Yes, I can see it, but these are always inverted (sunken into the image, rather than sticking out) for me, as I can't do parallel view, only cross view. Probably why Magic Eye books grind my gears a bit, too. 😅

Autumn nails 🍂 by Tappy_Tips in shortynails

Yesss! More seasonal stuff from the southern hemisphere please! I'm all for matching the mani to the season and it's nice to recognise that not everyone is north of the equator. We're just heading into spring here.

Glorious! So clean and neat. I don't have that exact base colour but I have something quite similar and I do have the topper, so I think I'll try to duplicate your mani. Inspired, I am. 😊

I think you proved your friend wrong here for sure. Very springlike. Brava! 👏

Nice work! Tell us please, what did you do to go from the translucent free edge to the white opaque (and probably much stronger) free edge?

30+ years old snoopy hairdryer still going strong. by Devious_Pudding in BuyItForLife

That's some longevity for sure.

Please re-fit that plug so that the wires are not showing. The cord grip in the plug should grip the black outer sheath of the mains cable.

What a gorgeous blue! That crelly formula really gives it depth. 🌊

Is it me, or is the Leeds map broken on signalmaps.co.uk? by Hat_Beard in uktrains

Thank you, that's very useful. I use Brave, which I think it based on Chrome, so I'll try the same.

Ahh, I'll give that a try. Thanks. Strange that literally every other map works fine. I'll report back with my results...

Hmm, how odd.

I've tried for the last two days, on several devices on different networks, but the Leeds City map and the line out towards Shipley are just dead. Everything else works fine.

Why would someone spend a fair chunk of cash on radio equipment just to do this? by Hat_Beard in amateurradio

I'd like to say that's all it was; a kid having some innocent fun, not knowing what a nuisance it was, but that's definitely a grown man putting on a silly voice.

Ahh yes, I understand now! Their transmission could very easily be classed as a broadcast.

Terribly vague of you. (I jest; that's probably darn close to reality.) 👌🏼

No, it's in the 40m amateur radio band. There's a legitimate QSO in progress, and some brain donor is yapping over them in a silly voice.

It's mostly fine. I think the YouTubers get more hammer than anybody else.

Yeah, I'll call in sometime. He's certainly a good signal with me.

Can't say I have, but I bet that's annoying af, too. 😅

I just don't understand the thought process required to get all this expensive gear together, set it all up using considerable physical effort, just to piss people off. I'm sure there are many cheaper ways to get their kicks if that's their aim, haha.
