I may have found something to post on the Physics.SE chat board to annoy everyone in there.

presenting the Stainless Metal Educational Physics Pendulum Ball Permanent Engine Toy

those are cool

(there's a battery inside and a magnetty thing)

@JourneymanGeek there is no battery.

only.... "The Force"

I still want one of those, a newton's cradle, and one of these.

@SPArcheon I don't know why, but I keep associating it with taboo stuff.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact too much time spent with @ShadowWizard, that's why.

@Tinkeringbell If you want to feel pain building that stuff...

give me a sec...

here, go Piececool.

piececool.world/uk/shop-2

@Tinkeringbell these don't move, but they are made out of metal, so they are much more annoying to build

Oh, I did a small R2D2 metal kit once. Yeah, metal kits are annoying, especially the small bits that I could never get to 'fold' or 'twist' properly so everything would look as neat as the example.

But that parrot (which they're apparently not selling?) looks cool :D

@Tinkeringbell Out of stock - see piececool.world/uk/product/scarlet-macaw

@Tinkeringbell Also, it you really want to suffer (I don't have that patience) - it seems to be available on the global Europe site

only 26,99 € too.

... some are crazy good looking.

... I would go crazy before I finish half of this.

Yeah but that one's ugly so there's no inherent motivation to start it, let alone finish it :P

@SPArcheon No, I didn’t consider it taboo before it got me burnt in here. I don’t know why this place is so scared of fun stuff.

@SPArcheon Oh nice! That makes it fall into a 'birthday wishlist' price range :D

@Tinkeringbell I did this, does it count?

LEGO always counts :D

@Tinkeringbell I prefer those Hanayama metal puzzle.

I like this one particularly because it is so devious yet so simple...

you can take the two parts apart without people even notice, show them the two pieces, put them back together and then watch their futile attempts for hours as your grin becomes more and more like the grinch...

Oh, yeah I like that kind of metal toy puzzles as well :)

@SPArcheon go?

@JourneymanGeek fly

So much spam.

and not enough flags

Neh

Put a skull flag on the spam; maybe some pirates will turn up and snatch it.

The posts by VmapU are probably spam seeds.

or an attempt to post gpt answers, get rep and use that presumably to avoid kaboom as quickly

or edit in spam later

@JourneymanGeek Spam text (no link) in the profile description, I’m assuming blacklisted for previously posting spam. I didn’t check MS.

mhm, sushi buffet before the plane leaves? Good idea.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact This sounds like a guaranteed way to get sick XD

@Tinkeringbell Why, the cost will make me throw up? You’re right, I’ll get something from the grocery store instead. The sushi buffet costs 229 NOK. Still the cheapest of all the diners here.

More like, the combination of fish-food and airplane seems like one that would make me nauseous... I'd probably eat something like a sandwich and call it a day XD

But I've been prone to movement sickness in the past.

(And I still don't do well on rollercoasters)

Fish is delicious. It doesn’t make me sick.

The biggest problem with airplanes is the air quality, and all those coffee drinkers trying to knock me out with the stench of caffeine.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact something something anisakis

@SPArcheon Delicious!

@SPArcheon Is that the 'fermented' (rotten) shark ? :P

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact I wouldn't know, I've never really consciously been on an airplane (not counting the one or two times I went where I was still way too young to remember now). It just sounds like something that'd make me sick though XD

But if it's the cheapest option, something you like, and you're sure you won't get sick, enjoy your meal!

@Tinkeringbell It is a worm parasite that can migrate to humans if you eat infected raw fish. One of the reasons sushi is a silly idea.

Humanity started to cook food for many reasons, and killing parasites is one of them.

Time-killer: The 'shorts to the office' discussions/articles have started on several news sites here. On one of those, there's quite a few passionate reactions about flip-flops or sandals, and about how "absolutely gross" feet are. Does anyone in here really notice what kind of footwear people are wearing all the time, that warrants such passionate repulsion against sandals or flipflops?

I picked the sushi. On second thought, maybe @SPA is right. I’ve been here before. It was… cleaner then… even with lots more customers. It’s a national chain, though, and they’re usually very good quality elsewhere.

@Tinkeringbell my old boss didn't like that I wore running shoes to work. I was doing it and walked a lot

Also sandals are more hygienic. 😁

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact spammed on my site 😁

@JourneymanGeek Yeah but like, if someone walks by in an office environment, do you really notice their footwear?! (I don't XD. Someone really has to point my attention to their 'new shoes' or something for me to even take a look). But apparently, nude feet are so gross they immediately draw attentions like a big bright yellow arrow is following them around?

@Tinkeringbell I'll reply with another question. Do you think someone could wear in public any of those barely there transparent "evening dress" so common in fashion walks and NOT get arrested for public indecency? .... yeah, that is why I don't really trust those fashion freaks words....

Maybe these people are all bosses and managers trying to micro-manage dress-codes, of course these would be focused on feet too then.

@Tinkeringbell mumble... maybe you have some hobbits in your office?

and the guy is some elf snob?

@SPArcheon They have warm food, too.

More realistic answer: too much time, too little to do.

@SPArcheon I wouldn't know, I don't watch feet XD :P

Yeah, their food today is bad…

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Aww :(

@SPArcheon I think there's a bit of a difference between something that shows genitals (I don't exactly know what you're talking about, but this seems to be what you're describing?) and 'feet'.

@Tinkeringbell Yes.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact How? Why? (Serious questions...)

@Tinkeringbell true, but considering that their are claiming that one should walk around the city in public wearing THOSE I don't trust their brain to be working and would also disregard any comment about shoes.

@Tinkeringbell My eyes sweep the area.

And if they have disgusting shoes/feet, that leaves an imprint in my brain.

also, it was meant to point out how apparently they are fine showing far more private parts but for some reason sandals are a scandal.

Wait, is it fine if we show private parts? Can I go shopping naked? It’ll ease clothes testing.

You should try it

Great. I’ll bring you to shopping next time I’m in Singapore.

@Tinkeringbell I think its a mix of public interest, and well the whole "people should be professional" even if it makes no sense in some contexts

Practically its a means of control for small minded individuals

@JourneymanGeek The argument isn't really 'it's not professional' though, but that it's 'disgusting' to wear sandals and show feet.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact you can either not watch the "nude" feet in the sandal....or smell the aroma of the dressed feet in a tennis sneaker all day long. What do you prefer? If those are the options, I would choose the coworker wearing sandals....

@Tinkeringbell but they can't say that

@JourneymanGeek They are saying it's disgusting. That's the whole comment section XD

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact So, are all feet in sandals disgusting?

See, that's big shoe

I know a guy who wears sandals every damn day, for every occassion. Even on the national day, when the rest of us were in suits, he was wearing khaki shorts and sandals. It leaves me constantly staring at his feet. Stuff you hate attracts your look. Gotta keep it at a distance.

@Tinkeringbell Mostly. Some are worse than others.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact This is usually me

@JourneymanGeek >:

in my 'defence' I have big feet for someone here, and sandals are consistantly comfy

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Hmmm. I still don't get it, but I don't really have to, but why of all bodyparts do feet get this hate?

foot fetishes and self loathing :D

It keeps baffling me.

@Tinkeringbell I find fingers repulsive, too.

so basically you like slugs?

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Oh, in that case, the feet suddenly make sense /s XD Now you've just raised more questions. I don't think I will get any more work done today XD

@JourneymanGeek Not when they dry out. They stink.

I’m just a bit picky.

This one contained a lot of wasabi.

Your dehydrated slugs contained a lot of wasabi?

It’s a spicy relationship.

@JourneymanGeek so @AndreasmovedtoCodidact is actually a melusine?

that explain the fondness for seafood

@SPArcheon Yes, I’m melon cuisine.

Why would a Power Automate activity called "Write CSV file" write the values of a list of strings as COLUMNS instead of ROWS....

Microsoft being Microsoft...

@SPArcheon Columns Strings Values

do they have one that converts columns to rows?

That’s RSV

power automate can do many unspeakable things. It might help :D

@ElementsInSpace Rover Search Vehicle?

@JourneymanGeek I may go for the "trash in, trash out" approach and switch the row and column separators in the action configuration....

i.sstatic.net/XI8ekjqc.png < Take a guess, where is this :P

The netherlands? :D

WRONG!! :P

We invaded Germany :P

ah, REVENGE! Quick, steal the silverware

(euro?)

@SPArcheon cislunar satellite vehicle?

@JourneymanGeek We're just getting our bikes back :P

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, soccer :)

@Tinkeringbell Earth.

@SPArcheon There’s a comma missing in the 3rd one. >:(

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact that was clearly made on purpose to annoy you.

@SPArcheon Oooh, cute, Batman flashing his cape and headlights.

Bruce resting his head in his hands.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Headlights... how lame.

At least say something about the Brain Condor....

@SPArcheon That’s the head.

Me, lame? How could you possibly expect otherwise?

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact the Condor is not the head

@SPArcheon And then the arms on the sides.
