Help! My pan tastes like soap! - sh.itjust.works
Admittedly, this isn’t the only item that tastes like soap if it’s been washed
with it; one of my plastic bottles will taste horrendously of soap if I use our
dish soap on it. I’m not sure if it’s the brand of dish soap or what’s going on,
but I’ve noticed over the past couple months that the cast iron pan is getting
the same flavor. It’s a small pan for eggs and this morning I was physically
unable to eat them because I kept gagging, the smell/taste of sopa on the pan
was that strong. It’s not the first time this happens and it’s horrendous.
Sometimes I can smell it as it heats up so I have to rinse it a ton and that can
help but doesnt always fix it completely. It gets rinsed really well right after
washing. I’m also not the only one that cleans the pan but I think it’s an issue
with the dish soap, not the cleaning method. For now I’ve rinsed it a bunch of
times in the hopes that the flavor won’t be there next time I use it and won’t
be washing with soap. Any suggestions for a dish soap that won’t impart
fragrances onto cast iron (or reusable plastic water bottles)? Or any other tips
for how to get rid of this scent on the pan and prevent it in the future. I’m
happy to just clean with water and vinegar or something else, but I can’t take
another bite of soapy eggs 😭
Jk my friend’s mom actually would love it so I guess I’ll pick it back up and finish it. I’ll post the results whenever that happens, I have another couple WIPs to finish first

Saying goodbye to multiple hours of work before frogging it all - sh.itjust.works
This is my progress on the Pierre Shawl (ravelry link
[https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pierre-3]). I’m posting this to say
goodbye to it and gain the strength to unravel the many many hours of work it
took me to get here. I got all the way to section 8 of 10 on this, and it is by
far the largest and most involved piece I’ve ever attempted to knit. I started
this knit around 3 or 4 years ago as a gift for my (now ex) mother-in-law. After
a couple weeks’ worth of hard work, I had to put it on hold and never really
picked it back up, mainly due to my dissatisfaction with the colors I picked not
making as smooth a gradient as I wanted. Now that I no longer have ties to the
person I originally knit it for, and because I neither wear shawls nor things in
these colors, it is a bit useless to keep the project indefinitely on hold. The
yarn is some of the nicest in my collection (Berocco DK vintage) and these are
also the only pair of circulars I own at the moment. I know it makes more sense
to bite the bullet and unravel it all so I can make use of the materials
elsewhere, but I’m struggling to do so because I’m so proud of what I created
and know I’ll never see it finished. So I figured I’d share it here! This
project taught me a lot about what I’m able to learn and do as a knitter and I’m
looking forward to taking the skills I learned from this project to make new
things now that I’ve picked up knitting again (I tend to go on long hiatuses
from my fiber arts hobbies and I’m back on a crocheting and knitting kick).
Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes

Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes - sh.itjust.works
I just started interning and it’s my first office job (Yay!) but most of the
clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially
shoes. I have no “appropriate” shoes because shoes have always been a particular
source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have
to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are
tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus. Do you guys have any advice on how
to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe
solid clean white sneakers? For reference I’m female.
unable to view my posts - sh.itjust.works
I’m unable to see the lists of posts I’ve made on desktop, mobile, and any of
the mobile clients I’ve used. This goes for my accounts on both sh.itjust.works
and Lemmy.world. I like seeing how my posts are doing or going back to read
comments on there even if they’ve been marked as read. Could it be that it’s not
showing my posts because they’ve been marked as read and I’ve got settings to
hide read posts? If so, seeing my own posts should be exempt from this setting.
Nemmy looks great! - sh.itjust.works
While 90% of the time I browse Lemmy on my phone, I was really wanting to browse
on desktop and was not liking the default lemmy-ui web app. Searching a bit I
found a few options on https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
[https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/] and nemmy has been my favorite-looking UI so
far. It’s the only one I’ve seen that has large post images (so that I don’t
need an extra click just to see what the post is about), with a UI that looks
nice on desktop and doesn’t look like a “mobile-first-desktop-never” web app.
Unfortunately, I see no way to change instances to log in, but I’ll be keeping
up with the project and probably switch over to Nemmy once the features come in!
Thanks for building what I consider to be the best-looking desktop Lemmy web app
so far.

just saying hi as a recent divorcee due to being childfree - sh.itjust.works
TL;DR at the bottom. I (24f) am going through the legal elements of a divorce
but have been separated for a few months now. I loved my ex husband, but before
marrying I made it clear I didn’t want kids and didn’t want him to wait or hope
for me to change my mind. He agreed and told me he would be happy with me even
if I never wanted kids. Just under a year ago he sat me down and told me he had
been realizing more and more that he changed his mind and thinks he does want
kids. I asked how long this had been happening, he said about a year. I already
knew where this was headed, but thought I owed it to us to at least try. Months
of therapy and thinking and talking and waiting for him to come to the same
conclusion I had brought up to him and accepted pretty early on and we finally
decided mutually that we would have to divorce. I didn’t want him to stay with
me and risk having any resentment towards me and feel unfulfilled, and I dont
want kids. I don’t know if I’ll want them in the future, I don’t think I will,
but he wanted them ASAP so it was irrelevant anyways. At least the
separation/divorce has been amicable, but it was (and sometimes still is)
incredible difficult emotionally. I’m grateful that his family didn’t guilt me
when they learned of the reason for the divorce, though the reason he gave for
me being childfree was medical reasons which is only kind of true. Still, at
least I didn’t get any flak for it from anybody. The guy I’m talking to now is
vehemently childfree and it’s great being able to freely make faces about or
feel annoyed by children, not want to go to baby showers or baby birthday
parties, and all other things that I used to feel alone in with my ex husband
(and made me wonder for a while if he was truly childfree like me). Not to say
you have to dislike children to be childfree, but I would often get a weird look
about my attitude and discomfort around children. I was never active on the
subreddit but I’m making more of an effort to be active in the communities on
Lemmy, so I guess hi everyone! How are you? Anybody here with a similar story?
TL;DR My husband changed his mind and I didn’t so now I’m a 24 year old divorcée
introducing myself and my story being childfree :)
