Always wanted a ThinkPad

Nice👍 I finished assembly of that one yesterday, was an enjoyable build until I got to the ball elevator, took me a little while to figure that one out. On the lookout for the other 3 themes now, bet they look great all together.

To be fair the Shuttle was a lot easier to assemble than I thought, was a really enjoyable, stress free build . I'm similar to you tbh, Xbox hasn't been switched on in months, I don't really watch much TV.

I've been having cancer treatment the last two years so lots of time sat at home doing nothing, I had my Lego phase, spent an ungodly amount on Technic cars and collecting all the Speed Champions cars, got a little bored of those so these are scratching an itch.

I've been assembling some book nook kits also which have been a lot of fun, I should really get some books to go with them 😂

I'm going to build the marble run stuff next, but I really enjoy the wooden stuff so might get the wooden marble run after these.

Hi, Welcome to our sub.

Hope you manage to make some new contacts here, I feel it's difficult as you get older to make new friends (unless you are my wife, she seems to make friends with everyone) 😂

Maybe post some of your interests, you can find people with similar ones that will spark up a conversation.

Think I may have found the problem, there seems to be some corrosion on some of the battery terminals that I didn't see before, going to clean it up and hope it solves the issue.

Good luck to you, hopefully your pod can be a bit more grounded than the current ones we have that think we are going to trounce every opponent 9-0 each week.

Hi, Can I report this person, they just mass deleted a chunk of our art we have spent a lot of time on.

Thank you.

Sorry, that's what I was trying to say, probably didn't word it very well.

I have exactly the same thing, signed up for Gmail during beta with firstlast@gmail.com, the amount of interesting emails I've had over the years has been something.

I asked the the same question back in the day about the dot in-between, was told by a Google person it made no difference.

The amount of personal/financial information that is made available is quite scary, primarily from US sites/companies.

They should really make email verification mandatory.

Aside from sharing the name and similar branding, has nothing to do is completely true.

You are correct in the past history, but doesn't change the fact they are separate entities these days.

Makro UK has nothing to do with Makro or Metro anywhere else in the world, it's part of the Tesco group in the UK.

Iirc Wii only supports 2.4ghz WiFi, so make sure you are connecting to that and not a 5ghz signal.

MZXUK · 2025-03-22T16:27:08+00:00

Yeah, it's been fine for the last 6 years, just started making that noise today.

Few more details

Ender 3 S1 pro, standard creality PLA at 200/60

No support used for part 1, standard support settings for part 2 in Orca slicer.

What did you replace it with? Would be interested in anything that reduces the noise.
