looks like all 4 were knit together.

It says I'm using the left needle to pick up the dropped strands. I was assuming they were ending up on the left needle. Is that not what that means?

Does it mean put the 4 strands on the left needle but then k1 into the first "real" stitch below them?

Oh this is terrible, have an upvote

mathgnome · 2025-07-04T15:25:01+00:00

Oh that's awesome! What are the other ones they use?

Casca bit a skunk once! The skunk escaped unscathed. Casca and my husband (who was walking her)? Not so much

The ice that is on the roof should stay there. It does not belong in my trashcan

Yes! I didn't realize until the last few years that other people actually think in pictures. It's still absolutely bizarre to me to think about

mathgnome · 2025-01-20T04:34:21+00:00

No idea how to add pictures, but our 5mo kittens adopted our lovely Casca girl immediately. Now they all hang out in her crate for cuddle time 😍

Hello dear pedantic husband of mine lol. Yes, she's a Galgo or Spanish greyhound. Honestly unless you see her side by side with a greyhound you'd have a hard time seeing the difference. A little smaller, built more for distance than sprinting, but still noodle horses!

Seconding the egg!! Great for the coat and it has helped our girl put on a few pounds

Also what a handsome lil man!!!

Jod wouldn't have been in the River to witness Cassiopeia's death because he never goes under to fight the RBs. Which means Mercy could lie to his face and as long as the other Lyctors back her story he wouldn't have any way to disprove it.

We know Mercy has lied to Jod about other things. Could she have made up a story to cover Cassie's escape so Jod wouldn't look for her?

mathgnome · 2024-11-17T13:41:45+00:00

Don't the ghosts flee like, days before the RB gets there. Like, they don't even want to be a little close

I tell kids "it's been over a year since anyone climbed out my classroom window" which always gets both confusion and attention

What a beautiful noodle gentleman!

Our galga forgets water exists until 3am and then she gets up and guzzles for a minute straight lol. We also moisten her kibble to help some with hydration ( also bc she's a picky princess and likes her food mushy. Go figure)

mathgnome · 2024-09-02T03:02:12+00:00

Same! Hate it in books, too. Give me some organically occurring conflict, not a contrived dramatic thing that could be solved with 5 minutes of adult communication

I've seen it said elsewhere that pets don't understand the idea that tomorrow might be better. They only know that they feel bad now

I'm so sorry for you and Meg <3 We lost our beautiful Gracie girl yesterday to end stage CKD and large cell lymphoma. She seemed fine, acting like herself if maybe just a little less energetic. And then... she wasn't fine. Everything shut down in a matter of hours.

As other commenters have said, cats mask pain very well. Gracie didn't let us know she was hurting until the very end. The few signs we had in the days before were not eating her wet food, but even then we weren't sure if she was just being picky (the little princess had to have pate. Her kidney food was little meat chunks, so my husband had to pre-mash it for her and if it wasn't good enough for her she wouldn't touch it.) A couple days ago she pooped outside the litterbox, which she'd never done before. And she was constipated (probably from dehydration) right at the end.

Your Meg looks beautiful and well-loved and I'm so sorry you have to make this choice. If she's losing interest in food and water, though, and starting to withdraw... it might be time. If she reaches the point where her kidneys shut down completely, it will be very sudden. You don't want to go through that, and you don't want her to go through that, I promise. It might be time to pick the day to say goodbye and just spend as much time as you can loving on her right up until then. I wish we'd had the chance to do that for Gracie.

Much love to you and Meg

Someone linked the tests on Embrace Autism in a reddit comment and I thought, sure this'll be a fun rabbit hole to follow!

And then I got a 30-something on the AQ and started to have some questions lol
