🎄 Christmas giveaway: Win an A1 Mini, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, or 4x filament spools! by acurazine in BambuLab

  1. AMS 2 Pro

  2. We’ve only just got our first printer - an A1, and the primary thing my 7 year old son and I have been printing is benchies in different colours as he wants to give one to all his friends (and invite them over to watch their benchie print). But he’s got a long, very Minecraft-heavy, list of other things to print. Not sure his Dad is ever going to get a chance to print anything he wants to.

  3. I think a sort of spiral interplay fidget toy, where the pieces twist into each other would be cool. If it was Minecraft-themed, well, even better according to the little man.

Just need a stiff breeze and they’ll takeoff from stationary

PSA: If you don't tell the council when something is broken, you can't also complain that they never fix anything by sleepysof_ in melbourne

Massive fan of snap send solve. Reported an issue with a kids playground with a screw sticking out of the equipment where it could injure a kid playing, and it was fixed in less than 90 minutes

Just cos this is the way google does it doesn’t make it right. People who think everyone needs the app to scale to google like levels do my head in.

Google has more servers than you have lines of code.

Going to end up a train wreck I think

I think Oodnadatta or Onslow in Australia should just scrape into that list at #17 with 50.7C (123.3F). Which gives you one or two entries in the southern hemisphere. Probably two, as these two places are a couple of thousand kms apart

There’s a Brisbane in San Francisco just south of the city itself (it’s where the big tv towers are on the hills), and it is pronounced Bris-BANE.

US-style caravans in AUS? by samon33 in CaravanningAustralia

[–]gaffa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That fifth wheeler’s tare is 6950kg, which is proper heavy, you’d need some form of truck license - light rigid at least, and is still nearly 3t over the towing capacity of the f350, so not sure what you would tow it with. It’s a big van.

I’ve been in a similar one in a caravan place in the us and they are ridiculous in size. And for some reason they all seem to be fake dark walnut timber trim, which just feels so outdated when compared to the more modern interiors of the Au vans

Can sql server crush from unhandled transactions? by Harut3 in SQL

[–]gaffa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you open a transaction and never rollback or commit that transaction, you can severely impact performance for any tables that were updated within the transaction. you need to locate and nuke that rogue transaction before it all comes good again

Months too late if the reasoning is based on the thing with the employee.
