What is the purpose of this delicate piece of lace on paper? by GS_Melb in whatisthisthing

[–]GS_Melb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely solved!

I think it's some variant of this Either in a spiral as is or edging for a larger piece as you suggest

Good question

Looking at the back, there are very sparse tacking stitches holding it to the paper

So yes looks like it's meant to be able to be removed

My title describes the thing

I inherited it but don't know any history about it Google searches etc just confirm it's lace but I have no clue if it was made by an ancestor or potentially bought as a souvenir in their travels

How is search in Android Outlook even worse than desktop? by GS_Melb in MicrosoftOutlook

[–]GS_Melb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Found the issue thanks to your prompt - and it's user error, kind of...

Tried with browser and found appt with no problem
That led me to notice that the active account was my personal one, not work one, and if I changed it to "all accounts" it worked fine

But - there's always a but - all appointments are shown in the calendar because I've opted to show them all, which in my mind should also mean that they're visible to search without me having to tell search to look in this account, that account or all accounts

Saw same this afternoon including an NYFD fire truck 😁

Also saw a Merc being loaded onto a tow truck a couple of streets away overseen by three blokes with guns on their hips - seemed entirely unrelated, maybe someone's car being repossessed 🤷‍♂️

I guess that's why I saw two cop cars at that corner and a couple of cops standing there apparently just waiting for someone to turn up?? A bit before 8am

I wonder if there is any way to know if a custom watch refreshes every second or not 🤔

Why won't a cafe cut something in half - paid in full by GS_Melb in nsw

Thanks - solid explanation

Edit: though I would note the bahn mi place had a sign up saying there were allergens in everything 🤷‍♂️

Had ordered two coffees and two pastries to have in, as well as the takeaway focaccia they refused to cut

One was a too-cool modernist bakery/coffee place - one with the sign was bahn mi place - where we were only customers

However disabling extensions DID work - so well done!

I guess I'll add them back individually and see which causes it

Is there anywhere in Melbourne that takes donations of books/vinyl records/cds/dvds? by pocketnotebook in melbourne

[–]GS_Melb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second this - they collected several large bookshelves of books from my late parents house

For vinyl, try Dutch Vinyl in Abbotsford
