General PSA's for begginer alt crafting

- superglue heats up when in contact with fiber, your craft can start smoking or even catch on fire

- you can wash clothing painted with acrylic paint in the washing machine if you turn it inside out and use the lowest temperature

- don't put painted clothes in the dryer.

- you can wash clothes with metal bits in the washing machine but use the handwashing setting, dry the metal bits with a paper towel before hanging them to dry, and know that it WILL be loud

- synthetic dye is needed to dye synthetic fibers and requires a long time simmering in a boiling pot. This WILL stink up the house and you NEVER want to make food in that pot again

- faux leather is vinyl not leather. Get vinyl paint to paint on it

- don't use your teeth as tools, they don't regenerate. Reconstructing enamel costs a small fortune (ask me how I know.)

- when handsewing a lot through thick fabric get thin needles, it will require less force and be less taxing on your wrists. When machine sewing get a higher grade needle (~130 for jean)

- embroidery floss is overpriced and not as strong as it looks. For sewing on heavy stuff get denim thread, it will last forever

- don't feed a 60$ home sewing machine ten layers of denim before you learn how much a servicing fee costs, these things are dellicate

- spray paint is best applied from 30-40cm away, in swift movements. Putting too much or applying from too close will cause drips. You can sand them down and apply a new layer of paint AFTER they dry. Wipe the can nozzle after painting if it's messy, you don't want it to clog and become unusable

- water based markers on fabric will bleed, if not instantly then with time, alcohol markers will fade with time

- most fabric glues are machine washable up to a certain temperature. modgepodge is not waterproof, hitack is handwash only. Check the instructions

- the flatter the surface the easier hot glue will peel off. Faux leather stands no chance, fibers like yarn will hold it best, but is impossible to remove the glue from them in the future

- rivets are a thing that exists, only require a hammer to install and can be used as permanent fabric attachment

- studs, gromets and other metal junk at small fabric stores are laughably overspriced

- acetone (found in nail polish remover) will remove acrylic stains out of furniture, flooring and faux leather, if used in excess can damage the laquer. Can also be used to remove prints and glue off of plastic (do a small test before commiting, might melt the plastic it it's grade is low)

- residue from stickers (and k-tape) can be removed with oil

- acrylic stains cannot be removed out of clothing or carpet so protect your area before painting and don't wear clothes you care about

- if your thread keeps getting tangled or snagging while handsewing try waxing it

- you can lock in screw-in spikes with screw lock glue if you're scared of them falling off because they unscrew

- you can add washers to screw-in spikes if you're scared of them falling through flimsy fabric or too big of a hole

- if you're making anything out of soda cans have a metal file on hand, they are deceptively sharp and will hurt you and rip through fabric you're installing them in

- bleach can be found in mold killing spray (don't touch that shit with bare hands. chemical burn.)

- fabric paints are no different from slightly dilluted acrylic. You can make it yourself by adding a bit of fabric softener to acrylic or honestly even water

- if you are setting anything with an iron use parchment paper or a pressing cloth to pervent your stuff from sticking to your iron and ruining it

- if you want a safety pin somewhere permanently pinch it shut with pliers

- as much as you can, avoid putting glue on clothing, it makes it really hard to change your decisions later on and upcycle the project in the future

- kiss your friends

#true #i've used mold spray to bleach a shirt before. it works completely fine #art stuff

How To Hack An Electronic Road Sign

How many times have you driven by an electronic road sign like one of these? This is the ADDCO portable sign. Today, you see what is on the inside, and how they are programmed to display important information. *** WARNING YOU SHOULD NEVER TAMPER WITH THESE SIGNS ***

- The access panel on the sign is generally protected by a small lock, but often are left unprotected. Upon opening the access panel you can see the display electronics. - The black control pad is attached by a curly cord, with a keyboard on the face. - Programming is as simple as scrolling down the menu selection to "Instant Text". Type whatever you want to display, Hit Enter to submit. You can now either throw it up on the sign by selecting "Run w/out save" or you can add more pages to it by selecting "Add page"

** HACKER TIPS ** Should it will ask you for a password. Try "DOTS", the default password. In all likelihood, the crew will not have changed it. However if they did, never fear. Hold "Control" and "Shift" and while holding, enter "DIPY". This will reset the sign and reset the password to "DOTS" in the process. You're in!

additional comment from a reddit thread:

I work on these from time to time. Other common passwords are the same as most things: 1234, 1111, 0000, etc. They are also often written down inside the service area for technicians. Most new ones also have a QR code that links to the user manual for an explanation on how to operate with the default passwords.

This is something I wrote elsewhere responding to a claim that it's revisionist to claim punk is leftist because it was originally apolitical. I think there's a lot of interest in punk as an aesthetic and/or ideal on here but often not so much knowledge of its history, so I thought it might be of interest to some here too:

If you're defining punk descriptively rather than prescriptively, it's been all of the above. Johnny Ramone was a Nixon loving Republican, The Clash were nonsectarian socialists, Crass were anarcho-pacifists, The Exploited were anarcho-violenceists, The Stooges were too drugged up to have politics, The Sex Pistols were anti-social provocateurs, the MC5 were 60s militants down with SDS and the Black Panthers, Jello Biafra was basically the world's most cynical social democrat, Darby Crash was a fascist, Danzig was probably a crypto, it goes on and on. Where punk has been political it has leaned left by aggregate, but there were always rightists looking to infiltrate. Before Varg Vikernes made world headlines and cemented the connection between black metal and the far right, before any of the fash-adjacent industrial bands got going, punk rock was kind of the only game in town for rightist youth counterculture. Dead Kennedys wrote Nazi Punks Fuck Off because nazi punks were a real problem! In the 80s and 90s they largely had to be beaten out of the scene by the antifash equivalent of gang violence. Punks chose to prioritize pushing out fascists by any means necessary when going along to get along would have made things much easier (lots of venues stopped booking punk shows entirely because of big fights, and those fights were often about political factionalism). Punk isn't innately anything really, the whole point is it's what you make it. And it took blood sweat and tears to make it as fash unfriendly as it is today. Be the punk you want to see in the world: my final message.
