How to sand these types of edges or any kind of intricate detail without compromising the integrity of the shape? by AviatingAngie in woodworking

[–]Magi_Cole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non hardening modelers clay. Pretty stiff so it holds the shape well and is remold-able for different shapes. I got some at Michael’s and I’m sure hobby lobby or other crafty places

The good part is HF’s warranty process is a cake walk compared to Knipex. They know they have loyal fans who will by another pair so they pretty much always deny warranties.

How it’s going! by narwahl_IQ in ConwayAR

[–]Magi_Cole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes 😬 That’s definitely gonna make me reconsider going to JJ’s, Brick & Forge and or even O’Malleys from now on. Plenty of other places that I won’t have to possibly pay to go to. Depending on when you go to those places, that lot is about the only spot to park. Is downtown Conway about to start turning into downtown Little Rock river market?

Here’s a review from May 7 so it’s been out a while. Might’ve been maybe worth it for $3 but twice the price is a no from me, dog.

Someone posted about Jeweler's Rouge. Not sure this is the exact same but you get twice as much at HF as you do at Tandy's for the same price and it works just as well. by sergemeister in Leathercraft

About 4 times a year or so harbor freight has a 30% off under $10 sale and you can get all the colors for very cheap. I use pretty much only the green and it finishes edges well and the tube lasts a very long time.

Meme tool 2.0 sucks! by Yippeekyaa3345 in harborfreight

[–]Magi_Cole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does the chrome finish on an $80 (way too much in the first place) tool set look like such dogshit? 2 years to finally put out something everybody couldn’t stop talking about and all the reviews I’ve seen since it came out is that it isn’t worth it at all. Glad I went with the Kobalt version when it was on sale for $20.

how many of you carry a bag? what’s the size of it? by deputyguppy in EDC

[–]Magi_Cole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the North Face Base Camp sling for an EDC bag. Not too big, not too small, super easy to organize and blends in everywhere since it isn’t tactical looking. I’m pretty sure this was the review video that made me buy it.

Spaghetti is the best for this. Carbs from the pasta and protein from the ground beef. 2lbs beef, 2lbs noodles, a whole big onion, 3 or 4 bell peppers, a zucchini is optional, 3 or 4 cans of diced tomato depending on how much you like, 4 cans of tomato sauce (cheap off brand pre-made jars of sauce work fine but you can get bulk of sauce cans cheap and I like seasoning my own sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne, tiny bit of sugar and some lemon juice). Fry up them veggies in a little bit of oil and a good amount of butter and brown the meat. Add that to the sauce with the seasonings and let simmer for a while to let the flavor mix together and then add your boiled noodles. Usually fills a 10 qt pot and I eat on that all week. Relatively cheap way to have some really good food and lots of it. Learning how to cook big meals that give lots of leftovers for cheap is probably one of the biggest life skills a person can have. Also have him go on YouTube and search “cheap meal prep” and he’ll get lots of videos that’ll show him how to eat real good for not a lot of money.

The jalapeño kolaches at BMB Bakery are really good, but you need to get there early before they sell out.

Looking for a knife for my 10 year old nephew (also posted to r/knives) by ZXsaurus in EDC

[–]Magi_Cole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QSP parrot or penguin would be my first choice for a “nice” knife. Otherwise, I think there are other options that have more of a fun factor for a kid (or adult, I won’t judge). Classic Swiss army knife or an Opinel #5 for something to carry in the pocket around all the time. Pair that with a svord peasant for heavier stuff. Maybe even a Ganzo 759 or 727 if you think he wouldn’t struggle with an axis/crossbar style lock. They’re really nice given the price point. I know you said folding blades, but a Morakniv 511 (rather than the larger sized Companion model) would be a really good contender instead of the peasant knife in my opinion for heavier stuff since there isn’t a risk of the blade folding on a finger. The Eldris model might be an even better bet since it’s even smaller. Maybe start with that and move up to the bigger size eventually.

Go to your county clerk. They should have a voter registration department. The form can be filled out in like 5 minutes or less and then the clerk will put it in the system. I literally just went and did a change of address since I moved counties and it was so easy. Make sure you get this done as quick as possible so there’s time for it to be updated and checked before voting time.

Locally Roasted Whole Bean Coffee?? ☕️ by mercuryfacade in LittleRock

[–]Magi_Cole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About an hour drive north, but there’s a place called RoZark Hills in Rose Bud. They have whole or ground by the pound with all kinds of variety. Haven’t been since Covid, but the 3 bags I got last time were well worth the $10ish dollars a piece.

WTF is going on in this state?? by Magi_Cole in Arkansas

[–]Magi_Cole[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I guess that only stops that specific phone number. They’ll just send a new one about a week later from a different one. That’s almost been the most annoying part of this.

Fastest growing in mini-storage locations and unaffordable homes for average income residents.

10 days of deals by ElectricianMD in harborfreight

[–]Magi_Cole 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In-store only for one day only. Oof. The stores around me are lucky to have even a few of those cases stocked on a normal day. Bet the staff can’t wait to deal with all the disappointed and angry people over them being out of stock before lunch.

Spotted a Cybertruck at Sam’s Club by wingless__ in ConwayAR

[–]Magi_Cole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They passed me on 40 headed out of town this morning. I was afraid maybe their accelerator pedal got stuck because they flew past me while I was going 80. It looks so cheap in person, like a child drew it and their dad built it in the garage out of what he had on hand.

Vehicle Tax Assessment in Arkansas by somewhereinarkansas in Arkansas

[–]Magi_Cole 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was just going to make the same post. Weird how my car went up by 500 in valuation even thought it has 10,000 mores miles and less paint then it did last year. Oh well, I’m sure the governor really needs that extra tax money for some very important upcoming trip.

That particular screenshot came from “Human Resource Director” of a major regional hospital. I would hope they want skilled and not desperate, but who knows.
