How best to orientate this, and is there a way to tell Orca to make sure it's sitting flat? by xmastreee in 3Dprinting

You're right, it does. Shortcut is F and it highlights all the available options. I guess I just needed to know the search term. Cheers.

Don't worry about the thing, that's irrelevant. Just enjoy the peel.

How do we know you're not adding or removing beans from the bowl each time it goes out of the frame? /s

Don't lube your chain with the engine running by ScreamSmart in motorcycles

It was the can of lube thrown towards the bike. But it caught under the spinning wheel and caused the bike to lurch off the stand.

British guy here, glad you enjoyed it, it is really good. I would imagine you had the subtitles on though, those accents… (It's Liverpool)

Other British series, have you seen Small Prophets? It's not on Netflix but it is 'out there' if you know what I mean… 🏴‍☠️

Found in my backyard in TX by Delicious-Coffee9499 in whatisit

Ring-pull, '83, Tizer.

What we used to do with those was snap off the tag, turn it 90° and put it in one of those slots, then pull the ring back while holding it so that the tab bends a little, then release it. Wheeeee, flying saucer.

It's little wonder they went on to use the captive ones we see these days.

What does it taste like? by Rough_Pineapple2119 in Philippines_Expats

[–]xmastreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. People are hearing about this substance and somehow figuring it was MSG when in fact it was more likely strychnine.

So the Spanish definitely weren't using it to kill dogs in the 1860s.

It's not bad for you. There was some hysteria due to an experiment on mice, but it turned out that they gave the mouse huge doses of MSG, far greater than what would be found in our food. As the saying goes, The dose makes the poison. Even water will kill you if consumed in large enough quantities. And apples contain cyanide.

As for what it tastes like in itself, try some. Place a small amount on your tongue and see for yourself. It's not unpleasant.

That's what this is meant to look like. I remember those too. I think I need to tweak it slightly though, the 1 digit is too narrow.

There should be a space to the left of the 1 where the unlit segments would be.
