We can stop birth right citizenship because we don't have jurisdiction over them

So we don't have jurisdiction to deport them?

Even red ones?

It takes effort

I like the look of waxed canvas, I've been buying bags that are waxed because I think they look neat after they get older and they are water resistant. They have been around a long time but maybe more for people who work outdoors or in rainy areas. A lot of the videos I found were mainly focused on welders

There's also this spray you can put on stuff after you wash them and they are damp, it's likenwhat they put on windbreaker jackets to make them water proof or tents. Probably full of pfa's now that I think about it though

I recommend finding some denim at like a thrift shop to try it out first, it took me several attempts and it still isn't great but I think i got the method down better

The first time I used a hair dryer but it didnt melt the wax enough to soaks in then later the jacket was all Crunchy with white everywhere, the second time I used a hot air gun and it worked much btter

It's been a process trying to figure it out, the first time I thought i applied too much and it was all white and nasty when I hung it out in the sun, turns out i didn't apply enough heat for it to melt in. I ended up washing it with dish soap and a brush in the sink.

I started using an actual heat gun the second attempt and thought I was heating it too much and it was evaporating but I guess you just need to do a ton of wax as it soaks in and looks flat until you do several coats to get that shiny smooth look I wanted. I basically started rubbing it in a lot harder like in the second image but the bar started to run out.

If I started from scratch it'll probably take like two bars for the jacket.

The little tooth brush thing from otter helped a ton to smooth in the wax chunks and brush lint out as I went. No idea how long it lasts but you need to reapply like once a year according to youtube.

This video helped me out a lot and random comments from reddit, I also threw it in the dryer for like 10 minutes against the videos recommendations but some other video said it helped even it all out so I was desperate and tried it and it helps get rid of the sticky feel and a lot of the white spots that showed up when the wax dried

Like how people eat eggs or drink cow milk, things are weird but people do it anyway

[–] neatobuilds 3 points 1 day ago

Awesome, how do you find enough spider eggs to fill it though

Someone added a ton of cunk to my server and I've been so confused about what it is and now it's on my lemmy!

Hello I am looking to self host my own pixelfed account just because I like self hosting and like sharing pics.

I saw there is a sign in with mastodon option on the pixelfed site and was curious if I host a mastodon instance instead, could I then use pixelfed with the same account?

I have a lemmy, mastodon, and pixelfed account right now and from doing a few experiments it seems mastodon has the best federation with both pixelfed and lemmy as far as commenting back and forth so it would be pretty neat to use a mastodon instance if that is possible
