Possibly Skyward by Brandon Sanderson ...?(disclaimer: based on asking ChatGPT)
Edit: aware that Brandon Sanderson is not female!!

From the same producer as Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
Not a film, but the link is for the full 24 episodes of the scifi TV series Space: Above and Beyond (they (should) just play in order)

It's worth reporting that as a bug then, as it may affect other videos and/or sources too

Using polsy.org.uk to check, the above is what shows... so I dont know what to tell you

Doing a bit of research (and checking with a video of the Arsenal vs MLS All Stars game yesterday), this link can be used to check which regions the video is restricted from:
Would it be possible to add a note of any countries the movie is restricted to in the title bar (eg, USA only, or Not in UK, Japan etc)? Or at very least in the post body text? This is something that could help people from feeling frustated if they find a film here that they might want to watch, only to click and have the "this content is not available in your country" pop up appear. Thanks

A study of 170 people?!? That seems a little low as an n count to be drawing such sweeping conclusions from.
Rust effect created by layering red/dark brown/light brown/orange/orange and tan/tan paint. Each layer was very thinly applied. Scotchbrite (fine grade) was used to homogenise the colours occasionally, then layering continued.

I dont mind it, but I dont like things changing that I am used to (its an autistic thing), so the loss of the 'Save' marker threw me a little earlier. An adjustable setting would be great for this, maybe an either/or thing

Ok, so it seems if you update to v0.10.9, we are back to the 'Save' button under the post instead of the swipe action... swipe still seems to work for me too

Yeah, I just found it recently too

Old Man's War by John Scalzi - not high literature by any means, but a fun read nonetheless. Currently reading the sequel, The Ghost Brigades, which is equally as fun :)

I was in the same position this morning, after the last update.
Swipe the post/comment to the left and it should save it.

Also Stargate Universe - it is a shame that it was cancelled after only two series, as it was getting quite good

Something Wicked This Way Comes... my dad and I stumbled into an onboard cinema on a ferry trip to continental Europe, and I saw maybe two or three minutes of the film, out of context. I could only have been about 5 or 6 and the imagery on screen scared me witless.

Ultimately, you know more about your situation than anyone else on here. Multitools can be a boon if you do not have access to any other tools, but they invariably are not as good as specialised tools - they are very much the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none in the tool world... I would still, if you are on a very strict budget, suggest you get some decent pliers, a decent set of screwdrivers, a hammer etc, rather than sink ~£100 into a good and usable multitool (if you buy a cheap, Chinese one, it may not last/hold up if you use it robustly).

Thanks!

Multitools do a multitude of things 'ok' - typically they will not be as good as a specialised tool, but in a pinch, if they are all you have to hand they will do just fine. If you are working at home, or in a workshop, I would suggest investing in the tools you need to do the jobs in hand and add to that tool kit as you need to.

I like the main ship from Battle Beyond the Stars
Hope this is ok to post here! This is (one of) my university final projects - a starship, based on the style of 70s and 80s models (eg, Blake's 7, Red Dwarf, Alien, Star Wars etc), and meant to look somewhat like a dragonfly. It was designed from tip to tail in FreeCAD and printed on Elegoo Mars 2 and Voxelab Proxima 3D printers.

Did you look at my other pieces on Pixelfed? Its not just small pieces... ;)

I would post them on here too, but I don't want to spam too many pics!
Edit: thanks for the compliment - hopefully I can do it justice in the painting department :)
Preparation of the mech I designed in FreeCAD, then printed on an Elegoo Mars 2. Pieces still need to be cleaned up a bit before being assembled, and I am not sure on the pose I want it to be in when finished (it is designed to be multi posable, not just to be assembled in one particular position). Also, no idea on a colour scheme as yet. Guess I will just wing it! I have more (close up) images if anyone is interested in them

One is a very heavy animal, the other is a little lighter!
I asked them if they could teach me to do the splits. They asked, "How flexible are you?" So I said, "Well I can't do Tuesdays"
One asks, 'Do you come this way often?' The other nun replies 'No, it must be the cobblestones!'"

To be honest, I have no idea - she is a mongrel mix (if that is the right term for a cat), no pedigree to refer back to... I have had cats in the past, however, with similar patterns that our vet has referred to as "silver marl" tabbies.
