As far as I can tell, this is referring to this proposed amendment of the Representation of the People Bill:

https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4080/stages/20676/amendments/10035247

So, not quite a petition for getting rid of FPTP per-se, but proposing an independent body is set up to determine the fitness for purpose of the current system, and suggest ways to make it fairer.

There's a little reading-between-the-lines needed.

Donald Trump has been posting images again.

One of them shows him attacking the Earth from space with lasers. Two places are being blown up, the clearest of which is Ireland (the second might be Bulgaria).

I'm British, so not totally up on US politics, but it surprised me that he was attacking Ireland.

I appreciate that he sometimes posts weird stuff, but it usually seems to be related to something. Attacking Ireland from space for no reason seems random even for him, so I'm guessing it's related to something.

So, please can someone with more insight explain why he'd blow up Ireland?

Can't help but think the BBC could have avoided a lot of controversy over the new series simply by using AI to replace Gregg Wallace with Loyd Grossman.

Hi all!

I've been looking for a video that I used to play for my kids when they were little, maybe 11-12 years ago.

It's a music video featuring a Korean (?) (maybe Japanese) rock song accompanied by a really cute animation of a hunanoid bunny or cat trying to deliver a cake.

The animation style was line outlines apart from a few solid colours used for emphasis.

The main character is trying to get a birthday cake to their friend's party, other animals are waiting.

He manages to keep to cake safe despite being squashed on the train, bumped on the street, and having a gang of thugs chase after him. While running from the thugs, he bursts through the door of the venue, trips, and the cake flies out of the box and squashes on the floor. It's a happy ending though, because the girl bunny loves the cake even though it's squashed, and the thugs are even allowed to have some cake.

I vaguely remember the lyrics saying in English "It's your birthday" during the chorus, but other than that it was all Korean/Japanese.

Please, if anyone remembers anything about this, help me!

I got some of the Sunlu High Speed PLA that I've been hearing good things about. On the first print I discovered that, while it prints beautifully, it creates a ludicrous amount of dust going through the extruder.

So I open it up to clean it out, when suddenly the tensioning spring shoots out. Searched for about an hour in total, it's nowhere to be seen.

I'd been thinking of replacing the extruder for a dual gear one anyway, so I took the opportunity to order a nice one from Micro-Swiss.

The problem is, that I have an FLSun Q5, and I'd seen from videos online that it doesn't quite sit flush - you need to print a spacer.

So I needed to get the printer patched up for one last hurrah. The spring was salvaged from a broken clothes peg. And it worked perfectly - not just "well enough", but easily as good as the original.

So in summary, if it helps anyone, losing the spring doesn't mean you need a new part - a clothes peg spring works just as well.

I'm seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK.

First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, "Keir Starmer" or "Mr Starmer".

"Prime Minister" is not used as a title like "President" is. He's not "Prime Minister Starmer". He's just "the Prime Minister" or "the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer".

Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules.

If you want to use this title, it's not quite as simple as replacing "Mr" with "Sir'. The first name is more important than the surname here. He's not "Sir Starmer". He's "Sir Keir Starmer" or "Sir Keir".

Hope it helps!
