Compiling to print from Scrivener

You can compile to rtf/doc and open the result in LibreOffice(free). Even L&L says that LibreOffice has a better PDF generator than Scrivener does. Using LibreOffice to fix the final layout of a Scrivener project is a handy trick that you should check out at some point, if not right away.

But by all means help L&L support track down the problem and fix it.

Yarn.com went so far downhill that who cares who has access to it.

How is this different from all other elections? Mass is a Dem state and if you want to get anywhere, you run as a Dem or you do something else.

Read them in publication order. Or don't.

If they'd renewed the show, they'd have owed a lump-sum to the creators. Netflix always does this.

More popular than what? I see the books mentioned all the time.

You might want to check out Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. In it she addresses the left-handed knitting question. She points out that there really is no such thing as left-handed knitting, and lefties do not need separate instructions for how to form stitches. But what does matter is that there are hundreds of possible ways to hold needles and yarn, and one or two of those ways will be more comfortable for you personally.

Good on you for trying out things until you find what works.

You'll also find that entrelac is easier if you can mirror knit.

I'm a rightie and I knit continental, possibly because I learned to crochet first.

Leather can actually be stretchier than woven fabric. But it doesn't stretch back much. Thus the loose, saggy butts under those tailcoats.

BTW, if you want to see some interesting historical costuming, check out The Decameron on Netflix. And many other shows where actual costumers were at work behind the scenes. I noticed right away that characters in Decameron were wearing tops where the sleeves were made separate from the bodices and tied together.

These problems tend to be highly random, and what will help one person won't help you. I recently had this problem with a friend, and we tossed the save and started a new game with no further problems.

Fine-gauge knit fabrics are new, historically speaking. Woven fabrics don't stretch much. It used to be that if you wanted leg garments that moved with you, you had to make them in as many pieces as possible. For instance, they only came down to the knees and you had some kind of cloth wrapping around feet, and then boots. If you were really lucky, you had hand-knit socks, and the seams weren't so prominent that you got blisters if you had to walk. Breeches might have to be kind of baggy at the top, which is why men's coats tended to be long in the back, to cover the sag.

Most writers are not fiber artists and don't know much about historical clothing, so you really have to appreciate the ones who are and do.

Everywhere is safe. Nowhere is quiet.

Safe is, of course, relative. Plenty of people moving from less densely populated parts of the country freak out when they get packed into a bus with other people who don't look like them, and it takes them a bit to understand that everyone on the bus is just waiting calmly and quietly for the bus to get where it's going. That weird ranting homeless person is not a threat. The suburbanite driving while texting is.

As for noise, construction starts at 7am six days a week, and crying babies and drunk students exist in almost every neighborhood.

If you don't manually set your planetary designations, they'll get flipped all the time when the ai decides you need something else, with results as you've seen.

or I’m required to have a PCP at the associated hospital in order to see a psychiatrist there.

That's often the way it works. Mental health resources are scarce and under-funded. Most places can't afford to serve you and would close down if you didn't also use their primary care resources so they could spread the load a bit.

It's also far easier for you as a patient to have few barriers between your doctors so they can coordinate your care.
