Reminds me of the time I made Nylon thread in chemistry class.

'Modern balloons can be made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, or a nylon fabric' (WIKI). The sites where I have seen the recipes recommend a latex balloon, so I am hoping there is no aftertaste. And you should wash the balloon with mild soap and water first too. I saw this on Top Chef: Just Desserts first and thought it was brilliant!

Upvote... but I'd be interested what advantages this has over some competing models:

1. You have the same adjustable glasses, but make them more rugged/sealed and add some labelling to the dials and what not. Then you can adjust them until it's right. Then read off the numbers and take the matching set out of the big bin of $1 plastic glasses. Perhaps, in order to be more efficient and deal with varying eyes, you have glasses with snap in lenses.

Or, even simpler:

2. You have some bins of plastic glasses (or snap in lenses) and an eye chart. People come in and try glasses on until they find the set that works best for them.

If you forego any sort of fashion, use cheapest materials, and get some Chinese "dollar store" manufacturers involved, I bet you get these down to $.10. Especially if you really simplify design: a single strip of punched plastic/nylon/birdshit for the frame, and squareish plastic lenses with top/bottom slots to hold them in. Make lenses in ratio to the most common prescriptions, and bingo you're done.

I have some shoes with these round hard nylon laces, tried this, didnt work. I could still easily pull them apart.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

On another note..

Edit: Removed a swear word, this was meant to be sort of jovial and it looked pretty aggressive. Brits swear a lot. Sorry payback. Still full of crap though!

i'm sure if the straw/hay was clean, it may eventually sink when the water fills the voids in the porous hay. however oil floats... so chances are (non-scientific opinion incoming) oil-laden straw would float.

saltwater is more dense than freshwater (SW = 1.025, FW = 1.0), so it's even more difficult to sink hay, let alone oil soaked hay.

and regarding the solution proposed? why not? i mean, if our choices are 1) possible failure on cleanup at the cost of beef/milk prices rising, or 2) Gulf-coast wasteland... HAY, give it a try! (*groan*)

edit: apparently this idea is already in place using hair, nylon fibers, etc. not entirely sure on the reliability of the link, but here it is anyway: http://www.matteroftrust.org/

A sweater, a nice nylon/polyester windbreaker, some t-shirts, socks (a large package from mom, a nice pair from my 5 YO son), a scarf (@thegrimsleeper I know, who wears scarves?), and other odds and ends.

Beyonce's video would have been better in crotch-less nylon leisure suits.

I'm not a parent, so I can't speak from experience, but I'd like to think I wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior. However, I support the parent's actions in that they're not exactly giving in or bargaining, either. The child isn't being harmed.

And it's not a leash, it's a "harness", and my mother never had one for me. Especially not one made of bright yellow nylon.

Haha! Nylons and all.

Huh? They're BOTH on nylon strings.

"The USA......didn't have any rationing at all"? I agree with your comments except for this part, maybe I'm not understanding you. I thought there was a lot of rationing in the US during WWII, like gasoline, meat, nylons, etc.
