Catoblepas,

So it’s bad for a movie to make you laugh, and also you laugh when you’re triggered. Got it.

Catoblepas,

Why should people be triggered by “Hollywood crapolla”? This reminds me of that bit John Waters has about how a lady called the cops after renting Pink Flamingos.

Why don’t they just turn it off if it’s offensive? Thats what I did when “Forrest Gump” started running.

[Request] How Should I Repair this Coat?

I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It’s a tiny rip, but I don’t want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39%...

Catoblepas,

There’s a lot of really good channels on YouTube by people who are a lot more knowledgeable than me! The one I watch the most is more embroidery focused, but Sarah Homfray has YEARS of videos on stitching techniques that are pretty well categorized in playlists.

Catoblepas, (edited )

Not sure what level of expertise you’re looking for, so sorry if you already know all this!

Edit: just realized I’m illiterate and that your post says INSTEAD OF a simple patch, not that you want to do a patch. 🤦‍♂️ Leaving this up in case the unnecessary spiel about how to do a patch in this situation helps someone else, lol. Although you can definitely incorporate a patch into a visible mend as well!

Are you set on the patch, or are you open to doing just decorative stitches over it? At that size something like a satin stitch or long and short stitch should hold it together well. Just be sure to give a bit of room between the edge of the hole and your stitches so that the fraying doesn’t extend into the stitching and undo it.

If you want to do the patch instead, probably the fussiest part is going to be getting the patch up to the edge of the pocket without awkwardly covering or stitching over the pocket, while also taking your stitching far enough away from the tear to keep it from fraying further. Probably all there is to do about that is pin the hell out of it while you’re sewing so that it lies nice and flush and navigate your needle under just the bottom layer of fabric under the pocket as best you can, if that makes sense.

For stitches to use with patches, I like to keep it simple and use running stitches, whip stitches, or backstitches. Backstitching takes more time but is really secure, running stitches are quicker and not quite as secure but I’ve never had them fall off in the wash or anything like that. Whip stitches are a nice medium of quick but secure and prevent fraying.

Catoblepas,

And have a consistent, unchanging favorite food that you use for security questions.

Today my favorite food is cheesecake. Tomorrow it might be bagels. It’s definitely nothing I’ve ever used for a security question.

Catoblepas,

Your towel is still going to have shit germs on it, you’re just not going to see them.

Catoblepas,

👋

Catoblepas,

The Cheesus Jesus is under the tomato sauce. Lurking.

You are inventing a reason for not eating anything when OP said nothing about that, and ignored me pointing out multiple things can cause people to lose appetite. Thanks for not subjecting me to any more of the same, at least!

By the way, people can tell you edited your comment to try to sneakily call me pro-anorexia after I made my comment.

Catoblepas,

I am on blahaj, I literally can’t downvote you.

‘Just don’t think about it’ is a pretty terrible way to deal with eating disorders as well. Which this might not even be the case, as there are plenty of other things that manifest in a lack of appetite, not all of which are even mental illnesses.

Catoblepas,

The doctors gave him the all clear!

Catoblepas,

The amount of polar bear shit in that building must be incredible.

Catoblepas,

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NTS_-_Plumbob_-_Stokes_test_with_Goodyear_ZSG-3_blimp.jpg It was an unmanned blimp flown near a test site to see what would happen, basically.

Catoblepas,

Seems like the man himself disagrees with you, since he saw it as a big enough problem to get professional help and make long lasting changes. 🤷‍♂️

Catoblepas,

Buy a $10 oven thermometer and check your oven rack positions, sounds like it’s running way hotter than intended. If you have a convection oven the cook time may need to be adjusted.

Catoblepas,

… you gotta defund my friends?

Google Researchers’ Attack Prompts ChatGPT to Reveal Its Training Data (www.404media.co)

ChatGPT is full of sensitive private information and spits out verbatim text from CNN, Goodreads, WordPress blogs, fandom wikis, Terms of Service agreements, Stack Overflow source code, Wikipedia pages, news blogs, random internet comments, and much more....

Catoblepas,

Lol.

Catoblepas,

Aren’t you going to credit ChatGPT?

Catoblepas,

I was taught to use milk rather than water, but that’s basically right. Butter doesn’t hurt either if you’re making it without cooking sausage first, but the sausage might have enough fat on its own.

Catoblepas,

TNG should be nice and fuzzy, like the display on a 25” 90s TV.

Catoblepas,

And by the way, id like to see you make an effort to create that AI image of Clusters revenge at the same quality I’ve seen other AI images. I can almost guarantee you it will take you more effort than it took to create this.

Yeah, typing sounds like a lot more effort than typing.

Catoblepas,

My favorites are mostly classics: Alien, Return of the Living Dead, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version has Leonard Nimoy!), Shaun of the Dead, The Thing (1982), Tremors, and Hellraiser usually make my rewatch list.

Catoblepas,

If you haven’t seen Color Out of Space you’d probably enjoy it as well!

Catoblepas,

Looks like the default iOS weather app.

Catoblepas,

You know you can’t not dissect it now, right? The people (me) want to know if it’s the same color all the way through or if it’s got rings!
