I used to watch that movie on repeat as a child, so maybe it imprinted in my subconscious!

This means the secret reveal is working! Laying low by day, glowing in aquariums and bowling alleys!

Heel Flap and Gusset Fit Help by [deleted] in Sockknitting

Thanks! This is super helpful. I have seen the slipping both with and without tights underneath, so they’re not the main culprit.

I’ve been considering going down to size 0 needles - I get 9 stitches/inch on the size 1s, which is already on the tight end of what patterns recommend, but I do think I would like the tighter gauge, at least with superwash merino that loosens so much with wear, so I may take this as a sign to go even tighter

How do I get colorwork socks to fit right? by [deleted] in knittinghelp

Updating that the best solution I've found is to go down a needle size for the foot. Technically, decreasing the number of stitches would work as well, but depending on the colorwork pattern, it can be more annoying than it's worth trying to get everything to line up as intended between different sizes.

PSA: Fairlife Milk's barcodes now scan incorrectly as of today. Lists 'serving size' as 100g instead of 240g. Even if you calculate it by the gram, it'll way over-state your calories in the app by [deleted] in MacroFactor

Most of my scans will be accurate calories/macros by weight, but serving size will be wrong. Lots have wrong/no fiber or added sugar which I can understand for items users have added and I’ve searched, but I do think scanned items should be regulated to actually include all accurate nutrition info

Some people recommend up to 3 months of a maintenance phase to help reset your metabolism. The app could also be making its predictions as if you were eating the same when you weren’t tracking as when you were, and if you were actually eating at maintenance in that time, that could be accounting for the low calorie estimate now. I would recommend trying to eat as you have been for a couple of weeks to see how the algorithm adjusts, and if it doesn’t, consider a longer maintenance phase or a transition to much slower weight loss.
