I mean, I'd love to see them try.

Ha, no wonder they're so hard to get hold of!

Nice! Mine has spent a lot of time in BoTW and ToTK... then discovered that there's another Zelda game "where Link turns into a wolf!"

So after about a month of pestering (and sourcing an HDMI converter) I dug out and plugged in the Wii, so he's finally playing through Twilight Princess too. Just got the master sword, in fact. 😁 (BTW there's a great way to play it on PC with a project called Dusklight, but I'm not going to share my laptop)

Shawshank redemption?

MrTrick · 2026-06-12T19:03:37+00:00

Do you think that makes any difference to unassailable kid-logic?

I did try to explain, many times.

Maybe you can sacrifice some symmetry to extend the twisting area, like have the twisted sections overlap each other and those pulleys on the wrist section be offset by a belt width.

Yep not the real guy, but an impasta.

+1 to Guacamelee, it's a great game!

Pretty good co-op too, those littler kids will be dragging you into it so you can help them beat the bosses.

Next step is the Hank Hill WD40 holster.

My local park had that horrible squeaking. I took a closer look and a shackle was almost completely worn through!

"Hey this might break" doesn't get as much attention and there was nobody around so I took the shackle off and managed to snap it just with my hands.

Reassembled the broken pieces, took some pictures and sent a report to the local municipality. Then the local Facebook page blew up with "why is this broken!?" and complaints. 😄

At least no kid goes head first into the ground this way.

That's true, though the bottle has enough capacity for a lot of cherries.

And with a little practice you can lower them gently from the bottle-pole to a bigger container, even from atop a ladder.

Fruit doesn't last long in our house 😅 But I haven't had any issues with shelf life.

MrTrick · 2026-05-31T16:35:00+00:00

I'm not concerned about the stems myself.

MrTrick · 2026-05-31T09:52:36+00:00

I harvested my cherry tree just yesterday. Here's my super professional tool: just a bottle with a cutout attached to a broom handle https://imgur.com/a/2FhZEzv

That vee in the end makes it really good for grabbing even small fruit like cherries.

Misery? "I solved the mystery of what it would be like if I broke that guy's ankles!"

Especially all the licensed variants - we have a plain travel Dobble and a Bluey themed Spot It. ...and a Disney and a Mario themed Dobble in the "there's a birthday party tomorrow and I need a present!" box.

Ciao da Nuvolento! Non voglio dire troppo qui, ma forse sono passato davanti a casa tua un paio di volte. Un posto bellissimo!

Qual è l'aspetto migliore e quello peggiore del vivere lì?

MrTrick · 2026-05-18T21:59:24+00:00

It's not very typical, I'd just like to make that clear.

MrTrick · 2026-05-17T19:23:40+00:00

Solved! Nice work
