    It’s a such a shame that horses don’t have hair, like, near their head so you could braid both your heads together instead of having to use their tail :(

    /s just in case







  • This image is infamous among a very small circle of Belgian competition puzzlers.

    We have a 24-hour puzzle competition each year where teams of 4 people try to assemble as many puzzles as they can in 24 hours. This is sponsored by Jumbo and the puzzles are part of their new collection, so they’re new to everyone.

    The puzzles become gradually more difficult and usually the first one is 1000 pieces and kind of a fun or interesting one from the collection.

    Well, one year the first puzzle of the competition was this image. And it looked a little challenging-but-fun because it was black and white, but it ended up being near-impossible.

    As in, most teams spent all 24 hours on this one puzzle and we not even close to finishing it.

    So the years after that they introduced a “skip” option, where a puzzle can be skipped, with a point penalty. But the image is still haunting to us who took part in the competition that year.




  • The right to repair is not so much the right for you to repair your own appliances but more a series of obligations for manufacturers.

    This is what the European Parliament says:

    After the legal guarantee has expired, the manufacturer is still required to repair common household products, which are technically repairable under EU law, such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and even smartphones.

    And a little further:

    The rules aim to strengthen the EU repair market and reduce repair costs for consumers. Manufacturers will have to provide spare parts and tools at a reasonable price and will be prohibited from using contractual clauses, hardware or software techniques that obstruct repairs. In particular, they cannot impede the use of second-hand or 3D-printed spare parts by independent repairers, nor can they refuse to repair a product solely for economic reasons or because it was previously repaired by someone else.

    I would encourage you to get in touch with Beko directly and see what help they can offer. And if you really want to find a service manual, try other websites such as www.manualslib.com or beko.co.uk, and even possibly archive.org.
