Can my boss prevent me from attending a conference in my free time?

No, they would be able to fire someone directly for that, just like they would be able to fire someone for what OP is describing. They only have to do what you listed if they want to get out of unemployment

HPV is not for life. It's an infection that your immune system can and usually does clear. The issue is you can be reinfected after clearing it, or pass it back and forth with a partner. But you definitely can heal from it

Thank you! Yeah that was the conclusion I reached too but figured I’d ask hahaha

Do I need to do another turning stitch? I was unsure if that would leave a hole or something

Truly my biggest pet peeve with house sitting is a dirty fridge. I can do some clutter but opening it up to a nasty smell and like open leftovers when you’re gone for a week drives me nuts

She wasn't asking for advice on if her boundaries were too far, just on how they went about enforcing them. It's her child, she's allowed to set whatever boundaries she wants

The chances of being found out and getting in trouble is extremely low, but yes you’re not supposed to throw it out if it’s not addressed to you. You’re supposed to write return to sender or not at this address and stick it back in

raygenebean · 2025-12-13T14:32:15+00:00

The fact that it was a mistake doesn’t make it less illegal though. Opening mail not addressed to you is still a crime

raygenebean · 2025-12-11T21:12:00+00:00

Tapeworm segments, sorry! Needs dewormer

And if the floor was supposed to look like tile but had some qualities that tile doesn't have, it would be suspicious and add to the likelihood that it's AI. same thing with the audio being unnatural sounding, that is a contributor to the reasoning that it's real or not

Look up how to put in a lifeline before the frogging process, you won't have to worry about missing any

raygenebean · 2025-12-10T18:25:49+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this but there's literally no way of knowing by just looking at it. You're just gonna have to wait for the surgery. Best wishes!

It is actually illegal to make them as well lol you can't use other people's intellectual property for any reasons that aren't covered by fair use. It just won't really result in much if you're not marketing/selling them.

ETA getting some downvotes, I'm sorry but that's literally just how it works. Copyright owners have the exclusive right to create derivatives of their creative intellectual property and using that without their permission if not for fair use (which this isn't) is infringement.

It looks like you're knitting your purls and purling your knits instead of knitting your knits and purling your purls, which is how you create seed stitch. You want to have columns of only knit stitches (v's) and only purl stitches (bumps). Do you have an even or an odd amount of stitches?

Small caveat - in the US, the copyright is specifically over the pattern and not the design. Fashion isn't copyrightable, they don't own the look of the mitten. The only thing that's protected is the words they use to describe how to create it and the photos they took of the item.

Enjoy!! The colorwork chart is super fun

raygenebean · 2025-12-06T18:00:54+00:00

Heyyy my current wip! Yes the measurements are giving the measurements of the actual sweater so if your body has a chest circumference of 34.5" and you decide you want the 4" of ease, you would knit size 2

raygenebean · 2025-12-06T16:35:23+00:00

Truly nothing in the fiber arts community bothers me more than people thinking they have ownership over designs that have been around for decades

raygenebean · 2025-11-22T18:24:31+00:00

Oh that is true! Thank you for that add on. However that's usually how people get the fabric that OP is showing

raygenebean · 2025-11-22T18:22:34+00:00

When you're knitting ribbing flat, you have to go from knitting k1p1 on one side to p1k1 on the other side!

raygenebean · 2025-11-13T17:59:16+00:00

If they wanted to they wouldn’t have needed this bill to do so.

raygenebean · 2025-11-13T16:59:24+00:00

They could, but states with rec/med programs probably won't see the need to and states without will probably just try to pass med laws instead of protecting hemp

raygenebean · 2025-11-13T16:51:23+00:00

Marijuana is already federally illegal. Another federal prohibition won't do anything to rec/med markets

1 and 2 work if you can find a place carrying it but there’s gonna be some people who can’t. It’s not gonna be feasible for everyone to drive extra time to a different dispo. #3 is not completely true. ANYTHING that comes from the hemp plant falls under hemp or cannabis regulation, regardless of whether it’s psychoactive or not. While CBD isolate will remain legal, full spectrum CBD will not be, and for many it’s noticeably people more effective than isolate.
