500 dollars for a basic belt my leather working mates would do as a training exercise for the new hires? They did not even punch the holes well.

Wish I could pull off cons at that level.
I wish I could do something more than liking this post. I'd give gold if it was Reddit.

One of the previous posters appears to have dropped the better part of 500 dollars on a belt. Is it some fancy belt with back supports, holders, rated for climbing or anything like that? Seemingly not. Just a basic belt from a fashion house.

To make matters worse the quality of the things done on it are quite literally what my friends that do leather work for a living would use as a training exercise for the new trainees, give or take the middling/higher quality leather being used for that one. Also looking at the holes punched they were not done especially well, and now that I take a closer look I am not sure if it was a roller or press used for the pattern but it has seen better days. The only thing more basic in terms of techniques for leather work is probably a key fob.

For what a proper leather worker can do have a look at some stuff on

If it is what floats that poster's boat then so be it but it seems like a con to me.

Recently got an OG DS, a GBA, and a GBC.
Along with Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Pokemon Gold

I'm a sucker for the OG DS systems. Have a few dozen I think. I've been playing the remake of MLSS for the 3DS and its fun.

Just picked up a Silver Pocket. When they are near mint to mint, I like to buy em.:bow: Silver is one of my favorites, actually like the first version pocket with the chrome sides on the screen protector. Who needs an led staring at them anyway. :wtf:

I'm trying to learn basic leatherwork, and it's so hard. There's a local shop that sells leatherworking stuff, and I want to make a belt....

Bought earlier this week the walking dead a new frontier for $10 sealed and bought my first tarantula.

The tarantula is a Honduran curly hair. It was $25 for a quarter sized sling (spiderling). Getting it Saturday.
It takes about 4 to 5 years to get to full size.

I've wanted one since I was a kid. It was cheap so I got one. Plus I rather get an animal as a baby and rise them up and at least like this I know it's age.

It's not like it takes up a lot of space and I have the feeder insects for it cause of my leopard geckos.

And honestly I would rather get a emperor scorpion because it's basically a tank but it's illegal to own them where I live. And when it comes to animals I do everything legal.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
