Interesting translation fail

I really can't decide if this bit of Engrish detracts from, or enhances the ad.

New and exciting ways to screw up

I have invented a new and exciting way to screw up and piss the handbrake off simultaneously.

Made her a nice breakfast with a latte and some warm croissants.  She requests some jam.

I should at this point mention that we're fans of the Beerenberg range of jams.  These have labels that are quite similar, with sometimes only minor differences in colour.

So I reached for this one:

And scored this one by mistake:

My minor error was only discovered after deployment in production.

Oops.

Permanent power to the bench

Finally got around to putting some permanent power up to my side workbench today.  I've had a powerboard with an extension lead there for a while now, but I deemed this inelegant and it was time to do something a little more integrated.

Mess?  Who, me?  (You can see the powerboard solution above the bench just below the top crap shelf essential photography props repository).  Mmm, blur.

Ah, that's better,  All done in 25mm conduit with a couple of inspection ports to make life easier hauling the cable through.  Power can still be completely isolate to the bench from the master switch point behind the tool cabinet.

Sometimes I think I'm over computer games. Then I see this.

Reddit block user script

Use Reddit and want to block morons who have replied to you, not just sent you a message?

In Chrome, F12 open the consle and paste this in at the bottom and enter.

for(buttonLists=$(".flat-list.buttons"),i=0;i<buttonLists.length;i++)blockButton=document.createElement("LI"),blockButton.innerHTML='<form class="toggle block-button " action="#" method="get"><input name="executed" type="hidden" value="blocked"><span class="option main active"><a class="togglebutton" onclick="return toggle(this)" href="#">block author (hide post)</a></span><span class="option error">are you sure?  <a class="yes" onclick=\'change_state(this, "block", hide_thing, undefined, null)\' href="javascript:void(0)">yes</a> / <a class="no" onclick="return toggle(this)" href="javascript:void(0)">no</a></span></form>',buttonLists[i].appendChild(blockButton);

You'll now see a "block user" link under their stupid comment, and the signal to noise ratio improves significantly.

High point of the year so far

I thought that watching loony lefties have mental meltdowns live as the American presidential elections came in was going to be the high point of the year.

Nah.  It just keeps getting better.

Just incredible

I grew up watching Steve Davis, Eddie Charlton, and Denis Taylor.  (Note poncy original spelling and Oxford comma too eh mate.)

This bloke is better.
