My son was explaining that to me the other day- they use it as a case study in their design class.

I see that rewiring plugs in the UK is a generational thing. And that younger generations are apparently oblivious to this ancient tradition. :hmm:

On Christmas mornings we would cannibalise uncool old gadgets for their plugs in order to get our cool new gadgets up and running  :bowler:

I can rewire plugs. Have changed many between UK and Swiss plugs.
Though I can see how someone could get away with never having to do this quite easily.

Man, I need to get new cat.  I keep thinking I see my old cats our of the corner of my eye.

Unrelated, I think I might make a Languish AAR for Rimworld.




I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ad for a festival dedicated to Andreas Gabalier, Austrian schlager-rocker who has, uhm, very conservative views and is occasionally sometimes regularly accused of being on the extreme right.

Why does he have deer onstage with him?

He doesn't really. It's more about Austrian kitsch.

This is what he looks like on stage:



His fandom and FPÖ voters have a major overlap.

Yeah with deer and flowers he kinda looks less like a Nazi wannabe and more like a very tall dwarf from Snow White or something.  :lol:

Though the art style is very 'Nazi Realist'.   :hmm: You kinda expect him to be swinging a pickaxe to build the Fatherland (or into the skull of an  untermensch).

I can hear him now:

"Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)"

QuoteThe French family name Gabalier comes from a soldier who came to Austria in 1796 in the course of the Italian campaign by Napoleon Bonaparte and remained there.

An inmigrant, I see...  :shifty:
