Vampire or not, I'm not inviting strangers into my home. You never know who has a stake in his back pocket and wants to be moderator

Those people obviously haven't moderated before

I received my glasses from zenni last week. In the mean time I've also got another pair from a local store, same optical measurements since I wasn't sure what to expect from zenni.

The glasses were very well packed, and have received without any type of damage. In the package I received a small two-headed screwdriver, and lots of plastic joints from the rimless frame. I guess they expect something to break, which is why they shipped so many spares. The optical side is correct, I did not sense any headaches, or eye soreness of any kind. The frame size is correct; measurements are fine. I'm very happy with the purchase.

That's great! Getting good quality for a low price is rare these days.

A local blogger once bought an iPod from abroad and received a bar of white soap that had been meticulously carved to look like one... glad you didn't encounter similar woes.

Imagine getting glasses carved from a bar of soap

I fear for their structural integrity, but at least they'd automatically wash your face after seeing something sad.

@anon, as promised, here is a picture of my cousins malamute, that we're babysitting for 10 days! She's gorgeous and sooo big. 45 kg


And look at this little dude, a stray, came to our house a couple of days ago, poor thing was starving. Gave him food once, now he keeps coming back. My niece already named him Ginger!

That's not a dog, it's a battleship! I want to reach into my screen, caress that fur, and take a nap together where we use each other as a pillow... it is true.

And what's this, a red kitty showing up out of nowhere? You're a very fortunate person right meow.

[yoco]

You wouldn't believe how huge she is! That face, it's like looking at cuddling a wolf!


The kitty has wound on his leg, I want to take him to vet to check him out, but he's still to scared of us, so I don't wanna cause him more trauma.


PS: why do pictures flip when I post them?

Told you This breed is huge. Fortunately their size is directly proportional to their friendliness.

Fair enough. It's hard for a cat to trust new people in that condition. Give him some space, and if you have a carrier, now's a good time to leave it lying around so that he'll think "oh, this thing, I've seen it before" when you use it.

I would guess the forum software ignores the EXIF orientation tag when resampling images. Fortunately lossless rotation is possible.

I bet that's the sweetest thing you could say I've ever seen. Didn't expect that, anon

I know you don't mean that in a bad way, and yet... I'm puzzled as to why such comments would be unexpected of me.

Anyone knows if it's possible to mark cables like this? Is there any device/machine that does this?

[Master Razor]

Look for a label maker, and choose something to you liking.

[anon]

You know, I have a feeling this has been discussed before... anyway, label maker it is. Or use metallic twist ties to keep things tidy and make it possible to follow cables from point A to B in the first place.
