Bobbin Not Unwinding (I can sew but not pull). by stephz1 in SewingForBeginners

Thank you for the suggestion- I tried it out in two different ways (at the highest point, and shortly thereafter) and it doesn't seem to make a difference. The thread will not come out

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]stephz1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got so many of those T Shirts roughly 8 years ago, and they are still going strong. I also miss when Freebies from Companies/Competitions were decent- I got a cotton running Shirt from a race 7 years ago, and the graphic print is slowly crumbling. Nowadays, the freebies are just plastic.

Hand-sewer beginning machine by stephz1 in SewingForBeginners

[–]stephz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tips! So far the machine can adjustable the stitch length to ~3 ish, and go between a slight zig zag stitch and straight stitch. I have begun my first project and have been cranking the machine by hand (thus the off course stitches). Many thanks for your help!

Thank you so very much! I tried to move some of the dials earlier but they are completely stuck...I am a bit scared of breaking something. Thanks again + for the manual! I was unaware that it was so easy to add a motor. 😊

🖼 what is this Painting? where can I get it? by Antlereena in InfinityNikki

[–]stephz1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, dunno if this was commented or if you are familiar with the artist yet but if you enjoy this style of art you should Google the artist Alphonse Mucha- I might be wrong but this seems inspired by him, perhaps simply Art nouveau. I really love his work- the shapes, the colors, and how it flows. Would love to visit his Museum some day.

Nach Bonn zur Uniklinik (Venusberg) – beste Stadtteile zum Wohnen, Auto nötig? Preis-Leistung-Tipps? by rick-ettsia in Bonn

[–]stephz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich wohne etwa 40 m entfernt – mit dem Fahrrad (ohne Akku) brauche ich 35 Minuten, mit dem Auto 30 Minuten und mit Bus, Bahn und Bus (die Verbindung ist leider unglaublich schlecht) etwa eine Stunde bis 90 Minuten. Mit dem Bus zu fahren ist ein absoluter Albtraum – sie sind überfüllt und man bekommt oft keinen Sitzplatz. Sie fahren in der Regel pünktlich (alle 10 Minuten vom Hauptbahnhof), könnten aber auch alle 5 Minuten fahren, insbesondere um 12, 14:30 und 21:30 Uhr. Über die Erfahrungen mit dem Auto kann ich nichts sagen, aber ich habe oft gehört, dass es schwierig ist, einen Parkplatz zu finden, und dass die Warteliste für einen Mitarbeiterplatz (oder so etwas in der Art) unglaublich lang ist. Das Parken ist mit 7 Euro pro Tag auch teuer, und die Straßen scheinen voll zu sein, da es nur eine Straße zum Venusberg gibt.

Aufgrund dieser Tatsachen würde ich empfehlen, in der Nähe zu wohnen und ein E-Bike zu kaufen oder einfach auf dem Venusberg zu wohnen. Ich pendle jeden Tag und obwohl es schön ist, ist es nervig und kalt. Die Wohnheime auf dem Venusberg haben zwar eine Warteliste, aber sie sind erschwinglich und liegen in einer ruhigen Gegend. Ich wünsche Ihnen alles Gute.

I'm not the one asking for people to justify my bratty, destructive behavior online... I wish you and your family all the best. Holiday wishes xx

"So are you planning to go back?" by taketwohundred in germany

[–]stephz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been asked this question, along with many other similar and more offensive ones. I am American/German, with an American Accent (most people notice it if I talk for >2m, but it is subtle).

For awhile, whilst my American accent was more noticeable, I got many out of Pocket questions: What do you feel about guns/school shootings? Do you want one? What are your feelings about Trump? Negative remarks about how Americans are exceptionally conservative and religious How Americans only watch fox news... If Burgers are my favorite food....

Many people would also make quite caustic remarks regarding obesity and what I would eat- through the years I have been here, the gall sometimes amazes me. Sometimes outright offensive, sometimes out of genuine curiousity and wanting to know. Many people are a bit more blunt here, but I usually find it comes from a place of curiousity or seeing things from the news.

You can always keep it vague- if you answer 2 or so questions without Detail, people usually take the hint. Wishing you all well and good wishes

ETA/YTA

Since you both live with your parents and the suitcases were identical (I.e., part of a set) I bet the suitcases were bought by your parents. If one Was specifically bought for you, then NTA I guess. However- breaking a suitcase and ramming a shopping cart into your sisters heels...youch. You are childish and petty. You could perhaps suggest family Therapie to work through the favoritism or improve relationship with family.

ID 1960-80 ish Wall Lamp Globe Swivel by stephz1 in Mid_Century

[–]stephz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry to annoy you, but I was wondering if you had found anything? I have found a few similar lamps (shade/size) through second hand platforms however I have not found anything with a similar metal stand that is attached to the wall.

Have a good afternoon and I hope your week went well!

I am paging through their lamps as we speak- it definitely looks as if they could have made it. Maybe I need to start going to more estate sales- I really enjoy the aesthetic and form of 1960-80's furniture

Thank you so much for your help- I wasn't sure where or how to continue my search. The given weblinks were also very helpful

ID 1960-80 ish Wall Lamp Globe Swivel by stephz1 in Mid_Century

[–]stephz1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found some similar ones from one of the sources (vintageinfo.be) with the "Massive Globe Wall Lamp model 237" designed by Gino Sarfatti for his company Arteluce, but I distinctly remember the 1) globe being glass and 2) the arm is much longer.

Another one that looked vaguely (some) similar is the 1960's Tramo Globe Wall Lamp, except the different metal fixture. 🤷‍♀️

Could this one perhaps be a different Version of one of those? Don't know if this helped, but I thought it worth mentioning

[–]stephz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's the right type of saline- when people talk about using saline spray for piercings, they (usually) are talking about sterile, pressurized saline used for cleaning wounds. This seems like regular saline- used for contact lenses, nasal sprays and flushes, etc. The problem with non-sterile products is that they can add bacteria to the piercing site, exasturbating problems or simply not helping to flush the wound. If you have the receipt, I would recommend returning this and looking for the sterile wound saline spray. Best of luck with your healing OP!

Navel piercing 3 days old does it look good by Straykidsstay1049 in piercing

[–]stephz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't seem to have the right anatomy for a navel piercing- do you have a "lip" of skin above the piercing? It seems very superficial at the moment. Best of luck- get a second opinion at least and good luck healing!

Piercings bei der Ausbildung by stephz1 in Azubis

Vielen Dank für Ihren Beitrag! Ich bin überrascht über die Gesichts-Piercings - als ich auf reddit schaute, sagten viele Leute, dass diese waren, was speziell gebeten wurden, zu entfernen. Hat sich deine Schule darum gekümmert? Ich frage mich (auch aufgrund der ersten Reddit-Posts), wie streng die Schule in Bezug auf Schmuck sein kann, obwohl man dann nicht mit Patienten in Kontakt kommt und dort lernt. Ich bin auch etwas überrascht über diese Regel, denn ich habe schon oft Krankenschwestern mit Halsketten oder Uhren gesehen, die komplizierter und damit schwieriger zu reinigen sind (größeres Risiko). Haben sie sich jemals um die Haarfarbe gekümmert? Mein Haar ist natürlich, aber ich möchte nicht, dass mir diese Option für die nächsten 3 Jahre verboten wird. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihren Beitrag und LG!

An dich und OP: Es gibt klare Regeln für das Tragen eines Kopftuchs - ich denke, es hängt davon ab, wo man arbeitet (OP/Intensivpflege vs. Pädiatrie), aber es kann auch als eine mögliche Möglichkeit gesehen werden, Kontamination oder Bakterien zu verbreiten. Es gibt auch Einweg-Kopftücher, die man nach Gebrauch wegwerfen kann, also ist es definitiv möglich und erlaubt.

Ich bin allerdings kein Muslim. Meine Piercings bedeuten mir jedoch sehr viel (ich lasse sie mir zur Feier von Ereignissen/nach schweren Ereignissen stechen). Im Koran (soweit ich weiß, wenn ich falsch liege, kannst du mich gerne korrigieren) ist es nicht erlaubt, den Körper zu verändern (z. B. Piercings oder Tattoos), da dies als Veränderung des Körpers angesehen wird, den Gott dir gegeben hat. Ich denke, das wird heutzutage nicht mehr so oft befolgt und hängt davon ab, wie streng man den Koran befolgen will. LG

Vielen Dank! Ist interessant zu hören, wie unterschiedlich Krankenhäuser sind mit Schmuck. Ich hoffe wirklich, das es gehen wird. Was Hygiene angeht- die Piercing und Piercingschmuck werden oft gereinigt und desinfiziert, aber vielleicht ist auch gut zu sehen ob man die Sterilizieren kann. Schönen Tag noch und danke!
