  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I have done quite a few waist alterations for clients, to men's trousers. It is only worth it if the center back seam has a good-sized seam allowance and a flat seam; which is more often found in good quality suit trousers. For garments with topstitching and multiple layer seams, it is not worth it. In that case, buy to fit your torso and alter/ cut off the legs. You can always add gussets to the legs, if you feel creative. That is how people altered jeans to be bell-bot...

  @fabio And this is why I stay in California; the rest of the US is one giant "flyover" country until I get to the EU.

  @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @Dougfir@m.ai6yr.org @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Yes, they did. Grandpa worked in the auto body section of a VW dealership* in the 1960s, and the waterproof test was to drive the car down a boat ramp, into the local river, and wait to see where the leaks were located. *IAM-AW union job.

  @deinol@dice.camp That, too. I refuse to pay them $30/book for difficult-to-read text printed on glossy paper... like I need more versions of Traveller (have physical copies of CT, MT, TNE, T4, Gurps, a few Mon.1e, plus all the TAS/Challenge magazines, have T5 in pdf). I have met a number of the original play-testers of RuneQuest (SCA overlap).

  @fosserytech@social.linux.pizza How about anti-X? It doesn't use systemd, and works on lots of older computers.

  @cybergoths@dice.camp Mongoose Traveller 2e (revised) is more legible, but I am unwilling to invest more money collecting yet another version. The groups I play in use either the CT or Mong. 1e ruleset. @deinol@dice.camp

  @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it I know it is possible, but I would rather not haul feed sacks on any kind of bicycle on my local roads. It may work on level roads, but not here. Our roads are heavily traveled, 2 lane mountain roads, have 55 mph speed limits, along with tourists (who can't drive) and trucks. It just not my idea of a safe ride on any day. Plus it is 10 miles to the town. (Cars are not even safe, I had a deer jump in front of my car twice here, for $$$$ repair costs.) My solut...

  @deinol@dice.camp Hear, hear. I am still playing #Traveller with the Classic rules, or Mongoose 1e (basically CT, amended). I want nothing to do with 5e, or its rules. The closest thing I will play is RuneQuest (1e or Glorantha)

  @IveyJanette@mastodon.social @AnnaAnthro@mastodon.social And Persian women do not wear burkas. If they wear a "covering" it is a chador; a half circle cape that goes on the head, and drapes around the body. It does not cover the face. Most are black, but for the more creative, floral material might be used. Ask me how I know this... Tehran American School, 1970-71 school year. Some of my step-family still live there. I hope they are ok.

  @fosserytech@social.linux.pizza @leadore@sunny.garden This assumes that everyone is using a new computer. Some of us use Linux in order to save money/the environment by reusing old computers.

  @LordCaramac@discordian.social @exador23@m.ai6yr.org I know. All we can do is to get as many noncombatants out of the middle as possible. I don't have any better ideas. Once the war of evil vs. evil gets going, there is not much that can stop them.

  @CliffsEsport@mastodon.social I didn't take the T23 on the Internet for long, and mostly copied files over on flash drives. But, it still works; it runs one "ancient" program (for Win98) on WINE, and supports the proprietary cable that connects to the even more ancient ('91) programmable sewing machine.

  @gooba42@mastodon.social The difference between Newsom and any Republican is: Newsom is an opportunist, and the Rs are a bunch of white Christofascists with no mental flexibility. Newsom can be swayed by the public, whereas the Rs actively disdain anyone not one of them. Mind you, I am not fond of him, but compared to the deep MAGAts, he is slightly better. @SuneAuken@mastodon.world @benroyce@mastodon.social @brouhaha@mastodon.social @moz@fosstodon.org @idahobucks@mastodon.social
