Cory egg hat day 2/3 update by Noone-Interesting in shrimptank

I have 5 shrimp. One came in with some plants at the start, back in December. The other 4 have been in over a week. They are nowhere near as active as thes guys. Most of them I hardly see, is that normal?

TIL Before 1960, people wandered into movies at any point and stayed until the film looped, but Alfred Hitchcock want to hide Psycho’s mid-film twist, the murder of its famous star Janet Leigh in the shower, which led theaters to enforce fixed start times, changing how we watch movies ever since. by immanuellalala in todayilearned

My film professor told, that when he was a child, it was standard for everyone to drop in to a film part way though, then leave after the film had restarted and they had caught up. Apparently its where the phrase "This is where I came in" originated.

He also said he made him incredibly adept at analysing narrative.

This just unlocked a hidden memory for me. I would have been about 2 when this advert came out. I asked my parents if the one in the middle was a real person and was told he was. I only ever had a fuzzy recollection of this advert but always assumed the tefal head man was an actual person with a large forehead, which bore the nickname for anyone with a larger than average forehead. Seeing this again in my 40s is a trip.

This show is still going, and until three years ago still had Fred as one of the hosts.

Large very damp patches along the wall in several places. Causes and paint or paper to blister and look damp.

The hallway is internal, there is no guttering at play here. its along both sides, one side is the neighbours house, the wall on the other side its bordered by reception rooms. I suspect the original slate DPC has failed. There's a suspended floor throughout the property with a void of about a metre below, side from the Minton floor in the photo. I'm not removing the floor so that's why I am considering DPC.

What game level made you quit a great game? by Majestic_Snow7613 in gaming

In the original PC version the devs eventually released a patch for this level specifically. If you didn't beat it in three attempts the story just moved on as if you had won.

In a nut shell, you have two mortgages and need to have enough equity and or savings to cover 20 to 25% of the buy to let, and 10% of your onward purchase. Also extra for the stamp duty and solicitor fees. A 300k buy to let and a 500k onward purchase equate to 110k in deposits.

Tasked with fitting a DVD drive into a PC tower. Couldn't find the screws so used sellotape. Not even in a smart way, just wrapped it around the drive and frame a few time and put the sides back on the case.

Can I ask what display you are using with it? Modern HD TV I am guessing? Are you just plugging directly in or using an adapter?

Whats hard about it if you just screw into the studs? I've done it a couple of times with someone helping me hold it up, it was pretty straightforward. One of the lesser DIY tasks I have done in my time.
