Wire bouncing back into shape after bending

I'n trying wire wrapping again and I'm struggling with the same problem I had last time. When I try to bend my wire into a circle it just bounces back and doesn't form a full circle. Is this due to poor quality wire? I'm using silver plated 1mm wire which probably isn't the best. It feels like I have to overbend it to get it to bend the way I need it to and actually stay that way.

What is the soup lore?

I started watching the Frostpunk 2 stream but I was confused about the soup thing so I just figured I should watch the first Frostpunk stream to catch the soup lore but soup and soup st*re are mentioned immediately without any explanation. Is this just a random haha funny thing or is there a video or something that started the soup thing?

Silver vip seating?

The vip packages include "one of the best seats near the front" but when you buy the ticket do you pick your seat from a section or is it automatically assigned to you? And I saw that the meet and greet tickets get sold out fast but is it the same with the silver vip or is it less of a rush for silver? Also is the merch bundle the same for both?

Social anxiety and vip tickets

I'm not sure which tickets I should buy. I have social anxiety (+ AuDHD) and I'm afraid the meet and greet would ruin the show for me because I would be dreading the meet and greet even though I'd love to meet them. I'm not sure what the pre show is like, the TIT preshow was a q&a I think?

​

My main issue is that I want to enjoy the show and while I'd like to get the full experience I'm afraid it'd be too stressful. I feel conflicted because on one hand they're my favorite youtubers and I'd love to meet them but I feel like it might be hard for me to relax... I'm really overwhelmed rn sorry if this doesn't make sense 😭

Looking for fidget tools to avoid picking nails and hangnails

I'm looking for a fidget tool to replace my habit of picking my nails and hangnails. I'm aware of picky pads and I think those could be nice but what I'm looking for is something that I could use on the go. I try to replace my harmful stims by keeping my hands active with crochet, crosswords and games but those are not very accessible. For example in social situations or gatherings I need something small that I can fidget with one hand without focusing on it too much. Also something "socially acceptable" because one of the biggest reasons why I pick my nails is not having anything else that would feel natural to me if that makes sense. I would just feel uncomfortable using a clicky fidget or anything that makes sound and is bigger than my palm because I'd be so hyperaware of the sound.

​

So basically something:

• small

• easy to take along (a keychain perhaps?)

• can be used with one hand

• no sounds, discreet and subtle

• something that could actually replace nail picking, so very low effort and easy to use

• passive stimming (not the main focus, something on the side)

How to find songs similar to (insert song title)

I see a lot of posts asking for songs like (insert song here) and I just wanted to remind everyone that Spotify and probably other music apps have lots of playlists for that! If you search "songs like (insert song title)" there's usually a playlist for most songs so make sure to check that first! Just a friendly reminder :) (hopefully this type of post is allowed, mods feel free to delete if not)

Looking for loose summer pants to avoid sensory issues

I'm plussize and I really need some summer pants. My biggest issue with clothing is waistbands and snug fits in general because it makes me feel like I'm choking and gives me anxiety. I had to cut the waistband of my shorts and my culottes which are now my favorite pants but before they were way too suffocating.

Basically my problem is that I only have one pair of pants for summer and I need to find some capris, culottes or shorts that fit curvy plussized women without suffocating. Shorts tend to ride up so most preferably longer shorts. I'd love to find a reliable clothing brand for comfortable clothing that's not too expensive. Also some materials might be better because the culottes are pretty light fabric while my old denim shorts were very thick and not stretchy at all so it was vey restricting.

I was thinking about Snag Tights because I have some of their chub rub shorts which are comfortable but I'm not sure if the clothing is good.

Possible heat rash on forehead, how to treat the itchiness?

Hopefully someone can help me, my forehead started itching a couple days ago especially near the hairline and eyebrows and it's a bit bumpy but it's not noticeably red. For some reason it feels more moisturized compared to the rest of my face. Or kind of like a hand after you put hand cream on it. I've been really confused about it and I kept thinking I developed some allergies because I haven't really experienced allergies before but I googled forehead rash and one of the options was heat rash and I'm wondering if that could be it? It's currently my 3rd week on the full dose of prozac, 6th week in total and I've experienced excessive sweating + I have other medication that can add to the heat intolerance. Has anyone dealt with prozac related heat rash and how did you treat it?

This subreddit has a serious dropshipping issue.

Pretty much half of the posts now are dropshipped products that are obvious attempts to sell their products. The guitars, the owls, the octopuses. If you image reverse search it you'll see that a bunch of different people are selling these items that look identical to one another. Some of the posts aren't even wire wrapping! These accounts are usually less than a week old and they've done over dozens of posts on several subreddits. I used to love scrolling this subreddit but now it's just slop hiding the artwork. Can the moderation please do something about this? The worst part is that usually none of the comments realize what's going on and those posts will get hundreds of upvotes.

Please make your post titles as descriptive as possible!

I'm new on Prozac and it's been really difficult trying to search for advice and experiences here because a lot of the posts are just titled: "Help", "Day 5", "Prozac (insert dose here)", "Starting Prozac", etc. For example when I was searching for fatigue and weakness symptoms most of the post titles were the aforementioned while the fatigue only gets mentioned in the text. I'm not trying to be rude or anything and I really hope this doesn't come off that way but I feel like this subreddit could work a lot better for both those trying to help and those looking for information if the post titles were more descriptive so helpers could determine if they can help and it would be easier for people looking for information to find the relevant posts. Again not criticizing anyone specifically or trying to be mean, just a suggestion. :)

How to block a bigger piece, in this case a vest with one panel

I'm making this rose vest by DROPS and I'm working on the squares now with the vest ready. I figured it would be best to block the vest and the squares separately before sewing but I'm not sure how to block the vest. The vest fits me great so I'm only blocking to loosen some of the stitches because it's a bit uneven in some places, especially in the collar. There's a diagram of the vest at the bottom of the pattern and it's basically a rectangle that covers the back with a circle around it that creates the collar, front part and armholes. Should I just spray it damp and lay it flat in that shape? Or should I put it on a hanger and spray it on that? I've always been kind of confused about blocking bigger pieces that aren't one dimensional.
