If you don't like then why are you even bothering to read the thread. And FYI no one here believes that vinegar makes metal grow. My suggest is get a life.

Maybe CN can give us the heads up on the sole of the boots in the oven. I saw something that most shoes are made out of some kind of polymer, so... CN what is the real deal here?

I'm not entirely sure. Most soles are made of a polymer that can take it. I don't know how live rubber, e.g. Vibram, with stand up to that heat. (I imagine well. Tires are rubber, and they get all sorts of hot under friction.) I think but can't say with certainty that this is "impulse heating"; we're not waiting for the boots to reach a uniform 300 degrees. At 1570 the Vaseline is a penetrating liquid and will get into all the seams and stitches. At such temps the soles should be fine.

I'd put a non-heirloom cookie sheet under them in any case lol.

Many utility companies up the price of kilowatts an hour during the summer, sometimes during the winter. Your electric bill will have this info and dates on it. Read it carefully and notice that the billing goes back to normal at a certain time for some companies. Say 8pm like my area. Run your laundry and other high consumption power devices after this time if you can as to avoid getting gouged even further by the energy pirates. Also put your home entertainment systems on a surge suppressor and cut the switch or unplug it to eliminate phantom power consumption. I have a buddy that swears he started saving $20 a month doing this.

When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and — ta da! — static is gone.

Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

To get rid of pesky fruit flies , take a small glass fill it 1/2″ with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid , mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and probably dead.

a lot of stores that have phones through out the store for talking on the loud speaker, all you do is press *50 and then you can talk away. you can do it just fuck with customers and such or something much more sinister.

couple friends of mine in their younger days had this thing setup where they stole a couple things and got away. a lot of these stores have security but the thing is when someone is suspected of stealing, they dont yell security over the loud speaker, they say a code name. my friends knew a couple workers and knew the whole system. they would use one of the phones and say "john doe to electronics, john doe to electronics" the name wasnt john doe but that is just my example because i cant remember what it was. while security was in electronics, my friends would go to sporting goods and steal. you can steal video games in electronics but you really need a lot of extra time because you need to break open the container and take only the cd. they hide the security tabs pretty good. i've never done this nor do i recommend anyone to try it but these 2 geniuses never got caught. they did get caught selling stolen goods on ebay though from a separate heist. they said they never worried about cameras because they lived a ways from the town the store was in. the store they did it in was also known at the time to have lazy security and a shitty camera setup. they said thes hit the place twice but were too scared to go back. they were young college kids at the time but it's still no excuse for doing something completely retarded. i think it was kinda funny though.

wonder if anyones ever tried saying there was a fire or a guy with a gun.
