That makes sense. I always feel like the people make the job what it is, and I just have a hard time reconciling how such horrific leadership can attract good people.

There's so much to unpack here. Did you work for a company run by a supervillain? And yet enjoyed the work?
Does gog usually get early access? Genuinely curious
I fully endorse this point, but with an added caveat. The government is made up of people, just like any other organization, but there is often less money to be had in the public sector than the private sector (corruption notwithstanding) so often you wind up with people passionate about their work, but occasionally you have people who aren't talented enough to hack it in the private sector.

Keep twitch for Bezos. We can call if "de-platforming"
I have definitely seen artsy, not-at-all rich people, dress similarly to this lady. Maybe they were secretly into human trafficking tho
What? Why? As in, why Tim Cook aka Tim Apple? I'm so confused, why are tech oligarchs getting CIA briefings? And this is normal?
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!
Interesting, what did you use them for?
I'm looking to build shelves beside my fireplace but need to trim my mantel width down to accomodate them.
I have access to a circular saw, a reciprocating saw and a jig saw. I could also get a router if needed.
This is from a diy website but they had this part done by a professional. I'm just curious how you would go about cutting this. What tools should I use?
Apologies for the crinkly right off the needles mess. These are a gift and don't fit me, and I don't own sock blockers (yet).
Vanilla Socks but I made the cuff go straight into the heel because the recipient likes ankle socks.
Vanilla Sock by Crazy Sock Lady on magic loop in Estelle Sock twin crazy ball. Was not a huge fan of the yarn, as it is pretty splitty and a little rough but you guys I did it! I made my first ever pair of socks! And the rusticness of the yarn helps hide my beginner mistakes lol
I'm the crocheter who asked where to start learning to knit a few days ago. I'm now working on my first project.
I'm making a hat! Currently on my 5th row and absolutely hooked (forgive the crochet pun).
What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.
I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.
Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?
Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!
I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.
My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!
Thanks again
Second ever bag, first time following a graph. Tons of fun. Now I have a bag to use for the next month and a half!
I really like the way the green turned out. I used scrap yarn so the white was actually a 3 instead of everything else which was a 4, and only have a 3.50 hook. Overall, still in love.

I know the colour is light... long story. I hope you can still tell what it is!
I made this as a gift, but long story short I don't have the right yarn colours or the right sized hook or the right eyes. So I improvised. Hoping it still reads as the animal I intended!
Ps. The recipient knows my current status and why I can't procure the correct yarn, etc. They'll still appreciate it I'm sure.

Someone on Lemmy told me that Dumas, because his work was published in serials, was paid by the word. I wonder if Hugo was the same.
