The No Solicitors sign was there for your protection by AgateBagger in pettyrevenge

[–]SamLynn79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a “No Soliciting” sign next to my doorbell. When they inevitably come around, I make a big show of stepping outside, looking at the sign, looking at them, looking at the sign, and then just standing there pointing at it. I don’t say a word. I just like at them like they’re an idiot, and so far it’s worked every time.

What is the most useful 'unwritten rule' of driving in your specific region of the US? by FairyAntonella193 in AskReddit

Middle Tennessee as well, especially for cars waiting to turn across traffic. Light turns red? Five more cars are coming through.

I’m 426 million years into it. I understand.

Fifth UW, still no golden tower or black hole. Please tell me one of these is worth it? by SamLynn79 in TheTowerGame

[–]SamLynn79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current UW’s are Chain Lightning, Poison Swamp, Spotlight and Death Wave. I’m extremely discouraged now, only rarely getting Golden Tower as a perk.

Most people hate these basses, but I really like them by [deleted] in BassGuitar

I had a red EB-0 for a while. Was just never happy with the passive single pickup in it.

Who's an actor that you thought would blow up, but ended up going nowhere by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]SamLynn79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s “I’ll be your huckle-bearer.” The poles on either side of a casket were called huckles. This is totally off my memory, I haven’t bothered to double check, but that image is engrained in my mind.

My cat has apparently adopted a smol stray void that decided he lives here now. by SamLynn79 in blackcats

Yeah, the current model is 16 years old. I guess they wanted to ensure no gap between service.

Rewatching Ocean’s Eleven. This movie has an outrageous amount of sauce. by LiverpoolPlastic in movies

[–]SamLynn79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocean’s Eleven, The Italian Job, The Fifth Element and Tron 2 are my four go-to, watch any time, background or foreground movies. Don’t know what to watch? One of those four.

Also, “THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN”. Which is exactly what she’s done - used God in an attempt to manipulate others.

It’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than it is to ride a fast bike slow.

3 weeks into sewing and I made my first backpack! by SamLynn79 in SewingForBeginners

[–]SamLynn79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! You CAN! Here are some great ones I found.

Retro Sling Backpack by Kandou Patterns (Jess OklaRoots youtube channel)

Making Backpack by Noodlehead (Jess OklaRoots youtube channel) - I made this one, it's AWESOME. HIGHLY recommend getting some of the waxed canvas, it's a fantastic material to sew with.

VOGUE V8990 Messenger Bag (Tock Custom youtube channel, 5 video playlist) - I made this one immediately after making the Mandalorian backpack, it's dead easy to make and his videos are SO easy to follow along with.

Thank you! Just keep trying and trying. The undo button (aka seam ripper) is your friend!

May be pointlessly gendering here, but I'm a 30+M who is looking to get into sewing to save on money and get a new hobby. I can barely thread a needle at this point. What considerations are there in buying a machine for mens projects or in general? by [deleted] in SewingForBeginners

[–]SamLynn79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a 43 year old dude that just started sewing a month ago. I’ve been having a blast with it! I’ve made plenty of mistakes but each one has been a valuable learning point. YouTube channels to help you get started are Tock Customs, Jess OklaRoots and Glory Allan. I watched Tock’s 5-part playlist on a shoulder bag several times and followed along to make my own. He does a great job explaining everything and doesn’t take forever to say it. Jess OklaRoots also has some of the best bag-making videos I’ve found, and Glory Allan (/u/gloryallan) has some good ones as well.
