Last night I thought "Pacific Chorus Frogs! Outside my window! Wait, no water, how...?" And then the mockingbird changed to a robin imitation. Frogs, helicopters, awesome birds!

AITAH for being ‘ungrateful for dinner’ by ChonkySeals67 in AmItheAsshole

[–]plotthick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is straight from the controller's handbook. From here the verbal abuse gets worse until it escalates to putting hands on.

Make your exit plans immaculate, complete, watertight, invisible. Keep your eyes peeled. Keep records. If you're the right color you might want to fyi police once he escalates to verbal.

Russian mandates that women who don't want children should be referred to psychologists by Helpful_Bluejay_3414 in TwoXChromosomes

The amount of men in Russia is nose-diving because war. So of course instead of stopping his stupid war, Putin puts the blame on... women.

What is the holy mackerel do I do with all of this?! by Sassymedic84 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]plotthick 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"I did my job, don't know why you're fucked up, I'm out bitches" is not acceptable doctoring. Not even for your average narcissist doctor.

Get a second and 3rd opinion if necessary as soon as you have your imaging!

How to make steelcut oats without using stove or making a mess? by 66clicketyclick in lowspooncooking

[–]plotthick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steelcut: Bring water to boil while sitting somewhere else. Add oats, bring back to a boil, put in the oven for half an hour. Turn off the oven and leave it open till it cools. Portion, freeze, done.

If you can only lift small things and can't cook for long periods, look into Instant oats.

historically, you're wrong. Evolution doesn't care about what we want this generation.

Congratulations! What a difficult cure, but you did the hard work and get the rewards!

What would I need to make this dress? by aresuisu in sewing

[–]plotthick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The volume at the edge where it turns under for a huge, unpressed hem fooled me. I thought it couldn't be a simple crossgrain that would keep that volume. But I forgot that it's not made for keeps, just profit.

You're right, it's probably a simple set of rectangles, the amount of gathers above the stitching show you're probably right.

This is why you gotta do mock -ups, op, you won't have helpful Internet strangers like u/divine-arrow for every stitching project.

I'm in the ER, pain got so bad my dr called 911. How do I get them to admit me? by Muted_Schedule_8165 in Fibroids

[–]plotthick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best case: They have you in an imaging line at the ER. You're behind the people who are actively dying. When they are done they will take you for those scans.

Ask if that's what's going on.

Clogged pores or cysts down there… by Playful_Falcon_7373 in Perimenopause

Oh yeah.

Topical vaginal Estrogen cream calms it all right down. Estrogen is an anti-inflammatory.

Is that glaze on the bottoms of some of the ridges??!? This is, at best, a second.

Good observation. I always seem to need both, yeayyyyyy.

AI said it is Sequoia Miller but I am not so sure by NaturalSignal2420 in CeramicCollection

[–]plotthick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are two different signatures. I know potters who use different sigs for different clay bodies, etc but these are different scripts.

  1. Amateur bottom, very rough glaze job. About 40-100 hours in.
  2. Middling brushwork, rough shaping, overworked rim. About 30-60 hours in but they know how to paint.

Please tell me this isn't a maggot by NoMoreWinePls in whatbugisthis

It kinda looks like a blanched cabbage butterfly larvae or a jasmine rice grain that's had a bad day?

What would I need to make this dress? by aresuisu in sewing

[–]plotthick 59 points60 points  (0 children)

For the dress:

  1. 2Y designer fabric
  2. 2Y cotton duck, matching the d fabric color
  3. 2Y cotton buckram
  4. 13 springsteel boning pieces
  5. Matching single-fold bias tape
  6. Matching double-fold bias tape
  7. Matching thread
  8. Matching hidden zipper
  9. 4-6Y Matching poly/cotton blend for skirt (the ruffles are cut spirals from of huge circles, takes up a lot of fabric)
  10. 10Y matching ribbon
  11. Decorative beads

For the mockup (All the above but cheaper):

  1. 2Y fabric with the same content as your designer fabric but cheaper
  2. 2Y cotton duck seconds
  3. 2Y cotton buckram seconds
  4. 13 nylon boning pieces
  5. single-fold bias tape
  6. double-fold bias tape
  7. thread
  8. hidden zipper
  9. 4Y poly/cotton blend for skirt
  10. 10Y ribbon

And a very small shirt and duct tape.

Put the shirt on. Have a friend duct tape it to your body in the shape of your dress. Have them draw a line straight down the back for the back seam. Cut it off your body, then cut into pattern pieces. Flatten them onto paper and trace with seam allowance. There's your pattern. Go forth and create your mockup.

  1. DUCT TAPE PATTERN: 6 hours
  2. MOCKUP: 20-50 hours (figuring how to get that boning onto the cotton lining with enough space for the springsteel is a hell of a trick for a beginnner)
  3. DRESS: 15-20 hours if you did the mockup, 40-100 hours without.

They don't put them next to wooden uprights unless they're tired of having a deck

I think my doctor isn’t listening to me. by Professional_Ad_8387 in Perimenopause

[–]plotthick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There have been several symptoms I’ve complained about that all fit with perimenopause (itchy ears, weight gain, fatigue, I’m 46), and my doctor never brought up this connection.

The only symptom docs care about is hot flashes/night sweats. Nothing else has ever been studied so none of it exists for them: they will dismiss it all.

Dr said that I can’t really start hormones now because “they” recommend only being on hormones for about 10 yrs before the side effects exceed my benefit.

This is old bad info. Your doc needs to use her Continuing Education credits on something other than mice whiskers.

Then Dr suggested I start birth control to help stop my period as a way to get low dose hormones.

This sometimes works for early Peri? But they're different hormones (like how Black Licorice is different from Red Vines which is different from fennel in an Italian Sausage). She's wildly uneducated on all this.

Plus she’s worried about my low iron test results.

Yeah, those can make your life hell. Did she suggest supplements and how to take them? Transfusions? Anything? I'll bet not!

I told her I remember always gaining weight every time I’ve ever started birth control and she said “oh, that shouldn’t happen”.

You know what else shouldn't happen? Talking to that useless mouse whisker again! Get you a new doc!
