I think a vibrating heating pad would fix me

Entering the "Damn this heating pad feels great" phase of my 30s

The Smithsonian seems to have trade catalogues and other materials from the company in their collection but frustratingly have no scans available online.

Yeah, that site's been about the extent of information I could find on it so far and unfortunately it's exclusively in regards to the company's acquisition by Singer in the 30s. Even reddit seems to find these machines a total mystery.

The parts catalogue at the back of the manual seems to suggest it's a 90-series, but information about this company's machines seems sparse.

About the only information I can find on this company is that it was acquired by Singer as a subsidiary when the latter purchased the Frederick Osann Company in 1934. Singer then developed five models under the Standard name before shuttering the company in 1938.

The ONLY part that's missing is the bobbin case. I need to figure out what sort is compatible, though fortunately it seems like it should be compatible even with modern parts.

Thank you, industry standardization 👍

It's a Standard brand rotary sewing machine, can't find a model name/number but the most recent patent listed on the base plate is December 20th, 1904

It came with a complete tin box of accessories, listed in the manual (included) at a cost of $5.00

Neighbor brought over the sewing machine & after a bit of oil it runs great. The old belt snapped but that was expected. I'll just have to order a new one; Shouldn't be too hard.

This machine is so old it has an attachment to switch from lock stich to chain stitch like the machines from the 1850s.

Two anthropomorphic characters standing near eachother: larger bear is holding small deers head and kissing their head. Deer's wearing a yellow halter neck dress and looking surprised, hands still drawn to chest from previously feeling uncertain. Side comic shows bear giving a parcel to excited deer, helping them put the dress on, and deer overthinking while looking down.

rarely, sfw happens.
Kas looks very pretty in dresses, and Bryn helps to convince them of that.

There are times where I think to myself "What if it isn't real? What if I just ignore it? What if it's not worth it anymore? I should just focus on more important things" and then along comes a movie like I Saw The TV Glow that slaps me upside the head and reminds me "Yes, idiot, it's worth it"

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

This movie goes from "relatable and kind of sad" to absolute fucking gutpunch ow

This isn't even subtext it's just text

I'm less than four minutes in and I'm like "How the fuck did anybody misinterpret this?"

I Saw The TV Glow is free on youtube and I decided to watch it and I was going into this thinking "Okay so the trans allegory is probably subtle given how many people seem to miss it" and then literally the second scene of the movie is this

Woke up at around 4:30 and was like "oh that's not so bad", forgetting that that is like two hours earlier than I normally wake up because of DST

It's now six AM and it's still pitch dark outside

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Go figure this happens the one time I don't have superglue in the house

When the hell did that happen??

In other good money news, I filed for back pay with this caretaker job and I'll be getting enough to erase my larger credit card debt. That's $150 a month I'll no longer have to pay.

Learning to cook is truly the ultimate lifehack.
