Exactly this. Every man made fibre makes me sweat buckets. I don’t sweat at all in merino.

I haven’t looked at a stereogram since the Magic Eye books of the 1990s but it came back pretty easy ! Highly recommend the music video linked in the article and also the horse by 3Dimka is really cool. This is how much this kid-of-the-80s

My dad had an early 1990s Renault Espace that used an IR remote opener with fixed codes. I know this because my best friend had one of those cool Casio programmable IR watches and we cloned the opening code from the Espace key fob, and the

And what’s the coffee machine running too ? wouldn’t be surprised to see armv7 in use there.

Of Course we should set a good example when it comes to working with dangerous things in our youtube videos. We should use PPE at all times and give clear warnings about the risks throughout the video… … But Maybe if you’re too stupid to re

Miele came to my house and replaced my heating element for free on an 8 year old machine ! If it was out of the very generous warranty, I expect it would cost loads.

of course - mine is a Dreamland Intelliheat Heat Pad, about £35. I wear a pair of those thin disposable hotel slippers (did I mention I’m northern) to help diffuse the heat a bit, because on the highest setting it’s just a bit too warm with
