Honestly off the top of my head I wouldn't know that the Niger is Africa's third longest river, so I'm glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.

Besides.. it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what's tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"

It's probably south of something though, unless you're at the north pole

That's a normal housecat. Not sure what people are confused about

Sounds like you dodged a bullet, if that's how the CEO reacts to you declining the offer. Just imagine how they'd react to somone actually making a mistake at work

This is normal for anyone who ever dumpster dived at a bread factory

Now i'm disappointed.. i thought you took a picture with an old digital camera that scanned the picture line-by-line, and the cat somehow managed to jump up midframe, without ending up blurry

It's a conspiracy, orchestrated by Big Adapter

That password is not very secure, you should come up with a longer one

Every frame will also have some handwritten info about the radio it was sent with, and possibly a photocopy of some dog in the corner

Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere online. It doesn't help that there is no brand name on it ;)

EDIT: The product is http://milebv.eu/index.php/products/product/25 (thanks to @[email protected] for finding it!)

I used to buy this at a local vegan store (veganz at Warschauerstr in Berlin), but that store closed a while ago.

It was the most amazing mock duck I've had, but now I can't find it anywhere else. All I have is this picture (I don't even remember why I took it, probably to tell someone how amazing it is).

As far as I recall the product was made in Taiwan, not sure if that helps.

Of course, any other suggestions for tasty mock duck are welcome too, since I just love this stuff 😋

What kind of screw is this? (discuss.tchncs.de)

EDIT: I believe I found the answer, it's something turned by this: https://ctatools.com/products/5065

Found some trash on the street that i'd like to take apart, but this screw is in my way.

It's like a hex bolt, but with 5 sides, and rounded (a bit like flower petals).

Here's another picture from the top:

I tried turning it with various tools (hard to get pliars in unfortunately), no success so far. The material is very soft, which doesn't help..

 

I have a whole bunch of them. They are possibly a bit older (70s, 80s) judging by other contents of the junk box they are from.

There are no labels of any kind, but on the top they have stripes that look hand painted.

For at least some of them the resistance roughly corresponds to the color code.

So, I'm just curious why I can't find anything about these on the internet.
