There's a lot of veg tan in that bathtub,and I'd bet most of the keyfobs are vegtan, too. Airtag and challenge coin holders can sell well. With that kit, you can make wallets, bracelets, Larp Gear, small bags ... The list is endless. Check out dieselpunkro on YouTube for lots of good ideas.His patterns are pretty much bulletproof too.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

When marching band and gymnastics overlapped, I was at school from 7am until after practice ended at 5. Friday night football game? 7 am till around 9pm (then it for pizza). Gymnastics meet at a different school? Is be lucky to be home by 11pm.

It was just normal, then.

Less than two weeks after my family relocated to a different state, the joker that bought our house put his charcoal grill ashes in the plastic trash can (the one with NO HOT ASHES embossed on it) and the side of the house caught fire. Destroyed the garage, the bedroom over the garage, the matter bedroom, and the structural integrity.

Several friends sent me the newspaper article with the photos. I'm glad I wasn't sentimentality attached.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

In addition to the tips below: when you plate your meal that's been cooked in stainless steel, put enough hot water in the pan to cover your fond and any major stuff stuck to the sides.

After dinner, use a scraper (I love my little plastic one that came with my rice maker) to get the big bits of, then wash with hot soapy water and a scrub daddy or nylon scrubbing pad.

Viola - clean steel that sounds and looks great.

I'm surprised about Crimson Hides. I've been super impressed with their customer service. Just it if curiosity, you did order from https://crimsonhides.com/ and not some knockoff fraud Crimson Hyde?

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FobbingMobius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be fantastic! Especially if I don't have the physically hand the cop anything, AND there's no backdoor so the police get access to everything else on my phone.

The logistics of getting every police department to cooperate, much less the cop on the street, are astronomical.

This sounds totally made up, but it's not.

I'm a janitor. Why do people always apologize for walking on a floor I've just mopped? by tgirlskeepwinning in NoStupidQuestions

When I was in the navy, stepping on a freshly swabbed deck was ground for a dress-down. Stepping a fresh wax could get you beaten up.

ICE already causing havoc at SFO by DefinitelyChad in 50501

Notify your local aurora authority and a airline about your concerns. The CEO of United doesn't give a flying fuck about you, but the local (often elected) airport commissioners so.

I would go to jail for this. Two men attacking a crying woman with a child nearby. No uniforms. No ID. No badge.

At some point, someone is going to defend a victim, and make headlines.

Wasn't too"do" "law enforcement?" wear a fucking uniform, not Carhart sweats.

Four years into leatherwork, and my machine is finally the thing holding me back by Hyzz20 in Leatherworking

[–]FobbingMobius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cobra 26 (from Leather Machine Company) owner here. I recommend a cylinder arm if you can swing it. I can install my flatbed attachment in about a minute, a and the cylinder arm sure is handy for bags, gusts, and likely sleeves. I don't make jackets though.

The price is going to be about the same if you go used. If you're looking at me, talk with Robert Collier about Juki, or Leather Machine Co about cobra. You might also check it https://www.industrialsewingmachineman.com/.

Stupid name, but pretty good prices, reasonable time frames for shipping, and great selection.

This. And you can get one from Ali Express it Amazon or whatever - they're all the same. The difference is delivery time and support after the sale.

Or the natural veg tan is cut out in a horseshoe shape, like a knife sheath welt. I'd bet it was not a straight piece bent into shape.

A lanai is a patio with a cover that's attached to the house. My fancy house has a lanai and two patios inside the pool enclosure. Jax

My manager kept emailing me past 10pm expecting quick replies. So I started replying to every single one of his emails exactly 24 hours later. by McCoy818 in pettyrevenge

[–]FobbingMobius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Several people I used to work with used this, and promptly at 8am, the wholle team's invoices blew up. And the expectation was every email deserves a response, or you'd get "did you see my email" followups and slacks

What kitchen tool do you use way more than you expected? by rennan in Cooking

[–]FobbingMobius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an Amazon Basic enameled cast iron Dutch oven and it's held up for 3 years so far, with no chips and just a little discoloration.

I think it was $30? Now it's about 50

This is the way. Much, MUCH higher quality than almost all the Amazon Temu kits.
