Ok, so I've taken up modern art, specifically painting abstract water colours. This is my latest painting which I call "Blue Pollution". You can interpret it as you like, but I like to consider it as a comment on our throwaway,...

Ok, this is something harmless you can try and not likely to cause any self injury! Draw two points on a piece of paper at a distance you think should be 4 inches apart (or 10 cms if you live in metric land). Now measure the...

EugenesDIYDen @sishy7 Yes something like that. I'm trying to spread my DIY knowledge empire across all social media.

EugenesDIYDen So that's about 12 %. An alternative you can try is drawing two lines at 90 degrees, and measure the result with a protractor.

EugenesDIYDen Well when you mention furniture, it reminds of me of when I made a bench for my computer years ago. Being over confident of my ability to measure by eye, I made the bench sufficiently narrow ( or so I thought) that it would fit through a doorway into an attic...

EugenesDIYDen 10% error, not bad, so lets see if anyone else can do better! It would be interesting to try different spacings to see whether the percentage error stays the same. I reckon my ability to judge 4 inches is from looking at 4" timber a lot when doing DIY...

So has "The X-Files" become a parody of itself? The episode about the lizard man 'Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster' is OTT even for the X-Files, but hey, it's sci-fi, and I really want to believe!

Fox tried to grab viewers for the return of The X-Files by having it follow a playoff football game on Sunday night. But then in addition to the game being a blowout and losing viewers early, they ran the post game show deep into...

EugenesDIYDen Hmmm, they're milking it after all these years but I suppose they'll get some new younger viewers who don't remember the original series, and those of us old enough to be nostalgic. Pity it's only going to run for 6 episodes, but maybe it'll be stretched....

Will it ever end? 3 Solutions: Throw them out the window and buy new ones. Use plastic cutlery and utensils. Use sheets of paper for plates and eat with the fingers. Use one communal dish for food during the day, like a pig...

EugenesDIYDen @simone10 My sister loves her dishwasher, but I never bothered buying one. Do they always get the dirt off dishes? I find that cereal sticks fast to dishes, especially muesli, and if its not rinsed off immediately, it's really difficult to get off.

EugenesDIYDen @vandana7 Do you think a tool could be made for eating this sot of food, or are fingers just so versatile that it's not worth reinventing the wheel?

EugenesDIYDen I had considered PTFE or silicone spray (which I use on my bicycle chain) I could coat the cutlery and dishes with that and then use an air compressor to blow off all food debris, or maybe get one of those compressed air hand driers which can be seen in public...

EugenesDIYDen @BethieAnnie The "A" series of paper sizes were developed during the French Revolution. They have an aspect ratio of \/¯2 . The convenience of this is that halving a sheet of paper, converts it to the next size down. Also images/documents can be reduced or...
