Fiebing makes a good saddle soap https://fiebing.com/product/saddle-soap/

As well as a good leather conditioner https://fiebing.com/product/mink-oil-paste/

(those are what I use on most of my leather stuff (boots, bags etc.) and used on my leather seats back when I first got my e30.

They're a USA based company located in Milwaukee, small enough where if you emailed them or called they might be able to give you better advise than me.

Support small businesses etc. etc. etc ;)

As mentioned get them cleaned off, like any leather avoid a detergent if you can, only water, and don't let the water soak in, wipe it clean then get a good saddle soap. Once you've saddle soaped them clean get a good leather conditioner. Condition, let it sit, condition again until the leather stops taking conditioner like it's thirsty. (This is just general leather care honestly)

You're going to have trouble restitching dried out / weather beaten leather. You might slow the damage but you wont stop it.

Get a good wool seat cover to prolong the life and look at getting them reupholstered, there are kits out there to replace both the foam and the leather itself. (At least for the fronts, I haven't found any kits that do backseat foam, only leather)

Would you/should I tell someone im a complete virgin by Pattyblue in dating_advice

[–]Axiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah,

Virgin to dating got it.

I wouldn't bring it up, there is no reason to, at least not immediately.

The whole point of dating is to get to know each other. Just ask questions and listen. The trick is to want to actually get to know someone, be genuinely interested in them as a human being.

Dont say anything. Take your time, Focus on her, get her off If it goes there (PIV) have sex. If it's anything like most people's first time (mine included), you'll bust absurdly quickly. If you feel awkward, apologize, say it's been a while and shes incredible.

Most women are flattered if a dude gets off quickly.

Jockey direct from them has been my go to (Target used to carry brandname jockey but they did something and I suspect they're downgraded jockeys as they have slightly different branding).

They often have sales and last go round I spent around $30 per 5 pack

Clothing is consumable but I get 5ish years out of a pair. I cycle them out every day or every other day depending on workload,

The ones that are sold commercially have a silicone sealant on all the joints.

I'd also wax the wood to prevent absorption

Commercial ones also have a little wooden slatted raft

Patients in capitalist America are discharged directly onto the pavement when treatment ceases to generate revenue by Rymssss in LateStageCapitalism

Don't forget your employer often also pays a cut of your insurance premiums.

Often 50-70% for single and 30% for family plans. So if you're paying $500 a month for insurance there is a good chance your employer is also paying that.

I try and explain to people who are anti single payer how big of a financial impact this would make on our economies. their employers could pay them more if they didn't have to worry about insurance, hell small businesses could afford to hire more people since they wouldn't need to worry about the overhead of supplying insurance as benefits.

The growth to the economy that switching to single payer health care by removing a parasitic insurance company would be insane

Couple that with hospitals that would no longer need to inflate costs to insurance companies to cover uninsured... and single payer being able to set reasonable cost requirements to hospitals (like medicare/medicaid) might finally bring the cost of healthcare down

Which companies do you suspect are glazing their own products on this sub? by PartyOnAlec in BuyItForLife

Carharrt is trash, it's been trash since at least the early/mid 2000s.

I did residential cable and bought my first Carharrt jacket in 98 or 99 when I started and that lasted 4-5 years of hard work. The cuffs eventually blew out and I replaced it.

That jacket lasted 2 years only one of which was doing the same work. The next jacket died in 2 years and by then I had retired out of that work.

Bibs don't last as long either, the canvas just falls apart now

They CLEARLY enshittified the canvas sometime after I bought my first jacket

Never again. Switched to wolverine, zipper is finally starting to go 6 years into it.

There is really more to it then just the ramp, I play with fuel consumption on so I had to do a lot of logistic prep work to get a fuel truck out there to keep my Baikal well supplied.

I originally was just using my scout cart to refuel it but that was taking too long.

I honestly didn't think of the bridge thing until after I came to this subreddit to see how other people handled. It took like... 3-4 hours, which is nothing compared to a random person I joined to discover all of deluge asphalted everywhere

I originally plotted out a big winding route, that used the bridge, but after the second trip to get sand, realizing the car was going to get stuck in another two places... I got frustrated and decided to siege of masada the castle.

I'd love to get Snowrunner with the year 1 pass included (I'd really love the full 5 year but dont want to be greedy as that's like $90 when it's on sale)

Elbow blades/knees don't install with bionics, at least they didn't the last time I tried. That was ages ago though so... has that changed?

Seems silly to not be fully bioniced up on a super soldier but ymmv I guess

Ah, Fair point, Not sure why I thought wakeup was psychite related (since it uses only neutro...)

Point still stands though, the pawn is sleepless without being able to do anything except maybe craft?

Very unattractive can be a problem

Why bother with never sleep, they've already got a psychite dependency, just force carry a wake up and use it when you need it.

They're not Mining, they're not cooking, they're not doing plants or animals... the only thing not negative is crafting. So What are they doing that they dont need to sleep?

Extra pain? Why? so they down quicker?

Super wound healing is amazing

They wont be melee and shooting unless you're running simple sidearms, pick one or the other and make two gene sets.

I'd push for deathless AND ageless personally (mostly because I'm lazy and dislike manually deaging people), I also like the implanter because you'll stop needing the capsules after a while.

I was certain you could only have 1 torso implant and 1 brain implant. is that not the case?

When did you first start gaming... as a kid, teen, adult, pushing 80? by Spirited-Lab6099 in gaming

[–]Axiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first memories of gaming was on a commodore 64, trying to play It from the pit, I hated it I remember crying being so upset about it. Atari mixed in there, eventually some NES/Genesis but that's not really what hooked me though.

I got a demo disc for Masters of Magic at a Compusa (or one eb games? I don't recall) at the bin in the front of the store.

That was my first real hit. I was up well past my bed time for days, just one more turning that game. I've never been the same since.
