It eventually got back to the supplier and they vowed never to send anything to Australia again.

Write a children's story about the voyage of Springy, lost at sea in the Bermuda Triangle. Use Craiyon for the illustrations.

The right bird sound and I'm reliving the Lime Parakeet intro. Good times in the 90s, glad I got that game as a gift. Still got the Timothy Seals covers bookmarked on youtube.

e: Still got a soft spot for the Crescent Hawk games as well, but it's been awhile since I've revisited them.

I bought house cleaning services. $175 to deep clean my bathroom, fridge, oven, and mop. $100 maintenance a month after that.

Is that good? I expected it to cost more.

This is a pretty googlable answer, but seems lower middle of the pack in terms of cost. Consider labor, travel, and supplies. Maybe $80-$100 per person per hour and maybe some hazmat for a particularly nasty place, lol.

One way to look at is, could someone pay you to personally deep clean a place like yours for $100/mo using your own materials and gas? I'm going to jump the gun and say "no, I didn't think so."

Share some drinks. Fruit punch or sodas or something. That usually gets you on a contractor's good side. Apart from paying your bills on time, that is.

I don't think you need them to clean your mop.

Costs are based on square footage. I paid $300 to deep clean my place when I sold it. ~1300sqft.

How often do they come per month for $100?

Once a month.

I bought a Blink indoor camera. I am going to mount it in the hallway entrance. I must protect the big T.V. and Magic Cards.

I bought an exhaust sleeve clamp because my car from 1999 has formed an exhaust leak. Luckily it's right in the middle of the pipe so there's no funny business, I just need to find a way to clamp it. Lets just hope a 2.25" clamp works on a 60mm pipe.

I was looking up homes for sale in Syria and Ukraine. I have enough money to become a home owner.

Well balls, apart from springs its essentially impossible to get anything firearm related shipped out of America as a private person.

Had to make my own frame wrench (S+W frames are quite easy to twist) remove and reseat he barrel to get it aligned, it was steadily unscrewing itself as it hadn't been pinned.
S+W barrel pins are a really obscure size so I had to grind down a drill bit and use that.

There's a special place in hell for companies that employ things like proprietary screws where ordinary heads would have perfectly sufficed.

Sometimes its necessary but quite often its just what happened to be available at the time.

Just what happened to be available at the time, involving having to order a screwdriver from the UK to work on an item manufactured in Japan.

Ha ha, there's all kinds of historical weirdness related to screws and threads.

Did I bore you about pipe sizing already?

HISTORY OF PIPING SIZE TERMS
Pipe sizes can be confusing because the terminology may relate to historical dimensions. For example, a half-inch iron pipe does not have any dimension that is a half inch. Initially, a half inch pipe did have an inner diameter of 0.5 inches (13 mm)—but it also had thick walls. As technology improved, thinner walls became possible, but the outside diameter stayed the same so it could mate with existing older pipe, increasing the inner diameter beyond half an inch.

OUTSIDE DIAMETER
The outside diameters of pipes are described by the “Nominal Pipe Size”, shown in specifications as
NPS and often incorrectly called “inches”. In more recent times with the introduction of the metric
system and with the usage of the same pipes in Europe, a metric version has been developed called
DN, or “Diameter Nominal”, often incorrectly called “millimetres” and also incorrectly referred to as Nominal Bore or NB. The pipe sizing system did originate with an understanding that then standard pipe sizes when used at the then most typical wall thickness gave an internal diameter approximately equal to the nominal size. With the current multiplicity of wall thicknesses available the Nominal bore concept has long since ceased to be relevant, and in fact is now misleading. All pipe is specified by outside diameter, never by inside diameter.

Nominal vs. actual is a conversation starter I've been through many times. "Did you know a 2x4 isn't actually 2x4?" Yes, yes I know that.

I'd say, "please tell me again why the government should be paying for golf courses but not better schools, or even much derided municipal art," but the dimensions of a plank of wood are more enticing.

Nice! I've moved away from the plastic spikes these days, as they tend to ground down way too quickly. This is the latest pair of golf shoes I bought. I like the turf style better:
