Have a unique problem.

I bought some seat cover protectors that were supposed to be fitted but were a bit loose and had a ton of bulk. After redoing a few seams and trimming a ridiculous amount of bulk (i mean like an inch of seam allowance in some places) they fit almost perfectly. Only problem is I have these junctions left over where multiple pieces were joined together that stick out really far. It is a PVC/vinyl material with foam backing so I can't just iron them down and I can't just cut them because there are seams in them. They push the fabric out and keep it from laying into the creases tho so what can I do about these things?

Injured? Unique coloration.

Saw this juvenile eating with is parents and sibling in my yard. It's coloration is a bit different to the derps I normally see in my area. But when it turned It's head something looked off, I can't tell if it was injured or if maybe it just got part of It's head wet or if it's some kind of disease. He didn't seem bothered or inhibited by it.

What would cause the bearing to eat into the teeth like this?

I can take another picture if it doesn't show well but This is literally marred half way through the thickness of the spring teeth. For reference only has 30k miles and it's an oem dual mass flywheel.

Any suggestions for "subframe alignment pins"?

Putting my car back together but I didn't use a subframe brace. Any advice on getting it lined back up properly would be appreciated. This is my first time doing this.

Need advanced advice from upholsterers

I know some of you guys had to use a regular industrial sewing machine before you got a proper walking foot to sew. Can you give me some advice on how to feed the material properly without pushing or pulling it too much? I have a Singer 99k with a Teflon foot (i also got a walking foot attachment to try out but I realize it's not the same). Also any advice on getting the tension right? I learned you've gotta use a thinner thread on the bobbin so I have the machine set up with the thicker upholstery thread on top. My thread keeps either knoting up in the bobbin/feed dogs area tho I can't see what's causing that when I take it apart. I think maybe I'm pushing too much but im not sure how to get the feed dogs to feed it better.

Im sewing foam backed PVC, foam is slightly more dense than headliner foam and slightly thicker. (not eva foam)

To help clear up some confusion about wounds by bladed weapons:

Here is an article that should give you guys a better idea of what the weapon could or could not be, and what they can or cannot determine about the weapon from the wounds (such as length, as only the part of the blade that makes it past the skin can be recorded. Could be longer. Also elasticity of skin can make wounds look superficially smaller.)

Does anyone remember the grub truck videos that actually displayed the live chat he was responding to?

In the early days of the crime i specifically remember seeing a grub truck video of the boss guy sitting at the register live streaming and in a window underneath you could view the live chat. I remember thinking what an odd thing to stream, how are so many people interested in watching this dude work a register in the middle of the night. I remember a couple of dudes in chat commenting on the appearance of female customers (it did not show the other cameras so at the time i was unsure who they were looking at because I could only see the cashier) and then one of them paid through chat to cover a girls food. Then it clicked, maybe it's too creep on college girls. How charming. I specifically remember someone doing the "V V V V V" type thing because for a moment it took up the whole chat window so all the chat responses got kinda delayed. I remember having no idea what a lot of the chats meant but I wondered if some of them would be important later on.

Apparently these were up online and you could view a library of them but I only saw that one and i cannot find it anymore. I also remember it not being as high quality as the ones we have today and I think it might have been a different night than the ones we have access to today. Maybe it was a screen recording from a chat member? Does anyone happen to have a link or copy to this?
