Hey @MakitaUK my chop saw has just come apart in my hand 2 weeks after the warranty expired. I'm a hobbyist woodworker and I've treated it well for the 10 or so times I've used it the last year. I'm convinced it's a manufacturing defect. Can you give me some leeway?

This is a plug socket in my house and today is the only day in the year in which that is even remotely topical. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do the other 364.

Rekabi is expected to fly to Tehran on Wednesday, but she (and teammates) have reportedly already left their Seoul hotel and are currently uncontactable, according to BBC Persian. There are also reports of her passport and phone being taken from her. ukclimbing.com/news/2022/10/i…

Given the events of today I've decided to sell my entire collection of Queen Elizabeth II commemorative £1 coins for the low, low price of $2 each. PM me for details.

It is days like today when I am eternally grateful that my boiler has a keyless filling loop. They say rock and roll is dead but I'm back up to 2 bar of pressure without tools. Living fast and dying young.
