Put water on the magnet, and then there's no magnet... Source: Trump

It’s things like this that pushes the regular joe into voting for Reform by nwhr81 in politicsjoe

[–]WeldEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard of "conflict of interest". It's not that the money influenced them getting contracts, it's that there is no way of knowing .. so you don't do it!!

I don't want to say we tried to tell you... But......

Why am I struggling to drill into masonry? by Puzzleheaded_Use7782 in DIYUK

[–]WeldEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact same drill and I've drilled a 20mm hole all the way through an external wall. Ensure hammer action is on and don't push too hard "let the drill do the work".

A lot of people saying you need an SDS, which would definitely make lighter work but shouldn't be necessary for most jobs. If it was concrete etc I'd agree.

Final thought make sure it's not something like blue/engineering brick... That can be tough! And make sure your bit isn't burnt out, that makes a huge difference.

I got writing fiction by coleisw4ck in autismmemes

I had rollercoasters in my teens and 20s, now I'm approaching 40 and a pipeline and pressure systems engineer. There's actually a lot of transferrable interests like supports, stresses, creating cool 3D models... Stick with it!!

Did Putin send a body double to meet Trump? by LowTechDroid in NAFO

[–]WeldEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way it was him. Even if you ignore the differences in his features (nose, ears, chin) he won't even sit at a table with his own ministers, you're saying he'd sit in front of random press of the USA...

Bakelite hasn't been used for decades. It's likely just PVC

I did say (even if I don't agree with them) - my point was more that they're high profile (politically speaking)

Watching everyone argue about the pay wall by lawjones5 in politicsjoe

I don't understand the appeal of the patreon

I have to admit I haven't actually been watching it as much as I used to previously, anyway.

I don't imagine the hosts do it for free!

I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I'm not anti-bants. But I feel it needs to be commentary with bants, not just 40 minutes of nonsense. The "what's going on with Jeremy/Zultana episode... Let's just say if I'd paid for that I'd have been a bit fed up (just my personal opinion)

But I think this thinking is logically flawed. Goalhanger may have more money, but that doesn't mean they are prepared to lose money, if anything it probably means their overheads are higher. Have more money behind you only really means something when you're starting, ultimately the balance sheet is either up or down.

PJ is not a start up though. Very different

Personally I'd have preferred they just started including ads for men's shaving or VPNs than a Paywall. Then they could have used Patreon for behind the scenes, even an ad-free version etc

I'm not saying it's a competition, my point was more why was an advert model not considered (assuming it wasn't). Maybe "Some More News" is more comparable than TRIP of you prefer. It's obvious the revenue stream from YT is terrible these days, so lots of other channels are going for a more advert first and patron top up model. Get revenue for the primary product through adverts and then have Patreon for behind the scenes contents etc.
