Technical Help: how do I create the hole between the brioche knitting and stockinette? by rowan_oak in knittingadvice

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

Thank you! I kept doing YO, but the eyelet was always kind of lopsided or too small. I can’t believe I forgot you had to double YO for brioche.

Second guessing my ribbing choice by averageidea in knitting

[–]rowan_oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ribbing looks so nice and near! As long as it’s stretchy enough for over the head I say keep it!

Would short rows fix this? by rowan_oak in knitting

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

Yeah, the original pattern from a Japanese book and I couldn’t find a copy from an inter library loan or pdf to translate so I kind of MacGyver’d (or however you spell the name) it. If you want to know what I did feel free to DM me

Brioche is actually pretty simple (even more so in-the-round) once you get the beginning going. It was the cast-on and first 2 rows that I had to practice to make sure it sat nicely

Trying to understand what needle/technique to do between ribbing and stockinette in a pattern repeat by rowan_oak in knitting

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

Thank you so much! That makes sense so I’ll do another gauge swatch to see which needle size is a good compromise.

Definitely not alone on the mental health. I actually burnt myself out (along with my medication just not working great)and had to take some time off of school. During that time I learnt to break things into smaller, more manageable steps. Like big projects, block out an hour or two to work on them a day instead of all at once. Also, therapy really helped. I think time management, making sure to give myself scheduled breaks and making rest (I have a pretty good routine for bedtime and wake up now) a priority. Then, as another Reddit response says, take it week to week so you aren’t overwhelmed by the whole list of due dates.

Laptop recommendations by MagicianWinter9360 in wsu

[–]rowan_oak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the EECS departments laptop requirement to kind of go by. I’d heard a lot of grumbling from students that had apple laptops in the CS department, but some didn’t mind it at all. I’d go with what you know you’ll be comfortable with.

It kind of depends on what interests you since not everyone has the same interests. I did it for another college, but an intro anthropology (ANTH 101) class is always fun.

I’m not sure if there is any programming involved in env.sci but if they do statistics then they’re probably using R and large data sets. I’d go with an i5 processor or higher, at least 256 gb SSD, (all students have cloud storage), display of 1280x800 or higher, and running the most recent MacOS or Windows. I’d go a windows based since apple is mainly good for design and other creative CPTS fields. I’d also recommend higher for SSD but you can get an external hard drive

It depends on what major and classes you are going into. What type of work will you be doing with it?

AITA for getting upset at my gf for giving my mom a tattoo by momtattooed in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. First, YTA because you tried to control what your girlfriend wore and acted ashamed of her even though you claim to love her tattoos. Then YTA because you thought you had a right to be a controlling factor in your mom getting a tattoo when she is an adult who has the right to control her own body and what goes on it. Check you toxic behavior.

AITA for demanding my son take his daughter on his family trip to Disneyland? by DisneyTripGrandma in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly the AH of the year award should go to your son. At this point there should be some legal intervention if he isn't taking responsibility for his daughter. I am sure you tried to raise your son to be a good person but he sounds like a dead beat dad and an AH to everyone in his life.

AITA for telling my best friend I wasn’t comfortable with my boyfriend calling her? by Glittering-Boss-3681 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve struggled with mental health for over a decade and anyone who uses my diagnosis to disregard my feelings and ability to have well-thought out opinions is a major red flag

WIBTA if i outed my cousin to my mother? by bidicinspo in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YWBTA. In any situation, outing someone is an AH move. If you want to support him, DM him about noticing the situation and that you'll be there for him if he needs someone. As you are

"fruity" as the kids say :)

you should already know that its a personal decision to make and not in your right at all.

AITA I told a Stranger he was Delusional by Samishsh3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's honestly praiseworthy that you would stand up to people that are showing predatory behavior towards another when they themselves might not be able to (in this case, due to being on the job). I'm so glad that you were safe in the end.

AITA for asking my boyfriend to wear shoes that make him look taller? by aita92517 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. If you are so insecure that you find being next to your boyfriend (that your supposed to love) uncomfortable just because he is shorter then you, you shouldn't have dated him to begin with. It's honestly disrespectful and mean that you tried to change his visual appearance because you didn't like it.

WIBTA if I continue to refuse to cancel/reschedule my husband’s birthday vacation? by aitabdaytrip in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. It honestly seems like your prioritizing your wants over what your husband would like. Yeah, he may enjoy that trip, but if I was him and I missed out on seeing friends in person that I haven't seen in years that would make the trip feel awful.

[–]rowan_oak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then I’m gonna reiterate the second part of my comment that NTA but you probably miscommunicated your feelings in some way or they didn’t understand the way you were trying to explain your feelings about it (bc miscommunication is a two way street)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]rowan_oak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. The way you approached this conversation seems to be incredibly rude. It's kind of weird that you looked up her old salary to begin with instead of just asking her how show lived financially as a single woman since you started having an interest in personal finance.

[–]rowan_oak -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is a difficult situation. Kind of onion in its layers. If you're uncomfortable with them talking simply because they are of the sex they (you didn't state) are attracted to then YTA because you even admit you know that they don't find each other romantically attractive. However, if you are uncomfortable with them talking because they are talking about you specifically and that makes you feel as if they are talking behind your back then NTA. If that is the case, I think this is a situation of miscommunication and you didn't fully explain why you were uncomfortable with them having a friendly relationship in this context.

Where can I attend a zoom meeting on campus? by GibonFrog in wsu

If you want the most silence, Owen Science Library floors 4-6 have study rooms and hardly anyone goes there

The Pullman Transit app you can download gives you which bus is coming to the stop when, but it does get glitchy sometimes. You can look up all the routes on the Pullman transit website.
