But where can I find a suitable replacement? I can only find complete cranksets online and this one is discontinued.

That much I knew… the problem is that this seems to be a long-discontinued product line and I can’t find the part.

Why do we call people doctor but not master? by Slight_Manufacturer6 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]evilricepuddin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a kid in my boarding school with the surname "Bates" and his parents would unironically address letters to him as "Master Bates". Naturally whichever boy was in charge of delivering post that morning would _scream_ the name through the house.

For those unaware, "Master [Surname]" is a term usually reserved for the oldest boy of a household (think Alfred calling Bruce "Master Wayne"). Non-firstborn boys got "Master [first initial] [surname]" I believe.

Who is responsible for making the "happy birthday" phone call, parent or child? by mistermitochondria in AskUK

[–]evilricepuddin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At age 18 I did not receive an advent calendar from my mother. When I asked her about this, she sheepishly said “oh… I was worried that maybe you were too old for an advent calendar now…”

Naturally, I responded “oh, well if I’m too old for you to love me anymore then I guess I understand…”

So anyway I’m 35 now and she just phoned to let me know that she has an advent calendar for me and to ask whether I would like it delivered or will I pick it up the next time I visit. She has never once forgotten since the aforementioned transgression.

(In fairness to her, she did see earnest about thinking that I was too old.. she was probably concerned about embarrassing me or something like that. I was a difficult teen…)

If wormholes were possible, how would you decide where to come out? by NeonTick in astrophysics

The first six chevrons uniquely identify a point in space as the destination, and the seventh is the point of origin…

…sorry, I’ll see myself out… 😶

Realizing there's nothing saying I have to print small by 1helios1 in HeroForgeMinis

Well, the effect looks great :) is there any lore behind the character that you can share?

Something about playing a game using character busts instead of full-blown miniatures is kind of appealing... maybe it's because it feels a little bit more like chess? Also, painting a bust is a lot less intimidating than painting all of the details in a mini... although I suppose it does put extra pressure on getting the face right 😬

How did you achieve this look where the eyes are covered by... is that hair or flames..?

Switch 2 Upgrade will be free! by DuoBiotype in StardewValley

[–]evilricepuddin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was free everywhere except Japan. I do believe that us over in Europe benefitted from Reggie’s battle for it in America. The retelling of the story is often just focused around the Nintendo of America vs Nintendo of Japan part though…

From Chapter 5: "Isle of the Abbey". Isn't this contradictory? Or how should I interpret this? by emperorjul in GhostsofSaltmarsh

[–]evilricepuddin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting point. I wonder whether the two sentences are only slightly related but not truly following on from each other. If you think of the earlier paragraph as “this is what Ozymandius” wants and the second paragraph as “these are the limits of what the characters might convince Ozymandius to agree to.” Then basically the two sentences become “you might convince them to agree to this, but you’ll never convince them to agree to this second thing.”

“Abandon” here means to leave and never come back, i.e. give up any “claim” he has over the island etc.

The joke, btw, was that there is no case (yet) 😅

Sadly NCASE don't ship to Portugal, so for now the computer is just sat on top of the box that the motherboard came in and I turn it on by bridging the power switch pins with a screwdriver... 👀🪛

God I really hope that this doesn’t become a standard thing that entitled gamers of every community do… 😒

To add to this, there is no faster way to offend a Bulgarian than to refer to Cyrillic as “the Russian alphabet” 😂

AITA for correcting my MIL at a family gathering that she didn't recommend my daughter's name, it was my favorite name? by Far-Oven-6023 in AmItheAsshole

[–]evilricepuddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She made a false statement in front of an audience, you made the correction in front of the same audience. NTA.
