The hell is a buttermilk bar? I am intrigued ๐Ÿ‘€

Fucking thank you. Men's libbers (and there's a loooooot of them on lemmy, as you can see in your downvotes) like to trot out the "men don't report because of stigma!" line, but it's like, my guy, women do too?? For every woman brave enough to report, there's anywhere from 5-10 that don't report at all due to fear/stigma.

Of course rape happens to men (mostly by other men) too. But, couple things:

  1. it's not a competition or dick measuring contest. Rape is bad, m'kay? Regardless of gender.
  2. it's disingenuous to say that it happens to men just as much, or more. It feels icky, like they're shoving themselves in a victimhood narrative where they don't belong.

How exactly did Dualit shit the bed? Aren't they still repairable and made in the UK? Sorry, I've been doing a lot of toaster research and have one in my cart literally right now, so it would be awesome to know if I missed something before paying $350 lol

Not everything Le Creuset. They seem to be very similar to other kitchen brands (kitchenaid, Cuisinart, etc) in that they make a few excellent products, but the rest of their line is overpriced stuff that isn't as good as other brands you could buy. Their Dutch ovens are good, for example, but not their French press so much.

That's as tough as beanie boy can make himself look, and he still looks like the pathetic weirdo who somehow always shows up whenever your friends pull out their bong. He looks like the guy who deals weed because that's the only way he can feel like he has friends. Sad-looking poser punk.

Bro I hardly see drivers look up from their phones while making turns these days, much less while stopping for pedestrians. It's way more common to see fellow drivers looking down instead of up, it seems like. Sometimes I like to honk to get their attention.

It was really depressing when I found that Pendleton, literally THE wool store, is mostly dealing in poly-wool blends now. That completely defeats the purpose of the wool?? A breathable fabric that stays warm when wet for winter, but can also keep you cool in summer? Yeah, let's just shove some plastic in there. Fucking capitalist brain-rot of these companies, man.

EDIT: I wanted to chime back in and correct myself. Good news everyone, Pendleton's clothes seem to be mostly all either wool or cotton again! I don't know what was going on when I looked like a year ago, but they seem to have fixed their fuckery. I've never been happier to be wrong.

Unfortunately there is a real need for these. There's a reason it's like the only bassinet that has an FDA approval rating, as well as why many NICU wards have them for preemies. We literally would not have been able to sleep without it when we had our son, he wouldn't sleep without being either on us or in the SNOO.

We were luckily able to rent one for less total cost than buying one, but for many families I'd imagine the second hand market is the only way they'd be able to afford one. That to me is what makes this introduction of a subscription service even more awful.

That baby is gonna be dope as hell

It is possible to replace them, with a little research. Or just taking them to a phone repair shop if you're too anxious for that

This is great info, thank you so much! That definitely gives me more things to consider

Damn, that really sucks, I'm sorry :(

 

The pattern is this one! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-bear-hat-8

I made some adjustments, like starting with 8 rows of ribbing, then doing two kfb increases in row 9, before doing the rest of the pattern as described. I also picked up 10 stitches instead of 8 for the the ears, because of personal preference.

I was able to finish it in one evening, and I'm thinking of making another for his cousin that will be born just two months after him :)
