They aren’t dumb, peoples’ usage is just poorly informed and incorrect.

Famous/infamous are not synonyms, so you shouldn’t be using them interchangeably. Infamous specifically means “Famous for the wrong [read negative] reasons”. Like a serial killer. Or somebody who is famous for knocking over and breaking a priceless work of art.

If something is flammable, it can be set on fire. Like wood, or paper. If something is inflammable, that’s still true, but it has the additional property of being able to spontaneously combust, without being actively set alight. Like oils, or unstable chemicals, or some explosive material.

These are levels of nuance which are actually really useful, if handled correctly. The fundamental rule appears to be that in an “in…” word, the prefix gives specific detail about how the object holds the properties of the suffix.

Looks excellent and has inspired me to recontemplate getting a table saw, as I had written it off as being too messy for my tiny workshop.

Please could you be specific, so we don’t have to check out Reddit, to find out? Not a dig, I’m just trying really hard to avoid the platform after moving. Cheers.

“I think I said “wunderkind”, but okay.”

But they made a movie episode, in 2019, to try to finally round off the series (all the actors returned). Check it out, if you didn’t catch it. It wasn’t perfect, obviously, but it was an admirable attempt.

The Intouchables (SIC). The original French film with Omar Sy. Not the pointless Hollywood remake. Its my favourite comedy of all time.

Also Firefox.

Thanks for the added context.

That username, though…

It already is, over here in the UK.

I’d do it for them for half that!

Please could you explain a bit more about the process you describe, above? Maybe with some simple examples? I’m woeful at maths but really good with mechanical and physical problems. If there’s a way I can improve upon the former, I’d love to try.

Thanks in advance!

It was never proven that the baby was Greg’s.

Currently putting the finishing touches on a wall-mounted chest of drawers for the workshop, which is holding everything from screws to scrap metal to machinist vices. It’s made of scrap pallet wood and ply and totally hand-tooled (planes/chisels/saws). My workshop is very very small (under 8ft by 9ft) and doubles as my home office, so this baby really frees up major space.

Just the rest of the drawer labels left to do. Not sure if these photos will work, but here goes:

Didn’t Mythbusters debunk this one?

Stop holding your nose and blowing, to clear your ears. You can burst your eardrum this way. I have a perforated eardrum, myself (though not from this), and getting a subsequent inner ear infection in that ear is the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Worse than the burst appendix or broken ribs.

Instead, try holding your nose and closing your mouth and swallowing a few times. With a big gulp of water might help. Should eventually give you enough pressure to clear the blockage, without risking your health.
