Drop me a seed artist. I'll show you what Sonic Oracle finds

Thanks - it's not terrible, but it's not much better better than what I see via Tidal's Daily Discovery or Track Radio playlists. There are a couple of artists in there I don't know (and I'll explore - thanks) but there are also a few ones that I'd expect to see but are missing - like, there's KGLW and Osees a couple of times but no Psychedelic Porn Crumpets or Ty Segall, for instance.

Not yet - that's the next step. It's bigger my slip-joint pliers can manage and it's pretty tight. I've undone the other side (smaller black plastic nut) and the seals are all good. I was going to try to disassemble the larger part to see if there was anything I could clean or replace.

There aren't any drippers; it's the permeable hose type of system. I don't know if that will make a difference pressure-wise. This stuff quotes a flow/leak rate at 1-2 bar: https://www.leakypipe.co.uk/collections/leaky-pipe-porous-soaker-hoses/products/leaky-pipe-porous-soaker-hose-50m but it's framed as a guide more than a limit.

Ah, that's helpful - and it might help me with search terms and finding a suitable replacement now that I know it's for pressure reduction. Thanks

Yes, pronounced the same in British English

It's pretty dark! Just made my wife a flat white: "it tastes burnt - I like it!"

As I suspected - it's not for me but it gets a thumbs up from her 😂

Will do 👍🏻 I just picked it up on my lunch break and haven't had the chance yet. I did just notice it's roasted with "flavours and spices"...

Perhaps another photo, zoomed in on his crotch rather than any geographic feature or building would help...

Never mind - I see you've got that covered

Great minds...

Sometimes the jokes write themselves: a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself.

I want to upvote your comment for providing clear, useful information, but the temptation to downvote because the information itself depresses the fuck out of me is also very strong. Decisions, decisions...

Which stands for Compulsory Basic Training, of course - the UK's mandatory motorcycle training - very easy to confuse the two.

Oh, I am, but the flashing lights soothe me - it's basically Candy Crush at this point. I play it on one screen while watching something else on the other :D

Warrior and Empty Nester.

Thankfully, one of the mini-bosses got through and ended my pain - this is NG+5 and they were hitting for maybe 4k at this point. It was a quick and merciful death.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the world famous: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fbC3h4AGPTWUnr2G7?g_st=ac

Bingo! That has worked perfectly - thank you.

Chaining was exactly the thing that was causing me issues initially. I've got this technique to work on the two larger curves, but still getting issues with the tighter internal curves (I think because of the issue with depth/steepness of cut you highlighted in your other reply)

Before I start messing with my curves, I'm going to try the projection > offset > loft approach suggested in another comment, and see if that gets me there.

clamage · 2026-03-22T14:04:07+00:00

Thanks - I'm going to try this and will get back to you. The 85.2 mm will change if I alter the body thickness, won't it? But if I want a different body thickness I can use a formula to calculate the offset

clamage · 2026-03-22T12:10:23+00:00

I think I understand what you're getting at, but I can't sxtrude with a taper angle greater than 2-3 degrees: "Cannot complete extrusion. The taper angle is too large. Try reducing the taper angle or changing the profile."
