Also the opposite side to it don’t keep hammering into somebody once they’ve admitted fault and are trying to rectify their mistakes (within reason).

People will be a lot more likely to be confident in admitting a mistake and being honest about it if it isn’t blown out of proportion.

My mum’s a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it’s place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don’t want to try and engage with the therapy.

Just something to think about

Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they’ll look at you like you’ve sprouted a third head.

The correct way to pronounce it is twat:

The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.

As opposed to:

The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.

Huh, same here, that’s odd

What type of tub is it? Free standing or one with a panel on the side?

If one with a panel on the side you can remove them by cutting the silicone, which will enable you to see the drain pipe and the trap, and you can then inspect it for leaks (use a dry piece of paper towel to test if a leak continues after drying it initially)

If it’s due to a leak from the water supply pipes you could try turning off your water at the source/stop tap, open up your all the taps in the house and drain your system (I wouldn’t suggest doing this if you have a water storage tank). If the dripping stops after doing this, it’s likely to be your water supply pipes, as opposed to the drain.

I’m honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.

I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I’m meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe

Wow, 3DS as well…

Wait, PSP‽

Last November, the allotments at the bottom of my hill flooded for the first time since I arrived 4 years ago, this year it’s arrived in October.

Last year it wasn’t until March until they were walkable. I wonder how long it will be this year.

It got to about 4ft last time and seemingly poisoned the land as no-ones crops grew this year. Interestingly plums and pears did pretty well.

Are you meaning because people are excited about “fusion” being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here “nuclear” their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

My friend has so far fried 4 or 5 steamdecks, ROG Ally and two power banks before he took my advice to buy a type c cable tester and to stop using any charger that didn’t come with the device until he could test them.

Turned out it was a damaged cable, I think it was a CC line was no longer working.

I’ve had a couple of cheaper Chinese type c and usb A multi port chargers fail; I manage to fry like 3 sex toys before I realised the type A ports were outputting 12v, and at some point something went wrong and the type c fried my phone (which I guess is on me for continuing to use the charger after the issue with the type A ports)

Something semi ambient, preferably without lyrics: Tycho, Bonobo, Nujabes

Oh wow, you must learn manual, that’s ridiculous! Where in the world is that?

I’ve not started yet, but I’m going to learn automatic when I go to learn, my GF has been learning manual for over 2 years because her dad and our friend who drives said that it makes the most sense to, when in reality that’s just because of what they were told based on outdated advice.

She even has an automatic waiting for her once she finally passes, but she’s stubborn and doesn’t want to switch to learning automatic, it’s really frustrating how stubborn she is about not giving up or approaching it from another direction.

She has dyslexia and the British Dyslexic Association even recommends that dyslexics learn automatic as it’s a known thing they struggle with. She even had to write L and R on her hands, bless her.

I’ve heard some people benefit from intensive driving courses, where you do like 2 solid weeks of lessons then take the test, but no clue if they have those in your country

I’ve suggested to her, if she really wants a manual licence then get the automatic licence, then decide if she really wants the manual, as she’ll be more comfortable with roads and driving and can just focus on the manual aspect

+1 for prusa if you want to spend more and get something that just works with no fuss, if you’re wanting to go cheap&cheerful an Ender 3 will be a good option as well if you don’t mind the occasional bit of tinkering for about half the price, as it’s probably one of the most supported printers by the community and newer ones come with Auto bed leveling and half of the fancy stuff you had to add on back in the day.

I’d spend any money saved building/buying an enclosure and something to run octoprint with (Raspberry pi or a spare android phone)

They don’t necessarily require a starter explosive, certain types do of course. It’s more about overcoming the initial energy required, for example the arc from an electric arc lighter could probably overcome that requirement in a lot of scenarios.

For the texture/pattern around the edges where the squares are cut off; I would either remove them or taper them down towards the edges, so they are less likely to catch and eventually pull away.

Otherwise, this is a very cool idea that I’d like to see updates on!

Awh, that’s kind of crappy. I’m hoping they just took it as a gag gift; be prepared for anything, a bit like Jack Jack in The Incredibles.

I hope theynever have to use it, but I hope they do learn how important it is.

Same for cleaning dryer lint; before I was born the entire family who lived across the road from my mum perished in a house fire from dryer lint catching.

Also add Carbon monoxide detectors to that list of devices you never want to need, but should never be without

To freak us out when we’re a little bit too high…

Very true, I don’t disagree there

I have no disagreement with your assertion, aside from the neglected aspect of in terms of energy in Vs energy out; the research is likely to help inform nuclear weapons design, yet if they are able to achieve more energy out than in (3mj out Vs 2mj in (though of course they required 300mj to run the lasers to produce this reaction)) then they are providing important data that may help inform different future designs of power generating fusion reactors, this is something that current other designs don’t appear to have achieved afaik.

I doubt they will ever really use this style as a functional form of power generation, but if what they learn from the research allows eventually for a longer functioning fusion reaction that has an overall positive energy output, then it may be rather valuable.

Thermonuclear bombs are a mixture of fission AND fusion, the amount of energy required to achieve fusion requires fission to provide said energy.

Lasers igniting fusion is a bit of a more of a stretch to create a weapon from (the lasers require 300 mega joules of energy which in turn is 2mj of energy into the reaction and 3mj energy out); it may provide context and more information for fusion as a whole but that information is relevant to both weapons and energy research, not one or the other.
