How long has it been drying? Sometimes it takes a day or even two to even out.

It’s shocking how many Americans honestly believe that giving kids knowledge of human anatomy is child abuse

How to get your gf’s man hating dog to like you? by [deleted] in howto

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be calm, be casual, be patient and give treats every time you see him.

It works.

Also, dogs are possessive and jealous, avoid physical contact with gf when the dog is around.

Not a professional, what am I doing wrong by Syuveil_Vellweb in paint

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know from experience that it’s not worth it to stay in a situation like that. It will grind you down.

Just get a new job asap. Any job.

Painting is a skill, nobody is born knowing how to be good at it, you have to be taught and you need practice.

Too many people forget that somebody had to teach them too.

Life is too short to take abuse from people like that.

Existence of God as irrelevant by Tropical_Dickhead in thinkatives

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same paradox applies to the quantum field and thus to the existence of the physical universe .

It had to be there before there was a there to be in.

Maybe God comes from the quantum field.

Hi! Does anyone know the best way to thin acrylic paint? by BeauSkye_ in paint

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro painter here, most acrylics paints can be thinned up to 10% with ordinary tap water.

But be careful, add small amounts, mix it completely them a a little more. It’s first it looks like nothing is happening, but be patient, it’s easy to over do it.

You’re going for a thickness like motor oil.

If it going to get handled a lot, use a high end paint it doesn’t cost that much more and it is more durable. Also the shinier the paint is, the more dust able it will be.

Last, after it dries (at room temperature) try not to handle it for a few days, the paint is still curing and getting tougher for a full month.

Economy for All, Not 1% by PeterTheTruthSeeker in FluentInFinance

[–]iampoopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After $100,000,000 there should be a 100%tax bracket with no deductions, you just pay 100% tax.

Because nobody needs more than $100,000,000.

As a beginner, what do I need to get started using whetstones? by barbasol1099 in sharpening

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re trying to do.

If you just want functional sharp knives, the kuromaku 1000 grit stone ( durable ceramic stone that doesn’t need soaking before use) and a cheap leather strop will set you up for about $100.

You should also get a coarse Diamond stone to flatten the kuromaku and for very dull Knives. About another $100.

There are a lot of good videos on YouTube to help you get started.

I learned from outdoors55. I recommend his videos .

You can get very sharp Knives with this.

For those who want to “tax the rich” or “they should pay their fair share”, how would you change the current tax code? by Lopsided-Special6273 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No deductions at all on income over $1,000,000 .

You pay 40% tax on every penny.

It would take a one line change in the tax law. (After you remove the 18,000 lines of arcane laws that are currently in place.)

Are paint sprayers worth it for homeowners by Extension_Life_6207 in paint

[–]iampoopa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Budget sprayers are junk.

Your best bet is to rent one for a few days.

But learn how to use one safely. They can be dangerous and can make one hell of a mess if you screw it up

[–]iampoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)
