Orbituary

It really isn’t about optimism. I know prices would go up no matter what. But it does allow a bit more passive control without being a twat about leaving carts out.

I wasn’t aware of the shopping cart theory. Thanks, now I have a name for my belief. :)

I learned this as a kid working at a grocery store asking the same question. When you leave your cart by your car instead of returning it, it takes labor to collect the carts around the parking lot. That labor costs money to the company. That money gets passed on to you as a customer buying products.

The 30-45 seconds it takes to return your cart may seem inconvenient. Rinse, wash, repeat a thousand times in your life. Multiply that by millions of people nationwide across all grocery stores. That adds up.

Stop being lazy. It’s not hard to return the cart. If we all did it, it would passively reduce labor costs. That could potentially reduce price hikes on food.

Your second example is not honesty; it’s cowardice.

Getting your ideas from Elon I see.

Why do people ask questions like this? Isn’t, “Which worthwhile FOSS projects are underfunded?” a better way to say it?

It’s just so kludgy.

Federation didn’t create lemmy.

Well-intentioned condolences aren’t made publicly to curry favor.

Examples? Links?

Go to a bar?

So, you’re saying that OP, asking for advice on a simple clear coat, should just wing it and try to color match then paint the rubbed off copper themselves?

Cool. Great advice.

Nail polish needs UV to cure properly and it becomes glassy and will break over time. It might bond with the surface of the clip and pull little bits of paint up with it, making it look worse… and that’s only if it doesn’t get gooped on and look runny afterward.

You could, but I think that if you preserve it as-is, you’ll be happier.

I work on vintage guitars and other instruments. Wear and tear is called “patina,” which I’m sure you’ve heard. In years to come, you’ll come to enjoy that little bit that’s gone away… but if you try to fix it, it might get worse and you’ll end up like Calvin trying to cut his own hair.

It’s a lost art form because it’s not easy to work with and you often have to buy it from specialty stores to get the good stuff. It’s made from insect carapaces. I use it when refinishing guitars for an aged, amber appearance.

Get clear coat spray. Test a little in a spot that isn’t visible to make sure it doesn’t react with the surface negatively. Spray some onto cloth that won’t leave behind fibers or you’ll be sad, then wipe a little on a corner and make sure the material and surface coloring don’t react or run.

After you’ve let it dry, check it.

Hang it from a wire or something so you can get all sides in one pass.

Spray clear coat LIGHTLY.

Like… SUPER LIGHTLY. One small pass. Let it dry. Spray from about 6-8 inches from the clip and move your hand in one direction smoothly… left to right or whatever. Don’t do the hairspray thing where you’re just dousing it.

Look at the clip again, make sure you’re not messing it up.

Spray again LIGHTLY.

You don’t want to build up a thick goop on the outside or it will be awful looking and you’ll ruin your thing.

Let it dry.

Don’t handle it while it’s drying.

Did I mention to spray LIGHTLY? (It will make all the difference).

Don’t do this.

Edit: People, read my post. I’m saying this from experience. Don’t do this. Putting “maybe a couple of coats” of nail polish is a recipe for OP ruin their object if done poorly.

Don’t down vote me because you don’t like my tone. I’m trying to protect OP’s little treasure. Stop being so damned reactive and sensitive.

Yes. I started with 50/month using Autopilot to get in on the Pelosi investment portfolio. I am up 18% for the year.

No they don’t typically do that despite your belief that they do. My point stands. If it were singular, the question would be moot.

I didn’t contradict what you just typed despite what you think I intended.

Why don’t you just write “children” instead of 'child(ren)" since this really isn’t relevant if it’s an only child receiving everything.

Are you the child in question, perchance?

To be clear, it’s probably not ethical, but it’s also their choice who gets what.
