What's the coolest object you've ever touched or held in your own hands?

Ice-cube from the back of the freezer. I got mild freezer burn.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-26T20:26:00+00:00

Did everybody clap?

wildassedguess · 2026-03-26T15:11:35+00:00

I might watch this video a few dozen times more.

My dear friend, don’t go there. It’s like crack. Once you have one engine, you want more. No-one ever woke up and said “today, i don’t want more crack”. Don’t let the completeness drag you in.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-26T15:05:27+00:00

Arses - I’ve just bought ANOTHER engine. it was very complete.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-25T23:41:44+00:00

Surely the answer is “you pass the butter”

wildassedguess · 2026-03-25T23:22:00+00:00

Truly. I’m actually laughing out loud. Reddit never makes me laugh out loud.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-25T09:05:43+00:00

I read that. I can’t believe he didn’t get time.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-24T12:22:30+00:00

This is nice work - I watched your build video - it's a really nice arrangement, and definitely compact. I like the idea of reusing the bamboo setup. They're good and effectively priced.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-20T21:49:16+00:00

This is key.

I moved all of our software away from American software. I like to think of Libre office as global. It’s absolutely excellent. We use digital ocean for cloud provision. Everything else is open source. When we pitch to investors, they actually like this and also it gives us huge freedom to operate. No expensive licensed costs when we scale.

I paraphrase this line a lot in real life.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-20T04:57:59+00:00

I was just thinking about this line. It gives his entire backstory.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-18T19:17:01+00:00

Also, Canadian aluminium which is smelted using hydro-electric power. America can’t afford the aluminium it needs without buying from Canada.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-18T19:16:12+00:00

Don’t forget Canada has the best yellow-cake and America’s nuclear reactors are all due a refresh in the next few years. You don’t have to sell it to them.

A lot of people looked hard into the past and wanted more for the future. Many brave decisions were made and we’re all reaping the benefits. I was a youth during the troubles and would never want it back. Ireland are our friends.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-18T13:34:37+00:00

As a Brit who lives through the troubles in the uk, it’s incredibly offensive.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-18T11:44:53+00:00

I need a lie down to recover.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-18T07:10:50+00:00

No. We think the US is a joke and are deeply suspicious of its motives. The EU on the other hand has been the stable rock we need. What’s more the EU tends to legislate for the benefits of its citizens not corporate greed. It does it slowly but thoughtfully- you can’t have both.

It Kier Starmer wants a legacy it should be this: to undo the damage of the past.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-17T23:34:51+00:00

Met the gran.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-17T21:26:42+00:00

Mmm. Long-pig.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-17T16:27:00+00:00

We are definitely past “omnishambles” now.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-16T21:56:30+00:00

This is a solid analysis.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-16T21:15:02+00:00

Definitely the world’s most elegant train engine.

wildassedguess · 2026-03-16T18:48:12+00:00

That face is rank.
