500 dollars for a basic belt my leather working mates would do as a training exercise for the new hires? They did not even punch the holes well.

Wish I could pull off cons at that level.
I wish I could do something more than liking this post. I'd give gold if it was Reddit.

One of the previous posters appears to have dropped the better part of 500 dollars on a belt. Is it some fancy belt with back supports, holders, rated for climbing or anything like that? Seemingly not. Just a basic belt from a fashion house.

To make matters worse the quality of the things done on it are quite literally what my friends that do leather work for a living would use as a training exercise for the new trainees, give or take the middling/higher quality leather being used for that one. Also looking at the holes punched they were not done especially well, and now that I take a closer look I am not sure if it was a roller or press used for the pattern but it has seen better days. The only thing more basic in terms of techniques for leather work is probably a key fob.

For what a proper leather worker can do have a look at some stuff on

If it is what floats that poster's boat then so be it but it seems like a con to me.

Recently got an OG DS, a GBA, and a GBC.
Along with Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Pokemon Gold

I'm a sucker for the OG DS systems. Have a few dozen I think. I've been playing the remake of MLSS for the 3DS and its fun.

Just picked up a Silver Pocket. When they are near mint to mint, I like to buy em.:bow: Silver is one of my favorites, actually like the first version pocket with the chrome sides on the screen protector. Who needs an led staring at them anyway. :wtf:

I'm trying to learn basic leatherwork, and it's so hard. There's a local shop that sells leatherworking stuff, and I want to make a belt....

Bought earlier this week the walking dead a new frontier for $10 sealed and bought my first tarantula.

The tarantula is a Honduran curly hair. It was $25 for a quarter sized sling (spiderling). Getting it Saturday.
It takes about 4 to 5 years to get to full size.

I've wanted one since I was a kid. It was cheap so I got one. Plus I rather get an animal as a baby and rise them up and at least like this I know it's age.

It's not like it takes up a lot of space and I have the feeder insects for it cause of my leopard geckos.

And honestly I would rather get a emperor scorpion because it's basically a tank but it's illegal to own them where I live. And when it comes to animals I do everything legal.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
