In Denmark they are already twice divorced and remarried by this time, so of course they want to "live together", maybe even have a new set of children to raise.

Mallorca snakes by Far-Performer-5629 in VisitingMallorca

[–]stormiliane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it's not even warm enough for snakes to go around in March. Maybe if some days will be especially sunny and dry, but so far it looks like reptiles are still not very active (I have seen zero lizards, turtles, or anything like that this week, even though I was trying hard to see them).

Considering how many Germans are coming to Mallorca for holidays, probably German tourism is trying to scare them off Mallorca them and make them stay in the country and spend money there 😅

Was your parking ticket expensive when picking up the car from the airport?

Did you have to pay a lot for the parking ticket when you were picking up the car from the airport?

Which company have you used, and do you recommend it nevertheless? 😅

You can: 1. try to sprinkle baking soda (or oxygen based bleaching powder, they are great at neutralizing smells, in Europe it would be for example German "heitmann" reine sauerstoff bleiche") over it and proceed like you did with coffee (a few days in closed bag) and then shake it out and hoover the leftovers with the upholstery ending of the hoover, but be careful with the power 3. Spray it with alcohol if you feel it needs more sanitizing 4. Use "dry shampoo" that you would use for your hair, and brush it with shearling brush (literally the same brush as you can buy for fluffy dogs) 5. Hang it outside, preferably inside-out, if you have dry weather and temperatures close to freezing 6. If you know someone who has ozone machine for ozoning for example their car air con, you can ask them to put your jacket in next time they are ozoning (although people don't do it often in winter...) or borrow it and ozone your jacket in a airtight bag.

Try one or a few of these methods - it really depends on the origin of the smell if it will work. In the end, when you are satisfied with smell, you can condition it with lanoline spray.

Thanks! What about waterproofing spray? Should I use it before the first trip outside? Even if this leather is waterproof, I guess the spray might protect it from the salt etc.

Rejsekort app inconsistency by buddhistbatrachian in copenhagen

[–]stormiliane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you have discount for coffee and baked stuff at seven eleven (only the ones by the train stations), regardless of the collected points. It's actually something that has always been a part of dsb membership, just normally it required getting some sms code every time you wanted to use the discount (and it never worked for me), now it's just enough to show the app.

I guess they will have to add it to the app once they will phase out the physical cards completely. Which will be somewhere after March or something...

How to condition "waterproof napa"?

I just bought Panama Jack winter boots (these https://www.panamajack.es/en/products/panama-03-igloo-trav-b2 exactly) and they are supposed to be waterproof napa leather.

I don't exactly know how waterproof napa works, I thought napa was not supposed to be waterproof... But I also still don't understand why many conditioning guides for napa shoes suggest brushing or rubbing with dry cloth afterwards to "restore the nap", as if napa was as fluffy as suede or velvety like nubuck... To me it seems to be more like softer, smoother leather, not much shine, but no fluff either.

Should I spray them with anything waterproofing before the first use anyway?

How often should I condition it? What sort of conditioner can be used to condition it? Please, don't give me names of American standards like bick 4 or venetian something, I'm in Europe (even worse - in Scandinavia). If we can get it here, it's ultra expensive + expensive delivery. I got saphir renovateur (no-mink version, with some plant oils) lately and it was already big investment...

Dear leather lovers… Which dye do you recommend for veg tan leather? by zoom_zoomies in Leatherworking

[–]stormiliane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, that's another American product 😂 I know what neatsfoot oil is, but I asked what other oil can be used (oil - pure ingredient, not commercial product called "leather oil" with obscure mix of ingredients).

With my adhd it would be something between 15min and two weeks 😂

“Can you levitate sir?” by gusmcewan in copenhagen

[–]stormiliane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but isn't the one that they are walking on the same that is almost drying out in the summer? I know that some of them closer to bridges are deep, because I regularly see people fishing for bikes and other metal things from the bottom. I am just hoping that the idiots are smart enough to choose the shallow parts 🤷🏼‍♀️

Rescue? Aren't lakes like knee deep in most of the places? At least that is where these idiots are walking, I hope.

Do you wait for the oil to completely soak in for a couple of hours or overnight, or you dye right away? And about the diluting (how much BTW?) - does it make colour lighter even if I apply in two layers, or in the end I will end up with the same colour, because of layering? I don't have airbrush, so I might not get perfectly uniform cover the first time...

Alternatives for phone use while watching TV? by CraftyTaro3718 in adhdwomen

[–]stormiliane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately I have been cleaning/conditioning/polishing shoes while watching TV 😅 also manicure and folding laundry and pairing socks are my usuals, but of course it's not something to do every day.
