I've learned that in motorcycle riding lessons. You have to constantly defend your safety bubble. If you let drivers see a gap that looks big enough they will try to squeeze through it and will push you off the road.
Yep, it's the same here in the UK. Years ago, when I did my bike test, the examiner would test the gaps I was leaving, so if I indicated to turn right, he would attempt to gently push his way into the gap on my right to make sure that I wasn't leaving room for someone to try to squeeze past.
Obviously he did it in a safe way to make sure that I would be safe on the road on my own :)
Kids don't care about it being super accurate to the source though, they see the Minecraft world with loads of blocks and blocky looking animals, and it's close enough. Then the Minecraft logo appears, and they're sold.
In your example, they would probably just hand wave it away as the mega blocks being different Lego blocks, and possibly get excited that there might be new Lego coming
It's exactly this. I showed my eight year old the trailer earlier, and judging by the excited exclamations, we'll be watching this in the cinema
Riding a futuristic motorbike through the streets of neo Tokyo? Oh, no, my bad, that's TETSUO!!!

Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we 'build' it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.
I've recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can't share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I'd be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.
And then you want the owner to pedal this to an RV dump station? That's simply not happening. Best case, they park it near a rainwater sewer drain and literally dump their shitpile in the road.
Unfortunately, that's going to be the main reason that vehicles like this won't be allowed to catch on. If you'll pardon the pun, there are shitty people on both sides of this - people who don't want to be reminded of 'the poors', and people who will dump literal shit outside other people's homes. Both of those groups help to stop us from having nice things :(
Yeah, it's a bit odd, this image is showing for me, but others that I've tried to embed in the same way haven't shown up in the past.
I'll report it to them 👍
I'm on the same Voyager version, but tapping the picture just gives me the picture with no text.
I took a screenshot, but I can't see a way to embed it - never mind, closing my keyboard gave me the image, attachment, and formatting options back. The screenshot should be here:
Nope. Tapping the picture just opens it with no text here. Voyager on Android.
mb additionally putting it in the post body would be a good idea for future posts?
I've seen that a few times on other posts. If there's text in the body already, the alt text has been separated, but I don't think there's a standard yet
Hi all :)
Apologies, I know this isn't a woodworking question, but I don't know of a better place to ask about restoring a desk like this.
It's an oak desk, but it looks like there used to be a felt inlay, or maybe vinyl. The top of the desk has an inlay of plywood, with a small raised edge to the oak, of maybe 2 - 3mm. Staining or varnishing doesn't seem to be an option, as the style of the plywood doesn't match the rest of the desk, so I'm looking for ideas for the top.
Felt or vinyl would be the obvious options, but I'm hoping to hear some other ideas. It's going to be used as an office desk, with two computer monitors and a keyboard and mouse, but also for writing, mostly notes rather than anything serious.
The underside of the plywood has oak planks running from front to back, so there's the option of removing the plywood and putting in another piece of wood, but I don't want to spend too much if I can help it.
Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback please?
Thanks in advance :)
EDIT: Sorry if I'm a bit slow to reply tonight, I'm having a mad dash to tidy up and make room for the new desk. I've managed to plan everything backwards (again...)
Note for myself - the lip is 1mm and the plywood is 3mm, as best as I can tell without dismantling anything
Ext4 everywhere.
