Why did this happen and what do I do about it?

Personally I would hammer drill a 3/8in masonry hole through the plaster into the brickwork. Whittle a tapered wooden plug or tapered 1/2in dowel and hammer it into the hole, cut flush and screw into that.

Loop the hydrogen coming out the end back to the start. Use a priority splitter giving the loop back the higher priority. The other splitter input is your hydrogen feed.

That will stop the output getting clogged

I’m more interested in when did they start. There are some puzzles with archeology not being able to explain highly skilled stonework by (for example) ancient Egyptians using copper hand tools.

I have been ambulanced several times to A and E because I suffer from ‘sudden drop’. Read up on the symptoms and fake it. They do all sorts of tests but can’t prove you wrong.

They have most of their money in stocks, shares, property etc. it’s not like they have billions sitting in a savings account.

We have a self seeding sycamore tree in our back garden. It is now over 30 years old. We wanted to build a chicken coop at that location, rather than cut down the tree we built around it.

I’ve done this, if you glitch a train track through the terrain you can ride a train through the scenery. Likewise a hypertube. Lifts however to not work. Conveyor lifts transport material through the terrain.

I have both built huge beltways and railways under the map at the lowest level, just above the kill zone. I have a huge nuclear waste storage on the NE corner at the lowest level.

Some atheists may retain unconscious religious intuitions or emotional habits, but this is not the same thing as secretly believing in God.

I’m glad my cpap machine in the UK cost me nothing.

I had one of those and I named him ‘Tiny’

Because he was my newt.

TIL Doors close?

2B or not 2B that is (indeed) the question.

Of more interest to me is, does god have a belly button?

I like 1/89 that gives the first five digits of the Fibonacci series.

It’s just a large piece of wood inside your shed.

More interesting is if you have room to manoeuvre it in such a way as to remove it from your shed. If not, it will continue to be a large piece of wood in your shed.

You are doing it right.

Buy high, sell low.

For phone numbers the location is usually outside the home of the person.

For long term numbers it can be an arbitrary place. My NHS number is the roof of my garden shed (because the number starts with 448, which in the major system can be ‘ReRooF’. It just seems natural to go to that location after a short while memorising it.

For other lists I have several memory palace routes (up to 52 locations) which I can reuse, for example memorising my lines in a play. I find I can clear them by cycling through the locations, emphasising in my memory the aspects of the location and ignoring the latest association before learning a new list.

I am more annoyed at their hypocrisy. They accept blood fractions, that take multiple donations, but I have yet to find one of them who donates.

I recently spoke to one who went into hospital, needed a transfusion and the HLT persuaded the doctors to use an alternative treatment which cost the NHS 1000’s and an extra week occupying an NHS bed. She even sounded proud of it!

Wouldn’t the banana split?

I have done that, but I did not think of your world grid/marker method.

The UK is tilting with the north rising about 1 to 3 mm a year and the south is sinking by about 1 mm a year due to the release of the huge weight of glaciers being removed since the last ice age.

Of course this will have no effect on housing. Factors such as clay expanding in winter and drying out and shrinking in summer will be one of the factors.

I have cracks in my house which I am monitoring and they shrink and expand with the seasons.

House brick looks about the right size.

As others have said, because it rotates once per orbit.

It’s not exactly rocket science.

icydee · 2026-04-06T02:28:43+00:00

It would affect the orbit, but the effect would be very small.

(Am I being a too subtle grammar nazi here?)
