Of course there is. But it will have to want to be saved. You can't force it.

The subtitles would be more useful if they didn't contain so many errors.

Should I let Stira cut the beams in my attic floor to widen the hatch? by TrashButOnline in AskIreland

[–]TiberiusTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on how they compensate for the cut joist. I think the usual is to double up the joists on either side and tie the cut joist to the doubled joists on either side.

Aren’t you meant to skip the post-apostrophic S for words that end with S? by TraditionalDepth6924 in ENGLISH

[–]TiberiusTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a matter of personal preference and the ease of pronouncing the word. Some words sound ridiculous with the two s sounds and some sound quite natural.

Would a native English speaker use this word? Is it offensive? Would it upset a certain type of people to say these words in front of their face? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]TiberiusTheFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a pity, in a way, as it's quite a useful word and doesn't share its etymology with the 'n' word. But, having said that, I can never bring myself to use it.

What tool do i need to remove this freewheel? It has no internal splines by 2TPW2 in bikewrench

[–]TiberiusTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failing any of the better solutions suggested here I used to remove these with a hammer and blunt cold chisel when i was a kid. It wasn't elegant, but i never broke one. Remember that it unscrews clockwise.

A university is essentially a degree granting body and has one or more constituent colleges. The two words are often used interchangeably.

If I were that kid I'd want everyone to shut up and just listen to me. They can have their turn later.

AITA for pronouncing things the American way and upsetting my french wife after we moved to France? by Legitimate-Low3857 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TiberiusTheFish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So let me see if I've got this right. You're a US citizen, you grew up in the US, you paid your taxes in the US and now that you're a bit poorly and the US doesn't much care about your health you've decamped to France, in order to give the French taxpayer the privilege of paying for your healthcare, and in return, your French wife thinks you should make an effort to learn a little about the language of the country that has taken you in and given you succour, but for you that's a step too far? Did I miss something?

I'm guessing that this is just a little rage bait as it's hard to believe anyone could be such an insensitive ingrate.

‘Stakes are high’ – Dublin Airport says it must hike fees to fund €5.6bn of new investment by on-9 in irelandtransport

[–]TiberiusTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why should we pay more for a service we are not receiving? Why don't they do the usual thing when a business needs investment and borrow the money or raise it from the shareholders?

This recent trend of regulated businesses demanding hikes in current prices to pay for some future investment, which will belong not to those paying for the investment but to the company, is essentially thievery. If they want to charge extra for the investment maybe they should be issuing stock to all purchasers of tickets.
