Thisfox ,

I was using a thimble when I did that. The needle popped through the thin metal of the thimble, through my finger, and hit the inside of the thimble on the other side. I couldn’t remove the thimble, I tried but the needle was locking it on my finger. I had to pull the needle out through my finger, then remove, by which time the thimble was full of blood…

Thisfox ,

I haven’t found quotation marks working on duck duck go either.

Does anyone here have the Eaglemoss Enterprise D dedication plaque? If so, did you figure out a way to mount it on the wall? ( lemmy.world )

I can’t figure it out. It isn’t huge, but it’s heavy. Specs are 9 x 2 x 12 inches - ‎1.52 pounds. And it’s totally smooth on the back. Nowhere to put a hook. Has anyone figured out a way to do it?...

Thisfox ,

You can see where the four screws that mounted the original are sticking out. What a pity they didn’t put holes where there are meant to be holes.

Thisfox ,

Over(head) for (the duration of) dinner (well, part of it anyhow).

Thisfox ,

New reason for us to have a keep-left policy on our roads while yanks have a keep-right policy on theirs…

Thisfox ,

If you are doing that by car, then the cloverleaf will add to your spin, not cancel it out.

Thisfox ,

Yeah the Aprils are good aren’t they?

Thisfox ,

Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah”) and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.

Thisfox ,

Dunno, teachers meet a lot of students, seems likely to me that a lot of us would encounter the same kid and not forget her.

Thisfox , (edited )

How odd you think that. She was on my roll call for a term (high school). I am not going to tell you which school, as doxing a student is wrong, so I guess Elle is going to have to remain a myth for you.

Thisfox ,

Yeah pretty sure that news is US only.

Thisfox ,

As an Aussie, I guess it’s “well, I didn’t want to pay for a new netflix account anyway”.

Thisfox ,

So many geeks are going to give/receive some weird presents in ten years…

Thisfox ,

The trouble is making sure they think the wrapping paper is cool…

Thisfox ,

Interesting.

I have only experienced disappearing-reappearing -ink- Programs on P+.

Thisfox ,

Now watch what it was based on!

Amidst Franchise Changes, Star Trek: Lower Decks' Mike McMahan Gave Us His Worried Perspective On The Show's Future

Pretty self-explanatory tl/dr: if you like the show, watch it (and get your friends onboard).

Thisfox ,

What a foul website. My adblockers aren’t up to the task. What is the eventual conclusion of the article? It is impossible to get past all the popups, and the video autoplaying was the last straw.

Thisfox ,

Really confused as well. I guess they make the figure your specifications or something?

Thisfox ,

Fish.

Also macadamias, and lillipilli. And the cabbage tree palm. Warrigal Greens.

Coconuts, I expect.

I am yet to believe the humble blackberry is a cultivar.

Possibly kangaroo meat? Boomers such as the Eastern Grey are pretty unmanipulated, and taste like venison.

But mostly fish. And lobsters/crays/crabs.

Thisfox ,

…The word has an alternate meaning here, but okay.

Thisfox ,

How bizarre.

Thisfox ,

American toilets are just weird. Why do they need to evacuate into an overful lake like that? Always seems so wasteful, putting 50 litres of water into each flush too.

Thisfox ,

Water usage per flush here in Australia is significantly lower. And yet the system is cleaner and more reliable. I had never even seen a plunger until my first US visit; We don’t need them here because our toilets work, unlike the huge American toilets which clog and require too much water.

Thisfox ,

They’re oval here too, but don’t require all that extra water, a lake in every flush. I think you mistead overfull? And I had never seen a real plunger in Australia, we don’t ever need them. Our toilets just work.

Thisfox ,

As an Aussie, I don’t see why that is unusual. You use your feet. But if it’s only two icecreams, then you hold them both in one hand and swim with the other one. All I can say about this one though is that this is a very flat beach: Waves would ruin the icecream pretty bloody fast.

Thisfox ,

Huh. Stuff I never expected to be unique to Oz.

Swimming with something that can’t get wet is not unheard of here. I sometimes swim a book over to somewhere to read, or a phone to a good place for a photo too.
