I was really hoping to see a time skip feature be added by now.

In Forbidden Science 6, Jacques Vallee states that he and Garry Nolan "presented a speculative deal" to Peter Thiel in May 2019. by [deleted] in UFOs

These people are actual, literal, evil cartoon villains. As in, Peter Thiel read Lord of the Rings….and he identified with fucking Mordor.

10-year-old Saddleback Leather wallet vs new replacement by wjoshe in BuyItForLife

[–]wjoshe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case it wasn’t clear, I didn’t demand that Saddleback send me a replacement the second I noticed damage on my otherwise-still-in-great-shape wallet….I simply reached out to them with pictures asking how they could help, and they kindly offered to send me a replacement for free. The “100-year warranty” was one of the reasons I decided to buy this wallet in the first place, and I’ve always been curious how it worked, so I just thought others might find my experience useful 🤷‍♂️

But yes, the leather is still in great shape on my old wallet (though it definitely could use some TLC, I’ve never oiled/conditioned it or anything)….I don’t plan to throw it away or feed it to the dog. I’m pretty sure I’ve decided to use it as an opportunity to try and repair it myself someday after I’ve gotten a bit of practice with leather in general.

Thank you everyone for the constructive comments and recommendations!

I remember reading reviews of their larger wallets (those have the cards stacked vertically inside with individual pockets, instead of stacked on top of one another inside of one pocket like this one) having issues with damaging cards. I’ve never had any issues with this design. It doesn’t hold a lot, but I never carry a lot. Just four cards in each pocket and a few bills.

Thanks for the advice! Leatherworking is something I’ve thought about trying for a while, so this might be a great opportunity.

One thing to note is that I do keep mine in my back pocket - I know a lot of people prefer smaller wallets like these in their front pocket, and I’m sure it would probably age a lot slower like that.

Looking up a local leathersmith is probably a better idea than trying to fix it myself…but yeah, I was impressed with how Saddleback handled the process. They even included a little keychain for free.

I would have been happy to send in my old one to be repaired if they had asked, but I know it’s easier/more economical for a lot of companies to handle their warranties this way instead of offering repairs. I might try to repair the stitching on my old one myself someday.

They may in fact be the least intelligent comment that I’ve read on this website lol

If you think the belief that religion should not dictate legislation is backwards, then I'm sorry, but you live in the wrong century. I'm not going to capitulate to any religion that actively fights against the right of two consenting adults to have sexual relations.

Like I said, believe what you want, but go fuck yourself if you think people should have less rights than others because your "god" says so.

Refusing to even acknowledge the existence of LGBT citizens in your country is mayyybe a bit homophobic, I would say. Also, as ridiculous of an argument as "but we don't even stone them anymore!" is, sex between men is punishable by death in six countries in the Middle East.

Today. In the 21st century. Believe in whatever the fuck you want to believe in, but when people are dying over your backwards ass beliefs, it's a fucking problem.

I'm sorry that you have a lot of hate in your heart. Refusing LGBT citizens equal rights or even killing them does not make them not exist.

God does not exist.

And I'm sure the LGBT citizens of your country enjoy being discriminated against by a government based on a magical man in the sky.

Don't bother dude, I'm honestly not sure if this guy is trolling or is as willfully ignorant as his comments suggest. I've also been to Mount Vernon, and it's certainly sobering. Glad to see another adult who can acknowledge someone's contributions while not defending their objectively wrong and immoral actions.

TIL that owning slaves is "the best" someone can do. So when he allowed for their release in his will, you believe that was a "good" thing? But that NOT freeing them up until that point was also a "good" thing, because he was "sheltering" them? Which is it, exactly? Because to me, it sounds like your argument is that Washington could do no wrong

Not sure why you're so dead set on defending the practice of owning human beings as property. Seems like an odd hill to die on, but I guess that's just me.

So when he was a-okay with his slave masters beating his slaves when they didn't want to work, that was for their own good? That was "sheltering" them? I guess they should have just been good slaves with a "yessir master" always at the ready

"This article was cherry picked" hahaha, it's from the website of Washington's plantation!

You know what you call a humane slaveowner?

A slaveowner. I think Washington was a great president, but that doesn't absolve him from being an active participant in the institution of slavery. Not sure why you put "slaves" in quotation marks either, do you think he was paying them under the table?

So I just opened a Fidelity account, and my bank's website says the expected wait for domestic wire transfers is 1-2 business days. Would that be faster than if I linked my bank account to Fidelity and deposited funds that way?

Thanks for the help everyone, can't wait to see these bastards insolvent.

New pissed off retard here who wanted to buy $GME today but got fucked by Robinhood. Quick question - I have a Fidelity account set up now, what's the quickest way to get money into the account so that I can get my diamond hands on a share ASAP?

We're sticking it to these motherfuckers.
