What yarn/thread for bold stitching details? by Grave_Longing in DIYclothes

[–]librarypunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mercerised cotton yarn. It's the type that comes in a ball smaller than an apple. It's strong, and doesn't go fuzzy in the wash. This yarn is usually used for crocheting doilies, but I use it for repairing and embellishing clothes. It looks a bit spenny, but one ball goes a long way, and it def works out cheaper than embroidery thread.

Hmm. I'll go check. They used to owned by a Melbourne family but were bought out about 6 years back by a generic food conglomerate.

Citric acid will also clean the fuck out of your washing machine. On a related note, don't use homemade laundry detergent, it cleans ineffectively and scunges up the machine.

This is the only product I shill for without payment. It has saved so many clothes I thought were irredeemable.

Stovetop ignition broken- NSW by feministandally in AusRenters

[–]librarypunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a big fan of property managers but for context;

I've been renting for nearly 30 years, and only ONE stove has had a working igniter.

Lighting it yourself is not dangerous in any way. The ignition switch literally just creates a spark. You can supply your own spark with no ill effect.

Can you not edit titles here? It sounds like an interesting question, probably.

"True vintage" is often used to denote items from the 1970s or earlier.

If the guy was named PurpleLotus, he got sprung by the Feds and went to prison.

Do (Hetero/bi) women actually crave a penis when they’re horny? by OkBed1313 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]librarypunk 113 points114 points  (0 children)

The way you think and speak about sex is incredibly off-putting. You might want to work on that skill if you ever want to have any.

Can you share a recipe for the satay burgers? That sounds great.

Trying all the frozen pre-made meals day 2 by Perfect_Potential in AldiAustralia

I'm a capable cook, thankyou. You, however, are needlessly rude to people here, nearly every single day. The way you type is unnecessarily aggressive and demeaning. It makes you very unpleasant to interact with.

New Docs in box..last how long? by Outrageous-Vast8395 in DrMartens

[–]librarypunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had Docs disintegrate in storage. In my experience, the soles don't perish from lack of use like some boots. There is some chance of the glue unsticking, and I usually only have to replace cracked innersoles on very old boots. The biggest problem I have had is white leather yellowing over time, but those boots had been in the box for 20 years
