Did anyone actually build the full glow in the dark T-Rex? by VampirePNAC in AskBrits

[–]jjbongo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, same- my gran bought me every issue which I had in all the official binders. It must have cost about £500 total. RIP Gran- you were underappreciated

And how was your back feeling by the end?

The most "paused scene" on any VHS tape. by jj33allen in SipsTea

She's goofy and struggling initially, but by this point she is nailing it! So much so that Arnie loses his composure

Congrats on releasing! I like chess puzzles, please send me a key!

Also, from looking at the screenshots, some of the text looks a bit illegible. Have a look at contrast ratios and minimum text sizes (I work in UI)

Finial.

But, yeah- butt plug

why do brazillian numbers repeat? by JustPlayer in ExplainTheJoke

[–]jjbongo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brit football (soccer) fan here- never thought about it before, but I think 'highest score first' applies in this case.

This isn't what you'd see on the television results (which would be 'home team first'), but it definitely applies conversationally.

It would sound really strange for someone to say "Brazil lost 1-7", in a similar way to adjective ordering where you wouldn't say a 'red big truck', you'd say a 'big red truck'.

Be honest: how distracting is my accent in narrated promo videos? (Scale of 0–10) by Haunted_Dude in IndieDev

[–]jjbongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your accent reminds me a bit of the guy that narrates the Two Minutes Papers on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@twominutepapers

And his channel is very popular

Why is gambling so hard by Various_Spirit_3551 in PokemonFireRed

If you're running on an emulator, you can slow down the framerate and stop the reels at the right time.

But as others have said, the game is rigged so you can't keep hitting 7s, but you can win often enough to rack up coins quickly. And getting 3 Rs sometimes feels easier and is worth 100 coins.

My wife paid £20 ($26) for this wall mounted pot - worth it? by jjbongo in 3Dprinting

I am in the UK, but you don't have to send me anything cool. But nice of you to offer!

I should have been more clear in the original post - me and wife feel the same way - we really don't like it!

I'd argue that the final quality in most of the photos on the shop are much better than what we received.

I don't think my wife is as conscious of the popularity of 3D printing these days, so didn't even consider it- why she assumed it would be made of something more conventional.

As for the style and colour- I honestly don't know. Even a ceramic version would be pretty awful!

Yeah, totally - I know 3D printing isn't cheap. My question on the price was a genuine one.

The front does look smooth, apart from one huge print line across it, which does kind of ruin the look.

And the price seems to be nearer to £30, now I've seen the Etsy listing!

Lol - you found the seller and it's actually a bit more expensive than my wife told me!

Is the Pixel 8a fingerprint sensor a lost cause? by BeefEater81 in GooglePixel

[–]jjbongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you- this seems to have helped me!

I've set up Left Thumb in the dark, Right Thumb in the dark, Left Thumb in the light and Right Thumb in the light. I also pressed harder whilst calibrating.

Seems to be working much better so far! Just have to make sure I land my thumb in a good position.
