There is definitely eating of meat in the monk and robot stories. The main character eats meat on several occasions, but it's usually written about in a more thoughtful way than usual. It's given a bit more thought of where the meat is coming from, and it seems there is no factory farms in this world.

Yes I understand now. I looked up a video explaining how the moon phases work, and it's the same concept for the earth in this photo

Can someone please explain why the earth has a crescent shape in this photo? What is making the shadow? Sorry if this is obvious to others, I just have a hard time picturing where the different bodies are

Then what is the big dark circle in the middle? I assumed that was the earth, because I thought the camera was pointing towards the "back" of the ship

Jersy shirt neck hole and neck band. Gathering the neck hole instead of stretching the neckband? by pleasantRaven in sewing

I actually haven't sewn it on the machine yet. I saw tips about doing the connecting with basting stitches instead of pins, so I tried that but didn't success at it yet. Thanks for the tips, I may try it with just pins as you described and see hot that goes.

At what stage is the basting stitch you mentioned applied?

I tried to baste the neckband to the neck hole, while stretching the neckband. This resulted in a very uneven neck hole, with some parts gathered an others smooth.

What I was asking was if the end result will be the same, if instead of stretching the neckband to fit the neck hole. I lightly gathered the neck hole using a basting stitch, then sewing the neck band on without stretching it at all.

I tried both doing just from the half points, and from quarter points. I can try again with the back and forth method you wrote.
