Is there a UPF 50+ material you can easily sew into your existing hats to protect your head?

There are a few if any good options for stylish baseball caps that are UPF 50 for kayak fishing.

What exactly is the point of “Dynamic Island?” I don’t use any of the features yet I’m constantly being redirected to apps when I try to tap the top of the screen, very annoying

What is the reason for this stupid feature and why is it being forced on us?? Why does Apple constantly say screw you to its customers??

For applying a brass grommet to a microfiber towel, do I need a piece of iron-on fusible interfacing to prevent stretching/tearing?

I am trying to put a 3/8” grommet in the corner of a 12 x 12 300 to 400 GSM microfiber towel for tethering to my kayak seat. Strangely, no one makes such a towel pre-existing.

When I do a search for whether this is feasible, or not, the results tell me that I will need some sort of iron on interfacing to prevent stretching and tearing of the towel by the grommet. Is this accurate?

To be clear, this is not the waffle weave, but rather the soft, plus microfiber material seen in automotive detailing rags only a bit heavier, duty, and better quality.

Reddit has by far the worst censorship I’ve ever seen of anything even remotely right leaning, to the point that it needs government intervention to neutralize it

It is absolutely out of control, and it is the only anonymous message board remaining on the Internet with any traffic. At the very least, you could come at the angle of an antitrust violation, but it’s clear that there is a very horrific level of bias in the moderation.

Does anyone know where I can find a 12 x 12 or slightly smaller microfiber towel with a carabiner/clip?

Most fishing bait towels with clips are 16 x 16, this is too long and hangs down too low getting soaked in the water when clipped to my kayak seat.

So far I have only been able to find waffle style, I want plush microfiber and preferably not too heavy (under 40” gsm.) I’m not entirely sure why this is so hard to find, I can’t see any application where 16 x 16 is preferable and they’re everywhere.

Why do they not make many small serving dishes that are double wall insulated for things like a side of queso?

I’m finding the selection limited to non existent. I’ve found double wall insulated bowls but they are mostly way too large (7” diameter) and the thermoses are all too deep and narrow for dipping.

I suppose you could argue this is sort of a niche thing, but it’s almost impossible to eat white queso quickly enough without it hardening or getting cold. I microwave it 2-3 times per meal

I made this chili recipe following it to a T with one small exception, yet somehow came out with half of the quantity it said it yields

I’m not a big fan of kidney beans, but everything else I included in exact amounts. Yet the end result was 5 cups instead of 10, how is this possible? I simmered it exactly as long as she said. One 14.5 oz can of beans does not account for 5 cups.

EDIT- I meant kidney beans!

Do you find chili better with 50% sausage or straight chuck?

I am considering going 50/50 and I’m sure flavor will be good just worried about texture. Will I compromise the soft, tender juicy texture if I mix sausage in?

Best way to bond Kevlar to HDPE?

Trying to adhere a Kevlar keel guard to my kayak, 3M 5200 & VHB tape not holding. I understand HDPE is very low surface energy but there has to be a way. Drilling for mechanical fastening not an option as I’m trying to PREVENT holes not add them. Thanks!

I attempted to make Mexican rice, but I either added too much water or made the mistake of stirring/breaking when I added cumin, it is all clumpy

I put it in the oven for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the moisture, but it is still very sticky and clumpy. It tastes great, but I understand this is not proper. Will it still freeze well? I suppose the moisture and sticky texture is my biggest concern. I am going to be almost exclusively, using it and tacos, burritos, and as a side dish with other Mexican recipes.

Do you get bothered by people who wear too much fragrance?

Everywhere I go I encounter at least one person who has a suffocating amount of cologne/perfume on. I think it is incredibly rude and inconsiderate to impose a strong fragrance on everyone in a closed space, regardless of the reason (“desensitized” etc.) I have had to change seats at bars/restaurants because of it.

What is the smallest and least expensive “monocular” or binoculars you can get for kayak camping/fishing of quality?

Would like to keep it under $150 if possible. Would be using to see other kayakers/bank fishermen in the distance as well as animals, birds or potentially dangerous riffles.

Louis CK is the best standup in history, and it’s not even close. The fact that people are afraid to acknowledge this because of that bullshit overblown scandal is pathetic, meanwhile girls swoon over CHRIS BROWN

He is better than the best, and I have many favorites including Carlin, Norm, Dangerfield, Tosh & Attell. He has a natural comedic presence, delivery and uniquely creative wealth of material that no other comedian has ever had, and likely never will.

Yet no one talks about this, because cancel culture has clipped the nuts and rotted the brains of America. Meanwhile women openly lust for Chris Brown after beating the DOG SHIT out of a woman. It’s fucking retarded and pathetic.
