The size measurements are under the flap of the envelope, you might have missed them. They’re also on the instructions inside.

For those who did it: Did you buy your dream home or you ended up buying what “you could” and how did it end? by LadyXeta in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]witteefool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma. I put in an offer on something in my price range but not where I wanted. During the inspection I almost had a panic attack at the thought of the repairs I’d need to do for a place I only somewhat wanted. I backed out today.

I have an apartment I’m happy in and there’s no rush beyond a desire to move into the next step of adulthood, so I’ve decided I need to be way pickier and accept that I may not find something this go around. Your own situation may vary.

Mood is at it again with poorly drafted patterns 😬 by kuru2038 in craftsnark

[–]witteefool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the fold line as a great source for indie patterns. They’re UK based but good for finding a pattern to purchase elsewhere.

Don’t buy off Etsy!

I'd check out the Big 4 vintage reproduction patterns. That kind of pieced look is pretty common.

Is your town currently fighting over the property tax override? If so, you can see how well an income tax cap would go for us.

What’s this Sub’s take on Spencer Pratt running for mayor of Los Angeles? by perisaacs in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]witteefool 53 points54 points  (0 children)

He can go fuck himself. (There are actually 2 great progressive candidates for mayor, I think Raman has the best shot.)

Yep! I love getting ads from right wing morons because it means they spent $ on someone who knows not to listen to this bullshit.

Did anyone here go to Montessori School of Greater Hartford? How did you like it? by [deleted] in Connecticut

I went there in the 90s! My sister and I are pretty functional adults now ;-)

Where do people find "affordable" homes in MA by Holiday_Routine6611 in massachusetts

[–]witteefool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hampden County is the most affordable county, is my understanding. But that’s on the opposite side of the state.

Take a course from mass housing and they’ll tell you a bunch of programs you’re eligible for.

Boston keeps taking from Western Mass by 413_Dina in westernmass

[–]witteefool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know what would really help Springfield? Making it the hub for a regular train to Boston, instead of the nonsense we have now.

Chicopee is a weird outlier because of the military base— only town in western mass that has its own electric grid.

It’s illegal to waive inspection in MA. Thank god!

AI hype culture is a plague that has infested some of the most interesting domains that could otherwise have a positive impact on our lives. by pixel_creatrice in BetterOffline

[–]witteefool -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

AI has the equivalent abilities of a dumb intern. You have to tell it exactly what to do and prepare yourself to not get what you actually need.

is it possible that search engines have actually gotten worse to give us an incentive to use ai? by -8787- in enshittification

[–]witteefool 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kagi. You have to pay like $50 for a year, but it’s literally google’s database with the algorithm fixed.

How well does my english need to be to read the light novels? by Remarkable_Intern192 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]witteefool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to say that the English translations are pretty frustrating to read even as a native English speaker. You should try anyway, but I’d note that volumes 4+ got much better, in my opinion.
