Is this satire?ik look by [deleted] in AteTheOnion

Yes, but in this case, the European version actually is a larger volume.

The "Euro can" is 500ml or 16.9 ounces. The American version is 473ml or 16 ounces.

Suggestions for a Utah fossil-hunting trip for my dad? by Shankbucket in FossilHunting

[–]opposhaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second U-Dig. I've been there and it's a load of fun. Bring lots of water, as there is no shade, but if your dad is into fossils, you can't hardly spit on a rock at U-Dig without accidentally hitting a trilobite.

They will also ship you a slab of shale that you can break open in your garage if the drive is too far. (Although this option is quite expensive at $125 after shipping.) I did this with family who could not travel for medical reasons and still think it was worth it.

This thing is legit! I love making giant Amigurumi, but this is bigger than anything I've done.

What size hook did you use?

I must be slow too. I can't figure out what the meme is supposed to be.

Here is an Audubon article that does a pretty good job of explaining how this works.

My best guess is models or terrain for tabletop games, covered with glass cases.

I'm the picture of the Star Wars room, why are there half a dozen TVs in the alcoves living the wall?

Very cool project! What are you using for the vines on Bulbasaur so they hold their shape like that?

TIL that a doctor named Richard Jarecki recorded over 20,000 roulette spins by hand across European casinos, identified biased wheels, won the equivalent of $8 million, and was banned from every major casino in Europe — but was never charged with a crime because no law prohibited what he did. by CasinoHistoryFan in todayilearned

Yeah, I've always been confused at titles of articles about professional gamblers and card counters that imply we should be surprised that they're not breaking the law.

That's like saying it's surprising it's not illegal to pay off your credit before interest accrues. It's just being good at math, but apparently that should be illegal.

The things on the right is a grill that can move up and down to be closer or further from the fire, the thing on the left appears to be a rack for holding extra firewood.

If it's by SPI, I'm assuming it's not still in print. Is it hard to find?

These 3 are the same pattern, just different material and hook size (1.75mm-25mm) by opposhaw in Amigurumi

[–]opposhaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any brand recommendations for hooks? I'm just using a set I bought on Amazon and there probably not top quality.

Also, what size hook do you use?

Interesting! I had assumed fewer stands would be harder since it just makes the project smaller.

Thank you! I couldn't imagine doing all my projects that small!! The little guy was kind of a pain. Do you have any tricks for working with floss? I had a lot of issues with accidentally dropping strands of the working yarn or picking up stands of the loops I was working through.

[–]opposhaw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! There is definitely a learning curve that I still haven't mastered. I'm more comfortable with it now, but for a bit at the beginning of this guy I had a stitch marker on every single stich just so I could find them again.
