  • Absolute worst case scenario if you are unable to get a replacement, you can get a pane of glass and either score and cut it yourself (diamond or silicon carbine and a ruler to score, and then either a drop of water on the score lines and snap or put a bit of string soaked in lighter fluid and set it on fire on the score line, once it’s heated dip it in cold water or pour cold water on and it should split along the score).

    Use youtube to actually see how it’s done.

    Or go to a window maker (or if your hardware stores do it) and ask if they can just cut a pane to size for you.



  • The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it’s hard to know what the impact could be.

    I’m curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn’t carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)







  • Not who you responded to, but from the article:

    “Blast furnaces in the UK have been loss-making for the better part of a decade and been economically unviable due to competition from Chinese and Indian blast furnaces, along with rising energy costs in the UK.”

    Which makes me think there isn’t much profit to be had even for business, I imagine China invested with the long term plan of effectively cornering the UK market and eventually shutting the plant down, increasing our reliance on Chinese steel.

    And was the loss of money from the plant British money, or Chinese?

    Either way, I am also in agreement that it should be nationalised.



  • How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.

    This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China

    If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective

    1. Is this a quirk of the fediverse?

    The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy

    2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.

    If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.


  • “Fact” would imply that there’s a level of certainty about it, I would only argue it’s fact if it happens an overwhelming amount of the time, or is party policy, or is done by senior leadership.

    The question is what is meant by “a thought that doesn’t fit the narrative”?

    Please give some examples, because they could be talking about likeing pineapple on pizza, or they could be talking about ‘A womans place is in the home’; the latter would be something I’d expect a Nazi or a misogynist to say and agree with.

    Does purely saying that make you either? Perhaps not, but if someone has a history and pattern of making similar statements that when looked at could paint a picture that certainly looks like a Nazi or misogynist.

    Oh and toxic masculinity harms men, as much if not moreso than it harms women. It’s the part that tells people to man up when they are struggling as opposed to actually helping. It the thing that makes men who have experienced abuse or rape not speak up cause his ‘mates’ will take the piss, it’s a contributing factor in the amount of teenagers and young men who are suffering due to knife crime.

    The point being is it’s been twisted by the rights narative to say it’s attacking men, when in reality it’s a term given for harmful behavior and a harmful ideal to adhere to.

    The one point being when discussing toxic masculinity, it should be paired with discussions of positive masculinity.

    What hasn’t happened is a mens liberation movement where we move passed the whole, men are robots whose feelings extend to happy, horny and angry.



  • I’m gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you’re experiencing something close to a manic episode.

    When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?

    Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?

    How long have you been feeling like this?

    Do you have someone you can communicate the way you’re feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?

    Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you’re probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you’re probably not God.

    Don’t worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it’s likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what’s going on.

    The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I’m feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:

    “This too shall pass”, it’s a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.
