Good to know re CG. Havent tried them yet, but they do get good reviews. I had to return KnitPicks circs. Again, problematic cord-needle join.
The cords on Skacel arent my fave, but the joins are smooth & the needles come with a guarantee. That's what came to the rescue this time.
Yup. . . . Also stress on the human joints.
Have you seen this doc.? I had no idea.

"Amazon Data Services is acquiring โGeorge Washington University's Virginia Science and Technology campus for $427 โmillion, the university said on Monday, part of a rapid expansion of infrastructure to support artificial intelligence."
"Adjunct" appointments are a real problem.
"They need only recognize one basic fact: faculty members are workers, too. People who can be fired without due process, denied benefits or strung along on semester-to-semester contracts should not be carved out of legislation..."
No. Different brands. The bamboo was a pain to use anyway -- needles proportionately too long for the cord, and the little knob at the cord-needle join prevented smooth movemt of stitches. Other brand, it's the 2nd set that's done this. Wont buy circs. of either brand again.๐คฌ
2 different brands. 2 different kinds of crappy cord-to-needle joins. I did have a backup. But damn!
what the hell?! that's 2ce in less than a month! ๐คฌ ๐งถ

Donโt recall these members having concerns when their Democratic colleagues in other states were gerrymandered
Tomorrow is start of early voting for VA redistricting referendum
Donโt think will reach 2025 levels of early voting which had 33K first day
Probably get more than 2023 state elections first day of 12K
Expect lots of over analysis, but will give a sense of potential turnout

Weโre glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHSโ rampant violence.
But Noemโs firing doesnโt suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability โ itโs a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.
Other states? They gerrymandered their own state. That's how Virginia got stuck with Jen Kiggans instead of Elaine Luria.
Thanks for the reminder

@abigailspanberger.com please veto the casino bill! Residents do not want it. Delegates representing Tysonโs opposed it. Fairfax County Board of Supervisors opposes it. Localities shouldnโt have something like this forced on them.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
