Roller skates count as vehicles

Bzzzp. Sorry, that's six words.

There was a guy with an awfully similar name to you, asking awfully similar questions.

I'm not trying to out you if you're actually the same guy trying to get around a ban, but if you are, why pick such a similar name? It's bordering on suspicious - picking an explicitly religious name then posting about prostitutes.

If this is coincidence, and you're a completely different guy with a similar name posting about a similar topic within the space of a week, I apologise - and I don't want to freak you out too much, but you may have a doppelganger.

Very much this.

Remember, OP, it's an "ectomy" - they remove a beansprout-sized chunk of each vas deferens. You will be left missing a fairly big piece of the plumbing - it's not just a simple connect/disconnect thing.

If you do choose to have it done and you're the curious type, they'll actually let you watch if you ask.

Also, stock up on ibuprofen!

Full applause. This is a beautifully crafted joke. Genuinely did not see where it was going until the very last word. Top marks.

I think you've misunderstood - the angle is "imagine your kids find out that you did nothing about it".

It's not about blame, it's about action. Protest, boycott, recycle, petition - do everything you can to make positive change happen.

To be fair, there is another aspect to this. The children involved were mainly 3, and the eggs do say for ages 3+.

Most people don't buy teeny tiny toys for their three year olds.

It's a tricky one. I think the problem could largely be addressed by slightly raising the age to 4+, the same as Lego.

I'm getting lots of downvotes. The Principal Skinner meme comes to mind.

Is the Democratic Party at fault?

No, the millions of people who didn't want to vote for the Democratic Party are to blame.

Ah, ok. Thanks for that.

I've got even more questions now, but I won't press on!

I'm also getting the impression that I accidentally caused you to dredge up unpleasant stuff from your past - I promise it wasn't my intention. Sorry if I did.

Hope I've at least shown a side to the thing that isn't the insane/angry side that you know.

 

Hi all,

Full credit goes to Popemon at TFW2005 for this find, but I've just ordered this box set for a unbelievably low £48.

I didn't realise that European Amazon stores in different countries sell the same things, delivered to the same places, at different prices.

Whilst the set is £84.55 in the UK, it's significantly cheaper in Italy, despite shipping from the same distribution centre.

Here's the deal:

Amazon.it

So, if you're in Europe, try using an Amazon comparing website to see if a different instance is selling it cheaper. They all use the same accounts (although Prime is tied to your country's instance).

Hope it helps!

 

Hi all!

I've been looking for a video that I used to play for my kids when they were little, maybe 11-12 years ago.

It's a music video featuring a Korean (?) (maybe Japanese) rock song accompanied by a really cute animation of a hunanoid bunny or cat trying to deliver a cake.

The animation style was line outlines apart from a few solid colours used for emphasis.

The main character is trying to get a birthday cake to their friend's party, other animals are waiting.

He manages to keep to cake safe despite being squashed on the train, bumped on the street, and having a gang of thugs chase after him. While running from the thugs, he bursts through the door of the venue, trips, and the cake flies out of the box and squashes on the floor. It's a happy ending though, because the girl bunny loves the cake even though it's squashed, and the thugs are even allowed to have some cake.

I vaguely remember the lyrics saying in English "It's your birthday" during the chorus, but other than that it was all Korean/Japanese.

Please, if anyone remembers anything about this, help me!

 

I got some of the Sunlu High Speed PLA that I've been hearing good things about. On the first print I discovered that, while it prints beautifully, it creates a ludicrous amount of dust going through the extruder.

So I open it up to clean it out, when suddenly the tensioning spring shoots out. Searched for about an hour in total, it's nowhere to be seen.

I'd been thinking of replacing the extruder for a dual gear one anyway, so I took the opportunity to order a nice one from Micro-Swiss.

The problem is, that I have an FLSun Q5, and I'd seen from videos online that it doesn't quite sit flush - you need to print a spacer.

So I needed to get the printer patched up for one last hurrah. The spring was salvaged from a broken clothes peg. And it worked perfectly - not just "well enough", but easily as good as the original.

So in summary, if it helps anyone, losing the spring doesn't mean you need a new part - a clothes peg spring works just as well.

 

I'm seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK.

First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, "Keir Starmer" or "Mr Starmer".

"Prime Minister" is not used as a title like "President" is. He's not "Prime Minister Starmer". He's just "the Prime Minister" or "the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer".

Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules.

If you want to use this title, it's not quite as simple as replacing "Mr" with "Sir'. The first name is more important than the surname here. He's not "Sir Starmer". He's "Sir Keir Starmer" or "Sir Keir".

Hope it helps!
