I think I kinda had to figure it out sometime last millennium, but it's been a while. I borrowed a machine for something, so needed a better solution and it transferred.

This century I'd probably look it up online.

All I ever needed was a running stich with a few backstitches to start, or just a backstitch, anyway.

I keep getting surprised when I notice yet another co-cohort or older human. Not that one always can tell, but on previous social media I kept getting the impression that most of the folk I knew were a couple of decades younger.

@futurebird If it's infrastructure and I don't own it, then I don't want it.

I'm desperately trying to find a car charger that doesn't use an app for precisely that reason. I don't care if it's a company choosing to do it or just because something in the supply chain going belly up.
