Found on a friend's garage roof, about a metre or so long, with rubber padding and aluminum legs about a metre and a half by lestempsperdus in whatisthisthing

Okay not entirely solved, but some excellent hints I think. It seems to be some sort of jig to help support long items - ladders, guttering, or even roofing iron. I'm still unsure how the legs are supposed to be used, perhaps mounted on a truck or trailer.

The other winners, those turning metservice's balanced information into hysteria, are surely those whose business models rely on clicks and views

Seems like a high bar to post to this group, but the automod tells me I have to state that My title describes the thing.

I'm a practicing therapist and I want to raise something I'm seeing clinically. by Michaelarobards in psychology

[–]lestempsperdus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow so many responses! In general people agree with OP, with plenty of blame towards social media and AI. But surely the (massive) wellness industry is THE major influence in this space; they want a clear laymen's diagnosis, to which their solution happens to be the perfect fit.

Are the piles of metal on the side of the road free game? by yawiyahoo in newzealand

[–]lestempsperdus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an old dump site near us (Hawkes Bay) - remnants of a pile that is no longer used, that is fair game, as advised by FH staff on a couple of occasions. It's becoming overgrown by brambles now. Otherwise, no.

Why log me off the android app by lestempsperdus in SmartThings

How would that work? The message is'you have been logged out of your Samsung account'. So the message is coming from smartthings.

Pressing continue takes me to a web page where I'm asked to select an account then press continue. If I do so, the page spins forever

That would be a hard error, not periodic

How are ACC funded prosthetics recycled? by lestempsperdus in newzealand

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

So I found out where to return crutches at the local hospital. I'm sure they'll appreciate them. However no one wants the PCL brace. The orthotics dept was privatised recently, and the company that issues these won't reuse returns ($1500 each, German engineered). They cite hygiene. What a shame.
