I'm assuming those downvoting are doing so because of the thumbnail. The actual video is about showing that this kind of headline is misleading and represents poor reporting. Kind of ironic, but the video is still worth a watch.

I'm with you. No hate here. I feel like many Joker fans weren't quite edgy enough to admit that a movie with music could be good. I loved it. So dark, Jesus. Just like a Joker film should be.

Home made oilcloth. Slight disaster, advice appreciated (self.bushcraft)

I've made my first attempt at oilcloth. Used linseed oil (boiled I think but I no longer have the container), turpentine in equal parts, and iron oxide (quarter part). Looks beautiful, but...

First problem is it just won't dry. Been hanging under cover in a well-ventilated area for a few weeks and it's still very tacky. I'm guessing I just need to leave it longer.

More of an issue though is the iron oxide leaves residue whenever it's touched. Any ideas on how to get rid of the excess? Google does not appear to be my friend today.

Any help greatly appreciated!
