My husband and I have been mistaken for brothers before so… Yeah

According to the national grid map this is a 275kv line so there you go :)

Oh wow this looks great, thanks

I sometimes use dailymotion for old tv shows that aren’t on the others - the app used to be alright, just another YouTube-esque clone, but now they seem to be trying to turn it into a reels/tiktok/shorts thing and it is Bad

“Behold my post, long sheep”

Yup, and in a very similar situation, Lizzie died basically the day after meeting Liz

This sounds like what you’re after :)

Twice as long - all the structural elements are the same, you just line up more of them

Engineers love these things because they’re real easy to design, and very efficient in usable volume vs materials (which is why they’re used for every warehouse/big store/factory)

Obviously not great for living in or anything but that’s the joke :)

If engineers had our way all buildings would look like this

This is the ideal building. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like 😆

Huge fan of Reynolds here! Been a while since I read the Revenger series but I remember being amazed by the quantum currency thing he does there.

Plus the revelation space series are just an incredible setting, love it

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke - magical fantasy set in England around 1800, absolutely beautiful imo and one of those books you just live inside while you’re reading it

I often get an error when uploading pics I’ve taken on my pixel - figured out it’s something to do with the motion capture thing it does to get the best shot, the way to fix is just crop the photo a little, that forces it to resave as a single image and then it works fine

It’s not really smooth up close haha just standard sorta 0.2mm layer height, sanded down a little, then I spray painted them gold which hid some of the rough spots

And yeah I’m a big believer in repairable tech, 3d printers are huge in terms of being able to replace the kind of custom shaped plastic parts that the manufacturer doesn’t sell spares of and the appliance is completely unusable without (as I’m sure is the intention 🙄 planned obsolescence is truly one of the worst things we’ve ever come up with)

I mostly use mine for functional stuff, odd shaped brackets, pipe adaptors, electronics enclosures, so not very photogenic, but my two favourite things were a replacement door latch for the microwave, saved the cost of buying a new one, and a very nerdy bit of wall art 🖖

Self employed carpenter - depends on how you define “politics” but in general not much effect, people still want nice wooden stuff, but in more economical terms obv the worse the economy does the less spare money they have for them, and the more raw materials cost, and all of that is affected by politics
