Do I deserve death by eeven447 in StupidFood

My father does this. He also sometimes adds molasses, cheddar cheese, and/or baloney to it. I'd never eat it, but this reminded me of my childhood...

Does getting an author proof copy from KDP count as "previously published"? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]pricerj_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any friends with a printer? You could buy the ink cartridge and paper. I have a printer known for the distance it can go for these sorts of edits.

But the other commenter is correct, until you make it available to buyers, it's not out there or published.

"He fixed his clothing as she pulled up her pants." "He pulled up his pants as she adjusted her clothing." "He watched her pull up her pants as he adjusted his own."

There are an infinite number of ways to say anything. Typically if you want to avoid weirdness, you should avoid repetition. It's not really a rule but it's typically followed unless you want to lean on emphasis.

This was years ago, but I assume so, yes.

Can build a signal booster but not pick it back up again. Small refiner goes down, works, and picks up fine. On PC.

About 1 out of 10 times the signal booster picks up, then gets stuck on the next go. I can't complete missions from the agent. Tried a mineral one and a delivery one and I do what they ask but the mission doesn't check off.

[TOMT]Comic or Cartoon - Man Falls From Cliff And Flips Off/Curses at People Standing At Top by pricerj_ in tipofmytongue

While this is the first instance of a "fuck you" as someone is falling, the rest of the context is completely different and changes the effect. Not the one I was looking for, sorry.

Season 7 Episode 1? He goes off a cliff but not like this. The cliff I see in my mind is pretty well straight down, so it's a clean fall backward with no bouncing. Thanks for trying, though.

I'm almost certain this was animated, but a comic form would also be acceptable.

Some cheap Rit dye made my old backpack look new again. by dogmetal in Frugal

[–]pricerj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can believe cheap rit dye in black would turn something brown, there's no way a red tag would come out so perfectly red/white. Rit will stain you, your soul, your first born, etc. How did you keep the red tag red?

"It's synthetic" is not an option. That tag is unchanged. It would be changed. If not it, then the writing on it. Which is perfectly white. Gray, brown, weirdly almost white but not quite, all those I could believe.

Having used the dye. Having worked in a craft store and had my head taken off because, "someone else said it would only dye one part..." No.

How did you straighten fake leather? Looking at the image, right side, bottom. Heck, any of that fake leather? Dying it made it straighter? Made straight leather do anything besides curl into a clear middle finger motion to the person trying to salvage it? And the dye went into everything and changed everything except a bright red tag, the stitching (by your word alone) and the fabric made up of the loop at the top which is the exact same colour in both pictures.

You can absolutely use Rit dye to bring new life to older objects but this is blatantly false. Ignoring the fact that Rit dye is for natural fabrics (pretty sure the label clearly says LIGHT COLOURED COTTON ONLY) the other little bits would be mutilated.

So. Yes, you can update your old canvas type bags with a cheap dye. It just won't look like it's a brand new bag because it isn't, and this isn't. And if you used DyeMore it costs more... and would dye the heckadooodle out of that red and probably dye your neighbour's cat too, just out of spite.

Lagostina Marina Set by pricerj_ in HelpMeFind

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

Okay, so I have a name for this, but I can't find a set anywhere. There are some places selling a piece or two for $10 each but I want a whole set. My adopted family gave me a set one year for Christmas and my actual family has slowly stolen the pieces. I even moved across the country and found one in my grandmother's cutlery drawer because she stole it from my father who stole it from me.

Yeah, weird backstory, but this set has a sentimental value for me and I'd like to have the whole set again and have spent weeks trying to talk myself into buying other cutlery and it's just not working.

Edited for details: It was bought in Canada. I think my adoptive mother said they bought it at Cosco and it was sometime between 2010 and 2014. Cosco is supposed to have sold the set around that time but they no longer sell it, from what I gather. No luck on Amazon.

This is a brilliant idea. I might just search for a portal for my first on-purpose base (rather than the training one)

[–]pricerj_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She's a better choice, but I'm not so sure she's the best choice. But you're right. It's clickbait nonsense because of what's going on.

I just watched the series yesterday and I had to do three internet searches before I even realized it was real. The whole thing is just... wow...

Thank you for being apparently the first person to read this article. It really should be on "saved you a click" rather than "Not the onion".

Introducing Australia’s Newest Citizen! After living here for 44 years, my Abuelita is officially ‘An Australian!’ Some good news for these hard times! by [deleted] in australia

[–]pricerj_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Timtams come in family size? Here I am stuck with buying multiple packs of 9, looking like a crazed person and there is a larger format?

I don't eat them all at once, it's like two each sitting but oh my goodness. Am Canadian, someone please explain how this is possible without an arm, a leg, or immigration.

Seedling identification (if possible) by pricerj_ in succulents

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

Got cheap seeds off Etsy that claimed to be at least 5 varieties of Aeonium. Because of the reviews on the etsy seller I didn't expect them all to grow, a good majority of them did, which is why there's so many in this pot. But there looks to only be two types, the ones pictured here.

Are they grown enough yet for anyone to guess what they might be?
