    • Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later and I guess I'll be the one to start the shitstorm…

      How do you care for your denim?

      If I'm wearing my jeans all week at work and play, I'll soak in a small bucket with Woolite Dark, and then wash out the soap by hand. I have a job where I'm in a myriad of environments, from smoked fish companies to peanut butter factories to hospitals and pacemaker manufacturers, so walking into the latter smelling like the former is not good, so I wash pretty much weekly

      Once in awhile I'll do something stupid, like drink a pitcher of sangria and blow chunks on my jeans or chase my ex into the Pacific and get them filthy (no, it wasn't to drown her...I didn't have that foresight), and I'll chuck them in the washer with some Woolite Dark and wash them on their own. I do something stupid on a quarterly basis

      I always air dry, right side out, because I find when they're stiff and dry after, if I flip them inside out they lose their stiffness.

      Your turn!!!

    • RE: Villains (Buying/ Selling/Trading)

      Ok, I'm stepping in now that we have established a history of this behavior

      Joubin, this forum is built on respect and courtesy, to which is a two way street

      You're holding up people's sales. When you say you're going to buy something, you're actually held at your word. And on an internet forum, your word is all you have.

      Clearly you're not getting this.

      I'm going to clarify two of your statements you've posted

      One, if you tell someone that you're going to buy their item, it's expected you pay up immediately. This is pretty common sense.

      Two, a seller is allowed to get upset with you if you've been jerking them around for days. To think that you deserve to be treated well after the level of disrespect you've displayed to your fellow forum members is insane at best

      Your reputation as a "Villian" is well deserved.

      Sellers: beware

      Since I've been given carte blanche on this issue, I request two things:

      One, if anyone observes this behaviour again, please contact me

      Two, Joubin, if you disagree with anything I've said here, feel free to hit the "Logout" button and not come back here again

    • RE: Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?

      I have no idea what Till just said, but I think the chain stitch run offs look like bike handle tassels for your ass

      does anyone here watch blindspot?

      Yup. The newest season is better than the last two.

      Weird seeing Sullivan Stapleton playing an uptight character after playing Damien Scott in Strike Back

    • RE: Watches - another OCD problem

      I’m jealous. I was looking at that watch but when I tried it on it looked like I zip tied an instrument cluster to my 6.75” wrist. My wrists are just too small for it.

      I stuck a karambit half an inch into the meaty part of my hand and had to superglue the tip of my ring finger back on on another occasion

    • RE: Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

      @neph93:

      This issue has raised some uncomfortable questions in the education sector in Norway. At my level (16-19 yo) the Norwegian government has pushed through a very unpopular policy regarding attendance. If you miss more the 10% of scheduled teaching in a class you lose your grade completely. The students hated it, but it was extremely effective. It has helped massively in lowering the drop-out rate and improving the attainment of the bottom 50% of students.

      When corona hit all that went out the window. While teachers were able to use net based tech to teach effectively the students who needed it the most vanished and we had no recourse to track absentee-ism, or routines for getting them assessed. The ability to audit the participation and engagement  of weak or unmotivated students that you get from seeing them three times a week was suddenly gone.

      Any move towards devolving schooling at this level to digital platforms and away from physical places of work is going to need a small revolution.

      We’re encountering the same problem in the govt training sector. We have limited mechanisms to measure engagement, the few we do have are questionable in effectiveness, and exam security is out the window.

      On the flip side of that my productivity has gone through the roof (I work on the administrative side of our training organization). The fact I don’t have to deal with people wandering into my office complaining about random shit has opened up a lot of time in my day.
