I imagine it’s not a common occurrence for many people :)

For context, here’s a website logging every time Kier Starmer told us his dad was a toolmaker: mydadwasatoolmaker.uk

You glue it together and keep pens in it!

You glue it together and keep loose change in it!

You glue it together and… wait… why is my desk and windowsill covered in 20 glued together, formerly important mugs?

Even if we consider the lactose intolerant and those who don’t like cheese, that’s a pretty tough ration.

I played hours of the demo for this, and bought it instantly. I think it’s very well done.

There were some slight content limits on the demo, but none that I really noticed after about 10 hours of playing - so I’d definitely say the demo is worth trying if it at all looks interesting to you.

This article is a metaphor for all right-wing “anti-DEI” policies.

No, but you pretty much only had to click “search recursively” and it would find and relink everything in a few seconds. I used to do this fairly often and it really wasn’t much hassle - but obviously not needing to do it at all would be better :)

For Real Americans, the Eiffel Tower is 162 Hulk Hogans high, and weighs approximately 72993 Hulk Hogans.

Oh, I fully support a powered mower, it’s just where I live now has less than 2m² of grass :)

I’d love to have a big enough garden to cut the grass with a cool little lawn-mowing car thingy.

I cut my grass by hand with what basically amounts to “a big pair of scissors” :)

There’s a great Lower Decks episode that mocks/celebrates the Green Orions and the Blue Or-ee-ons and sort of retcons it to make sense - but I don’t think I’ve seen the Blue Or-ee-ons in any other series.

I think I’d prefer him jogging or swimming, or doing one of those other “had a heart attack whilst doing it” sports.

I assume you tried “giving it a good ol’ slap”?

I’m not familiar with the specific model, but most CRT TVs used to have a secret “slap-activated self-repair mechanism”, normally installed in one of the top corners. You just give it a good slap and it magically starts working again.

Ah, bugger. I wish you success with your troubleshooting.

You’ve probably checked everything already, but if not, check if it’s just the power supply that’s gone. I’ve had this happen to a couple of Raspberry Pis - the machine itself turned out to be fine.

I’m not sure if you explain the specifics in the video, but I worry that you’re overcomplicating things?

Unless there’s a reason for doing it like this to learn about something, if it’s actually working like a doorbell, then start by looking at a doorbell.

You need the chimes (bit that makes noise or light when electricity is added), wired through the power source (i.e. batteries) in a continual circuit that plays constantly - then you interrupt that circuit with a leaf switch (a push-button).

When the leaf switch is off, there is no circuit and no noise is made.

When the leaf switch is pressed, there is a circuit and the noise is played.

At the most basic level, a leaf switch is a thin bit of metal hovering a few millimetres above another bit of metal - the wire goes into the top bit of metal, and out of the bottom bit of metal (or reverse). A tiny bit of pressure joins the two bits of metal and completes the circuit, making the electric flow. When released, the two pieces of metal separate and the circuit is broken. You may need springs to move them apart.

From that point, you’re inventing a pressure plate for a cat. Something which will press together with a cat’s weight, then spring back up when the cat is no longer on it.

You then refine or calibrate that mechanism so it always goes off with a cat, but not with a gust of wind or spider etc.

Happy birthday to you, and good luck with your wishlist campaign!

I have previously wishlisted your game, so can’t add any new wishlists for you, sorry.

Not certain of the intention, but if you’re doing a multi-camera edit, and you’ve cut all the crap video footage out and your video track is full of holes, but your audio track continues beneath, then you might want to mark all the gaps for where you need to add cutaways or 2nd camera shots?

I’ve never really seen the advantage over a standard hone.

It possibly depends on hair type - my solution was “don’t use shampoo with Sodium Laureth Sulphate” in it.
