Thank you. šŸ˜Š

I honestly havenā€™t checked in a number of years. I know Finke hadnā€™t found the mechanism yet in 2017 when I was helping him in the lab and he passed away a couple years ago. You can read a short article about him here: thetacomaledger.com/2015/10/12/p...

I think I saw, at least, the abstract for that. And youā€™re right PFAS are not small molecules. Itā€™s a wonder why they canā€™t get a usable medication for this issue, when so many unsavory things cross that barrier.

Why didnā€™t I notice that Siri thought I said bottle, not ball? Oy! I really wish speech to text worked properly, since itā€™s an accessibility feature for me. Jesus wept, Apple!

I was just responding to your definitive statement to bring up that they werenā€™t just funding amyloid research, but also research re: crossing the blood brain barrier, which is independent of amyloid research. If amyloid reducers work if they have access, thatā€™s a whole other bottle of wax.

Iā€™m super curious about your platform. I sent an application of interest. Iā€™m curious, if Iā€™m approved, do I send you things to list? Is there an approval process of each item? Is there a set price or can I set my own? So many questions.

Yes, trying to cross the blood brain barrier. Whereā€™s the disconnect?
comment in response to post
Thatā€™s not true. John Finke (rip) got regular funding and was following a different approach. I donā€™t know who took over his research at UW, or if theyā€™re following his lead.

Right? I kinda like it.

It wonā€™t. Itā€™s wonky because the stitches are tighter at the top than they are at the bottom. Blocking will not fix that. But Iā€™m fine with it being trapezoid shaped. At least it got tighter consistently. lol.

Plastic is crossing the blood brain barrier, but Alzheimerā€™s medications are still struggling?

Lmao. Right? I just want people to see my crafts. Oh, and teach me their language. My brother went to China with me speaking more Mandarin than him and he came back almost fluent 3 years later. I gotta catch up.

More housekeeping: Do not speak about politics, religion, or badmouth the Chinese on Red Note. Remember this is their house, you are a guest, act like one.

Someone else wanted to make bunches and bunches, so in another comment I added the math in if you want to get the math there. This pattern is actually locked behind a paywall, and I donā€™t know how much loyalty there is for that. I figured the math out by myself, so thatā€™s why Iā€™m sharing it.

Arenā€™t they cute? I was going to do the math for someone else, but it sounds like you want to do a bunch. So hereā€™s the math: F/2 / 1.4142 = granny square width F= foot length Mine: 9.5ā€/2 = 4.75ā€/1.4142 = 3.359ā€ Granny squares 3 3/8ā€ - 3.5ā€ wide Happy stitching!

It took 2 days to make these. But one if you dedicate a day to it. If you let me know your foot length, I can do the math so youā€™ll at least know what size square you need. Thatā€™s the only part missing on the Pinterest posts. Itā€™s something I had to work out myself.

Gotta remember to try this on my new slippers. Itā€™s cheap yarn (mandala cake) that I bought for punch needle. Never intended to make anything wearable with it. I just needed an economical source for many colors. Works great for that. Not for slippers. So itchy.
comment in response to post
What makes them even uglier is the fact that I was using harsh light. Lol. But yeah theyā€™re pretty comfy.
comment in response to post
Look @toomuchlavender.bsky.social I made a single slipper! Lol. Iā€™ll make the other one tomorrow. Iā€™m calling them my fugly granny square slippers.

I just need to reinforce the stress points and make 7 more squares and assemble the 2nd one. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø I love unplanned projects that turn into wishlist projects. I kinda do this to myself sometimes. Teehee. šŸ¤­

That works. I like it.
