First World Problems...

featherpoke26.jpg

Big Feather has conspired with Big Cushion to create the perfect cartel-like business stream. Big Feather sells Big Cushion feathers whose ends have been carefully machined to poke through conventional fabrics with ease. Then Big Cushion does not use fabrics that are resistant to those needle-like feathers.

It's brilliant! The cushions lose fill while simultaneously irritating the sh*t out of the consumer, who replaces the cushions in a vain attempt to avoid getting poked and prodded by Big Feather's products.

One day the people will rise up and end this cruelty.

We already replaced the washer we bought when we built the house 5 years ago. It was cheaper than the little plastic part that broke. Crazy town.

We also just replaced our dishwasher. I went ahead and bought exactly what I wanted to replace it.

22 I turned some cheap store pillows into higher end pillows by sewing them into some light cotton ticking. The filling is all Holofill, and the main issue is the fabric for the envelope.
They are pretty nice and I don't have to deal with the crinkly "fabric" that they came with.
Eventually they will get as flat as a really flat thing you don't want to sleep on, and then I can undo the seam, wash the ticking well, and sew them onto other cheap-o pillows. Or feather pillows I guess.

Posted by: m at July 12, 2026 02:11 PM (6wpGE)

25 ALSE shop in the .mil used to maintain all the survival kit and life raft swag.

One thing they had, was a blaze orange 6 pound nylon ripstop goose-down sleeping bag that the factory compressed under tons of pressure and installed in a case about the size of a laptop. To be opened only in emergency, naturally. It was unreal. But through getting jostled and worn, eventually it would start to fray.

So I snagged one of the bags, because they were going to be discarded or whatever place they go to in the gaping DOD maw. They had to use only the finest goose down to make these, a single pin feather would probably turn it into a doily upon extraction. It’s a great sleeping bag for cold dry conditions.

Funny, both here and in California, I'd find an alarming number flies in the house a few times a year. They would congregate on the screens, so I'd close the window, then pop the screen from outside to shoo them out.

My washer stopped working and I wound up taking it to the backyard to try to fix it. In the end I think it was a badly fitting door sensor, but I took the opportunity to clean the cabinet by washing it and sanding down and treating the rust spots so I could spray paint them white.
This machine I bought used, it is pre-digital, and honestly if it were a car it would have four different tires, since it was clearly rebuilt with non-OEM parts.
Washing machines are not complicated, they are the pretty much "tab A goes into tab B" and the trick is to identify what the part is that goes bad, and whether you can find something to replace it.

Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at July 12, 2026 02:22 PM (4mmkh)

51 from some fabric site

"What Is Ticking Fabric?
The word ‘Ticking’ originates from the 1940’s where they would use ‘Tick’ a densely woven herringbone cloth to cover mattresses for utility use. This would ensure the feathers and straw would not poke through when in use. The stripe was then developed over time to the classic striped herringbone look of the ticking fabric we see today. Not only is the stripe attractive but it makes the fabric durable and highly practical."

My favorite Terry Pratchett short story was about how they bought fly strips for the flies, and hung one from the curtain rod in the window, which tempted the cat to attack it, which after much rolling and panicking turned into a cat completely immobilized by a fly strip. They had to soak the cat in the sink to get it unstuck.

Don't hang the fly strips anywhere you might run into one by accident with your head

He also praises McMaster as governor while taking some shots on Nikki Haley:

“…moved her over to the United Nations, 95% percent of my doing that, because the Untied Nations job was not exactly tough, it can be important, she did OK at it… but I did it because Henry McMaster was the Lt. Governor and by moving her I got myself a really great (governor) Henry McMaster is a really good governor, really good guy. So he’ll do the right thing.”

108 Captured flies can be flash frozen in the freezer.

When you’re 10, it is fascinating to watch them thaw out, they look dead … and then start to twitch their legs a bit. Eventually they start a preflight with wings and the rest of it.

Yes, you can buy them from horse supply places, I'm sure Amazon has them. These are often 10 inch wide rolls of sticky paper. Too windy here to use them normally but I tear them off to about a 10" square and tape where flies congregate. I have seen the 1.5 inch across fly paper rolls as well under fly control on horse product sites.

174 It helps to cultivate a relationship with your carrier if you can, if you have a regular delivery guy. A bottle of something suitable for the holidays, a gift card, some cigars, you get the idea.

They can “sign” for you, and deliver things to the secret box behind the azaleas, things like that.

Remember during the lockdowns? Signature deliveries went away altogether. Chuck it over the fence, etc.

176 One of the pleasures of Florida living is online cigar orders deliveries don't require a signature. Hated missing the UPS guy in California. Those email notifications were next-to-useless. A few times I had to trek to the distribution center. Guy there must have gotten busted for handing a package over to a minor, because he always wanted to see my ID, despite my obvious 29+ laps around the sun...
