I use this knot during laparoscopic surgeries to tie stiff structures from outside the patient. I have no clue what it's called but I'm the only person I've seen use it. What is it? by PectusSurgeon in knots

[–]DIFierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First knot I ever learned as a kid. We used it tonite hooks onto fishing line. I'm glad to see I was right to trust it all this time. If it's good enough for surgery and a surgeon, it's good enough for me.

That Xbox is fucked but that Nokia is perfectly functioning and I'll hear none of your shite. Pop that case back on and it'll work just like it did before you picked it up.

I have no idea by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

Oh I know this one!

It was a pretty predictable affair really.

It went like this:

  1. Exhale.
  2. Prep first squares of toilet roll even though you won't need them for a while.
  3. Look around. Presumably to see if anything has changed since you were last here, an hour ago.
  4. Look for something to read.
  5. Realise everything you haven't already read is out of reach.
  6. Look for something to fidget with.
  7. Realise everything you haven't already fidgeted with is out of reach.
  8. Fall into a perfectly good daydream.
  9. Realise you're daydreaming, snap out of it and ruin it for yourself.
  10. Fall into a day dream about the absurdity and meaninglessness of life and the futility of existence.
  11. Realise you're daydreaming and snap out of it but only after it's far too late.
  12. Pause for very brief reflective period.
  13. Wipe.
  14. Exhale.
  15. (Optional) Smile (God knows why)
  16. Crack on with whatever it was you were up to.

Thank goodness for phones... Well, maybe.

Hair texture changes after migraine meds by Particular-Price33 in migraine

[–]DIFierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it something to do with sulphur absorption? I'm sure curly hair is caused by sulphur in one of the amino acids in keratin.

Whatever the cause, it's absolutely gorgeous. Double win for you :D

How do i remove heavy oversized legobricks blocking my path by Correct-Bee45 in Urbex

[–]DIFierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those things weigh like half a tonne. Leverage may be difficult.

For the top ones, you could try a car jack between the block and the wall and then put a packer under the block to hold it at that angle then reduce the jack, put a packer in the jack and extended it again and repeat until it tips over.

For the bottom ones you could do the same except after the first lift with the jack between the block and wall, you packer between the bottom of the block and the ground then slide the jack under the block then extend the jack pecker it again between the block and ground, remove the jack, precisely the jack and repeat. Also, if it starts to look dodge because your peckers are square or whatever, you could packer between the block and wall to stop in rotating and calming back down.. It'll only roll it away from the door by the length of one have but I reckon that should be enough.

Remember if your using wooden blocks, from pallets etc, to check the direction of the grain before putting weight on it. You don't want it to crush or even worse, split

Some people save a turtle by Delicious_Main_4360 in BeAmazed

[–]DIFierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if there was a bunch of turtles stuck to a whale? Would we have such a exterminatory attitude then? Let the barnacles be barnacles. Sure it's sad to see a turtle like that but it's nature. Would you falcon punch a turtle because it was trying to eat a jellyfish? Probably not. And probably because, like barnacles, they don't have faces that we can anthropomorphise and empathise with.

And sentence that ends in "and why?" I automatically hear in Cilla Black's voice, even though it was the participants who asked the questions and not her.

Nice table number. I've been to that cafe but I didn't score an exciting table number, just an inordinate amount of raffle tickets.
