Nice, animals but naming!?!?

I was a little tempted to buy one of the frogs, they are so cute!! The only thing I don't get is why they are label "rare" and "basic" like are these like colectables?!?! Same with the tarantulas. Also would love if they had cards by the things with care instructions as they have a sign about not forgetting their house. (Would be great as I am curious about these cute little things.) Well that is all I have to say. Also live petco, I have bought so much from them. (Anything from pet food to their live animals, and enclosures)

Any ideas?

I have a collection of these plastic miniverse capsules. I am likely going to donate the tiny tables, as someone can likely use them as dollhouse furniture. I just don't know what to do with the capsules. Anyone got ideas?

Brother keeps jamming

This brother sewing machine I got myself for Christmas last year keeps jamming every few stitchs which is getting annoying, as I am in the middle of a big project, where I am redoing some old outdoor chairs. I am sewing some cheap outdoor canvas with a 90/14 needle and 12wt polyester bonded thread. The specific machine is the brother FB1757X w/ extension table. I am specifically using the brother for the extension table, as I have an old kenmore that I recently picked up, that is my daily sewer. The Brother has been relegated to stuff that needs a table or when I want to annoy everyone. I hope someone can help me figure out what is going on, so I can get this project done soon. Here are some pictures. Also, Yes, I am putting the presserfoot down, I just have it lifted to show the jams. I have the top tension dial set at 4, which is what Always seems to work.

Diy DVD storage

Here is my diy dvd rack I just installed, hoping it holds up, as I was going to get a picture yesterday, but the epoxy i use failed, so fingers crossed this new repair holds... This build was inspired by the old IKEA metal wall racks. I like idea, just the price wasn't right for my ever evolving collection.

The rack itself is made of metal from an old shelf that was getting replaced, as it was a cheap thing that failed. Then we had part of a tree fall in a recent storm, so I took some of it and made something. I think it turned out decent for a few day project, and has just enough room for another dvd or two.

The one image shows the prototype by the finished product. I will likley have to get a second one made sooner than later though... Also feel free to judge the movies and music I have on the rack so far.

GE model 3-5015D

Today I bought a used GE model 3-5015D casstte recorder and player, for a crazy $1. The unit needs a new set of belts, and I really don't want to spend $30 on a belt kit for the thing, and can't find what size belts it takes. Any help is appreciated.

Help finding an old tool

Recently I was told by a family member that they really want this one tool. I am assuming it is Snap-on but could be any other brand. (As I know they like most snap-on tools, and frequented one of there trucks often.) They say it is a standard interchangeable bit screwdriver, but it had a spot on the back of the handle that a standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet can clip in. I have looked online, but can't find anything. I have even asked AI to see if it could help, but it didn't really work. (It tried) I really hope someone here can help me find this so I can gift it to them.

DaVinci Resolve not working

Can't get Davinci Resolve to load

​

I downloaded a copy of Davinci Resolve for linux, I installed it, but when I try to launch it, it loads for a bit and "crashes" It is version 20.3

​

I have used Davinci Resolve when I ran windows, (not really long enough to fully figure it out) but I recently switched to linux (as windows 11 pro and my computer stopped getting along.). I am running Arch linux with the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

My computer is a Coolby YealBook X 14" notebook laptop from 2023. The specs are 14-inch FHD 1220\*1080 screen with intel celeron j4005 processor 14nm, 2 cores 2 threads. 12gb of High-Speed RAM and 256 ssd. I doubt this is important but it has 2.4/5g Dual-band WIFI and Bluetooth 5.1 and a 34.2wh battery.

​

(it is using intel integrated graphics)

​

I tried installing graphics drivers for Davinci with this cammand:

​

`sudo pacman -S mesa libva-intel-driver libva-utils vulkan-intel`

​

​

But, I am still having the same problem.

​

I tried posting on the DaVinci Resolve subreddit, but they just roasted me, and then my post was removed. The reason they sighted was "not enough info" and I provided ALL the info I have! I really didn't have any clue, but after a Few MONTHS of research later I think it is a problem with wayland? Hope someone can help here. Thanks in advance!

Satin discolored?

Yesterday at Walmart I bought 2 yards if 100% polyester costume satin. When I unpacked it, it had all kinds of creases, so I ironed it, but you can still see where it was creased and I also notice some spots in the middle of the fabric where the fibers are separating. (I ironed it without steam, and with the iron on the polyester setting) Any recommendations for what I should do with this fabric, and maybe where I can get better fabric in the future? Also has anyone had this issue?

Interesting antiquing find

A little while ago I was at a local antique store, that had this record, it was in better condition when I got it. Sadly it was water damaged, the record is fine, but the cover less so. I am wondering if anyone would have a digital version, either on youtube or soundcloud, or something. (I do have access to a record player, it is just not that convenient, so I would like to avoid it right now) I know I found one of the pieces on youtube at one point, but can't find it anymore. I don't want to spend too much time trying to hunt down a recording, as I have spent too much time trying to find a different song earlier this year. Thank you in advance!

Need help finding good wired headphones

For the past few years, I have been using cheap Bluetooth headphones, that have the option to use them wired. The problem I am running into, is I need to replace my headphones and can't find anything that 100% fits the bill anymore. All I can find online is ANC headphones, that sound like absolute garbage, and are way over-priced. The only real retailer near me is Walmart and they only really sell earbuds and kid's on-ears. My thing is I don't like the idea of stuffing things in my ears, and earbud reliability is a problem for me, as I hate large amounts of e-waste and in my opion that is what earbuds are. I also can't stand on-ear headphones for long listening sessions, and that is what I mainly use headphones for. I watch YouTube videos, listen to music, (on the web, and CDs and cassettes). I am looking for wired headphones, as if I want Bluetooth, I have a few pairs of Bluetooth only headphones. So the headphones I need/like are close backed over-ear headphones. I was looking on amazon, and really the only headphones that aren't kids headphones are studio monitors, and I am wondering if they would be okay for casual music listening.

I was looking at the Fifine brand, but am thinking against it, but maybe y'all will convince me otherwise. I then was looking at Sony's line-up, and have ruled them out, as I am sensitive to high frequencies. I am thinking of the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X as I need replaceable cables. I am also looking at the AKG Pro Audio K371 and AKG Pro Audio K361, which I am leaning towards. I listen to things on multiple devices, so they need to be easy to drive. I have recently been into listening to podcasts.

I listen to a large variety of music, but a good amount will fall between this group of music: cups pitch perfect's when I'm gone - Anna Kendrick, Adele, Folsom Prison Blues, Katy Perry, Bug hunter, It by Elliot, Walter and Bennett, and Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day.

My price is under $200 USD but preferably $100 USD or less. (I am based in the US) Here is my list of absolute musts:

  • wired, over-ear, closed-back
  • comfort over hours
  • no tinny sound
  • vocals sounding natural
  • sane cable length (ideally 1.2 meters or 4 feet)
  • replaceable cables
  • easy to drive from lots of devices

I hope one of you can help me decide what pair of headphones to buy or recommend something that would fit my needs better! I am currently leaning toward the AKG K371, as I was thinking of the K361, but can't find a good source for replacement cables.

I have tried posting this here, but there weren't any really helpful replies, and I want advice from people that actually know headphones. Sorry for the repost, if that is a problem. (I have waited over 24 hours as rule #4 says, as I have been trying to be patient)

I found this Kenmore sewing machine at goodwill yesterday, and cleaned it up. The thing looks wonderful and has most of the things that would have come with the machine, except the instructions. Today I threaded it up and tried sewing some stuff. It did not work at first but quickly found I had a dial set wrong, and after adjusting it, it sews nicely. I am just wondering if this machine is supposed to sound like this or if something needs adjusting. I am also wondering what needles this machine takes, will brother brand work? (Just wondering about if brother sewing machine needles would work as I have a brother machine with a bunch of needles.)

In the video I am using whatever needle came with the machine and some coats and clark 100% cotton quilting thread. I am just waiting to change the needle when I oil everything as I have to buy oil.
