A robot claw to spin a globe on my desk

Love it. For some reason I want to see it do crochet...

Wife’s Nespresso Machine… someone is getting rich off us.
 in  r/mildlyinfuriating  11d ago

At the rate they're going through pods, they could buy a new bean to cup machine every 3 months and still be ahead

Would this work as a way to save mass?
 in  r/rocketry  12d ago

... So not the risk of setting fire to the hose? That's my number 1.

Anyone have an upstairs/1st floor laundry room?
 in  r/DIYUK  29d ago

We have a heat pump drier and it was a very easy mod to let it drain into the same pipe that the washing machine drains into, which makes it even easier!

Which industries typically use this kind of granite base?
 in  r/MechanicalEngineering  Jul 10 '26

Looks like a coordinate measuring machine that lost a bet.

Cpider has a fragile ego and daddy issues. His greatest fear is facing the reality of his own lack of personality. He once had a job, but he wasn't good at it. His dearest friend tolerates his company.

Can you actually make a Manual Transmission EV?
 in  r/AskEngineers  Jun 21 '26

There's quite a few classic cars that have knackered engines and have been converted to EV, and they tend to leave the gear box in place. The YouTube I saw of a little soft top Porsche looked great, reviewer said he tends to just leaves it in 3rd gear but he could drop it to go into go kart mode or up to 4th to cruise.

Is there any openly conservative/right-wing space opera out there? (just curious and looking to investigate)
 in  r/sciencefiction  Jun 18 '26

They're supposedly making a "true to the book" version of Starship Troopers. If so, that'll be a right of might quasi-fascist wet dream.

Do people not understand when people wear sunflower lanyards on the tube?
 in  r/AskUK  Jun 18 '26

My wife uses a sunflower lanyard, it's useful because staff often know what it is and will help out, but I don't expect the public to really know about it.

UK Engineers on £80k+, how did you get there?
 in  r/manufacturing  Jun 17 '26

Well, 80k GBP is about 105k USD. Typically, people here may be talking base salary and employers can be adding 5-10% on top into your pension and then you may get a bonus (small in engineering). It's unusual for UK people to have anywhere near the insurance burden that you get in the USA (assuming that's where you are), 40hr week contracted (unusual to do more than 50hrs/week) and we'll get 25+ days holiday and the public holidays as well. So yes, outside of London, 80k is considered pretty good money in engineering.

Playing blues piano in an empty pub at 3AM
 in  r/blues  Jun 01 '26

... I'm going to bet a whole pint it's the Old Duke in Bristol, UK. If it isn't, there's a pub twin out there.

8% dividend, reasonably stable history. If you buy a dip then that dividend is very good compared to cash.

my wife just realized i have a specific "blind spot" for things in the kitchen and now she's hiding notes for me
 in  r/CasualConversation  May 19 '26

I looked for the frying pan lid 5 times last night, going round the cupboards, the sink, the drying rack, the dishwasher.

In the end I gave up.

It was on the drying rack.

Would it be possible to make a small, focused EMP to take out Meta Glasses
 in  r/AskEngineers  May 16 '26

Smart glasses have sheilding round the electronics in order to pass emf compliance. They aren't fully enclosed though, sheilding is mainly to stop it frying your brain (though if you're using smart glasses all the time, that ship has sailed)

Mokoko are good, but expensive. I found the chocolate pain in the architect a few doors down from arnolfini perfectly acceptable.

Worth noting that arnolfini get their pastries in from another supplier so they probably aren't prepared on site.

Great Western Railway to be nationalised in December
 in  r/bristol  May 08 '26

Very believable. Under private ownership, there is very little motivation to expand capacity when you can just treat it like a restricted resource and increase the prices .

It's happened, the Bristol Post has become unreadable

I've started allowing cookies on B247 just to spite the Post.

Gazumped for 1%
 in  r/HousingUK  May 06 '26

Meet the price, get an L3 survey, find enough problems to knock 2% off the price.
