Does a whittling knife have to be specifically made?

Does a whittling knife have to be specifically made?

I was gifted a Leatherman Wave a long time ago and never really used it, since it’s a good quality knife is it ok for whittling? I have read through some posts and seen recommendations for cheap starter knives but would rather use something I have than buy new :) there’s four blades - two serrated, one sharp and one that looks like a tiny machete haha

Archeron Sisters

Feyre - Willa Fitzgerald (1-4)
Nesta - Yvonne Strahovski (5-8)
Elain - Gabriella Wilde (9-10)

After watching Serena in A Handmaid’s Tale, I could only see Nesta as her actress, and then I realised she looked really similar to Willa Fitzgerald (girl next door in Scream, bad bitch in Dare Me) and they might make great sisters.
Gabriella Wilde (Endless Love) is just unbelievably sweet and beautiful.

ELI5: Why do prisons allow “conjugal visits” and how do they work?

Is it the prisoner’s cell or a special room? Who has to clean it? How do they vet or approve who visits? Is it a right, or do prisoners have to earn this with good behaviour?

León to Potosí?

Is there a cheap but straightforward method of transport to do this journey? We want to take the boat from Potosí to La Union, but it’s quite pricy online, so thought we might save some money on public transport from Leon to Potosí?

Could someone ID this guy and give me an overview of preserving it?

Found in Lake Ometepe, Nicaragua, already dead. I’ve popped him in a little tin while I travel but is anything important to be done for preservation before I can get home and frame him?

This game got me through a really rough patch of life

The tattoo is still fresh hence the speckling! Once it heals it will be pristine

Advice or reassurance being away from cats in the heatwave

Hi cat-lovers, I’m looking for advice and guidance. I quit my job earlier this year due to MH concerns and I booked a trip abroad to last me a few months, with flexibility. My friend and his wife, a vet, assured and reassured me they would take my two cats in, as one of them is actually their cat they left with me when they went travelling last year!
Of course, with 5 days to go, they bailed. We asked everywhere, looked into catteries, considered cancelling or curtailing the trips. Eventually our next door neighbours offered to care for them between our place and theirs, so the kitties would be in their own space.
However with my anxiety, every time a heatwave alert pops up I go into stress overdrive. Am I being a really bad parent by leaving my cats with people who don’t know them as well as I do? How will they know to monitor how much they’re peeing or how do I get them to cover up the windows to prevent heat coming in? They are really lovely and doing this for free so I’m struggling to feel like I can be more firm in regards to how they care for the cats. I do have a pet cam, they check in by text, and I know my own brain is the problem here. Just wondering if I should cut my trip short and go home. I want to do the best for my boys, I would have been so much calmer if they had gone to the friend with the vet wife who knew one of the cats really well.

Bocas to Costa Rica backpacking?

All advice from fellow travellers has said we need proof of a ticket from Costa Rica outwards, in order to cross the border.
We have bus tickets for Liberia (CR) to Rivas (NIC) booked. I just tried to book a shuttle from Bocas over the border to Puerto Viejo with Caribe Travel. Their website states they will only accept a flight out of the country as proof. I WhatsApped them to confirm and they said not only that, but they require proof of travel all the way back to our home country?!

This leaves us in a tough spot as like most backpackers we wish to have flexibility with return dates and we’re hoping to make it to Mexico, but I don’t want to waste money by booking a flight we might not take.

Could someone please advise another service to get to Puerto Viejo from Bocas? I am happy to self drive if it comes to that.

Why are there so many people in this subreddit that aren’t actually ex-Muslim

I joined to see posts from people who have had similar experiences to me. I actually am an ex Muslim. I have my reasons for leaving. I’m looking to meet people to deconstruct the parts of my attitude and outlook that have stemmed from being raised Muslim.

Why the fuck do I come on here and see tons of posts from non Muslims criticising Islam? People just get chat gpt to quote cherry picked lined supporting their racist opinions. Make your own goddamn group. Leave those of us who’ve already been ostracised from our communities cos we didn’t work with the religion, to our own space. Yeah, we all agree Islam is a weird af religion, that’s why we left. I would never go back, but I don’t want to come on here looking for understanding and instead read people’s vitriol and anger and hatred when they’ve never even lived through it.

Does anyone know what the blue fish type character that liked grabbing gold actually was?

In terms of, is it a mythological or real reference to an established believed species that appears in literature, games, movies or tv?

I just think it's super cute and I associated a lot with elements of Zoe's story and I wanted to get it tattooed maybe, and I just want to check the references for appropriateness!

Crazy high pollen?

It’s my first summer in leeds and my hayfever has been unbearable, is anyone else really suffering this year particularly or is this normal for leeds? Stayed inside in this weather but the air is full of cotton tufts?

Where can I find something like this?

Hi all, done a lot of wardrobe cleansing after reading this space so I was looking for advice - I have been only buying new in sustainable materials but I haven’t been able to find anything like this photo (it’s polyester and elastane)

Is it better to buy this secondhand even though it’s polyester, or could anyone suggest a similar alternative? Preferably not too expensive!

Landlord Conference Leeds

Please can you all return from whence you came because the pub quizzes are all cancelled and the pub queues are streaming down the road and we don’t really like landlords much normally anyway
