I am the mender in my house. Anything where the stitching has come loose or button has come off, goes to me. I have a sewing machine, but small jobes prevail and I just hit them with the needle and string.
Before i read that, i was just thinking about how i use string, and that once upon a time i would have used string for that, but now most of my extension cords have a strip of Velcro specifically for that purpose. And one that i can see from here has a big twist-tie. I suppose that will eventually wear out and be replaced with either string or Velcro.
Those Velcro things attract huge quantities of cat hair and dust.
Is this supposed to be a woosh?
Technically the stuff I use is translated as packing cord.
This company seems to think that twine and string are basically the same. 
It’s called 550 cord. I have it sitting next to the 100mph tape. It is more ropey since it’s multiple strands of string inside a nylon sheath.
I dont consider paracord to be string- it does have string in it. Twine is just another name for string, except usually more coarse.
It Biden died- Harris would take over. This would slightly increase trumps chance.
If trump died (from your lips to Gods ear!) and Biden is in worse health than we know, he might take this chance to led Harris in. But in any case, Biden or Harris would win.
I mean, yes. Of course it is. 
I can’t psychologically deal with my gas gauge at less than 25%.
I did run out of gas once when I was seventeen. That was a case of, “I don’t get my paycheck til Friday, let’s see how far we can get.”
I have no idea what my hat size is. Is that something most people know?
I know my hat size, because I have, from time to time, bought fitted hats, such as a fedora, or a fitted (rather than adjustable) baseball cap.
I suspect that, decades ago, when men regularly wore hats, that it was something that most men would have known about themselves. (I’m not sure if women would have been the same way, but it would not surprise me.) In today’s culture, where the only hat many people ever wear is an adjustable-size baseball cap, I suspect most don’t know their hat size anymore.
Quiz question: Which celebrity takes a 7½?
The only fitted baseball cap I ever owned was a 7-1/4. I wore it, but it was always just a little too tight. So for the poll, I answered 7-3/8 because it’s maybe probably about that. Or not.
Fun for the whole family!
When I was of an age to be inclined to play drinking games, it was pretty much always Quarters.
This Zoom Schwartz Profigliano thing sounds way to complicated for the crowd I was hanging out with.
I don’t know my hat size. I also don’t know my neck size (collar for fitted shirts). I am not sure I even have any fitted shirts any more. I probably got rid of all them along with my ties, and cuff links, and hankies (OK, I never had hankies). I think I have a dinner jacket somewhere deep in the bowels of a closet, been encased in a cover, for probably 15+ years.
I know my hat size because I have had jobs that required a hat, I prefer fitted baseball caps when I do wear them and I have a giant head so it’s not as easy to find one that fits.
For us, in Wisconsin, it was Quarters, or Mexican (a dice game). Never heard of Zoom Schwartz Profigliano until ten minutes ago.
I know my hat size is 58, (because I wear a helmet horse riding) I don’t know my hat size in inches because I don’t live in Liberia, Myanmar or the USA.

And, even then, American hat sizes are only indirectly in inches. An American hat size is based on the circumference of the head (in inches), divided by pi.
I don’t know my hat size, but it’s large. I once had to wear a rental top hat, and in a giant pile of hats, which had been sized for men, i ended up with one of the larger ones. Because the smaller ones looked ridiculous or were really uncomfortable.
