This is what they call cutting the Gordian knot. I can't decide if it's lunacy or genius.

Well, since 'the cloud' is a nebulous term that normally means a bunch of VMs running in a datacentre, I'd say it's genius ;)

You are aware there are better ways of disposing of a body, yes?

disposing of a body
Huh? It has been proven by the following guy that it is easy to dispose human bodies with enough consumer grade drain unblocker fluid. CSI:Belgium repeated his 'experiments' to empirically proof this.
-

My favourite idea is to dispose of all the soft tissue (all kinds of ways to do that. Dissolve it with some household cehmicals. Compost it. Boil it off the bones, mince it all up, and make a lot of pork pies...), and wire the skeleton up as an anatomy specimen. Keep it in plain view in your house, preferably with a funny hat on.

Yeah, but would you want to go to B&Q and buy five gallons of that stuff?

"Pork" pies… not sure what to think of that, honestly…

And all the while the burning lime
Eats flesh and bone away,
It eats the brittle bone by night,
And the soft flesh by the day,
It eats the flesh and bones by turns,
But it eats the heart alway.

??
Go to Gamma for 2 bottles, go to the Brico buy 2 more bottles. Go grocery shopping in a big supermarket/hypermarket, buy 2 bottles. Go to the Aveve garden center, buy 2 bottles. This stuff is sold at so many places that it is easy to acquire a big enough quantity by just buy small but spreading out your purchases a bit.Disposing of bodies is hard, smelly work.

Once again, it was a slug of egg shells run through the garbage disposal. I replaced all the metal stuff from the disposal to the wall with PVC, so it's easy enough to take the trap off. The biggest PITA is moving all the stuff out of the way.
-
That's some shitty waste disposal if it gets gunked up on egg shells…

They were chopped into small enough bits, but they had been accumulating in the sink for a few days. Had to be at least a dozen. I thought I'd spaced them out enough so they'd clear, but obviously I was wrong.
-
We don't have sink garbage disposals were I come from. They sound like a fantastic idea on the face of it, but on the other hand, while picking food bits from the washing up out of the sink can be tedious and sometimes gross, putting things in the kitchen bin can't cause a need to unblock the sink.

He'd much rather just march into Cuba and kill everybody in a "justifiable" war.

Never said he was; could have been a hamster that died of natural causes

could have been a hamster
I hope not, that would be a really fiddly skeleton to wire back together.
-
Use a sweatshop for it. Those kids have such delicate little hands
-
That sounds like an awful lot of overhead for a one-off job.
-
Good point. You need to work at scale for this. Gas a few million hamsters, ship them to China, get the nicely wired skeletons back and buy a much bigger house to fit them all in

Take someone hostage, and then force them to assemble their own skeleton into an anatomy specimen for you. Then dispose of them!
-

Superglue to the rescue! Or alternatively you can use a paperclip to tie the pad back on to the support for it.
-

Tried that.It failed
@locallunatic said:the support for it
Is the bit that broke
-
Oculus Reparo?
-
Then time for the alternative I suggested. Or you can build a new pad using tape off of what remains of the support.
Note: my glasses may be kinda janky due to trying shit like this.
-

Good idea; unfortunately, I can't find my wand.So tomorrow I'm thinking Specsavero Visito
@locallunatic said:Or you can build a new pad using tape off of what remains of the support.
The support broke off at the frameThey're still usable, but they probably need replacing anyway.
-
putty ?
-
The support broke off at the frame
Tape part of a paperclip to the frame and you now have a new support.They're still usable, but they probably need replacing anyway
but that is the sensible solution.

I snapped my frame in two the other day. I was cleaning my lenses, then suddenly I had two half-pairs of spectacles. (Two monocles? A spectacle?) Tried supergluing them back together, but that didn't take.
So I had to go to the opticians and apparently my preferred frame style is out of fashion this year, so now I have a pair which make me look like Buddy Holly:

If the break was on the bridge couldn't you have done some kind of tie between the nose pads to hold it together?

I don't have nosepads. The frame is plastic, so I might be able to drill into either side of the break and put a metal pin across it or something, but it'd be a lot of hassle, and hard to do without making it look shitty.
Was a shame though, I really liked that frame...
-

Oh, if that is one of your requirements then none of my suggestions should be listened to at all.

1 is likely. However, we have strong evidence for 4. Occam's razor would, in that case, suggest "crazy".
