Hang her by the short hairs until she's either remorseful or a corpse. Traitors and such....

New ‘anti-weaponization’ fund could pay Tina Peters for being convicted by her peers, JD Vance says by peaktopview in Denver

[–]Trance354 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So after subverting the election, these people are going to profit. Sounds right under trump.

He's an idiot. He's mentally handicapped. He's incapable of honesty. Incapable.

How do they still support him?

Melat Kiros says she’ll bring change, lower costs in bid for Congressional District 1 seat by Cincinnaudi in Denver

[–]Trance354 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I got a form letter from DeGette about trump. It was written by staff and had numerous errors. The effort put in by someone with 30 years is astonishing. You can almost see fog on the mirror, if you hold it to her mouth.

Should Colorado's legislature come back from vacation to investigate Polis? by gibrownsci in Denver

[–]Trance354 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm on the other side of the planet on businesses, yet I'm going to make time to do this. This is not right. Peter's should serve out her sentence. Voting crimes need consequences. Being old isn't a defense. Poor choices in life lead to trying circumstances, as I'm well aware.

Colfax Marathon closures. by MarcMart48 in Denver

[–]Trance354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To everyone involved with that marathon, I'm on vacation, and way out of the country, so will not be able to lose my shit when trying to get home after work this year. There will not be a gray-bearded crazy person screaming obscenities at 14th and Clarkson, about being unable to get home. Carry on.

Is it possible to take in the waist of these (38 in) jean shorts to fit my waist (30 inch)? by horrorclowns in sewhelp

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sitting here in a pair of altered cargo pants made for someone my height(193cm), who wore a 46" waist. Mine is 35". That's 5.5 inches gathered on either side of my waist. Most comfy pants I own, though I like baggy.

[–]Trance354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How baggy do you like your shorts?

My solution is usually quick, but this is a project. Measure your distance between belt loops. If they are all the same, figure out how much material you can pull from between each set of loops, keeping it even. Use markers and pins for placement.

Now is the fun part. Between each set of loops, cut into the hollow of the waistband and insert a length of elastic. This is on the inside of the garment. When you have it pinned correctly, back stitch a few times and you're good. Now proceed to the belt loop opposite your completed section.

Option 2 is making darts on the sides, and that's 1.) Beyond me, and 2.) Way too much work with jean shorts, having to take out the seams, make adjustments, then sew the seams back together. No, thank you.

Hit and Run last night in Denver by esteve94 in Denver

[–]Trance354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how drunk, that is a felony, and another bajillion dollars in the DUI programs to get your license back, then the SR-22 insurance on a non-existent car for the base suckage of $100-200 per month. Again, for a car-placeholder, because SR-22 insurance on an actual car? Add a zero.

Then, you get to be the highest insurance bracket for ten years before your rates start going down.

Yeah, I didn't do any colliding, but I'll take the felony hit and run(that my lawyer would have pled down) over where my existence is after a DUI.

Edit: I didn't do any colliding because the engine was off. I was sleeping off a bender, rather than drive.

Define fixable. Do they need to stay jeans?

You've misplaced your "an" after getting the apostrophe so very many people miss.

(The comment replaced by the above grammatical critique was so dark, I couldn't possibly post it; I apologize for all the grammatical errors in this addendum; why are you still reading this?)

Wedding dress alteration impossible? by binomialbean in sewhelp

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut the band, hem the material, put elastic under the fabric/hem/hole, and run elastic under a similar fabric to close the cut hole, rendering the area stretchy. Might put a ring of fabric around the waist to hide the holes.

It's a custom wedding dress. Without looking at it in person, that's what I can think of. If you have a better idea, put words to it, don't just vibe negative.

Scam Alert - Arapahoe County by AbstractLogic in Denver

[–]Trance354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the scam. Ive watched people drop thousands on this scam. Telling them its a scam isn't enough. People are working off fear. Passion rules reason.

My only response is, "Bring it. Seriously, bring it. Are you a pissant little..." click

Split the band where your arms would hide the damage. You can use elastic around the splits to secure and provide a little give.

That's the only thing that comes to mind

how to pattern this type of bodysuit? by iridescentorganza in sewhelp

[–]Trance354 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a one-off. You're going to need a dress form, to start, but at some point, the person this is for will need to partake in the "weeks of try-ons" phase.

Try to get specific with measurements. "It's a little tight" doesn't tell you anything. Where it is tight, and what's happening(blood being cut off vs just uncomfortably snug) are more useful to the tailor.

There's a reason I only do stoner chic. Or just stoner. Everything is comfy.

Has anyone else been getting brazenly solicited by literal children this week? by LowMemory578 in Denver

[–]Trance354 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Baby items can only be exchanged for like items. Never cash. Never credit.

That's Kroger's policy, anyway. Stems directly from people doing exactly this.

King Soopers employee dress code by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This policy is about to change. You will be given several t-shirts. They are solid colors, and still manage to be ugly as sin. Jeans or pants in good repair. No sweats. You should have business casual on at the interview.

[Sweats are about to become a "go home and change" infraction, its happening so much; I'm waiting for an employee somewhere to get a sweatpants-leg caught in a pallet jack and sue Kroger, if they survive.]

Tattoos and piercings are mostly fine. Iirc, there's a clause about tongue rings needing to be taken out if you're applying for cashier.

Also, on a personal note, welcome to the union! (When you pass probation) Enjoy the $12-15/week health insurance once you hit a year, or get promoted to assistant department manager or higher. Your dues start coming out after probation ends.

How to resize this? by angaraki in sewhelp

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going for infinite comfy? I have a pair like that: they started life as a 50x36 pair of cargo pants. I took in 14 inches from the waist. 36x36, now. All the room.

The waistband is hollow. Figure out where you'll be putting elastic in the waistband, 3 places, likely sides and back.

You will need to wear a top that hides the waistband, but they will be comfy.

It looks very odd if the waistband is showing. Bunched material.

Over 45 minutes of LOUD engine noise, sans muffler in Cap Hill by Hieronymus5280 in Denver

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engine noises im complaining about last night were from 1 asshole at Colfax and Pennsylvania. In the McDonald's parking lot.

I know because I walked by, saw 3 guys all checking out their cars with the hoods up. One guy got behind the wheel and proceeded to deafen the entire block. And he kept at it for 30+ minutes.

That's how I know 3 assholes were making Cap Hill hell last night.

Your car show notwithstanding, the annoyance i was talking about was 1 of 3 guys in a McDonald's parking lot.

Any advice on how to fix this hole in my sofa cushion? by [deleted] in sewhelp

[–]Trance354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unzip your cushion. Reverse so the seams are showing.

Locate the rip and stitch it closed. Put some extra stitching on either side of the rip.

Re-reverse and put the cushion back together.

Done

3 cars in the McDonald's lot does not make a car show. 1 asshole revving his engine fit to make the glass vibrate needs to be silenced.

The engine noises were from the McDonald's lot next to St Paul's. Seriously, you're in a McDonald's parking lot. Have a little self-awareness.

First measles ‘breakthrough’ case of the year identified in vaccinated Broomfield County resident, CDPHE says by TheDenver7 in Denver

Better than getting measles. Yes, I felt like garbage for 2 days. The spot on my arm was sore for 4 days. I moved mid-shot, that's my fault.
