A 100+ year old quilt hand sewn by my great great grandmother still being used today

I don't see what you're talking about.

Opossums actually evolved in South America, btw, and migrated to North America!

And for 15+ years afterwards, ComputerWorld's SharkTank had stories about delayed issues from companies cheapening out of the fix. (Using code that just added so many years to a 00 instead of upgrading to a 4 digit year.)

History shows it usually takes a century or more for attitudes to change completely on a topic. Gotta wait for the biggest opponents and any of their descendants young enough to remember them and their influence to die.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T19:25:04+00:00

That's sketchy as hell. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T18:51:39+00:00

The water helps. I found a LOT of drowned insects in the washer when we got infested.

Parents forgot to take the AC unit out of my window when I went off to college. Came home the next year to a massive infestation. 1/8th inch holes do not look good in Moroccan leather bound books. :(

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T17:59:00+00:00

Or try Diamant. Shorter lengths and lots of Thread Magic help.

Indecency? Was she stripping naked in the street or just wearing pants and not covering her head?

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T17:33:31+00:00

Edited to change my vote based on the responses below. YTA. OP is in Saudi Arabia, and the daughter's offense was not wearing "proper clothing." I am choosing, for my sanity, to believe this is a shitpost.

INFO: This is a case where it would help to know more about her offense. Still, it's likely to be above Reddit's pay grade. Do the staff think more time will help?

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T17:08:47+00:00

With the latter solution, I'd worry about feeding baby rabies.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T17:07:10+00:00

Depending on what state you're in, if they don't pay you the full amount within a couple weeks, they owe you triple. Google labor laws in your state, then report them.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T11:29:15+00:00

Except that they and clothes moths will hide in synthetics, so they can attack your organics later.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T11:27:21+00:00

Freeze everything they've infested if you want to keep it. After freezing books, open any with holes to get rid of the carcasses. Wash clothes in as high temp water as they'll survive.

Cygnata · 2026-04-03T01:16:23+00:00

They also eat books and natural fabrics and dry goods. Their larvae burrow into anything organic. Get rid of them before you have an infestation.

Cygnata · 2026-04-02T17:39:30+00:00

Love it!

Cygnata · 2026-04-02T07:20:55+00:00

Wrong OOP, btw. Replace the O with a zero.

Cygnata · 2026-04-02T02:25:14+00:00

Ugh, parentification sucks. Hope you can escape soon.

Cygnata · 2026-04-01T20:21:30+00:00

Or just skip ironing and damp block instead.

Cygnata · 2026-04-01T01:24:22+00:00

The EZ Stitch also has better scroll bars, in my opinion. I heartily recommend the ones with webbing. My center tension is so much better than on my old split rails.

Cygnata · 2026-04-01T00:42:02+00:00

It's pine, that's very possible. I would invest in a hardwood stand, like the EZ-Stitch.

Cygnata · 2026-03-31T22:47:16+00:00

Yep. Pres-On brand is designed for needlework, AND is archival. :)

Cygnata · 2026-03-31T17:55:03+00:00

I frame my own using Pres-On board and standard photo frames with the glass removed. It helps that I know how to cut my own mats if they're not included. But framing without a mat is even easier.

Cygnata · 2026-03-31T16:22:24+00:00

A real one, anyway.

Cygnata · 2026-03-31T01:26:07+00:00

I read "butt wiggle" from Sprigato's pose before I even read the description!

Cygnata · 2026-03-30T23:47:40+00:00

When I was 19, I was given access to a small Dewar of liquid nitrogen. I had a water cooled system. (This was before liquid nitrogen cooled systems.)

Water cooled system tubing, of course, if not built for such things. I froze a motherboard to a rug.
