  • Who is your favorite cybernetic organism in Trek and why is it Samanthan Rutherford?

  • It's obviously me!

  • SAD light location and use for programmers?

  • We have one in our office that we put on a shelf above eye height when we're all working. It seems to be okay just kind of shining down on us. It's usually on the whole day but we're only in for a few hours at a time, we all have meetings and appointments with other people so pop in and out of the office.

  • Coziest jumper in the whole dang world

  • Both comments are showing for me! Thanks for that, the cable jumper I'm doing right now is a merino/acrylic blend and it's getting very heavy and thick so I'm getting a bit anxious about how wearable it'll be. I guess it's all learning.

    I hope you get many wonderful wears from your jumper and have a lovely Christmas

  • Coziest jumper in the whole dang world

  • This looks great! I've been tempted with chunky yarns for a jumper, however the next one in my queue is fingering weight so I'll have to wait a bit.

    Is the acrylic comfy to wear? Or does it get too hot?

  • They have a strong psychic connection

  • Mind the cows in the nebula Richard... I mean number 1

  • What controllable attributes do you find attractive?

  • There's some of the obvious ones like cleanliness and being kind to service people. I think dress sense is one to a degree as well, I don't mean being super curated but at least putting some effort in.

    One of the more boring ones I've picked up as I've aged is financial literacy and being good with money. I love a guy with a big spreadsheet.

    Hobbies is one for me too. Something people are interested in or passionate about gives them depth and character.

  • How did you learn to knit, and where do you continue to learn new techniques?

  • I did try to learn from my grandmother when I was a kid but it didn't stick. I don't think I had the manual dexterity, when I looked it up on YouTube as an adult I didn't have too much trouble with it.

    I had forgotten learning from my grandmother but I found some of my old notes and things at her house the other week that been stored away for the last 30 years or so.

    Now I learn from YouTube and certain books. How to knit socks that fit, jumper knitting handbook type stuff and the Japanese knitting stitch Bible.

    I started with crochet and moved onto knitting. Now I much prefer it and how versatile it is

    Speechless. Just speechless

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • I mean it does still jump out sometimes, depends how hard I pull!

    Just measured it and it's 7 inches across/diameter so fairly large yes

  • Holo-Novel: Legend (1985)

  • Oh my god it's true!

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • I've not rewound this yarn, I'm just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I'm terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.

    Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they're called) I'd need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • Thank you! Yes it's quite fun being all casual about doing something that looks complicated. I am pleased I can cable without a needle though and don't think this would be possible without that technique!

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • Thank you, that's really kind. It is a lot of cables lol and I was worried about handling it. To be honest though once you do a few repeats it's fairly easy to keep track of what's going on

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • Thank you very much! I practiced a fair bit before trying this pattern. You should give it a go!

  • WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover

  • Thank you! Hopefully I can do it justice when it's finished

  • Did someone say Gorn & Morn posting?

  • By Dr. Bashir! Amazing!

  • It's the horror movie season. What is your favorite horror movie genre, and what do you consider to be the absolute best example of that horror genre?

  • That looks hilarious, defintely going to check it out!

    I was always partial to Tucker and Dale vs Evil for horror comedy

  • What to do on a first date?

  • Yes these are fun suggestions, thank you. I really like the idea of go karts but not a lot of conversation involved, maybe a second or third time meeting for that one.

    I might go down the pier and go on the rides
