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

Ditto, I’ve always got one with me anyway, now it’s for fun as well as work

A bunch of senior white house figures, including the defence secretary and the VP, added a journalist to a group message chat about military action in Yemen

One does not simply hike to Mordor 🙄

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

Very specifically, the fresh green you see on a forest hillside from a long way away just as the leaves start appearing in spring

Have a look at VideoSubFinder, it does text recognition on video files and outputs clean images of the text - you can then use an optical character recognition program to convert those into text files

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 🖖

Can’t add anything as it’s already gone to the client but it’s 25cm/10" long

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

The ancient Bajorans would like a word

Can recommend the Air New Zealand sky couch - you book a slightly more expensive economy seat and get a whole row with a special footrest that folds all the way up flat turning it into a bed 👌

What a great and worthwhile use of huge amounts of power and water

Yup, pretty standard thing in the UK
