Posting about all of my magnet fishing adventures on !magnetfishing@feddit.uk in the hope that people find it interesting and that maybe one day I won't be the only person making posts there.

I originally just wanted to join a magnet fishing community, but I found that there wasn't one so I made one myself and starting posting.

There's a first time for everything I guess

It doesn't trigger the horn on UK cars, which I definitely appreciate. Although it was amusing to watch my partner jump every time I locked our hire car in the USA, the noise pollution is unnecessary.

Are a really easy way to accidentally give yourself heart palpitations and be awake for the next 36 hours?

Seriously those things are really good and before you know it the packet is empty and you are afraid for your life.

Swapping my front brake calipers for the rebuilt ones I've had sat in my kitchen side for a couple months. I've been putting because I hate bleeding brakes but I'm fairly certain the car is leaking brake fluid now so it needs to be done.

Hopefully I will be able to do some magnet fishing tomorrow since the weather is so good and I haven't been since the August bank holiday. Probably going to drive into Bristol again and see if the bridge by castle park is a good spot. If the jetty is anything to go by I should get some stuff, but hopefully fewer nos cartridges.

The UK being that high makes me feel very sorry for everyone in the countries ranked lower

There is missing context for the scene from The Expanse. Alex (the pilot) gets the computer to plot a course using manoeuvring thrusters only, so it is not just a series of gravity assists, there is also manoeuvring to adjust course.

I would say that one of two things (or both) is happening:

  1. Alex is leaning because of the manoeuvring thrusters firing
  2. He is leaning like someone trying to steer harder in a video game.

Also, he drinks a fair few beers while hiding behind Cyllene before this, so that would support 2 I think.

PC in early 2024 for anyone wondering

I have a Vodafone router, and disabling the firewall is neither required or a sensible thing to do
