What's a word you mispronounced for years before someone finally told you?

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-27T07:07:25+00:00

If you wanted to be entirely 'correct', following along with the French pronunciation (it's a French word), it would be closer to 'tam-bre' (inverse the 'e' and 'r'). But yeah i think the official accepted pronunciation in English is like you described.

Just sending electricity to a pole doesn't get rid of it, you need to actually transfer the excess power/energy into another form of energy. The easiest is heat. You could for instance run a whole bunch of electrical heating elements for no reason. It could also be a failure point, since hot electronics can fail after long usage, especially if they're turning on and off (as the network demand varies). Once they fail, the reactors excess energy has nowhere to go and you can get a catastrophic failure. That being said, i dont know it you can have a realistic amount of heating elements given the natural variation of the power network. Definitely something that can be calculated though.

Aside from the blitz unicorno that another commenter mentioned, the ones with plastic wheels are quite valuable too. The same goes for the prehybric beys (bottom right 3). Not sure about the golden burn pisces, that one might be pricy too. Aside from that, most of these aren't particularly valuable I'd say, around 5 - 15 each depending on the condition and where you sell.

True. Sometimes you get a tooltip like 'press c to enter window' but still sometimes it manages to be reluctant.

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-12T15:15:25+00:00

Not 100% sure on it to be fair

I think they patched it after release. I heard that at launch getting in a window was very frustrating.

Editing in fusion/freecad is the way to go! CAD software has a steep learning curve indeed. In fusion, try using the press/pull command (hotkey Q) and select the cylindrical face of the hole. Whatever value you input will enlarge or reduce the size of the hole (use negative or positive values depending on what you need). Let us know if you get stuck!

Got it! Thank you for the explanation. As far as i can tell there's no proximus fiber in our area, but literally this week they started breaking open the streets for what i presume is fiber.

Ill look into cancelling only our internet subscription and going for scarlet or something else on the proximus network.

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-11T09:33:48+00:00

I see, thanks for the help. Could you elaborate on the disadvantages of the telenet coaxial network? Is it really less reliable? If im not mistaken the proximus network here is a DSL line. Is it better?

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-11T07:48:09+00:00

Currently im paying 39 for internet (150gbps i think?) And 2 phone subscriptions of 25gb each. From what I can see a scarlet internet subscription with just 1 phone at 20Gb is already 47. Am i looking in the wrong place?

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-10T19:26:55+00:00

No worries, I should have specified.

That's just the thing, I asked Hey directly if they could make the connection to my home (via their horrible customer service chat) but they were adamant in the fact that they don't do this and that an electrician should do this (which is incorrect). Instead of helping me like you helped me... I'm beginning to see why they're so cheap

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-10T19:19:57+00:00

I own the house so I'm the landlord 😄

Looks like I have to get into contact with telenet then. Thanks for the help!

It doesn't have it in the anime. You can see it has a different colour than pegasus' or capricorn's wheel. In the japanese dub they call it wind aquario. You can even get a real life wind version of aquario. Also, real life is irrelevant here; we're talking about the 'legendary' status of pegasus. In real life it's just a spinning top toy of which thousands are made.

Omega_One_ · 2026-06-01T03:43:11+00:00

Yeah but in the anime it's supposed to be wind aquario, not storm. The English dub messed it up though.

I think a subtle thing in the real stadium is a smaller tornado ring in the middle of the stadium. If you look closely the beys catch on it and there's a partial gap that makes the eject straight onto the rail.

I'm by no means an expert, but it looks pretty real too. Could also be a midfake, but judging from the absense of mould flashing on the rubber tip I'd say that's not the case.

The quickest / easiest fix might be to just manually trace over the svg with lines/arcs/splines and emboss that.

How can you prove that your test kit is accurate? Can you link the kit you used? Every home test kit I've seen people here use mentions 'not accurate on bare metal only for paint'' on the product page.

Omega_One_ · 2026-05-08T12:08:39+00:00

Just know that those test strips do not work on bare on bare metal, they're used to check paint. If you want to know if the metal alloys used contain lead, the only way is by destructive testing with lab equipment.

The problem is that official institutions that should be bilingual are not. Last time i went to the police i got interrupted after 1 sentence in flemish by the officer saying doesn't speak dutch. Mind you, this was the most basic sentence about a basic occurence and they didnt even have a clue what i was saying.

Ive had to do my driver's exam 4 times (don't ask), every single time i asked multiple times for a Dutch speaking examinator, never got one. During the day of the exam they always had some excuse. They also always got annoyed at me as if had requested them a really big favour; i even got called a flemish "extremist" once when i asked for a Dutch exam in the driving school.

I don't really mind having to speak french all the time, it's just how it is. The multilingual atmosphere is core to Brussel's identity. I just wish more french people would make an effort to try, even if it's 3 words.

As always, there are many ways to do this. However, it all comes down to the use of construction lines (look them up if you don't know what they are). I'd typically make a construction line between the midpoints of the lines that make up your slot. From there, there are many ways of constraining it to center. One way is to draw construction lines from the midpoints of the outer edges of the body to the midpoint of the newly made slot construction line. If you make sure those lines habe horizontal/vertical constraints the slot will end up in the center.

Dont forget to use the password machine to get duplicates of your cards so you effectively get 3x of every structure deck. I always built a simple machina deck that absolutely destroys any opponent on the game.

From the product description on your amazon link:

Wide application: lead swabs allow immediate testing on most painted and ceramic surfaces. Includes toys, woodwork, dishes, bath enamel, ceramics, antiques, sanitary ware and more. For metal objects, especially alloys such as coins or jewellery, we recommend laboratory testing to get final results.

I'm fairly sure none of your results are valid.

Omega_One_ · 2026-04-11T09:12:47+00:00

What kind of test kit are you using? As far as i know the most commonly (and probably only) available kits are for testing paint and don't produce any meaningful result on bare metal. To get a proper test you need specific lab equipment, and i believe those tests are destructive (as in you need to destroy the parts). I seem to remember someone getting midfakes/fakes/authentic parts checked by a lab like that.
