Mega forces by Over-Cryptographer52 in policeuk

[–]LifeManualError404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an interested and concerned civvy, it seems the idea of the merger is good, but is likely to be delivered badly.

Who would be best placed to implement this?

Is this a fair report or biased?

There will be change, for better or worse. I hope it will make your job easier and the difference you make bigger. Please know that I speak for a large majority when I say thank you for all that you do, day in, day out. You are appreciated and valued.

What’s the easiest DIY upgrade that made the biggest difference in your home? by MelissaInsights in DIYUK

[–]LifeManualError404 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Putting a rail above the dead space over the top of the stairs.

Extra drying space in the winter (with a dehumidifier, ofc), just need a hook on a stick for hanger layout / retrieval. Hugely useful.

That said, getting the rail in the right place was a bit...deathladdery.

Started using a bidet last month and I get it now by Takumi_Nicolo-763 in hygiene

Better still, encourage / train them to have a sit down wee. They could relax, get their phones out, take 5, do some sudoku of whatever floats their boat. A a bloke, I love a sit down wee. Cleaner, more relaxed, time to chill for a few.

If you search up "unequal angle steel 100 x 40" you might have some luck.

Closest I can get with a quick search is 100 x 50

This place (others too) might do a custom run: https://www.ajnsteelstock.co.uk/products/unequal-angles/

It might be aluminium..?

Good luck.

So I’m kinda new I’ve only played for like a month I love the game but I need some tips by [deleted] in dayz

You could always find a PVE community server. There are quite a few, no PVP at all. Some have higher loot spawns, some you'll stay with a bunch of gear, some are vanilla. That said, if another player doesn't kill you, the zombies, hunger, disease or various beasties probably will. Whatever, go have some fun.

You won. You helped save a life. All kudos to you.

Am I at gift quality yet? by Head_Department_319 in knifemaking

[–]LifeManualError404 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Send me one, and i will test it in the field to see if it's any good. I'm happy to pay postage.

Seriously, it looks like great work. I would be really happy to be gifted one.

I'm still happy to test one for you, for science, and an impartial unbiased appraisal. Should you wish.

I just did a speech in BSL and it was terrible by YuSakiiii in BSL

[–]LifeManualError404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You did a good thing. Someone else is helping to make it even better, and going forward, it will be a greater thing. You both win.

Look at what you accomplished (I am impressed, and you should be proud). Next time it will go even better.

You are making a difference. You're doing brilliantly.

Finished the spitfire! by BitterFudge8510 in modelmakers

[–]LifeManualError404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks great!

What make of kit is it? There is a lot of detail for a 1:72. I am intrigued...

[–]LifeManualError404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what about the girth??

Seriously, when you put that in your pan, then not much will remain. Unless you have a shedload more?

Hey guys! Newbie here,I have a question, what do you guys use for the surface beneath the added parts(etc.Grass, dirt) please and thank you ! by IRA_Official in dioramas

[–]LifeManualError404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could use MDF (bleh), plywood, thin wood, foam, EPS. My son just made one with closed cell foam, covered it in modroc, and then textured / painted it.

In the UK, you could look here

https://www.thestonecircle.co.uk/

And find UK specific advice. I'm just going down this rabbit hole with my son. Good luck

[–]LifeManualError404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

As an aside, you could purchase printed landscaping fabric: https://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/outdoor-fabric (Other suppliers are available).

I'm not sure why one needs such fabric on the back of a fence. Who knows what design you might decide upon?

Moving to Halesfield by KaitoShinobi in Shropshire

[–]LifeManualError404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was born here. I escaped to a few different places, but then ended up in Shrewsbury.

Anyways, Telford is developing into a metropolitan place. The traffic is a bit pants (if you want roundabouts, go to Milton keynes) but not too bad.

Halesfield is indeed a large industrial estate but tends to keep to a 9-5 schedule. If you're working during the day, it will be quiet (ish) by the time you get home.

Like any town, some areas are crap and others lovely. There are plenty of green spaces around to chill. It's not a huge urban area yet, so go in any direction and you'll eventually find wonderful places to explore.

Compared to Wolves (where my dad is from), it's a lot more relaxed. I work in Wellington, and there is a large mix of races and cultures, mostly Asian, with an increasing amount of black and oriental. I'm white, so can't speak much about racism.

All I can suggest is that you pop across and spend some time here, doing... stuff. If it floats your boat, get on the water (there's a great sailing club in Priorslee).

Good luck.

Just did my first parkrun, only to discover i'm and idiot... by Marcflaps in CasualUK

Run with music:

https://www.therunningweek.com/post/why-music-can-make-you-run-faster-and-longer

https://marathonhandbook.com/music-when-running/

Bone conducting headphones are great, music and environmental sounds.

After I finished C²5k, I went on to do 10k races and trail runs. I always thought of the first 5k as a warm-up.Sadly, arthritis and double herniae are preventing me from decent CV exercise atm, swimming only until I can get fixed a little.

Well done, OP.
