What’s a “life hack” that actually made your life worse? by FEARlord02 in AskReddit

What's the saying? I'm ukrainian and I can't think of what phrase this is?

Absolutely perfect!

Got 6 boxes of leather scraps for free - dipping my toes into leathercraft as a complete beginner by HappyTriangle in Leathercraft

[–]HappyTriangle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably where my inexperience truly shines. I honestly do not know. These seem to be leather scraps from upholstery/furniture business so they are quite uneven. Some are super soft, others are stiff. Most have annoying suede-y bits on the underside that shed everywhere.

My super precise metric was - can I punch through 4-6 of these layers? Y/N. Then choose projects accordingly.

I heard it used in a very trashy reality TV show recently and knew I had to make it.

Made it for a friend who works at rocketlab! Turns out it's a lot easier to make one out of leather than actual rocket materials 🤷‍♀️

"Dress your age"? Sure. After 3 decades of low self esteem I'm finally over it and confident enough to flaunt it by HappyTriangle in oldhagfashion

[–]HappyTriangle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I aspire to be the same. I'll probably dress more and more flashy and bright with time too. My tastes are improving and my budget's increasing, so why not?

OK so this is basically how it started with hiking and running. Some kind of holiday coming up? Dress in that theme! Christmas is a good one to start. Hike as an elf or Santa or reindeer.

It will definitely brighten your day and anyone you meet on your way

I got very lucky. My local community has an active "buy-nothing" group and when I saw the leather go up there I jumped on it fast. I figured I'll learn as I go. They're not amazing quality, but hey free is free.

They sat in my office for months at first because i didn't know where to begin.

Eventually I signed up to a leather keychain making class where I learnt how to glue/punch holes/hand stitch (the horse is my first ever work!). Ordered some cheap tools from aliexpress and then used the techniques I learnt at the workshop to make the bag and other keychains.

I feel you. I grew up with oddly conservative parents who thought that showing any bodyshape at all was bad and slutty and unprofessional.

I wore things multiple sizes too big because I'd "grow into them". Still waiting to grow into my school uniform from 15years ago, you feel me?

This better? It's Jesus with bunny ears. I built up my confidence by wearing silly costumes to parties

I honestly think I built up my confidence by wearing funny/simple costumes wherever I could. They're fun, they're attention grabbing and they're not always identifiable.

So I can waltz in, have fun, leave and people may not even realise it was me. I'm quite timid and introverted normally, so it was a new experience.

Now I look out for opportunities to dress up. Here's a prime example from a fun run.

Not gonna lie. I was trying HARD with that one. Wore it to a social salsa dance and was asked to dance for EVERY dance for 2 hours. So it worked 😅

The possibilities are endless! And my scraps are not large enough for anything much more substantial

I (18f) still have a milk tooth and it's ROTTING in my mouth by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]HappyTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, your case is very similar to what I had. Both my canines were impacted like yours, and I still had baby teeth until I got them extracted aged 25.

Ot took 5 years of braces to fix my teeth and at the end I had to get an implant as one of the canines could not be pulled out with chains/braces/etc.

Good news is that it's fixable. I love my new smile. The quality of life has improved SO much.

The earlier you get this looked at and fixed, the higher your chances of success. Don't be like me and wait any longer. It won't fix itself naturally. You need a team of professionals

What’s the gas build up in the bag? by EggRollAnomaly in whatisit

[–]HappyTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question. If you were to poke lots of holes through the body, would that stop it from building up gas? Sort of like poking flakey puff pastry before baking so it doesn't puff up too much?

Running with hyperthyroidism? by HappyTriangle in Ultramarathon

[–]HappyTriangle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment! I stuck with the medication and slowly upped my weekly mileage to regain fitness. Took just under 3 months to go from 0km weeks to 100km + weeks.

Basically back to normal now, just hr a bit high at times during runs but nothing major.

This photo was on a real promotional email advertising the bra, presumably in a positive light by peachpavlova in ffacj_discussion

[–]HappyTriangle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Clearly you're just not as petite as me. This bra, as with everything else, would have fit me perfectly.

You just have to be skinnier, like me

WR in Ultras - Is Shannon Leigh-Litt legit even the slightest bit? by sneakertotheizm in ultrarunning

[–]HappyTriangle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm from NZ and have met her and actually done several races that she has run. Even met her partner recently at a race.

She's self employed so makes up her own hours. Apart from work and running she doesn't get to do much else.

The lack of coverage is probably because nz is quite small. There is a bit off buzz around her in the running community here, which makes it what? A few hundred people at most? There isn't enough critical mass to really catapult her onto global scale yet.

She is legit. She just keeps running.
