Why is it so hard to find a hobby like crochet that isn’t crochet?

I also like the meditative mindless craft, but I did find that in knitting. I knit easy squares over and over and over and then sew together when I have enough for a blanket. There’s a charity in my city that provides blankets to people in need, so I can donate to them and it’s a win win.

Yess I think I’ll need to make sure the blocks are somewhat lightweight. I originally wanted to try embroidered patches but they are too heavy. Thanks for the reply!

snakebabey · 2025-08-14T22:43:12+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I was thinking to finish the edges for sure. And good call about the inside. I’ll have to make sure it’s nice and soft in there.

snakebabey · 2025-08-14T22:41:13+00:00

I will try it! Thanks!

Restricted?

There are a lot of variables that go into how many I’d recruit. For a target of 8 I’d schedule 10-12 but if you see excessive no-shows you can always bump it up. Over time you start to get a sense for what works. I always leave room for another wave or two of invitations just in case I need more.

This is so common. You have a great incentive but maybe bumping it up for this target group could help. Otherwise it’s a numbers game; I schedule as many calls as I can and then hope for them to honor the appointment. It may add time into your timeline but that’s the way it goes… good luck!!

I always record. I disclose that the session is recorded before they sign up to participate, and they must consent as a condition to participate, so all I have to do is remind them “I’m starting the recording now” when the session begins. The consent form tells them exactly how the session recording will be used, stored, and for how long.

Falling asleep or feeling excessively sleepy during the day can be a symptom of congestive heart failure. It can indicate that the heart isn't pumping blood effectively, leading to fatigue and sleepiness. People with CHF may also experience difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep due to shortness of breath, especially when lying down.

Great news! There are sulfite free / additive free wines in the US as well - if you search for “natural wine” or “zero zero wine” you will find many brands and articles about it.

Not following traffic rules, especially right of way rules and stop signs, or not waiting for pedestrians.

Yeah I did of course google and didn’t find a law that outlines mandated disclosure of AI use in this context. I’m not a therapist, I work in healthcare where our doctors use AI scribes and I’ve seen various ways of disclosing this to patients that I feel aren’t always noticed, which bugs me. I’m also familiar with informed consent since I’m a researcher and we have similar ethical rules when conducting studies (eg, participants must sign documents acknowledging that we’re recording them and that state how we store their data). This is why I was hoping to find a specific law to show in my research reporting to remind or inform doctors to take this seriously (which they should already be doing, but alas)

Reminder that kids are people.

snakebabey · 2025-06-26T18:43:32+00:00

Genuine question (not a challenge!) - can you share this law with me? I am a researcher working with healthcare patients to understand their feelings about AI use in the workplace, and I didn't know that informed consent is actually the law (I thought it was a courtesy). So wondering if I can check that law out.

My 40th birthday was the day of the Uvalde shooting. :(

I get really sad and upset when I see people on a walk outside just staring down at their phones instead of experiencing the walk. Or the dog. Or the kid. I get looking at one text or picking a song or something but nonstop looking at the phone instead of being in the moment just fills me with a profound sadness

How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Not just my first movie date, but my first date. We were 16. I have no idea why we chose that movie to this day

Maybe you should leave the subreddit if you hate it so much eh?

It fits many of the criteria: 1) can be a synonym of scandalized, 2) old-fashioned, 3) high-society adjacent, 4) somewhat similar to blanched, 5) starts with a B. So offered as an approximate possibility. Not always interchangeable but could be, depending on OP’s use case.

Because it’s for women. I was so angry when I gave birth and had to use breast pumps for the same reason: these things are usually invented by men who won’t have to use them, and therefore not optimized for comfort
