If you want to message me an email address I’ll send you the files. She may find some of them too basic but there are 18 so hopefully at least one will be useful to her!
I plugged something into a power strip my wife uses, and noticed the plug retention was poor. I said something to her, and she said yeah, I don’t use that outlet. I took it away, and because it is the sort that uses normalish receptacles, opened it up.
The offending receptacle was broken in half.
To my untrained eye, it appears you have a cross-country ski binding inside your outlet.
I see the problem.
The ski is missing.
The boot is not going to grip and glide on the snow the same way you’d expect a ski to.
The UK beat the record where it rained everyday for this year.
We are not beating the allegations here.
Yes I’m getting very tired of walking the dog in the rain!
I bought some roller skates and haven’t been able to try them out in decent conditions! Every day where I’ve been free it’s been ![]()
Send all of your complaints to the jet stream
For those who take an interest, this link to the NOAA gives a view of Atlantic air pressures, updated a few times a day. Latest one as I post:
(Movement arrows are one day long.)
Yeah but thats supposed to just keep us ‘temperate’ not make it piss it down all month! ![]()
I think you’re thinking of the Gulf Stream. The position of the jet stream affects the path of Atlantic low pressure systems. At the moment it’s doing a very consistent job of sending them right to us ![]()
I am indeed - good point
In my part of North America, the jet stream is a big part of our weather. It tends to make a southern swoop, and depending on where that swoop goes determines if we get arctic air or not. We just had a 20 day stretch of below freezing high temperatures, which is the longest in 20 years.
Netflix wants to make Ticket to Ride into… something? Wut?
It’s the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles but just Trains.
Don’t miss the thrilling “who shuffled these?” scene.
I made a big list of games I have played so far this year on BGG. The first 50 entries are in there including mini reviews (most of which I have already posted here) and some other impressions for each game. I plan to add more games as I play them for the first time this year to my game diary.
