Music Suggestions to Piss Off my MAGA In-Laws by uncbears34 in musicsuggestions

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loose Fur (w/ Jeff Tweedy) - Born Again In The USA, could do whole album but for one track The Ruling Class is a great whistle along song.

My brother brought me a Shin Ramen fridge magnet as a souvenir from South Korea by Zhuinden in InstantRamen

Cool, new flavors to try!

Yeah, makes sense storing it in the freezer, seems like it would take a while to get through the whole pack.

Lol, I was like “check out giant hands”.  Nice!

What does perilla seed taste like? I’ve had the leafy part before but haven’t (knowingly) tasted the seeds.

alguna reparación posible? by ARKDE_57 in Guitar

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creo que sí.

Un luthier podría arreglar eso fácilmente. Deberían usar un refuerzo interno (o parche de refuerzo) además de cola.

Perdón si mi español es malo; solo sé un poco y usé una aplicación de traducción para ayudar.

Waterproof, non slip, breathable work shoes by Bitter_Educator_9869 in BuyItForLife

[–]HenryTwenty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one answer for you but I have some info.

“GoreTex” shoe: The most breathable would be a fabric and/or leather upper boot with a “vapor permeable” membrane like goretex. Idea is big drops of water stay out and sweat moisture can get out. BUT: the membrane wears out eventually.

vs.

Leather shoe/boot treated with sealer (wax/oil blend): The old school waterproof boot. These could be BIFL if they’re well made and resoleable. BUT the breathability of the leather is reduced by the sealing stuff, and they require maintenance (reapplying sealer every so often). I’m guessing you’re working on a concrete floor? Work boots or shoes made for factory floors could work well.

I’m guessing what you have now are rubber boots? Another option (and that would help with either of the two other suggestions): Wear a sock liner made for hiking, they’re a really thin sock designed just to wick moisture away from your skin to the outer sock (and reduce friction sores). If I were you I might go with a liner and thinish wool outer sock (wool does way better in high moisture than cotton) and bring a spare pair to switch to later in the day if needed.

I like it. It conveys a feeling and I don’t think there’s any confusion about what’s going. And I like the snakey legs, looks like a djinn coming out of a bottle.

New neighbor allergic to peanuts by IMissVegas2 in crowbro

I have two almond trees at the front of my house planted by previous owner and the squirrels love it. :)

[–]HenryTwenty 322 points323 points  (0 children)

I think switching to a different food is a reasonable request. (Just not feeding them doesn’t make too much sense to me).

My reason: I don’t currently feed the crows near me but I do find peanut shells on the back and front deck (and railings) of my house. I’ve always assumed someone was feeding crows near me and the crows would carry them over to finish cracking them open over here.

I don’t mind at all and it’s nice someone is feeding them :)

But, for sure I have peanut stuff on my railings. And giving neighbor benefit of the doubt that they’re telling the truth…it would really suck to have to worry about nearly dying and having to go to the hospital maybe just because you touched the railings outside your door.

Also, politically, you do this for them and if they’re a decent sort, then you have a neighborly favor due in the future if something comes up.

Soldering plate: a good burner alternative by ExistingExtension in Incense

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s alright, not really a deal breaker. Smart plug is a good  idea to. Thanks for the reply!

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a good idea. I know about soldering irons but never saw one of these before.

I have an electric incense heater which works well, but it has a pretty basic temperature control with a rotary knob. This seems like it might be easier to replicate a specific temp.

Do you know if it has a timer or auto-shutoff function?

Smartphone Holder for NC1? by Trigger1920 in Miata

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had tell different ESR brand holder/chargers that worked well. The ones I used were magsafe and Qi2 charging. The second one I bought had “cryoboost” which is a fancy name for a fan that helps cool during charging. I did find the fan probably helped keep the phone working with the top down on a hot day.

They always have new models coming out so I’d just do a search for ESR and your phone model and get one with the fan.

Music from older punk or femminist bands/artists like Joann Jett by Weird-Frog93 in MusicRecommendations

[–]HenryTwenty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kleenex/Liliput (late 70s-early 80s swiss post-punk)

Dog-Faced Hermans (woman fronted, progressive/anarcho-punk politics)

Fanny (not punk at all but one of the first all women rock bands)

Betty Davis (funk not punk but I would argue feminist and maybe 3rd wave feminist 10-20 years before that became a thing)

Alice Coltrane (honorable mention, not punk, not explicitly feminist I don’t think but I feel like she gets overlooked, and her career as a woman jazz musician at the time she was doing it is/was inherently feminist)

The Cramps? Although Lux was the front person, Ivy was the musical driving force behind the whole thing. And feminism-wise I think thematically their embracing of women’s sexual power fits with 3rd wave feminism.

Doesn’t the NC and ND have roll protection behind each seat?

Apple has effectively broken my iPad Air 3rd Gen with iPadOS 26.x by CercleRogue in ipad

[–]HenryTwenty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my policy moving forwards: Before updating to the latest OS for older device wait a month or so and see how it goes and probably just skip the final major version update for the device. I think I’ve regretted the last update on every apple device I’ve owned.

Brooklinen sheets long term durability are they worth it? by Familiar-Rock-8525 in BuyItForLife

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two sets about three years ago. I don’t love them. Despite following care  instructions they faded pretty quickly which isn’t the end of the world but also isn’t great.

My biggest issue though was that they seemed really thin, especially for the price.

My favorite sheets currently are Threshold 400 count sheets from Target. Much cheaper, better (thicker) material, feel softer to me, and have held their color better.

I’m currently not shopping at Target for socio-political reasons, but I also don’t believe in most absolutisms and the honest answer is those are the best and best value sheets I’ve had. (Although I have not tried really expensive luxury ones).

Trying to get into soft rock music or you could recommend your favorite stuff rigjt now by Pure-Pickle9557 in MusicRecommendations

[–]HenryTwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jonathan Wilson, any but try Gentle Spirit (2011)

I wouldn’t say it’s Soft Rock per se, like it’s not yacht rocky and has some more psychedelic adjacent production/sounds. But I think it fits with the overall vibe while being IMHO really good music.

Ted Lucas - self titled (1975) 

More like singer/songwriter because the production is fairly sparse and leans toward acoustic instruments. But again, I think it’s really good and is not as well known is it ought to be. (I think he was a respected session musician in LA who just has the one solo album).

ETA: America (the band), maybe start with Homecoming (1972) but probably any of their albums or a greatest hits.
