I regularly have to ask/remind her to put them in with the handles pointing up. Today was another of those days.

Impressed your marriage has lasted. I just re-stack the dishwasher in a more logical configuration most nights before turning it on.

Well, after 48 years, I have very little to complain about.

Well done. My parents hadn't even met 48 years ago.

Why do car manufactures use the term "Limited" to descibe their top spec models? If they use the full expression of Limited Edition it might make more sense but on its own Limited to me descibes the opposite of top spec.

You were too tight to pay for our best model therefore the car you bought is limited.

Is Dame Lisa Carrington the coolest person in the world?

Thanks for explaining "plethora".

It means a lot.

Ruby Tui and some of the other 7's women are pretty cool.

This is a small question, but I'm worried that it might have a big answer.

Does anyone have any recommendations for (preferably free) articles/videos around learning 3D modelling? To be clear, I'm not asking "how do you use TinkerCAD?" but rather "if I want to model a car, how do I go about learning to break that into cubes, cylinders, etc?" Most of the tutorials I've found are all about using the software, rather than learning the techniques.

Sometimes a textbook like this (I know some people do not like Packt books but YMMV) have more rounded information that just a "how do you use..."

At a lowish cost (wait till USA $9.90 specials) some UDEMY courses are good. Assuming you want to do parametric modeling one course I have bought -only when on special- is this one for Onshape which fully covers how to model a car engine. Generally I think it is better to use a parametric (2D sketch elements extruder into 3D model) approach- and Onshape is free for public models.

Hope that helps

Hi, how do I get HDR working when playing 4k movies on my set up?

PS5 / Onkyo TX-NR696 / Panasonic JZ1000

I recently purchased some 4k movies. When playing the movie on the PS5 the TV is showing 3840x2160/24Hz which looks correct to me.

When looking in PS5 settings under HDR it says "Connected HDMI Device doesn't support 2160p/HDR" so that could be the receiver as that is where HDMI is connected to. I looked in the receiver settings and HDMI is version 2.3 but could not find any mention of HDR.

Any thoughts?

Also in receiver manual it says:

Supported
Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, Audio Return Channel, 3D, 4K 60 Hz,
CEC, Extended Colorimetry (sYCC601, Adobe RGB, Adobe YCC601),
Content Type, HDR (HDR10, BT.2020, HLG), Dolby Vision

Thanks! Now that this is starting to bed in, I think I'm getting a bit better :)

Who does one call when the extractor fan in the rangehood stops working? Lights still turn on etc. but the fan doesn't go.

Appliance repair. I'd start with the manufacturer. They will tell you who services their equipment in your location.

Depends on how old it is. If it's six months old, there's a course of action. If it's eight years old, there's a different course.

Have found Bevan at Axial Appliances very good. He’s practically famous in central Auckland.
