I can understand hating the people in a park, as they could get in the way of what otherwise is open space for accelerating potatos...

But hating a park? haha


Unless that was what other people thought the reason for blasting holes everywhere was

Ripped another printer to shreds today, took fricken 2 hours... but I got some nice stuff, including more springs (some of which were really nice), 3 more motors (one of which is pretty big), of course plastic and metal bits, and the nice stainless steel rods that are found in all printers. This one was also an HP like the last one I took apart so the rods had the same diameters (5.92mm/2.33" and 7.8mm/.31"), except one of the rods was exactly 3/8" diameter and about 15 inches long, which is a really nice one. It also has pre-drilled holes that I'm sure will come in handy...

The printer also had 2 wall outlet AC transformers, one that goes to 19V and one that goes to 32V.

I think the pilot got a little closer than he wanted too.

How on earth do I embed this? God, I should know thinking about all the time I've wasted online... :roll:

Thank you and feckin feck indeed, a couple metres to the left and she would have been chopped.

Let's build a gun. I'm thinking 22mm bore, copper and 400 psi?

Damn! For some reason I subconsciously and arbitrarily assign ages to the forum members... You were somewhere in the 40-50s :lol:

In the same way, you to me are perenially 9 years old :D

Good luck Mark! Or rather "oorah!" as I believe the locals put it :)

Will somebody think of the kittens?

I don't get it. A guy hoping to hold a position of power states that he would have made the common sense decision of not shutting down a major transport link for the sake of a couple of kittens, and suddenly he's unelectable :?

I'll take that... It's ok because in my mind you're a 50 year old who lives alone in a cave and plays with little metal wheels to console his lonely self :D
