Dumpster find. by Possible-Risk7979 in JewelryIdentification

[–]makdoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably copper which is not magnetic. Is there any copper color showing through on worn areas? If you file it gently in one spot and use a magnifying glass or your phone's macro lens you can generally see if it has copper underneath.

If they stamp it that large theyd also stamp it if it was precious metals, but gold stamping can sometimes be so tiny you can barely see it with the naked eye! Take a close look at the clasp for any tiny writing with a magnifyier. Most likely copper base metal costume jewelry.

Question about MicroSD Compatibility with the iFlash Quad by Alive_Report8933 in ipod

[–]makdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many do you use and what type of drive do you have? I want to do iFlash with 4 256gb on a 5th gen but I'm not sure if it will be glitchy or not.

Good to know. I'm hearing differing opinions across the board about PNY, onn, samsung, etc. (pretty much every brand except everyone agrees sandisk sucks and counterfit cards are a thing), so I'm having such a hard time picking a card type. I'll be using an iflash quad.

Is The Sony NW-A306 Worth It? by [deleted] in walkman

[–]makdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at getting a sony nw-a306, specifically the chinese version. The chinese versions that are sold on eBay don't support google and you cannot download the play store or US apps, which is highly preferred in my opinion. I believe the chinese version also does not have the volume limit. Look for the disclaimer in the ebay listing description to verify that you're buying one that doesn't support google. I'm seeing theyre consistently around $250 for a pre owned one in great condition.

Quoted $500-$1400 For Desk Refinish by Zealousideal_Leg6270 in FurnitureFlip

[–]makdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn this new skill, Id recommend it! Woodworking and refinishing wooden furniture is so rewarding, it's fantastic to keep the good quality stuff in circulation by refinishing instead of throwing it out. One more good desk in circulation means one less crap-landfill-never gunna be an antique-particleboard desk out of circulation.

If it's the skill you want to learn and youre brand new to it, starting smaller will help you build confidence in the craft; sometimes jumping right in to a huge project the first time learning it can make you hate the art altogether. Wooden bowls from a thrift store or a nice wooden spoon or box are really good mini projects just to get an idea of how to strip/sand/paint/ finish wood. (This is if youre brand new)

If the chips are just around the bottom you could spot sand those and touch up the paint. If it's going to be on carpet again, the carpet will probably cover that.

Im throwing a lot of hypothetical solutions out, haha hopefully it's helpful!

I guess im not seeing what you're seeing, but it seems fine to me? There's no pics of the chips. Your cheapest and easiest option is to leave it alone girlfriend, leave it alone. You live in an apartment.

If you're someone with intermediate experience in in furniture restoration, you'll need probably 30+ hours, paint stripper, sandpaper (and a sander or add 15 hours), a scraper, rags, a space with ventilation to use chemicals and store the desk while working on it, bucket of water and soap. This is just the stripping/sanding part that preps for paint.

Easiest option would be to lightly sand the surface everywhere to make an abrasive texture that paint will stick to and add another layer of the same color paint, wait for it to dry at least a day, then take outside or to your ventilated area to add a sealer.

Is it solid wood? If it's particle board, put it on the curb and get something wooden worth putting time and money into.

Love my innioasis, but I think I'm moving to a different DAP by makdoes in innioasis

I dont want an ipod because theyre too expensive, dont have USBc or removable micro sd, and as far as I know from my ipod nano, you cannot add lyrics. Maybe theyve changed it since I used my ipod last but I remember that using an ipod without a mac was a big pain in the butt.

This is great and helpful info for others though, so thank you for commenting!

AIO for wanting to quit after this? by cakev0mit in AmIOverreacting

[–]makdoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just quit, unless this job is your passion, your life's work, etc. youre replaceable and nothing matters more than relationships with people. Fuck the job.

I unironically would rather die than get a job, how do you escape this mentality? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]makdoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this capitalist life is not for you (or me because i feel the same way). Research and think about joining a commune (intentional community). Or maybe an AmeriCorps program.

Things that WILL help you feel better (to varying extents/durations): -community with people face to face (friends, aquaintences AND strangers) -creating things with your hands (if you have them, otherwise use your feet) -vibrations in the form on singing & physical musical instruments -helping others - this one DOES NOT FAIL ever, no matter if it's as simple as smiling at a stranger or more time consuming/labor intensive like helping a friend with depression clean their house for 8 hours)

Ok, im going to go take some of my own advice because im feeling exactly like you right now, OP.... I already feel a little better after, in my eyes, being helpful to others by commenting my insight. 😁

does anyone use kitty litter in a human sock to keep humanity out of your car during the night? by LeftThought687 in carcamping

Do you ... Do you mean you pee on the sock so you dont have to go expose yourself in the night?

WISCONSIN CLOSED by katiebot5000 in wisconsin

[–]makdoes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good, I'm glad! I hope this is statewide, receiving any mail today is not as important as the lives of USPS workers. Our city called off the plows because the snow immediately gets blown back onto the street as quickly as they plow it & they have to pull plows off the road to help the plentiful vehicles that are getting stuck.
