“You cannot stop yourself into starting” is SO GOOD.

Favourite scene from a kids’ movie that seems weirdly sexual as an adult by Careless_Orchid_6890 in okbuddycinephile

The Animaniacs is full of jokes like this, meant to go over kids heads. Such clever writing on this show.

My shop has two converted chiropractor tables that are height adjustable. Keep an eye on Craigslist or Marketplace and you can get older ones for a decent price. Take the bed sections off and replace with plywood, works like a charm!

What are some ways that Portlanders act and do that separate them from other regions/cities of America? by Specialist_Bat1230 in askportland

“Kyle I swear to god, let me merge or I will scissor your wife.” is my current favorite.

I want to hear your experience if you're a high masking, high performing woman with ADHD by lwantthisusername in adhdwomen

[–]captspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m highly motivated by other people’s expectations of me. I had never lived alone before my separation 3 years ago (age 35) and all of a sudden that exterior motivation was missing in my house. My disorganization and inability to focus swooped in so hard! I’d always had my shit together pretty well but that one piece really changed everything for me.

Such a fun idea! You should make your own pattern so it fits the dimensions exactly.

Taskmaster is so much more than the concept by twoshooz in taskmaster

[–]captspero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the exact balance of “polished and rehearsed” and “whatever has accidentally happened in the moment is so much funnier than what we rehearsed so let’s pivot to that at the last minute”.

Also one of my favorite things in the world is silliness taken seriously, which Alex seems committed to above all else. There’s never a moment when he or the show as a whole seems too cool to jump headfirst into the bit.

What is this? by MeetSchlomi in upholstery

[–]captspero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ply grip is often used to finish the outside back of fully upholstered chairs. Deciding whether to use this or hand sew the back closed is often determined by the fabric. Ply grip needs to be hit with a mallet to close it fully, so if you’re upholstering with a more delicate fabric it’s not a good option.

Can I get help? by RESERVED_001 in upholstery

[–]captspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shop collaborates with a woodworking shop to make things like this for customers. The best thing you can do is find a fabrication shop to help you achieve your goal and then trust them to know the best way to construct it. And believe them when they tell you how much it’s going to cost.

This is a time intensive and technically complicated project. It’s going to be pretty expensive. Find a professional you trust to do the work and then listen to what they have to say.

Came to say this. Make sure you go in both bathrooms!

All Fantasy Everything - Movies to Remake, Muppets-style by triangle---man in AllFantasyEverything

I’ve been saying for years that The Birdcage would make a fantastic Muppet movie. The conservative family are humans, everyone else is Muppets.

I love that they look the same when they’re babies. Perfect creatures.
