daftykinsi was gifted some super cheap flat-pack nested tables from amazon recently, saw the reviews were all moaning about incorrectly drilled holes and so on, all assembled fine for me though :D19:45
daftykinsgot to wonder about the validity to most amazon reviews19:45
zmoylan-pimaybe they assembled the parts incorrectly :-)21:04
zmoylan-pii can just imagine the lobsided frankentables as parts from different sizes are mixed and matched... :-)21:14
daftykins:>21:15
daftykinsi'm getting a bit tired of homes - http://i.imgur.com/fRipCEJ.jpg21:16
zmoylan-piget a prefab made of a shipping container... then all you need is a decent welding class for home repairs :-)21:17
daftykins\o/21:19
diddledanI'm not sure most electronics resemble bombs as much, though: https://twitter.com/RasPiTV/status/88597223529458483321:21
diddledanwe'll start getting bombs made into injection-moulded cases soon so they look like ordinary electronics and they then only let us on board with hacked-together rubbish21:22
zmoylan-pione of the irish robotwars teams was stopped every time they went to a match as a bunch of irish lads in a van with a bunch of welding, electronics gear, with wires, electronics and a robot was slightly suspicious to customs in uk in the 90s21:26
diddledanrecently an all-girl robot team from afghanistan were refused entry into the US because the authorities are bar stewards21:28
daftykinsand Trump sorted them out with temporary passes21:28
zmoylan-pithe irish lads got very good at reassembling their ripped apart robot21:29
diddledanaah, yeah, I just spotted they been overruled: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/13/all-girl-afghan-robotics-team-allowed-to-travel-to-us-after-visa-ruling-overturned21:29
diddledanzmoylan-pi: were customs worse than their robot enemas?21:29
diddledan"your robot is nowhere near as destructive as customs!"21:30
diddledan".. so we'll beat you!"21:30
diddledan"we survived customs. we'll survive your POS"21:30
zmoylan-picustoms job is to make everyone feel they are lower than crap21:31
daftykinspoint of sale?21:31
diddledandaftykins: yeah. a checkout drawer makes a good armor21:31
diddledanwait, did I spell that americanstyle?!21:32
diddledanomg, I suck!21:32
daftykinsi can't even remember which is which in a lot of cases, now :(21:32
* zmoylan-pi hits diddledan in the colonies...21:32
