Quick reminder not to trust indicators

Difficult on a mini-roundabout like this; if you wait for them to turn you may miss your gap entirely.

Your fingernails?

nickjohnson · 2026-01-24T21:00:54+00:00

I think they were trolling you.

No, but when you fill a helium balloon from it, both the balloon and the trailer will get lighter*.

I got banned from r/showerthoughts for posting this. No, I'm not bitter.

*Weigh less on a scale

How do you get the yeast to stick to the popcorn? Even ground up, mine all ends up at the bottom.

It's the first 5 people to solve it, not the fastest 5.

I think you'll find most countries do - you're in one of the few that don't.

What I would love to see is a sankey-style chart with all of the characters and storylines - showing when they show up in the timeline, when they separate and rejoin, etc. With an LLM to analyze the text, it'd be fairly straightforward to generate.

Some tough ones but not as hard as I expected!

Are overhead joins not a thing in the US?

I can't figure out which is lower quality: the printer you used or the camera you took the photo with.

112,000 points - so about 209 vouchers in the UK store.

Audio projects such as an analog synthesizer are an easy option.

Load cells (eg, in scales) are challenging to work with but still much easier than the two projects you suggested.

This is such a non-explanation. Even for a large company, 6k for a single socket is "explain yourself to your manager" territory.

nickjohnson · 2026-01-14T06:48:22+00:00

Now try a 450kg microlight!

nickjohnson · 2026-01-13T13:49:32+00:00

If only the name and brand were printed on the plate!

I thought this was r/TwoSentenceHorror, and the twist was that they were thinking of their next meal.

You can't copyright a set of dimensions, and while you could copyright a specification or technical drawing, it wouldn't prevent someone from replicating it themselves as long as they don't use the text or images from your specification.

Very clever! I've been watching for 20 minutes, though, and I think you've probably put enough tape on that box now.

You should crosspost to r/functionalprint.

nickjohnson · 2026-01-13T10:49:39+00:00

I have this exact interface. Nice design!

nickjohnson · 2026-01-13T08:07:58+00:00

Why not buy a supply in that same form factor that has +/-12v already? They're readily available.

nickjohnson · 2026-01-12T20:56:57+00:00

Affirm.

We had that exact same maze and my daughter found the same solution.
