135 boosts, and 17 complaints. >:DAlso, I'm told you can take part even if you live outside of the UK, because the BBC provide services to many countries outside of the UK, including the USA! So, it's a lot more broad in audience than I realised. :)

What's the deal with trousers, anyway. Why do they fall down all the time. Why is it that the most common kind of trouser is NOT an elasticated waistband one. Why do people not wear onesies all the time like some alien races in Star Trek. What's with that.#trousers

@irina They do, they can just buy a dress and then wear it.

Why do people deliberately design a clothing item with which you have to buy an ENTIRE ACCESSORY to stop it falling off.#trousers

Welsh people will tell you that the roads say "SLOW ARAF" because "araf" is Welsh for "slow". However, I have lived in Wales for over 15 years, and now I am privy to the truth:There is a secret and elusive animal roaming Wales. "SLOW ARAF" / "ARAF SLOW" just means that there may be slow-moving araf crossing the roads.Behold, the araf.#Wales #Cymru #araf

Someone at our makerspace is struggling with the laser cutter, and it's a problem I've never run into before, I've never seen anything like it - so I thought I'd ask here and check if anyone has any clues.They're trying to make boxes using this box generator: https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de The box shapes export as SVGs.The laser cutter is a HPC LS3060 with 50W CO2 laser, connected to the makerspace laptop with a USB cable.And the laser cutter software is Lightburn on Windows. The files end in ".lbrn2".Basically, everything looks perfect in Lightburn, including in preview. But when they go to cut, even when each individual shape is in a different layer, the laser will put extra cuts in or randomly move off at a strange angle and make cuts that aren't in the Lightburn file. (See photos of errors attached.)Have you ever seen anything like this? If so, did you ever work out the cause?Edit: FIXED! We emailed the people who sold us the laser cutter, and they suggested we check whether our makerspace member was "streaming" the cutting from the laptop with the controls in Lightburn, or if they were sending the file to the laser cutter first and then directly cutting from the laser cutter UI. The member was "streaming" it from the laptop (pressing "start" in Lightburn on the laptop), which apparently can cause these kinds of problems. When they switched to sending the file to the laser cutter and pressing "start" on the laser cutter buttons, it fixed the problem completely and instantly. :)#Lightburn #LaserCutting #LaserCutters #LaserCutter

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sara-archer-1Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.#pride #balchder #Wales #cymru #Powys #Machynlleth #crowdfunding #LGBT #LGBTQ #queer #trans

This annoying pop-up keeps appearing when I check my emails and it's infuriating. Does anyone know how I can turn it off? When I tried searching for the text on the pop-up I got ONE result and it wasn't relevant!If you reply to mostly be smug that you don't use Gmail I will simply block you. Do not bother.Edit: Oh, and I'm using Firefox on a Mac and I've got uBlock Origin, if that's any help?
