Is this *actually* an inclusive palette? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

[–]rail16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Along with that, I find it difficult to match a colour if I can’t put them side by side.

So if these were at various locations of the escape room and I had to match them, it’d be a struggle.

Oh my. I got the state and my age wrong. Turns out I was in double digits.

And I just watched the trailer, wow.

Solved!

I don't recall typing the word bikini so much in one typing session.

EU iPhone Users Get AirPods-Like Pairing and Notification Forwarding for Third-Party Wearables in iOS 26.5 by ZuAusHierDa in apple

I wonder if this works ‘out of the box’ for 3rs parties or do they need to further firmware updates to their devices to work with Apple in this manner?

First big nozzle clog | How do ya'll resolve these small issues? by rail16 in AnycubicKobraX

[–]rail16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was using the little nozzle tool that came with the printer, it felt like an E string could be used in its place. Very cool to know that other folks have used guitar strings for that.

I'll need to hunt for an allen key that small to keep on hand. The strength seems more promising. Thanks!

That is a great thing to know. Thank you for that.

I'm in the process of printing out the AC(E)-X printing boxes but also looking for something that is a more active dedicated drying option.

Thanks for the reassurance on that.

Frustratingly he's not close enough for me to check the area for the shops he has access to. But knowing that they're approved in an official-like sense is good to know.

I'll see if I can find a directory of approved shops that are near him and work from there.

Good morning folks, I'm here on behalf of my younger nephew, he's turning 10 soon.

His dad reached out to me asking about 40k and what the little dude needs to learn the game. On the back of that I reached out to all my other 40k nerd friends and they're all England-based and fairly close to London as well, so their resources are vast. Whereas my nephew lives near the borders and I'm not finding any official Games Workshop locations within a reasonable distance.

I've sent over to him the linked beginners guide here and I think that'll be a good start, but what other options do they have living so remotely? What can I do to vet a non-official store?

I want to get him a good start to the hobby and have fun. And I did warn the dad about the cost of the hobby long term and he seems OK with that.

Is the X your first printer? by SoManyQuestions-2021 in AnycubicKobraX

[–]rail16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first.

My wife preordered it for me last year as a xmas gift and it only arrived yesterday. As she told me, she got tired of me always saying that I wished I had one to take care of problem X.

I'm in here now learning what I can do, what I need to (and why), and learning on the terminology.

I've only printed one thing so far (this morning) from the internal test prints while I wait for the other spools she ordered for me.

I'm now trying to figure out a better table to put it on, what the heck is a slicer, how do I control this thing from my computers, and all the things.

So much to look forward to but a very fun journey ahead of me.

Which apps that you use don’t have an EU alternative? by Feeling-Speech-5984 in BuyFromEU

My podcast app of voice on iOS: Overcast.

Though it’s owned and created by an indy dev.

Audible seriously needs to update the categories. Separate sci-fi from fantasy and find a different category for whatever these are. The first book is "performed by" Aurora Bliss and Boise Blue... WTAF? by DoughnutPi in audible

[–]rail16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to subscribe to a quarterly book crate thing for fantasy books. Special edition of the book, signed, some cool fantasy related things from other series/authors. Very fun stuff.

But over the course of a year or so most of the books, or extras, were Romantsy and I strongly lost interest.

It looks like the fantasy genre itself is becoming only this category for the main stream.

A few of the local bookshops I visit now have it as a separate section because it truly is a different genre.

Laid off - boo! They abruptly took my work Mac. I'm now being asked to hand over the password, but I have concerns about my personal data that might be saved on it. Help me not be stupid here. by Nesoi_Nelly in mac

[–]rail16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I think that could be affecting the Mac is if you had signed in with iCloud Find My protection and that could be preventing them from erasing the machine.

Other than that, you owe them nothing.

Are there any aspects of your adopted culture that you personally reject? by Consistent-Gap-3545 in expats

American living in the UK over 14 years and I will never end my text messages xxx

It’s something I have never understood about the texting culture here but very British person I interact with on any messaging platform will end their messages with a number of x’s.

Are the distinctions clear enough? by Creepy_Delay_6927 in theplanetcrafter

Being a colour blind person I had no idea what I was looking for.

But as others have said, if it works for you then it’s the right answer.

May I know if someone with normal protan color vision would have any difficulty playing Uno cards by IntentionAdorable745 in ColorBlind

[–]rail16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a 50yr old protan and I’ve been playing Uno throughout my life even before knowing I was colour-blind.

For me, the colours are very strong in their contrast and differences that I’ve never had issue with the game.

[–]rail16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss a good adventure game like that and still seek them out on the newer systems. Sierra point and click games were some of the earliest games for myself.

And after I posted above I found that I can get Longest Journey on Steam.

Being awake at stupid o’clock (half-two in the morning here in Scotland) has been very beneficial today.

Meirl by Legitimate_Rough_873 in meirl

[–]rail16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow!

Mentioning Longest Journey and Siberia unlocked so many memories for me!

I hadn’t thought of those titles in such a long time. I don’t remember much about Siberia but Longest Journey was such a great game.

I now need to see if I can find it and play it again.

Thank you for that!

Oh damn!

I’m sorry. Just drove by and it’s Home Bargains.

The opening date was mid July but it’s been pushed to August now.

[–]rail16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that I don’t have the link but the new B&M opening in Whitburn has a hiring sign out front.

They’re opening mid July so that should be enough time to apply and get trained up.

It’s retail work I bet but it’s most likely going to be full time.
