Tips for baking with arthritis and other hand-related chronic pain

With some changes to techniques, a careful selection of kitchen tools, and tips from fellow bakers, the joy of baking can live on.

I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.

thinking about fictional language subtleties again and the potential of like, having different pronouns for like different regenerations. like 12 to missy would be like “you” but 12 to simm would be like “You” and 12 to dhawan would be like “yOu” and the opportunities for little mistakes like 13 addressing dhawan with a “You” instead of a “you” as if she were talking to missy

“if the history between us means anything to You”

the master retaliating of course with maybe a different ‘us’ than 13 used idk i havent worked out usses yet

or 12 in 10x12 purposefully addressing simm in that final speech with a “you” instead of a “You”, pulling him into the present. “im talking to you now. our relationship is one that still exists here and now, it’s not past” stuff like that

So the other night during D&D, I had the sudden thoughts that:

1) Binary files are 1s and 0s

2) Knitting has knit stitches and purl stitches

You could represent binary data in knitting, as a pattern of knits and purls…

You can knit Doom.

However, after crunching some more numbers:

The compressed Doom installer binary is 2.93 MB. Assuming you are using sock weight yarn, with 7 stitches per inch, results in knitted doom being…

3322 square feet

Factoring it out…302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.

The funny thing about human beings is having such a clear, yet vague list of instructions of what you were meant to do. Okay, you are alive, and as a living thing you have the urge to perpetuate life. But there's no real pressure to have your own offspring, oh no. Some people have that urge, a pressing urge to personally breed that won't be satisfied any other way, but many can be happy without it.

Humans survive in colonies where each individual support each other, and if you're happy to just babysit your sister's kids every once in a while, you're fulfilling your duty to the clan and helping it survive, because human parents weren't meant to manage 100% alone. Whatever you can teach your niblings, you were meant to teach.

Look at your hands. Especially, look at your fingers. Every single one of them moves individually, to wherever you wish to place them. Nature does not put energy into things that aren't used or needed, you need to have ten digits to... Yes, what? A bear's paw is only one slab of meat and claws, designed to walk on and slap things to death. What do you have all these individual wigglers for?

You could hold a needle, and sew clothing. You could place them in different locations on a musical instrument. You can do that thing with your finger that makes the love of your life orgasm so hard they go blind for a few seconds. You could hold a brush and paint a picture of the land you call home, or write laws of a land that deserves to be called "home".

Your legs and feet, yes, they were made with only one task in mind. They were made for running. You were built to run. Many things in nature were built to run, really, but those things were made to run hard, and fast. You are not like them. You were built to run and never stop. Your run is slow, it is not agile, it is not even graceful, but it is unyielding. Nothing else on this planet is designed like that, and that is why your ancestors - and their loving aunts and uncles - survived through you, by being unstoppable.

If you look up any instruction manual online, on "how to survive an [animal] attack", it will tell you, do not run. You are not fast enough to escape them. You were not built to outrun things. You were built to chase things, and that is your key. Once you have chosen a target, death by you is inevitable.

Nature is no fairy godmother that hands out frivolous gifts. Nature is the hard-budget shift supervisor that gives you the exact tools - the only tools, but nothing but these tools - that you must use to survive. Your yearning for a community to provide for - a found family, if your biological one happened to be shit. Your hands, to make things with, and an abstract mind to create things to make. And an unstoppable determination to do things.

You were given nothing frivolous. Everything in your arsenal are tools that you not only can, but must use. Do your duty as a living thing.

sooooo can yall help me determine if this is a fireable offense

people will say "why cant the eldritch gods just be nice to humans :((" and then kill a bug for existing near them
