Historical Thursday: Operation Little Vittles

Nov. 17, 2011

In the final years of 1940s, the Soviets enacted a blockade on Western vehicles and trains coming in and out of Berlin. To continue delivering necessities to Berliners, the Allies decided to airlift supplies needed by the residents. The Berlin Airlift became one of the largest humanitarian missions in history, but one pilot went out of his way to make special deliveries for the children of the city.

The Ultimate Glue Decision Chart

Nov. 17, 2011

white trash repairs - The Ultimate Glue Decision Chart

A few notes:

  • We can add vinyl records to the list of materials wood glue is used for.

  • I’ve never found a spray glue that doesn’t wear off in a matter of days.

  • Just like this chart, I absolutely swear by the power of hot glue. I recently used it as the only adhesive on my Halloween costume and it held together superbly.

* These glues are not ideal for adhering the material but can be sufficient if the project is small and lightweight, and non-functional (craft only). When using hot glue for styrofoam projects, choose a low-temperature glue gun only. Also note that only waterproof glues should be used on ceramics such as mugs, dishware and vases. Lastly, if your paper projects involve fine artwork (or anything you’d like to keep for a very long time) you should use archival adhesives instead of the standard glues above.

Stick-On Democracy

white trash repairs - Stick-On Democracy

Clearly, it’s meant to be a deep metaphor. The painter’s tape symbolizes the corporate control of America and the recent Citizens United ruling. Or maybe it symbolizes the American work ethic. Or the lack of tools given to the proletariat to successfully live a fulfilling life. Or something. America.
