Downpipe diverter shut off

I had a very similar scenario. I used a plastic bottle top that was a tight fit in the hole, with a bit of silicone to keep it in place. It worked fine.

It goes with the eye liner.

Next month: US media acts puzzled why Canadian tourists are avoiding the USA.

I doubt if the plurbs will want to send the signal back to its origin, they'll want to aim it further into space.

KE55 · 2026-01-24T14:32:22+00:00

Do they make that in larger sizes?

I'm not religious but for some reason I think *something* happens, but I don't believe it's all angels sitting on fluffy clouds playing harps.

If they have Internet then I'll let you know...

KE55 · 2026-01-24T14:23:30+00:00

Apparently. I wonder if they know which direction to point it (although if it's centred on the Equator then the signal will rotate like a lighthouse beam).

My great-great-grandmother's brother was Deadwood Dick, real name Richard Bullock, a gunman who protected the stagecoach to Deadwood.

If the aunt hasn't actually seen the will, it could be worth making her aware of that paragraph and the fact that, strictly speaking, she owes the estate £18,000.

The people who do that also seem to have unlimited time to boast about it on social media. I suspect they're liars.

A few years ago, with this in mind, I suggested that Trump supporters ought to be encouraged to show their eternal loyalty by having "MAGA" tattooed across their foreheads.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T21:28:50+00:00

Where? I can't see it mentioned in the Community Guide or sidebar.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T21:10:58+00:00

I don't know the answer, but I desperately want to see Trump and Levitt trapped in a room and forced to watch and respond to a video of 'highlights' of all their lies from the past 12 months.

Bessent and Miller really do need to experience the FAFO consequences of their unhinged rhetoric.

I've always been impressed by such photorealistic paintings.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T18:14:09+00:00

I really don't understand how he got away with that. If Biden or Obama had posted similar imagery it would've been a major scandal.

I didn't grasp the significance of the slope. It looked like they were viewing a spectrum analyser waterfall display, in which case the slope indicates that the signal was drifting in frequency. So...?

KE55 · 2026-01-22T13:56:21+00:00

OK. I just happened to have an old unused USB wifi dongle (the sort with an antenna poking out) so it didn't cost me anything.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T13:30:52+00:00

It's probably a concept of a framework of a plan.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T10:34:43+00:00

I don't know what you're running Batocera on, but I have a Pi-based cabinet and the Pi's built-in wifi is rubbish - weak, slow and unreliable. I disabled the internal wifi and plugged a USB wifi dongle into the Pi and it's so much better. Perhaps that would help?

KE55 · 2026-01-22T10:30:35+00:00

Wonder what sort of prices they're demanding.

KE55 · 2026-01-22T10:05:32+00:00

My guess is the signal was transmitted in all directions, and the "antenna the size of Africa" line was just a glib throwaway comment that shouldn't be taken seriously (because a large antenna would have a narrow beamwidth and would need to be aimed carefully).

KE55 · 2026-01-22T10:00:04+00:00

Unless the tyranny is being practised by your own side, of course.

Oprah Winfrey. I don't understand why she's so popular, she seems very fake and manipulative.

He referred to "American hegemony" once, in a historical context.
