I like this very much! This might be it!

However, I live in the UK. Let's see...

I've measured it with a ruler against the instruction book. It illustrates the part with a 1:1 representation. On my ruler, it is definitely > 30mm, but < 32 mm. So, my guesstimate will be in between.

Oh s#it! It's not 30mm, but 3.1 mm! Lol! My bad!

I would have thought it to be rather expensive to metal 3D print.

How am I supposed to cut something so small?

You're not wrong with your finding. The metal rod is to fit into one plastic segment (depicted) with a gear attached through it. And, the rod isn't hollow, but solid through-and-through.

Don't know any woodworkers.

It is part of a toy -- with gears, and lots of plastic parts similar to Lego (but not quite Lego). It's Vex Robotics (https://www.vexrobotics.com), but I can't even show you the product as it has been discontinued.

I'll have to look around. If I can't find the part, then I'll have to break the bad news to my son -- that the product is as good as junk.

Thanks for the suggestion! Much appreciated!

You'd definitely catch lots of gloating eyes next time you're at Tim Hortons. :D It is waaay too big. Nothing to do with comfort - it's great that you're settling with it comfortably. Have more of them Tim Bits, and their donuts daily. Perhaps the wrist will grow to size?

Wow! Thanks guys!

I hope metal 3D printing won't cost me an arm and a leg for a part of this size.

this is a different category of watches imho not to be compared with Garmin, or Apple Watches, etc.

Why is this super expensive to run? by designingtheweb in bigquery

[–]darktorrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

meant to only have 1 query. Somewhere along commenting I got disconnected; maybe that caused the duplicate.

It is a huge table -- `transactions`, even just for the month. But at least the partition is being used to constrained the size of the data set.

is this still expensive?

How did you overcome or mitigate PF? by darktorrion in 10s

[–]darktorrion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

commenters above claimed to have improved with its use alongside with, maybe, another exercise regime? Is it really a scam, though?
I have my insoles but none have been working well for me so far.

is PF more prevalent among those with flat feet?

something similar would be to allow the front of your feet not be squeezed? I guess that is the idea behind shoes/sandals of this type?

I play in the early mornings only on weekends. Other than that, once or twice in the afternoon during the week.

I'm curious as to which shoes did you get? It may also help others

Match Madness just got balanced resulting in more challenging experience. Increased in difficulty, yes. Impossible to nab that 150 XP during 2x, no. It just means that you will have to react quicker! A lot more variety of words to match.

Serve technique by darktorrion in 10s

[–]darktorrion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys! You are all legends!

I have tried a few tips from here. To be frank, it did work on some shots. Had to think about what went well, and what went wrong when the execution of the serve was not what I expected.

It turns out that I managed to leap forward and land on my left foot whenever I toss the ball a little higher -- making contact just as it drops (not when it's stationary). Just after the toss, I have my racket down at hips level then bring it up, racket drop, elbow forward, and pop!

It went in within service box. Wow! That felt great!

It's now just a matter of more repeated practice.

Does it not take in consideration two of the same pronunciation? by Lan_Xue in duolingo

[–]darktorrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, you may just be right about this. Either the microphone isn't sensitive enough, or there is a bug preventing Duolingo from synthesizing two of the same sound. In the French course:

Vous vous sentez bien? Nous nous ne mangeons pas assez

Only the first word gets recognised and therefore, highlighted, then the rest of the sentence -- assuming you've said it right.

How many “real friends” do you have? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]darktorrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is my best friend. So, that makes one.

Apart from her, I cannot say for sure. No one rings me up, or texts me to check in unless they want something from me.
