And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.

Yes. You're not supposed to dry things in direct sunlight, because that makes the colors fade. Having them outside in the warm air is enough.

Yeah, I'd use that. But it also uses at least one tool I don't have. Show of hands, who has the ability to mount eyelets on a tennis ball?

If you did, you could make some money selling those and things like them to hipsters at a local market.

Friend Tennis Ball is adorable, and also a really interesting case study in internet apocrypha. Try and find the original DIY with the eyelets - you can't. All there are are imitations, usually using googly eyes like this monstrosity:



The original is so clean-looking and so un-source-able I'm starting to wonder if it's just a CGI product rendering

I think the most adorable thing about the Friend Wall Balls is that they've obviously taken care to mount the eyes for optimal derp.

Look for Postmaster General's Seal

Every new mailbox design should be reviewed and receive the Postmaster General’s (PMG) seal of approval before it goes to market. If you opt to construct your own mailbox, it must meet the same standards as manufactured boxes, so show the plans to your local postmaster for approval.


Who Owns your Mailbox?

Homeowners need to be aware that even though they purchased and maintain the residential mailbox, the mailbox belongs to and is controlled by the USPS (United States Postal Service). That means that any tampering of the mailbox is a federal offense.

Xactos are the best way, easily cuts through that first layer of plastic like it was butter, and if you hurt yourself opening it that way you deserve to bleed out.

Am I the only one who has a dedicated kitchen drawer for plastic bags? Whenever I come home with one I just fold it and toss it in there, and then never use it again because I usually bring a tote bag along when I go shopping (because I'm a cheapskate and gently caress paying ten cents for a bag).

Where in the hell do you live and/or shop where you have to pay for plastic bags? Most stores literally give those things away!

Enjoy it while it lasts. Where I live (Vancouver Island) there's now a 5 cent enviro fee on every bag to encourage us to use reusable bags.

The thing is when the sales tax on your groceries is more than the cost of those bags, you never really give a gently caress.

In fact, the cost of the bags is less than the difference between PST and GST where I shop.

Italy. Every single grocery store here charges you something like five or ten (euro) cents per plastic bag.
