Any advice/tricks for modifying maternity pants to be regular pants? by chrisbluemonkeyin sewing

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

It's pretty easy to add a belt loop, just hem a small piece of fabric in the same color and sew it on. For that matter, you could trim off part of the top most likely, tuck the ends inside and fold it over, and re-hem the top as well.. maybe throw in a drawstring so they'll still fit if you lose a bit of weight.

The only way to get a "cheater fake pants top" that I can think of is with another pair of old pants/shorts.. maybe go to the thrift store and get some cheap pairs if you want to try it that way?

Toys for Tots (or similar organizations) by RedBeardedOwlin secretsanta

[–]DevilPliers 3 points4 points ago

Toys for tots is awesome.. when I was a kid we went there for christmas presents, doubt we would of had any without them. One thing that's kinda sad about the place though.. is they actually serve all kids 0-18. Every year I donate a gift for someone 12+ as the toddlers really have a ton of gifts.. but being a poor teenager just sucks. Usually the teenagers are the ones stuck getting the gifts with their parents, so the only cool part left about christmas is trying to find a gift meant for someone your age. Neat board games (like munchkins), books for teens, pj pants.. those are my favorite things to give them.

As a highschool student, I have to wear the same 3 shirts in a cycle each week because I'm poor. Is there a way I can get aid so people no longer have to think negatively of me? by [deleted]in AskReddit

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

I had this same problem in HS, I only owned two pairs of pants and maaybe 3 shirts. But there is a much simpler solution that no one has suggested. Get an old sheet, and wear it as a cape everyday. No one will ever remember what you wear each day besides the cape. And wearing a cape in HS is fucking pro. I love all my yearbook photos with me in the background in a cape.. they are just awesome.

Is there an /r/ for asking for sewing project help? by jbryhanin sewing

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but a friend of mine crochets stuff, she takes almost entirely custom orders. Pretty cheap too. http://www.etsy.com/shop/BunnyApocalypse?ref=pr_shop_more

TIL the use of Tear Gas in war is prohibited under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention, using it on civilians is allowed. by hymrrin todayilearned

[–]DevilPliers 12 points13 points ago

Sooo, what if the situations you might get teargassed in start to include peaceful assembly, or other guaranteed rights? Just give up?

I want to make a badass archer for 3.5. I've only ever played melee characters. Any tips? by TotallyTugBoatin rpg

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

Playing as a rouge is another fun way to play as an archer.. it's an easy weapon for them to use since you can get sneak attack with it pretty easily. They can also use magic items which is nice.

Suggestions on older games i missed out on? by DonPoppito666in xbox360

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

The new dead rising is better than the 2nd one.. If you haven't gotten dead rising 2 yet, I'd just skip it and grab off the record instead.

A Warning for Those Dual Booting and Upgrading to 11.10 by jak119in Ubuntu

[–]DevilPliers 1 point2 points ago

Don't upgrades always cause dumb issues? I've always fresh installed ubuntu, but I tend to wait for the LTR.. it's out early next year anyways.

Requesting help determining size alterations for Lastwear Hakama Pattern (linked inside) by Weazalin sewing

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

Well, a simple.. sort of sloppy way to do it is just increase the sides by the difference.. sounds like its about 7 inches. Normally you'd do this down the entire side of the pant, but they are baggy enough you could try going down to 5 inches or something as you go down the leg.. I wouldn't just add 7 inches to the waist/hips though. You shouldn't need to change the top, bottom, or the crotch unless the pants are too short too.

Windows Live ID password problem by Kazeekin xbox360

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

It takes forever, but it's possible to get it reset. Go to hotmail, click on forgot password.. fill out the questions.. if you don't know anything about the account there's an option to contact customer support. In it, provide your credit card info as your proof of identity, the card that's on the account.. add a simple note. There will be a long chain of emails, but eventually they will reset the password if you can prove it's your account.

Gender and games. by famousninjain truegaming

[–]DevilPliers 55 points56 points ago

I'm a girl and I play as a girl, and I know guys who play as girls.. we do it for the same reason. Their clothes are cuter. Dressing them up is part of the whole game for some reason. I also never play tanks, but I never thought much about that.

Good date plans for Capitol Hill area? by JakalDXin Seattle

[–]DevilPliers 2 points3 points ago

You could grab some ice cream at Molly Moon's. I'm addicted to their scout mint flavor.

If you want some privacy.. there's a trail behind St. Marks that's fun to explore.. nice views of the lake during sunset too. It's kind of fun because very few people in Seattle know about it and it's normally empty. http://www.seattle.gov/parks/park_detail.asp?ID=2848

The Bellevue, Bellevue, and Bellevue park is a bit more common.. but another kind of fun one, down by I-5.

If it's raining and you're both nerdy, another weird hole in the wall is the Metrix create space. You could see if they're doing anything interesting that night. http://metrixcreatespace.com/calendar

Of course the water tower is a great choice if they've never been.. but if you're from here, it's a little boring honestly. I've been up there hundreds of times myself, and I wouldn't go out of my way to see it at this point.

Dying grandparent: should (young) kids visit one last time? by dnonastin Parenting

[–]DevilPliers 2 points3 points ago

If the kid seems bothered by it, visiting would probably help him understand what's going on better.

Chatted with a lady on OKCupid.. by Rusahin dating

[–]DevilPliers 1 point2 points ago

She's probably cheating on someone.. didn't want them to see and needed to clear away all evidence. Otherwise I don't see why she wouldn't of just stopped talking to you and moved on.

TIL that Microsoft (which now owns Skype) has been granted a patent for technology that acts as a wiretap of sorts for Internet communication, allowing governments or other law-enforcement authorities to record Skype calls without detection. Does this bother anyone else?? by harrybadesin todayilearned

[–]DevilPliers 12 points13 points ago

Yea, this is what I came in here to say too.. also worked for a VoIP company once. We didn't have something called legal intercept, but we could listen to calls afterwards. We used it for troubleshooting.. and I wouldn't be surprised if we had to hand those over for law enforcement too.. normally they can get all records when they have a subpoena. Voicemails, emails, there was a shit ton of records we kept.

To me, it just looks like a company is trying to be honest and upfront about what they are doing.

This shit should be illegal by pokesmot420247in WTF

Then nude could mean white again and it would be reverse-reverse-rasism.

Finally decided to game with something other then my mac. Going to buy a 360. I want it cheap but not unreliable. Where, What, When should I buy? by Maxmessiin xbox360

[–]DevilPliers 4 points5 points ago

Lots of people reported that they were unable to use xbox live on used 360s as they had been modded and banned. I don't believe this is covered in most retail warranties too..

What is your favorite under-rated game for the 360? by Para-Koopain xbox360

[–]DevilPliers 2 points3 points ago

Earth Defense Force. Easy to jump into, multiplayer game. Great for when guests are over and want to try something new. Looks like a B rate movie though, you spend most of it shooting giant bugs, robots and UFOs.

Your baby can read? by Redbox_McFireCrotchin Parenting

[–]DevilPliers 1 point2 points ago

Depends on the school. When I was a kid, the 4th and 5th grade classes would go read to the 1st graders about once a week.

So I work at Gamestop by jockhollywoodin gaming

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

I don't mind Gamestop. I actually read the magazine.. they live in the bathroom. I hate taking the laptop in there. Steam's easier though, and I tend to use Amazon a lot since they bring me my groceries anyways. I don't really go to the store much as the employees always try to get me to buy the magazine again or other stuff.. when I go in for my renewals I ask for the magazine, no one needs to tell me about it. It's right next to the register, the customers aren't retarded.

One thing would make Gamestop worth it again though, if you guys resurfaced CDs. Gamecrazy used to, but most of them are going out of business. It's impossible to get gamecube or smaller cds resurfaced now, and you have to find a DVD shop or buy an expensive kit online to get games done. I really miss just being able to take in all my scratched up games to a store and getting it all done while I shopped in the store. Gamecrazy did it for about $3 a cd, it was a good deal.

What is something ridiculously nice we can do for our partner (BF, GF) just because we love them? by the_wazin AskReddit

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

This. And to add to it, recently I made my girlfriend a necklace from this site. Really easy.. the one I picked mostly involved wire and pliers, looks amazing though.

Been thinking about playing guitar in the street for some extra cash. Do I need a permit? by donkeybong64in Seattle

[–]DevilPliers 1 point2 points ago

My dad does it sometimes and he doesn't have a permit.. know a few homeless kids that do too and I never saw them hassled.

I recently bought my first Xbox 360 and it's froze 4 times now. Suggestions? by ashliroller1990in xbox360

[–]DevilPliers 0 points1 point ago

Any arcade games you bought are tied to your username, just log into your new xbox with the same gamertag and you'll be able to download them for free. I only have a 12gb drive from launch, I delete and redownload stuff all the time.
