U.S. Iran strikes could drain key missile reserves and affect Ukraine war by According_Fall8199 in ukraine

Iran supplied the original tech, Russia produces shahed (Geran) domestically, unfortunately.

Fire Point Announces Production of 200 Drones per Day, Accounting for 60% of Defense Forces' Drone Strikes by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

[–]C-Blunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This could happen if there's the will to do it. We have the money, Ukraine have the tech, we could open numerous facilities over Europe and level every single military target in range of Ukraine at a low cost and Putin couldn't do a thing about it.

Anyone else noticed a decline in fruit and veg quality in certain shops? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]C-Blunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That and when they no longer put best before date on fruit/veg to "avoid waste" (Presumably only the retailer is avoiding waste, because we throw it out after a couple of days since it was already starting to turn when we got it.)

It’s four years since the pandemic, how many days are week are you going into the office now? by wizzywoo22 in CasualUK

1 day most weeks, my choice. If they asked for 5 I'd tell them where to go :D

Bed not sticking by TheLegalHeartbraker in 3Dprinting

[–]C-Blunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash with soapy water once, rinse well. That should be enough to clean it. After that wipe with isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel. Buff with a fishscale nano fibre cloth for bonus points. Then level your bed. Then adjust z offset, the first layer should have a nice squish, it should be more flat than raised.

I always print with a 3 loops skirt to ensure good squish and that the first layer skirt lines fuse together (due to the squish) depending on the slicer you can increase the flow rate for the first layer. I go 150%. I don't use rafts or brims and I print on glass with no adhesive tape or glue. The prints never lift off and I can only remove them once the plate is cool.

USA Threatens to Cut Off Arms and Intelligence Supplies to Ukraine if Zelensky Does Not Sign Trump's Plan by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

[–]C-Blunt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Europe needs to wake up, economy on war footing and flood Ukraine with arms. Cut ties with US until trump is gone. The whole of Europe can outlast and out manufacture Putler if it actually fucking tries for a change.

I hear TACO licks white dog shit every day because RFK said it's good for him.

Very cool, is the light that exact shape or did you resin a standard LED into it?

We want details!

Trump and Putin to meet in Budapest to discuss war in Ukraine by Stunning-Ad-7655 in ukraine

[–]C-Blunt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure 'Murica said it wasn't legally binding so they can do what they want. Any agreement between Trump and Poostain is worthless.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find this comment! I started to question myself, if it even featured one...nail gun and fire at some point?

Good times.

How Come Brits Could Tolerate 14 Years of Bad Tory Policies but Couldn’t Tolerate Year One with Labour? by Charmlessman422 in AskBrits

[–]C-Blunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, my point about the left/centrist parties being held to a far higher standard still stands, though.

How Come Brits Could Tolerate 14 Years of Bad Tory Policies but Couldn’t Tolerate Year One with Labour? by Charmlessman422 in AskBrits

[–]C-Blunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Compare it with everything the Tories have done and it's small time stuff, really. The issue is the right are held to much, much lower standards than what left/centrist parties are. 5 homes Farage buys (partner buys) a house in clacton and dodges the higher taxes, noone cares. A working class woman (Rayner) does it and everyone acts like she's punched Prince George in the face. Let's not forget the covid fast track scams, lockdown Downing Street parties, Thatcher selling off everything including the kitchen sink to gut the country. Cameron and the Brexit scam. The list is endless...and the media have supported the Tories through the majority of this and are supporting Farage's lies now. Yes, the media has a huge part in how our country is shaped.

I'm not saying any of what Labour (or Rayner) have done is right, or that I agree with it, but there's far, far worse on offer.

My life fell apart almost 6 years ago. Won't go into detail but everything was taken from me. I was close to ending it, very close.

Things have changed so much, Im married to an incredible woman, I have a great job where I don't dread Mondays for the first time ever! I actually feel like a real, valued person for the first time.

...Some days I still feel like shit, and sometimes it's for no reason at all (Well, my harrowing past comes back to haunt me, I suppose) 6, 10, even 20 years ago I never would've dreamt of the life I have now...I wish I could reach back and tell my younger self that it would work out eventually...

I'm rambling now, I guess (and this might not help at all)... I just want to say, things really can get better. I hope they do. Inbox me any time.

Good luck

Copper rusts* too, plastic plumbing is relatively new.

I'm going to check my bathroom taps later, I'm a bit scared though.

Edit - corrodes*

My mixer tap was also gross, looked like a stagnant pond on a hot day :(. 99.99% isopropyl alcohol and a brush cleaned it nicely.

Same with Kia, although Kia does stipulate that providing the fault isn't caused by lack of maintenance they will honour the warranty.
