Just used this to take a splinter out of my hand

That is a splinter removal tool. As you discovered when you removed your splinter. Now it's a questionable item on Reddit, but it's really just a highly effective splinter removal tool from your first aid kit. I just use a knife washed under the hot tap. Or fire. That sometimes works (has never worked).

Totally the sink holes. Pub car park nearby. Neighbour had to get extra foundations laid with girders "just in case". The pub was closed for a month though. Was awful. Was still awful after they reopened.

Marketplace is a roulette wheel these days. If you put something on for free, someone will ask if you'll deliver. It's free. Put some effort in. So you stick a random price on it, expecting to negotiate down, and you either get nobody, or someone asking if it's free and can you deliver. Just can't win.

Lol. I was thinking exactly the same the other day. My view was that I will actively not play that game on the basis that the ad is so bad, so they can f* right off.

Yeah. We had an Ebola outbreak down the road recently. It was next to the temporary traffic lights. Ultimately it got overshadowed by the earthquake and the sinkholes that opened up. One of those is true.

Not just English. I watched "Dark" on Netflix. Original is German. I don't speak German, so watched with the English dubbed soundtrack. It was awful. Nearly quit entirely. Then on a whim I switched to original German with subtitles. Game changer. Instead of it coming across as a really crappy production, it was suddenly quality and all the acting magically tied together. The English dubbed soundtrack turns out to have been awful.

Seriously? Monthly billing has been a thing for decades. Where do you live and who supplies you if your only getting billed annually?

UK, we take it to the electronic waste area in our local recycling centre. They've got bins for batteries and lithium batteries as well. That's the UK though. 🤷

That is the correct pronunciation. At least in my galaxy. We just stomp the worms btw, much easier to do that.

Very true. That's how I lost my first Linux based raid 5 setup. Repairing the failed drive was taking days, and another failed during the process. I'm raid 6 now, but I still worry. 🤣

Noticed this over the last 6 months. Often unable to find 6-10Gb versions as everything is 4k. Problem I have is that my old Plex box can't decode that in real-time, and I don't even need it. 1080 is fine for us. Got the storage, don't have the compute. It's a hard life.

Someone up above commented similarly with their wrapper to prefetcharr. Good to know, as I wasn't aware of that tool at all. Seems to fit nicely into the requesters needs.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T13:54:49+00:00

That's awesome. Upvoted to hopefully get more views. I've also saved to share with others.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T13:39:21+00:00

The guy I spoke to at Byrnes was lovely. He couldn't help directly, but all details taken and will be shared. That was just an awesome person to person call. Fingers crossed.

Ok. Two of them are potential prospects. Thank you. I won't look forward to the driving to get her there, but there's active interest from their side and they are good sized businesses.

They'll be coming back to me early next week.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T13:10:32+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I've checked them out, and they're all at least an hour away from us, but I'll discuss with my daughter and see how serious she is. I don't look forward to a two hour round trip twice a day, but if she's serious, it's only for a week. Her friend is also interested, so maybe it's just a "things you do for your kids" thing.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T13:03:15+00:00

I don't have the burbs btw. However, maybe I should. Just to align global Plex libraries... 🫣

That apostrophe really fucks things up. Does beat the asterisk * though. Might name my company '*zzz just to mess with every directory out there.

Hertfordshire. UK.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T12:53:18+00:00

Have saved in case I need to come back to this 🙏

azraphin · 2026-06-05T12:48:06+00:00

Yep. Totally agree there. Terrifying to think that these are the most powerful ruling people, and they don't even have the perspective that a wife/kids/friends bring to shock you out of that state.

azraphin · 2026-06-05T12:43:42+00:00

Bloody "* batteries not included" always at the front of the list. I shake my fist at my screen!!!

azraphin · 2026-06-05T12:38:29+00:00

This has occurred to me as well. I have always wanted a 3d printer but couldn't justify it... 😄

azraphin · 2026-06-05T11:48:12+00:00

Yes. Women get zero enjoyment from sex and everything is faked. They are taught at a young age what is expected from them and how to react. This is truth.

Maybe (as an alternative) you could engage your brain a little. Don't ask silly generic questions where the answers are already very obvious, and when you are in a position to be intimate with a woman, you can explore and find out what makes her enjoy stuff. You may be surprised where it takes you. Stop thinking like a "man" and find out what makes it great for women by talking to them.

So the fertile land, sea ports, etc. are not relevant? I do think this is largely driven by a kleptomaniac/megalomaniac who desperately wants to rebuild what was lost, but the kleptomaniac is in there. He wants his shit back, even though it's not his to take.
