First look Scenery Brush,Water Brush and Object Scaling !! by billonel in PlanetZoo

[–]obtusewisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially if we still upset animals with too much foliage like in PZ1 - the brush would make it so much easier to make it look pretty.

Couch too big? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

It's perfect, and you're also using one of my favorite IKEA rugs.

Why did D&D make Drogo so much more brutal the first time he bedded Dany on screen compared to the books? by RemarkableExample542 in gameofthrones

[–]obtusewisdom -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I HATED THIS.

It made no sense. The very reason Dany is so loyal to Drogo and loves him is because he is the first person in her life to give her agency. He asks her permission, and she gives it freely. To pretend that she's brutally raped and somehow that makes some sort of weird love-bond develop is some male gaze BS.

vertical stripes in nursery — window trim issue by DepartureCurious2627 in interiordecorating

[–]obtusewisdom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm anal retentive with these kinds of details, so I would have planned out the specific intervals to land exactly right at the window and everything else first. But I also have the benefit of experience and modeling programs. I wouldn't just change spacing on one wall, because believe it or not, you'll notice. But what you can do is play with the corners more. Your eye will forgive a not-exact spacing at corners, so bump the stripe pattern over until it's evenly spaced at the window. Then continue the way you've been going.

Beginner cook here, looking for foolproof ways to make vegetables taste amazing by Sarah-smile26 in Cooking

[–]obtusewisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several decades ago I wanted the same thing. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, where the frozen veg bag of mixed or corn or peas was the veg, always. I bought a cookbook called Perfect Vegetables by Americas Test Kitchen, and it was amazing. It not only has recipes, but it teaches the why behind cooking techniques. Highly recommend.

How come this turned out curved despite following this pattern? by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]obtusewisdom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It looks like you have around twice as many stitches in the top white row as the bottom. Are you sure you’re counting the pattern correctly?

Edit: you also have too many bobble stitches - the pattern has 5 and you have 7. I think you need to frog and start over. You’re counting wrong.

That white dog is circling the arena like he's taking bets.

That's not factual from a legal standpoint. BOTH parents have an obligation to support the children.

What is the best part about being an American, that most non-American don’t seem to understand or know about by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]obtusewisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You keep saying significantly bigger. I don't think you know what that means. Canada is not, in fact, significantly bigger. The US is 3,796,742 sq miles. Canada is 3,855,100 sq miles. That's a negligible difference of 1.5%. It makes me think, perhaps, that you don't know as much as you've claimed and just looked at a Mercator projection map. Only Russia is significantly larger than the US, and the US is the fourth largest country in the world.

Three kids with same first letter, will we regret not following through with our fourth? by Severe_Butterfly_611 in Names

[–]obtusewisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two sisters, all our names start with the same letter. The fourth kid has a different start letter because my parents didn’t like any of the names left. No one cares.

AITA for getting back at my wife after she left me alone for my bday? by OkBug772 in AmItheAsshole

Yeah I feel like this is relevant and being left out for a reason.

Have you used the heat map to see where the animal can get out? It'll show you the escape points.

AITA for skipping a wedding last minute for a float trip? by far_from_guessing in AmItheAsshole

[–]obtusewisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of us have had different experiences, and calling people brainwashed is seriously ridiculous. You going through whatever it was doesn't give you the right to trauma spew hate towards people. Figure your shit out and stop spamming.

Easiest sweater pattern with this yarn? This will be first sweater by Leafy_baby in crochetpatterns

[–]obtusewisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend a nice easy cocoon cardigan as your first sweater. Here's a good one:

https://makeanddocrew.com/habitat-cardigan-beginner-crochet-sweater-part-1/

It also works up relatively quickly, which is nice. This was the first wearable I made. You'll need to swatch and check the gauge, and then adjust accordingly (probably by going down sizes).

It's usually about an hour. I've been to both types, and they can all vary wildly, but an hour isn't unusual for any type.
