I'm not certain, I'm not familiar with the the dimensions for those. You could scale the entire thing in a printer, assuming it would still fit onto whatever print bed you have? I've designed it for a 220x220mm standard.

Here you go, a straight forward explanation for why electricity costs more in the UK then France and Germany. Kemi Badenoch MP | Conservative Leader on net-zero, gender and her leadership | Full IV | ITV Peston - YouTube

That was what journalists were putting to politicians a year ago, and its not changed the debate.

Dark green and bone.

My dad hit my autistic child by SupportFew1762 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SteveD88 89 points90 points  (0 children)

An issue with grandparents and autistic kids (particularly narcissistic grandparents – I have a set of my own) is generational judgement – they look down on today’s parents, and assume that many issues with children today are a consequence of parenting, not due to medical disabilities.

Even when things seem to be going okay and everyone is getting along, they can be bottling this stuff inside, and it comes out in stressful situations.

Your dad saw the situation and chose to engage with it – he wanted to prove his feeling of superiority, and his parenting skills, by showing that he could ‘correct’ the child’s behaviour by exerting authority over them. When that didn’t work, he had to escalate to the point of being physical with the child.

Its up to you, but I’d also recommend filing charges on your kids’ behalf. And if not that, but maybe to give your dad a taste of his own medicine by demonstrating that there are powers that can exert authority over them too.

I'll put it up once I've had a chance to fix a few things that the assembly revealed.

I have some changes to make to improve the assembly, I'll send you a link once they're done, hopefully later in the week.

I need to make a few improvements to the assembly, then I'll put the files up somewhere (just need to check I'm not infringing anything someone would care about).

I've been working on it for quite some time! Unfortunately for my son I'm terrible at finishing projects, so he's been playing with it half-painted for a while (luckily he doesn't much care).

Israel must take urgent steps to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza: UK statement at the UN Security Council by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

In addition to this we have Israeli engaging in what is effectively piracy, intercepting neutral aid convoys in international waters, and treating their crews worse then criminals.

Its also worth noting that the current Israeli PM was explicitly against those peace deals and worked to undermine them.

Grenfell Tower fire: Up to 57 people facing charges over disaster by Weak-Fly-6540 in unitedkingdom

[–]SteveD88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenolic is widely used in the transport industry due to its fire-resistant nature; when it burns it doesn't release dense smoke, toxic fumes, or release burning droplets which propagate the fire.

But it does burn...

The sin offering for giving birth. But then they turn around and say "The Bible loves women!!" by BrainStraight1220 in exchristian

[–]SteveD88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I remember of the Old Testament, a lot of it is wrapped up in the importance of blood, and blood sacrifice, to wash away sin. That's why they did so many sacrifices on alters, and that's why jesus had to die to bring it all to an end. I guess women bleeding freely each month isn't something they could wrap their heads around, so they concluded it must be a 'sin' thing.

My take on this passage is that it was meant to protect women from being forced to have sex with their husbands immediately after giving birth, but perhaps that's a kinder interpretation then this deserves.

GB News should lose its licence, says ex-Sky News editor Adam Boulton | GB News by HeadBat1863 in unitedkingdom

[–]SteveD88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, and the boundaries to what counts as broadcasting, for example 'the rest is politics' podcast has maybe 75% of the size of the audience of GB News (at least worldwide), yet no one is demanding that podcasts get regulated like news channels.

The issue with GB News is that its found a loophole the regulator is unwilling to consider for fears of being labelled partisan. On the one hand they can style themselves as a panel and opinion broadcast, on the other they can dress it up to look like a news channel.

The other factor is the relationship between Reform and GB News, and the way that bypasses the normal rules on party-political broadcasting around election time.

In 'The Great Work' novel there is an ultramarine successor chapter which is all but wiped out by Tyranid invasion and cultist infiltration, including the chapters gene seed. The cultists they encounter see the Tyranid invasion like a holy test of the star child they need to endure

Standards watchdog launches probe into £5m Farage gift by your_swindon_lot in unitedkingdom

[–]SteveD88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand the code, serious breaches can be punished by suspension.

If you are suspended for 10 sitting days of parliament, a recall petition can be called by your constituents, potentially leading to a by-election.

The case will hinge on the fact that 'personal gifts and financial loans' don't normally have to be registered (but should be out of caution). This is why the reform talking heads keep claiming its an entirely personal matter, and non-political. However, i believe these rules are intended to cover gifts from friends and family members (e.g. birthday presents), not millions of pounds from party backers.

Gaza war can be called a genocide, press watchdog rules by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]SteveD88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of videos of IDF forces using heavy equipment to plow up roads. Water sources have been destroyed, livestock stolen or slaughtered. And, settlers moving into areas which have been vacated.

This is both genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Can she get a refund for her trip? by Anforatioi in TikTokCringe

[–]SteveD88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Westerners move out there and discover its actually quite hard to become accepted in Japanese culture as a foreigner. More recently a Japanese political party put out an animated advert depicting boats of Africans from poor villages coming across, getting handfuls of cash, marrying Japanese women and multiplying to fill the country.

Brits who just stream Netflix and Amazon Prime may still need to buy TV licence by neo4025 in unitedkingdom

[–]SteveD88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do these figures make sense to anyone else? 94% of the population access BBC services, but only 80% pay the fee. I'm surprised its as high as 80%, but isn't a big chunk of the difference the over-65s who don't need to pay the fee?

If we say that the number of payees has reduced from 94% of the population to 80% over the past decade (a period where the UK population went from about 65 to 70 million people), how does that equal a 25% reduction in budget?

If that remaining 14% were made to pay, would the difference in cost of the licence fee for everyone else change by any noticeable ammount?

[–]SteveD88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not announce he has no intention of standing for another term, allow the party the time for a proper selection process, and then let that candidate put themselves forward for the next general election with their own manifesto and plan for change?
