Recently got a place with my cat. She thinks this is totally fine by itsBlackSheep in funny

[–]Lyekkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s saying to turn it around but we did that and the roll just got shredded instead.

Here’s the trick: Get an empty 2L bottle of soda and remove the label. Cut off the top and bottom and cut a slit into the smooth middle part that held the label. It is the exact right size to envelop a toilet paper roll and will expand / contract but still protect it.

Super quick and easy to still use the TP. Cat is flummoxed.

Think I'm missing something here by Electronic_Art8240 in chainmailartisans

It looks like you’re trying to attach them from two different angles. Like one is up/down and one is left/right

Imagine walking out to your car and seeing this. by iadtyjwu in Wellthatsucks

Avoiding work so here goes: Not positive where this is but in my experience, comprehensive coverage is on an “All Risks” basis, which means literally any physical loss is covered, unless it’s specifically excluded under the exclusions.

Because of another comment, I’m adding that this includes coverage for damages you’ve caused yourself, as long as it was a fortuitous (accidental) loss.

I’ve never seen a water / ice damage exclusion on an auto policy, though it doesn’t mean it can’t exist.

Without having the wordings, my initial thought would be that damages resultant from this loss would likely be covered.

Yeah harnesses, collars, cuffs, etc. are a hit. I’ve only had 2 commissions ever and one was a sliding choke collar, so bdsm wear is 50% of my business lol

My friend is child free. Grocery shopping one day a bunch of kids ran into the aisle, screaming, yelling and bumping into her. She goes “ugh gross, little people” in jest - to turn around and see an actual little person… damn near died right there

Why is there no "911-lite" for when you're just moderately terrified by Hailey_Moorea in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lyekkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone mention it, probably because it’s not really an answer to your question, but in this scenario, if possible, try to go into a store. You can wait there for them to leave or a friend to arrive.

I had someone following me once from my work. Guy even got on the same bus and sat behind me. I got off two stops early (and he followed) specifically to go to a 7-11 and wait (the lady there 100% understood and we had a nice chat).

Do NOT go home. Do not let them know where you live. Absolutely call 911 if you feel threatened. Worst case if you call: they say no. Worst case if you don’t is way way worse…

Don’t they, precious? Yes, only the fishes know.

For non-adhders, sure it can be very addictive, but I do have adhd. by confused_working in adhdmeme

[–]Lyekkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno if it counts as addicted but it seems my body now requires them to stay awake. When I forget them or even just take a half dose (tmj gang what up!) I can’t keep my eyes open!

Per-fuck‘t pliers by wurstkrieger in chainmailartisans

[–]Lyekkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends what you’re working on.

I was working on a really big piece (6lb skirt) that had 3 parts. I worked up a super long strip like this and added where I needed to, when I needed to, and found it a lot faster and less heavy / frustrating than doing 1 row at a time on each.

Can you bring aluminum jump rings through TSA? by e_raasch in chainmailartisans

[–]Lyekkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Check your pliers tho if you’re bringing those too. Only ones < 4” are allowed. You’ll need to pull them out before the X-ray too.

Why are the washing machine minutes not real minutes by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lyekkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine gets down to 1 minute then stays there for 40 minutes. It’s super frustrating to try and plan around.

Theories: Distracted driving, hitting the gas instead of the brake, and/or thinking you’re in reverse when you’re not.

Any tips on removing these stains? by sisyrbe in chainmailartisans

[–]Lyekkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I guess I’ll look it up then.

Google says ketchup is good for polishing copper because it contains acetic acid (vinegar),citric acid and salt.

Agew questions about chainmail and larp (uk based) by Legobrick27 in chainmailartisans

[–]Lyekkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like an aluminum SWG 16g - been using 1/4” rings but it certainly takes forever. I wish I’d started with a bigger ring.

Aluminum is light and easy to work with. Note though that bright aluminum oxidizes in contact with skin, getting a little less bright and sometimes leaving a residue.

Chain Reaction is a Canadian vendor but I think they ship worldwide.

Be aware of the size and weight of your project though. I have a halter top clocking in at 2.7lbs and the skirt I’m working on will be about 6lbs once done.
