Does that make me part of the ultra-straights?

I'd be interested to know what steam did if anything for the companies behind those games. Hopefully they had some warning at least.

I'm finally part of the 1%! 🎉

Whatever they were designed for, they are currently being sold as the solution to nearly every problem. You can't expect a layperson to look further than that, and it's completely reasonable to judge what they do against the claims being used to sell them.

You can blame the marketing departments, but that original purpose you mention is no longer a major talking point (even if it should be).

So that's the craziest part. I actually think it would easily slide in, and then lock. See the way the space is weirdly perfect for it?

I tried it but I think the back of the part that the tab is in goes too far towards the sides. It seems pretty impossible to remove without breaking it.

I think I'm going to have to glue it in place. I was hoping to get it out because I didn't want to get glue on the side of fridge where the crack touches. It's pretty flush to the side right now. It's also going to be tough to keep the crack compressed while the glue dries without just holding it in place with the fridge wide open. If you have any suggestions for that let me know. I'm pretty new to this kind of stuff.

I just tried that and it doesn't seem like it. It's hard to see in the picture but there's plastic on the back of the part going around the tab, and it goes so far towards the side I'm not actually sure if bending it would work. I think it might break before it bent enough. 🫤

Oh wow that sounds like it might explain things then. It's a long story but there's a lot of partially finished but kinda botched stuff in this house so I guess add this to the list

No one can answer this question with anything but speculation. If you enjoy the speculation that's fine, but just remember that no one here has a crystal ball and what they say is just a guess rooted in their own biases and lifestyle, no matter how well thought out it sounds.

Wow what a way to depict them! Also, "cephalophoric" sounds like the saints are part octopus 😅

The cephalophoric saints Felix, Regula and Exuperantius (patron saints of Zurich), holding their attributes, their severed heads, before Christ, 1506, Zürcher Veilchenmeister. (Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum, Zürich)

The idea behind such a depiction is that those saints were killed when their heads were cut off. So it was decided that they would be honoured to be traditionally presented like that in painting. There are no less than 134 such saints.

"Deez", likely a derivative of Latin "Deus". They were clearly a god fearing people!

What the hell was the original context for this painting? 😆
