Re: Knockers
There are videos of how to make castings of 3D printed models. The files can be found at Thingiverse and Cults3D, among others. The foundry people are likely to already know all about it and have a printer at hand.

Re: Misread, misheard, misunderstood
For some time the radio kept playing a song where I could swear the refrain is "fcukin' @sshole". Turned out to be Funky Nassau.

Re: The seven seas
Many of the passengers were well aware that something was totally wrong when this flight, Varig 254, went off in the wrong direction, but didn't say a word to the cabin or flight crew.... Actually at least one passenger tried to alert the cabin crew but was brushed off with a "they know what they'r...

ExA:
Check the battery. They usually do that when it goes low.Multi meter seem to be broken and we use it for hooch making temperatures. It has suddenly started to give ridiculous readings. May have got water into it.

Works fine here. Clicking on a thumbnail at first it displays a login "for comments", and in a second or so loads the image without further hassle. Ad-blocker says 9 blocked ads, which is reasonable.

Ex-A: re power problems.
If possible, use the generator exclusively for the power tools in a dedicated circuit. The. heavy loads affect its frequency and voltage, and the inverter can't cope with that.

Can't see any 'No' button on mine."Can't find 'n' on the calculator."
On mine it is above a button, along with the letter 'O'.

Re: Latest Windows 10
How to get out? Upgrade to Linux. I've used Mint these last couple of years, with no trouble at all. I did have a headscratcher setting up the display but after that it was smooth sailing.

Re: SCAMMERS !
A rather non-intuitive action. The down arrow could very well be visible at all times. Not many are likely to run the cursor all over the page just to see what happens.

Re: Was Betelgeuse dimming and did it go Supernova
I was about to message my sis about a tomography, and the damned phone changed it to pornography. Luckily I always double-check before hitting send, and caught it in time.

Re: Amazon 'deliveries' - a caution
A few years back I unexpectedly received a Harry Potter book in Portuguese from Amazon. I live in Brazil. I emailed them, essentially asking WTF? They mailed back that a mistake had been made and they'd send me a postage paid label for me to send it back. A few hours later they mailed again, that se...
