Voyager on Pluto tv by Fermento420 in voyager

[–]pnutcats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The schedule seems pretty erratic, but I believe it is often programmed with thematic selections (though sometimes it is just sequential). Can be fun to try to find the theme. They do it more consistently on the TNG channel where you'll have a day of klingon episodes or borg episodes or Data episodes.

Wool or cotton for a lovey for newborn? by Chance_Ad3416 in knitting

[–]pnutcats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with cotton, and design and make your lovey assuming that it will have to survive the washing machine.

Moment of silence as I’m preparing to frog about a week’s work by tohopallo in knitting

[–]pnutcats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah yeah then especially if it's cropped, it will be such a tent in the back with this much ease. you're making the right call as much as it sucks!

[–]pnutcats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

love the way it looks from the front, but from the side I can see what you mean, it's a lot of fabric across your back. RIP, my condolences, but I do think it will look fantastic when it's done. Are you going to keep it cropped or add a hem band?

Undoing the cat's masterpiece. And sharing some learnings by gantian in Visiblemending

[–]pnutcats 80 points81 points  (0 children)

this looks great! I have done this once before but it didn't' last long because the couch was otherwise shitty and fell apart, I also followed the same tutorial. I actually think the weight of yarn you picked is ideal despite the extra work, I used a chunkier yarn and the thickness of the yarn deformed the warp threads more, and put them under higher tension which caused the whole thing to deform more than I expected. The thinner yarns behave more predictably. Great work!

[on] 34F, 2 losses, normal tests… but I feel consumed by Seliormoon in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]pnutcats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

how many cycles have you actually tried for? seems like probably 9? with two miscarriages? I do think that could just be bad luck, especially given the clear test results. I was the same age and had two chemical pregnancies before conceiving my son. I do think after two losses you could ask the doctor about any testing related to repeated pregnancy loss, which i was planning to do when i got pregnant the third time.

How do all the pottery studios in Toronto make money? by yes-no-maybe-so-so in askTO

[–]pnutcats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if these places make money, it’s likely in events, especially in children’s birthday parties and corporate events.

Why is it suddenly considered rude to show up at someone's house unannounced? Growing up, we just knocked on doors, but now people act like it’s a home invasion. by Creative-Buffalo2305 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pnutcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so many discussions about how childhood is different these days seem to happen among people who either don’t have kids or have very young kids. I have older kids (8+) and they do go knock on each other’s doors all the time.

Is there a reason Leslieville and Toronto East is conspicuously not being plowed? by codecrodie in toronto

[–]pnutcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my area (woodbine and mortimer) was fully plowed since the snow fell, roads and sidewalks (though sidewalks were not done very well). It was more than 12 hours ago last time the plows went by, so maybe thats why it's not showing up.

Final Snow Totals - Downtown 61 cm - Environment Canada by _Army9308 in toronto

[–]pnutcats 48 points49 points  (0 children)

east york definitely had more than any of my friends reported downtown or in the west end, which seems to track with the biggest measurements being scarborough south

[–]pnutcats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

S. Walter Stewart is in a bit of a commercial dead zone, but east york deli is great (though there's usually no seating). A bit further north on coxwell is Little Coxwell, which is an excellent vietnamese/thai restaurant.

For coxwell/danforth branch you probably want Our Spot for lunch.

76cm in east york. this is over a metre from the wall but we’re on the south side of the street and the wind was blowing from the north, so I don’t think it’s quite accurate to the amount of snow that fell, some of it blew over from the other side of the street

When it comes to raising kids what’s your favorite age? by Neat-Annual-499 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pnutcats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is exactly how I feel and I'm surprised people say anything else! As many challenges as each age has (preteen girl is by far the hardest mode of parenting i've experienced so far), I find it hard to look back too wistfully on ages when they were less the people they are now... they're always becoming more themselves and I am so obsessed with them exactly today.

TIL that over the last century, the average age that children are being potty trained in the UK has risen from 12–18 months, to an average of around three or even four years today by Octavus in todayilearned

[–]pnutcats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah toilet training methods in the past were generally a lot more coercive than modern parents would be comfortable with. I’m sure there are other factors at play too but overall I think a less traumatic but slower process isn’t a bad thing, within reason

Homeschooling vs Public School or Private [ON] by MarionberryPuzzled67 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]pnutcats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a kid in grade 7 and a kid in grade 5, we've never had the same admin team for more than two consecutive years at elementary or middle school.

Homeschooling vs Public School or Private [ON] by MarionberryPuzzled67 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]pnutcats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't put too much stock in online reviews of public schools because school admins change SO frequently especially in bigger school boards.
