@mavica probably the defaults being not great, possibly turn down the contrast on xsane?

@sydneyfalk the first practice run is actually called a "hearsal", so any further practices are "re-hearsals"

(probably not true)

@mavica since a 3d printer is a robot that makes 3d things out of layers if we give you a glue gun and a pattern it could be argued that you're the 3d printer!

in the UK it's illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances

@mavica so would I

I especially want to see the big pie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatala_Pie_Shop

located next to a drive-through pie shop, which is a magnificent idea I can't believe hasn't caught on anywhere else

@mavica touring around australia, seeing all the big things!

@mavica I wanna come too! road trip!

@mavica hi! *waves arms around excitedly*

@mawr ah, perfect!

I just found myself constantly going "well, this stuff is like 50p a meter, better not waste any" and not using any of it

@mawr quick tip, when you come to use it you'll be looking at the hank of cord and think "ah, I don't need to cut up this relatively expensive cordage for this" and decide against using it

pre-cut it into like, 5'-7' lengths and put it in your bag, that way you'll always have a reasonable amount on hand and not think that, if you need longer you can tie the lengths together

also charging points are a little few and far between in the desert

considering it's armour plated I can only assume that they're trying to fill the same niche as the toyota land cruiser but I can't see any convenient place for mounting a heavy machine gun

@mavica I just thought "wait! that's the perfect aspect ratio for an emojo! MUST ADD ANOTHER MAVI EMOJO!"

@mavica yeah, that episode was particularly ridiculous

@mavica personal favourite is the people who go "no, you're racist/bigoted!" any time anyone raises any criticism of the instance or the admin

@sydneyfalk tell 'em there's a bunch of oil there

they love oil

@mavica you're your own mech!
