The link downloaded a file which didn't appear to be anything I could view

Any of the Terry Pratchett audiobooks that were read by Nigel Planer! Most probably know him best as Neil from The Young Ones in the 80s but he's been in a ton of things since then including a few of the live action Discworld tv specials! He really has a great talent for bringing the books to life usind the right amount of humor that series really needs!

Reminds me of that scene from Spinal Tap lol

No. They don't even like themselves. The only thing that the far right is interested in is the acquisition of power. If they suddenly embrace a group they were previously opposed to it is done solely to help achieve that goal of acquisition. If the far right is now "gay friendly" it is only being done in hopes that gay people will shut up and stop opposing them. Once they get what they want they will immediately start ranting about "the gay agenda" again as if nothing had happened

Cool! As long as the button on the side of this one doesn't leak then I think it will still work! I just need to replace the flint and the wick and possibly the little gasket around the bottom screw

From what I could find online the "electric paste" is just a paste made of yellow phosphorous which is apparently excellent for killing things lol it seems to have stopped being sold after an EPA recall in the 80s

Scripto VU lighter (lemmy.world)

This belonged to my grandfather originally. There's not a ton of info about when these were produced that I could find, but what I did find suggested that this is probably from the very early 60s sometime

Found this old newspaper page folded up in a box in the attic at moms house and thought I'd share!

He can do whatever he wants to my texts as long as I don't have to hear about it lol

A few years ago I started getting random texts in the middle of the night from some guy who thought I was a girl he'd met at a bar. I guess the guy was kind of a pest so she gave him a made up number that just happened to be my number. I tried politely explaining that I was:

a. not a girl

b. definitely not anyone he knows

and

c. trying to sleep because it's 2am

He seemed to think this was some sort of courtship game and kept messaging me until I finally just told him to fuck off

This scenario kept repeating itself every few weeks apparently whenever he would get drunk and/or horny in the middle of the night

It kept going until one night I finally told him I would meet him somewhere and just went back to sleep

I never heard from him again after that... Maybe he's still waiting there? 😂

Careful, you may have just started an Entmoot

It's fine I actually like seeing all the posts from Germany and France and the UK, it was just weird to see the same meme show up so many times with no explanation lol

I just opened Lemmy to browse all and half the posts are memes in German about pizza. Wtf Germany?

I'm in the US. On my last trip to the grocery store I saw that the Mt Olive brand is now selling pickle juice as its own separate product. They had little shot sized bottles and big liter jugs of it. Someone had the actual nerve to market this as a "sports drink".

It's literally on the same shelf right next to the pickles, and cost nearly twice as much.

I never knew the 80s new wave version by Soft Cell was a cover lol

I had to frog almost all the progress I made last week and redo it after realizing I'd somehow stitched everything in the new section one row too low... Thankfully I got caught back up and made a little more progress though so I hope this panel will be done by Friday!

Apparently it's a regular occurrence

I'm finally starting the dragon!

Also here is a little tiny Sakura tree I started! I still have to do all the back stitching

There aren't really any other instructions included on the PDF. I think it's supposed to be a half stitch of one color and then a half stitch of the other maybe?

WIP Wednesday!!! (lemmy.world)

Those little flowers took a while to finish but I'm really happy with how they came out! I think by the end of today I'll be able to finally move on to the next section!

WIP Wednesday! (lemmy.world)

This section is taking a while since there's so much confetti stitching between the pink sections! Hopefully by the end of the week this part will look like flowers lol!

Once I finish the first half of No Faces mask and the bottom where Chihiro's shirt is I can finally move on to the side sections!
