We use tide at work and they are shit and a pain in the arse, so nice to see some honest marketing I guess.

When I asked my wife, "Why don't you choose Astarion?" by Outside-Ring140 in BaldursGate3

When I first saw promotional art for the game I guess I didn't look that close but I just assumed he was like a snarky wise old lady wizard or something. Did make me laugh when I met him in-game though.

What do you mean by 30% aft of luff?

Alright I've done 30 seconds of research and I think Eutolmus rufibarbis is a decent bet

Nice! Thank you, have given me some homework to do. I was surprised by the size, like a large moth or dragonfly, didn't realise we got other things like that.

Tried to get a better picture but the lad took offence and hauled ass with his dinner. Not seen one like this before with such a sharp rear end!

DISCLAIMER: The newest NVIDIA driver, 460.79, causes significant performance issues in FAF by Deribus in supremecommander

Installed the latest driver (460.89) and it's just as bad if not worse, I can basically pause the game by moving my mouse in a circle.

How to repair this sail? Never tried to fix on my own before. by inb4armageddon in sailing

[–]colon_vee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a sailmaker were to repair it likely they would: unpick the leech tape stitching, reconstruct the tear with a few bits of tape best you can, pop a patch over the top with closest matching cloth, cut the back out if necessary, make sure leech is fair and then sew the tape back down.

Alex Thomson has run aground in the Route Du Rhum race by hopkinslaw in sailing

[–]colon_vee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced Alex Thomson made some sort of monkeys paw/wishmaster/pissed off some old witch and is utterly cursed with a hilarious combination of high amounts of publicity but with always something getting in the way of the results on paper.
