    @Ilaeria Doesn’t matter. It’s splitting hairs at that point. Your own individual tension would make much more of a difference. I’d go with whichever I grabbed first. 😂


    @The_Ausmerican I dunno; not having every single Aussie cab driver say, “Ha, Trump, amirite?” five seconds after I get into a taxi will be a welcome change.


    @thebeebs Writing my abstract about WAP sites and markup as we speak. (Bonus – it’s gonna bring lots of search engine traffic to your conference site.) 😂


    @jesslynnrose I’ve been obsessed with the Harry Potter Puzzles & Spells puzzle game. I don’t like supporting JKR anymore, but it’s a well done game and I get enough daily play/enjoyment out of it without giving it or her a cent. I’m in a team so it even feels vaguely social.


    @thebeebs Well, my other proposal was a L400 talk on using tables for layout, but I think that technically does still exist. The upside there is you’d get a lot of CSS geeks getting huffy and ranting about it – more free publicity! 😀


    @jesslynnrose My other thing is I’ve actually been streaming knitting on Twitch, and through that I’ve connected with a bunch of crafters around the world. The other day I watched a guy forging a set of armor. I’m enjoying that.


    @jesslynnrose It is, right up until a circular needle tip breaks off or your yarn falls apart or you realise you made a massive mistake, all of which have happened to me so far on stream. 😂


    @justasitsounds @thebeebs Naming your spacers “s.gif” because it saved so many characters… Good times.

    @094459 Ooh. I literally said to @the_snook today that I wouldn’t mind an oven with wifi, now that I’ve discovered bake at home German bread. I could put them in the oven at night and trigger before I get out of bed in the morning!

    @MichelePlayfair @MoominOfficial I’m aware of it but haven’t gotten any yet! ❤️


    Hm. I don’t think I’ve relented on any of my Personal Knitting Bans, but do let me know if you spot me knitting shawls (whether of the speckled vomit “Find your fade” variety or not), twee cardigans, or “graffiti knitting” to stick on a tree. #bahhumbug 🧶 https://t.co/GC1RnaFrw8


    @lizthegrey Yowza. We only lasted about 2 weeks in an AirBnb when we got to Germany before jumping at a rental with separate offices with DOORS. Four months… would’ve been very challenging for us! 😂

    “Shake me up, Judy!” We finished the 2005 BBC Bleak House. It was *nothing* like Bridgerton, so that recommendation was nonsense. And for the record, I’d have married Wedge Antilles in a heartbeat. ❤️

    @tcn33 Not for knitting yarn. There are definitely tools for doing it with stranded cotton and tapestry wool, which are used for embroidery. It’s because those are standardised, but knitting yarn colours tend to change more frequently with fashion.


    @tcn33 It’s also difficult to eyeball knitting yarn on computer. Your best bet is to take a printed colour sample into a yarn store and manually look. You can also ask to go through any sample books, which often have little knitted swatches in them.


    Time for some glorious fairisle knitting! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/ve37jbM7ct


    @randomknits JESUS. I just opened Tweetdeck and it looked like you’d been flayed.


    @tcn33 Well, even if they could, a given yarn range might have, what, 3-4 different reds (or blues or greens, etc) at most? Even with the embroidery threads, it’s never an *exact* match. Only way to get it exact is to dye it yourself. 🙂


    @tcn33 That would be an interesting service for some dyer to offer, actually…. Maybe you could commission one of them to do it?


    @tcn33 Now that you’ve got me curious… the most used wool on Ravelry is Cascade 2020, which comes in around 190 colours: https://t.co/AGLLzPokEv. That’s the biggest range I’ve seen, and certainly more than any Aussie producer.


    @tcn33 I can’t find anyone who’s mapped them to hex or Pantone colours though….


    There’s nothing like telling the livestream over and over for an hour to pay attention and check each row for errors (TDD!) only to discover that you got distracted and made an error on the previous row and have to spend 30 minutes tinking and reknitting. 😐

    @goldfishgeorge It’s very pretty though!!


    Watching Independence Day auf Deutsch, for the first time in forever, and just realised that one of the crashed alien spaceships lands right on Sydney’s Eastern suburbs. “And nothing of value was lost,” snarks the Snook. 😂 https://t.co/2ioX0iRvqu


    I saw the 2005 BBC “Bleak House” adaptation on a list of “If you liked Bridgerton we recommend this…” but I’m halfway through and there’s been no nudity and no doing it. It’s just Wedge Antilles pining, Tywin Lannister being evil, and Johnny Vegas spontaneously combusting. 🤨


    @Baba_Lilith Well, I actually am enjoying it, but it really doesn’t have anything in common with Bridgerton other than being a period costume piece.

    @hannahcancode Interesting Google search there, HANNAH. 😉


    @friendlyunit @MelissaKaulfuss I always found it weird that Aussies often give “average” a negative connotation. “How was it? Pretty average” = bad. But to my American ears, average is actually pretty good!


    @TheresaNeate I always, always recommend @LookaheadSearch for tech and tech leadership roles in Australia. They’re the best. ❤️

    @yaghmoer I don’t crochet.


    @CatSwetel Yep. And it also makes me feel just a little prouder to actually be a female tech leader and manager. I knew I was a unicorn, but didn’t realise so many of my peers had never had one.


    @jennapederson YES, death to Todo apps! Here’s a left-field one – I’d love to see a demo building the “Dress Me” app from Clueless. 😂👗 I saw a conf talk that @hannahcancode did that used it a few years back and thought it was GENIUS!
