I questioned my sanity
while parsing your insanity
Therefore you get extra points
For this hilarity
As someone working in healthcare, this is fucking perfect!
Like anything in the internet, it starts with AdNauseum or uBlock origin
Jealous! Way better than a lap cat on so many levels...
As a consumer of fucking idiocy, in not here to judge - keep up the good work!
That's a doozie, for sure!! Some heavy shit in there.
Might be a bit of a loaded gift, however?
Sadly, going 'full tuk-tuk' is the goal here...
I'm just astounded they managed to scrape 50M together!
But who cares?
Sure, the idiots at jaguar are flushing their brand, but who cares?!? It's their shit pile to destroy, after all...
Great dig, dad! I would love to see teenage Calvin with these sorts of banter but I get that ruins some of it's charm
Yes, I fucked up the autocorrect, such is life
You bully of sprites, you!
Ah, yes - the two-eyed scrotum. Everyone loves petting that!
Hang on, what? I might need to rethink a few things...
One really quirky one I love is https://epiphanieqc.bandcamp.com/album/laube. Is absolutely beautiful by also has many crushing sections.
Metal, with a harp solo!
Yes, also tesseract!
How to best investigate what may be a bent derailleur
Riding into work yesterday, somehow while upshifting my chain slipped off the smallest cog onto the frame and hopped off the jockey wheel in the derailleur - all very drastic, but it suggests to me the derailleur twisted?
Historically getting down out of the 9th or 10th gear would need 'a little extra thumb' past the shifters click, that now seems to be the case for the top few gears - but the rest of the 11 speed cluster works great still
Does this sound more like I've worn the cogs somehow or twisted / bent the derailleur?
If it was bent, I thought it would affect all shifting...
It's a shimano HG 11 speed with their reasonably recent chain that's supposed to be really long lasting (possibly intended for e bikes? Mines an old analog, mojo geometron)
I should really double check what the parts are (being a Muppet), and get a photo of the alignment, but I'd love to be able to something on my own before wheeling it into the LBS
Has anyone got anything similar to Épiphanies exceptional L'aube?
This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?
It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc
how does Act have so many list MPs?
I just skimmed through the leaflets and realized they got almost as many as lab/nat.
Who do they think they're fooling?
so sky city might be losing it's licence...
The sector regulator has applied to the Gambling Commission to suspend SkyCity's operator's licence for alleged breaches of host responsibility rules.
I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?
God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...
> The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.
As. If.
So the Shelly Bay fustercluck is over?
The plug has been pulled on a $500 million development at the former Air Force base at Shelly Bay.
With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...
Thoughts?
A noob getting started with open rct2
I've been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I've seen - this game is really deep!
I'm still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I've only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I'm not even sure how I did it!
I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they're completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might've been a mistake...
Are there some tips I'm missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I've rebought the same thing several times when I can't get it working!)
Cheers
what is the best way to drop out a threaded screw?
So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.
If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?
And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?
Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?
Aotearoa daily kōrero 21/07/2023
I've hidden this 'cos it's a dupe and the other has more accurate conversation
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
'Religious debate' time! Check in with your tire pressure...
I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.
I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.
Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse
My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)
Need a little help with a shitty website
So, I spent most of the day troubleshooting a website that drastically slows down when 'a browser looks at it funny'...
Usually it behaves fine - it's not the volume of requests, my teammates think it's something about the kind of requests. But they're struggling to get the logging properly configured.
I'm an EUC engineer (p.o.s. website requires IE11 and ActiveX controls - yay healthcare!), so mostly helping on the sidelines, but I'm looking for some 'supportive' suggestions...
