Endearingly Neurotic

99% of the time, you don't need a blocking board or pins unless you're doing lace. just get the thing wet to relax the stitches and the fiber (especially wool), squeeze out the excess liquid (no twisting/wringing) and then lay it flat. that's it.

the whole fabric will relax (probably more than you are expecting it to), your stitches will look cleaner, and the tension throughout the project will even itself out.

I mean, not necessarily. There are color palettes and techniques that look fantastic on a flat screen, but horrid on CRT.

Like, look at this kitty:

Looks great here, but with a CRT filter? Completely obliterated.

Pixel art that wasn't designed to look good on a CRT doesn't always look better on CRT.

He has to be built with a completely different approach:

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

"It would have been easier if you'd just said yes."

Most mammals have, compared to humans, an elongated jaw. So a little tiny bump of a mammary gland is fine, just enough to get the nostrils away from the teat, and the young can freely breathe while nursing. However, as humans started using fire more and more to cook food - which softened it up, rendering powerful jaws less necessary - their jaws began to shorten, resulting in the development of the chin and other unique facial structures as the face flattened out.

This, of course, meant that babies could suffocate while nursing, which would obviously be bad. But what if... what if nipple further from chest? Bigger bump, so baby's nose have spot to go that isn't directly into mommy's chest? Oh, turns out that works! Of course, as more and more fat stores become dedicated to growing that breast mound to keep baby from suffocating, it becomes harder and harder for the mother to reabsorb that tissue when not nursing (as many other mammals do), so they just... don't. Knockon effects from there, and bam. Tiddies.
