This is the real reason why 4chan users are not seen in public

I’m Welsh, and my wife is a Welsh speaker, and we both missed that one 🙈🤣

I commented on the last post about this, the three stars are difficult to make out on a small screen, they look like a blurry capital A. On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

The whole point of this campaign appears to be to replace a unique symbol with one that’s already in use and is hard to read at small sizes 🤷🏻‍♂️

We might have actually found a use for Tommy Robinson and the gammon army

Not Toad of Toad Hall?

Oh, no, one of the guys took great pleasure in taking the disc out and handing it to the customer in front of everyone :D

I witnessed something like this once. I worked for a pawn shop, wiping and reinstalling Windows on computers they were selling, but occasionally working on one of the counters if they were short staffed.

One day a regular customer brought his PS2 in to trade, so it had to be tested first. The manager took it as a training moment for me and and a few others, and connected it to the main TVs around the store so that we could all see how he checked the system.

The customer had left a rather hardcore DVD in the drive and completely forgotten about it, until it started playing on the big screen, and everyone in the store learned about his preferences.

Playing with some friends on our bikes and we started doing stoppies - riding along then hitting the front brake, bringing the back wheel off the floor. We were trying to see who could get the wheel the highest.

I hit the brakes and my feet came off the pedals and landed next to the front wheel. The bike came up, and the seat hit me in the back of the head, knocking me forwards onto my face

i want to see new characters do new things

Exactly this.

As an example, watching Strange New Worlds is great, but they can’t put certain characters in life threatening situations, because we know that they’ll survive. They’re not going to kill off Kirk before he takes command.

It limits the story in some ways. Give us something new where anything can happen.

Hobbies for beginners, if you want to take up knitting then start with a cheap kit and upgrade as you get more serious.

This is the big one. If you’re starting a new hobby, it’s easy to fall into the trap of buying loads of expensive kit because it’s shiny and new. Buy the cheaper versions first and learn what you actually need. If you need to upgrade then, at least you know what to buy.

Obviously this doesn’t apply to safety kit 👍

I used Health Sync to pull some of my fitness data from Google Fit to Fitbit and got it to display on my MagicMirror. I then forked the relevant module so that I can try to edit it myself and show more data from a spreadsheet.

The idea is to have a display that shows me my calorie goals, how many calories and water I’ve taken in, my steps, and my blood sugars among others.

I’m hoping that it will help me to stay on track with keeping my fitness and diabetes in control, and help me to learn JavaScript and Python while I’m doing it :)

It also stops pupils from being singled out for not being able to afford expensive clothing, apparently.

Hey! This is no time for jokes.

OP has many cherished memories of the time they spent cleaning and then playing with a stranger’s Wang. I can just picture the look of joy on OP’s face when they found the unloved Wang just out there on the street, ignored by everyone else.

I bet OP will never forget the joy that a stranger’s Wang brought them 😊

Yes, that’s why I said it’s the opposite ;)

I don’t know what it’s called, but I know that I really struggle with doing things that I don’t want to do.

That’s a good point. I’m lucky enough to have received my kidney from a live donor, and the story is about how they saved the day, and because of that I was able to have a family with my wife, so it could go down quite well. I’d have to remove the personalised information, but that shouldn’t be too hard :)

For now I just want to publish it for the family, so vanity publishing. Some of the family have suggested selling it though, so while I don’t personally think it would sell, I want to make sure that I’m doing everything properly.

That’s a lovely idea. I’ll have to see if any of them can draw at all :D

For me it’s the opposite - I want to learn the minimum needed to accomplish something, and being forced to study is very difficult. At least, that’s how my brain sees it.

I want to learn, and would be happy to focus on a drawing class, but the neurodivergent part of my brain sees that as torturous. Being forced to do something that I don’t want to do, even if it leads to me doing something that I do want to do, is like nails down a blackboard.

Very true. I need to get my ideas across, and that’s probably the best way :)

That’s a very good point. I’m hopeless at practicing. I’ve got ADHD, so find it hard to do something that I don’t want to do at the moment, and when I was younger I could pick up new skills fairly easily, so never bothered learning properly. I would do as much as it took to be ok at something, then usually stop there.
