I like to recommend the episode(s) on John McAfee when people first start Bastards. They’re wild and not nearly as dark/heavy as some episodes can be.

TerribleTortoise@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What knot(s) should I use to secure this?8·11 months agoIf you want to be able to trim off the ends, I suggest a double fisherman’s instead (aka the double overhand stopper) with both strands (hold them together while you tie and treat them as a single strand).

With either knot, after you trim, you can melt the ends of the elastic cord. It will “mushroom” a bit, which will also prevent the tips from creeping into the knot and coming loose.
TerribleTortoise@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What knot(s) should I use to secure this?7·11 months agoA flat overhand bend in the elastic cord is what I recommend: https://www.animatedknots.com/flat-overhand-bend-knot
Justification:
Simple, not bulky, reasonably secure against shaking loose, and relatively easy to untie.As suggested in another comment, a double figure eight could be used as well. It will be more bulky and a bit less likely to come loose.

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.
Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.
You are correct, I had not noticed they did away with that icon until you mentioned it now.

My point is that people portray a father taking a 4 year old to his death. I’m just pointing out that he wasn’t a child but an adult who chose to go on the trip.
