Open the loft hatch.
Hot air rises - give it somewhere to go.

Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.

It seemed to be a chronic disease. It was as if even the most intelligent person had this little blank spot in their heads where someone had written: “Kings. What a good idea.” Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees.

Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I’ve hidden it in spoiler tags.

Edit: This one’s been floating around the net for long enough that I’d forgotten what the feathery chap in the back left was up to!

Hidden behind a spoiler for those who don’t want to see an owl swallowing an entire rat(!)

Because the word that the average ‘B’ will choose is ‘normal’.

Don’t forget the eldritch horror.

Any day now, Elon will announce that the real reason they need Greenland Ultima Thule is so he can perform a ritual to awaken Azathoth and end the simulation.

I yt-dlp’d a video off Twitch a couple of days ago with no problem - what am I missing?

D’you think we can get Ricardo Montalban to hypnotise one of the sportsball players?

Little Shop of Horrors and Beetlejuice.

How old were they? Because this (top left) may be the reason…

You can still do this in Waterfox, FYI.

I’ve not used Firefox in years (just various forks), specifically because of Mozilla’s insistence on changing the UI and not allowing you to change it back.

I’m just picturing one of those episodes of M*A*S*H where they leave Frank Burns in charge.

From what I understand, they don’t normally bother producing service manuals for individual models. It’s a case of ‘they all work on the same basic principals, so the repair person should be able to figure it out’.

My guess (based on my repair of a couple of aging treadmills that would suddenly jump to full speed!) is that there’s a sensor on the motor that’s malfunctioning and feeding the controller wrong (or no) information. It sounds like it sends power to the motor, doesn’t receive the expected speed info back, stops and tries again a couple of times, then gives up.

If it is the sensor, they seem to be pretty cheap (assuming compatibility), though I don’t know how easy it is to get the old one off and replace it:

I remember reading an article in the early 90s where they opined that ‘the thing that would really date TNG was the presence of a therapist on the ship’.

Mental health - a total 80s fad, right?

I suspect that they were trying to reference the ‘bright young things’ of the 1920s. I doubt anyone at M&S even considered that:

(a) that reference wouldn’t be obvious to everyone, or

(b) what it may seem like without the context.

Toads are actually a subspecies of frog, so they’re technically correct - even if by accident.
