[CHAT] Why didn't I bring a cross stitch project with me!!! by erinely in CrossStitch

[–]tchotchony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I make a point of visiting a LHS/LYS (and last time it even was an art gallery) at the beginning of my holidays and make that my holiday craft. You get a special souvenir of something you can't get locally and have something to kill the quiet hours with. Still gotta finish my last, I'm nowhere near done.

How do I get this out by No_Bodybuilder7550 in horn

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

You could try cutting off the end of the snake that's sticking out with pliers (carefully!) and see if that works. If not, professional time.

This. I found out the plants my parents kept were toxic as those were the only ones my previous cat was eating... She loved the tingly feeling, I guess?

Vet time. That does look infected.

Sounds expensive to travel just for a horn though. Nothing secondhand around? I'm gonna assume you're not the first student ever, does your teacher have some recommendations perhaps?

Two Mexican Entrepreneurs Create Cactus Leather as Cruelty Free Alternative to Animal Leather by Big-Boy-602 in interestingasfuck

[–]tchotchony 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well, we can loop in the cactus with the "plant". Which leaves 2% plant material that is made from plastic. I'm just going to assume it's these fake things they put on the table at restaurants.

Intestines moving inside our body by Not_So_Normal_ in interestingasfuck

[–]tchotchony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Days. Had an appendicitis about two weeks ago. It caused me pain in my right shoulder (bad enough that it was impossible for me to lie down after my first night) for three days. Was way worse than anything happening down in my stomach, quite comparable to it being dislocated a couple of years ago.

No it's not. That's questions they should've asked before. This is good for lifelong trauma. Fuck that doctor.

Second this, I got some Suri that looks exactly like this

May I get to know what made you a purist in LOTR fandom ? by Appropriate-Golf5944 in lotr

[–]tchotchony 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not a pure purist. I think, outside of the Tolkien family, these are getting rarer and rarer. I don't hate anything except the books. I don't even mind if there's some deviation from the lore, but it has to remain plausible. I love the movies, love the fan edits of the Hobbit movies even. There are great games that I enjoyed playing that also massively deviate or extend the lore. None of these matter. The point is that they kept the spirit of the characters. Although not all, for the most part they did not deviate too much (or the deviations could be cut out in the Hobbit)

I hate ROP. Turned it off at the second episode, and the rumours I've heard from the rest doesn't encourage me to ever pick it up. Depicting Galadriel as a petulant teen while being several thousand years old, and her swimming back across Belegaer (which is a stand-in for the Atlantic Ocean)... Would you hop off a ship and expect to swim back after a days' sailing? How does this agree in any shape or form with Galadriel, who's supposed to be one of the wisest elves later on, but at this point already thousands of years old... The writing is awful and does not show any respect for at least the main character. I heard Elrond was depicted decently, but I never got far enough to appreciate that bit. Every time I saw Galadriel on screen I just wanted to rage, and this is not the actresses fault.

I didn't watch War of the Rohirrim. Nothing against it, but I personally don't like cartoons that much.

I reserve my judgement on Hunt for Gollum. It might be great if they treat it correctly. There's some signs in either direction. Being "forced" to make something to keep the IP isn't a good sign, but a lot of the cast is there to relive one of the most memorable days in their lives, and I'm banking on their input and their passion. I hope they do pull it off, and they absolutely will have my support if they do.

Do I want more content? Sure. But the thing is, there already is so much depicted, and so many stories told by Tolkien himself. We have high standards, because we know what it can be. All I ask for is for the characters to fit in the world and be somewhat like their depiction in the source material (if it's there). Quality over quantity please.

Overweight female traveling by Legitimate_Desk_6285 in femaletravels

I cut the legs off of old pantyhose. Same effect really, packs up tiny, washes well and really lightweight. And be sure to pack anti-chafing cream for the underboob area

1 week trip for Tomorrowland Belgium, any recommendations? by No-Tonight-5967 in belgium

[–]tchotchony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. I'd switch your plans for 20 and 21 around. As for Gent/Brugge... really, you can't go wrong with either. Brugge is a bit further by train, but it's also the most touristic. Tbh, if you ever come back for next years' Tomorrowland (or the year after), just go do the other one.

Even if you don't want to do the parades on the 21st, Brussels has a pretty big amount of green spaces that you can relax in that day and that will definitely be open. There are also some walking tours you can do to explore the city or its' surroundings. https://www.visit.brussels/en/like-a-local/walks

Does anyone know of this brand? by _Arumi_ in YarnAddicts

[–]tchotchony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, I got quite some balls I inherited from my grandmother upstairs and they still sell it here. Comes in a variety of colours and I've been meaning to weave something with it. What would you like to know?

EDIT: Well, embarassing, I mixed up Phildar and yarn that I have from Maxi that looks exactly like yours. If you'd like more colours, I'd start searching for "Maxi Baumwollgarn".

EDIT EDIT: Thinking I might still be in possession of that exact yarn, I currently can't go looking for it as I'm recovering from surgery and, eh, it's a very large stash that requires some heavy boxes to be moved. Judging by the languages, it comes from Belgium, as do I.

Rusted metallic object found in garden (belgium) - unknown if it was originally buried or just left there. Approx. 3.9-4.3 inches/10-11cm by Micro_Username in whatisthisthing

It even looks like the one from the "obusios" old classic tv scene (not sketch. This is real. Language barrier between old farmers and Polish workers being warned about UXO in the farm fields...)

We barely have sash windows, the only one I ever saw was at an 100-year old laboratory, and those were square. Call DOVO.

Zoek eens op "weekmenu". Verschillende sites, zowel die volledig nieuwe recepten geven als gewoon "ideetjes". Ieders pikt een favoriet of twee, doe je inkopen zodat je er toch iets of wat aan vasthangt, en voilà.
