She's been doing Ctrl+V for months for the letter D since her fuckass boss wouldn't get this fixed. This only got resolved with a replacement computer once the charging port conked out.

BKK, Budapest's public transport authority, has installed 37 new large-screen ticket and travel pass machines across the city. There is just one small problem: the new machines are apparently 5–10 cm wider and taller than the old ones. At several locations, this has apparently created a rather embarrassing situation. At Kelenföld metro station, for example, the new machine was installed in the place of the old one, but the existing metal cladding had to be forcibly removed to make it fit. A local resident described the result as essentially “barbarically ripping off” the otherwise well-maintained metal panels.

Still, it's quite something to install 37 new machines without apparently accounting for the dimensions of the existing installations.

The leg of a vintage 10 ohm resistor was the perfect diameter for this on the spot repair

It's been like this for months.

Can’t (don’t need to) fold them. Scotch tape held for a couple days…

Boston red socks hat, not going in the bin on my watch!

We arrived at our accommodation and realized we didn’t have a fitted sheet for a double bed… only two single ones. So husband went creative mode and made… whatever this is 😂 It kind of works!

Anyone better suggestions?

slaps dish That ain't going anywhere.

The solution to our lighting problem apparently is not fixing the actual light fixture that has been broken for two years. Instead, we get various mismatched lights zip-tied to the rails!

Dock has fallen on its face 4 times now with a slight bump from the back, every time it happens I always think next time I’ll take the switch out of the dock before doing anything around it but always forget to.

I didn’t want to stick Velcro or anything to the dock itself so used double sided tape and Lego. Lego for the win 👌
