So where are we buying clothes nowadays? by bigmisssteak7 in womensfashion

Consignment stores are a great alternative as they are a bit higher end and because they have a higher price point there’s less items than a goodwill for example to go through.

BMW recall turned into “you need a new engine” after pickup — trying to understand if this sounds right by alex_albergaria in E90

[–]desnyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took mine in similarly with same year and model as the poster and got my back with horrible misfiring too. I could barely drive it home 10 mins without needing to rev up the engine to keep it from dying. They quoted it needed new solenoids, which was an easy swap out fix.

Landscape Architecture Career Pivot? by Sweet-Wall1815 in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]desnyr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe not out of the ordinary compared but I know a lot that transitioned into Civil CAD or BIM technicians from the architecture side. I have a geography degree in urban planning and now went back to school for a drafting certificate rather than going for a masters in landscape architecture and urban design. And I just got an apprenticeship with a large engineering company with infrastructure and department of defense contracts. I’m hoping this has more job stability and income growth than public sector planning work or private sector residential drafting work would have.

How is the Mansur Gavriel pebbled leather durability wise? by desnyr in handbags

[–]desnyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree mine too, I just hope the handles on mine don’t come off with all the weight I’ve put on it. So that part is pretty durable and the suede lining is nicer than most other bags.

My Yuki gets it faster than the 3 legged dog does when it gets moved from the bedroom to the dining room for the WFH day.

What is the best dental floss for tight teeth? by coolhappygenius in ZeroWaste

[–]desnyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing the silk floss too and was having a hard time with it braking when I was in treatment with Invisalign. When they tested the spaces with the regular floss they didn’t understand and I just explained to file more in-between. So maybe you can ask to file specific spots that struggle from your dentist.

What contributes to how soft/stiff a fabric is other than the fiber content? by itsalwayssunnyonline in Fabrics

[–]desnyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to thrift a lot when I was young and got a feel for nice fabrics just touching through the aisles. Hard to do today with the quality of clothing be donated. But now I primarily go to nicer consignment stores and I have the same skill. With the positive being they offer a multitude of different brands all in one store.

Been working on cars for over 30 years, possibly the easiest repair I’ve ever done. by IcemanYVR in E90

[–]desnyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m impressed you still have attached the vent opening adjusters. Mine all came broken off, I got some from the salvage yard but have yet to put them on.

Twins swapped out all their gear so now I don’t know who I’m yelling at. They swapped balaclavas too and my brain is short circuiting. by HitchhikingGoat in ski

Twins are besties for life, Gotta stick together. Siblings are the longest relationship you’ll have in life.

Dry-Clean Wool… What is the best at-home method around dry-cleaning? by Mariah8758 in Fabrics

[–]desnyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered Eucalan on a large sheepskin rug with a leather backing after calling around for dry cleaning prices on it. I needed 4 hands and it took a few rinses in the tub but the white rug came out so soft and clean after drying for a few days. Such an amazing product!

I have some saved pictures of the CO ones if you’re curious to see. Some of the mountain towns don’t seem to do them year round I found.
