There is no general answer to that. Some people can’t focus on a job from 12 to midday, others can stay hyperfocused in the zone until they drop or someone gets them out of it. As a student, I did a highly concentrated programming job from Thursday to Saturday in one go with only short breaks for food and bathroom, and three hours of sleep in total.

That’s not the issue. It looks like there is a problem with the hinges. And no, oiling didn’t help.

Smart idea. I know, because I tried it already. Didn’t really work (a slight inclination didn’t work, and I didn’t want to tile it more).

The fridge. If you close it too hard or too soft, it ends up not closed, but a fingers’ width open.

To get spoilers, watch Downfall.

Have you ever seen how long it takes for a tree to grow?

The project addresses this. First, I don’t need LEGO level precision, as the connectors are built-in in a way that they are not visible. They are surrounded by real LEGO parts that keep them sufficiently in place so they meet the opposite connector, and that is OK.

Second, the guy who prints those connector housings for me is already a specialist in printing LEGO-fitting 3D prints.

The one I had designed for integrating 12V power connections in my LEGO builds. I designed two 2x2 bricks with openings to receive a male and female connector on one side and two holes for the wires on the other. I integrate them into my models to have a 12V power grid across all my modules.

Peppermint (mentha piperita): hold my tea!

As long as you hold the passwords…

That’s what router settings do. Sorry, X is not reachable from here.

Inkscape for 2D, as it is vector based and therefore mostly resolution-independent. I can blow up a design to banner size (as in several meters) without it looking horrible in print.

Some backward guys can’t cope with women thinking for themselves, and long for the “good old times” when a wife 100% depended on her husband.

Any idiot promising to bring those “good old times” back will find interested listeners among this crowd.

If I were female, I would run for the hill if I noticed someone with interest in Tate’s fairy tales.

You probably meant the third season of casa del papel. The first heist, which was good, was two seasons. The second heist in seasons three to five was crap.

Does it really? You would think that in the times of social media and omnipresent cameras, aliens and UFOs should be omnipresent, if they existed.

And please put warnings before YT links.

Lets put it this way: in the 60s, a photo was not a simple or common thing. Only a few people had a camera at hand, and films could only take 20 to 30 pictures, so they were used sparingly. Still, many UFO pictures date from back then.

Nowadays, everyone has a camera on person, and you can do thousands of pictures in a row. There are millions of recording video surveillance cameras everywhere. So if UFOs exist, there should be myriads of pictures and recordings, many of which in top notch quality, where you could read the labels on the little green mens console buttons.

So far, they remain to be seen.

As a student, I heard scratching noises behind the drywall over my bed. Assuming it were mice, I got some mouse traps and set them up in the attic. No success, although the bait did vanish.

So I took a better light with me and found a wasps nest between the roof tiles and the plasterboard.

Borrowed a large bottle of pressurized CO2 and froze those suckers to death.

Works fine in the DVD player, and allows me to use a number of languages, comments, and extras.

Have you ever thought of just buying and therefore owning DVDs or BDs?

And MAGAs would grind it, bake it, and eat it. Just to own the libs.
