No, because AFAIK that will associate the Pre-installed omega Ruby to that account. And I don't want that.
And no it wont

Pre-installed does not have NNID tags that's why we can install Pre-installed on any 3ds via homebrew only FBI on a ofw 3ds

So never play online?

I've got enough other 3ds systems that I can play online with.

AFAIK, as soon as you set up an NNID on the system, I will link the system and the installed content to that NNID. I.e. the game can not be re-downloaded without that NNID and needs to be transfered using system transfer. I'd rather not test to see if this is true. There is no need for me to set up a new NNID and I can set up my primary NNID as that is already linked to my N3ds...

Long story short: no need or benefit of me setting up a tertiary NNID.

I bought some fire red cherry shrimp yesterday and chocolate rabbit snail.

Just saw some baby shrimp in the tank but they are too small and my phone cant focus on them to well.

Also found some baby rabbit snails in my tank today, 2 of them to be exact. The main reason I like rabbit snails is the way they look and that they have one baby a month, that's the main reason why they're so expensive. So from one snail I won't have 500 of them like I did when I have mystery snails.

Also bought Castlevania requiem on PSN yesterday

@Tom Bombadildo the topic is supposed to be "recently". Something you started 9 months ago is a bit beyond that.

Keeping on topic. Usual books and tools, including a nice deal on some drill bits (lidl were doing a nice step drill, taper drill, something they call a milling bit and countersink, and in my case also a set of forstner bits all for £6). Found a copy of Animal Crossing DS for £1 in a charity shop (case, manuals and all) so I thought it would be rude not to, apparently it still commands a reasonable price as well.
Got a pretty sweet case iron book stand as well but I may end up losing that.
Hi can you help me to choose the right bits sets? I read reviews about the bit sets for the drill https://drilling-it.com/best-router-bits-sets-reviews/ and now I can’t choose the right one for me, since I liked several options at once. As I see, you understand the drills and would like to ask what you think about this

A new screen and battery for my iPhone 6 Plus. Installed them last night. Turns out, it wasn’t that hard to replace. Also it turns out, my battery was swelling and pushing on my screen from the inside. Probably going to put my original screen on, as now I know why it was looking bad. You can tell this new screen isn’t apples original.

Those are router bits. Theoretically you could use one in a drill but most would use them in a router or maybe a milling machine. If you did use them in a hand drill it would likely leave a very bad surface if it is handheld, most of those are for specialist tasks too which you would not be able to do with a hand drill, and probably be very dangerous to boot. That looks like a fairly basic set on the cheaper side of things but will likely do what you need there for household carpentry type setups in normal woods. Most people have those and then buy any really fancy edge bits as they need them or see them.

Drill bits. What do you want to do with them? For most home use then a decent set of non Chineseum bits will do most things. Do you intend to sharpen them when they get dull or just buy replacements? If you don't know how to sharpen and don't care to learn then stuff like Titanium Nitride (TiN, typically a golden colour) can be nice to have but such goes go the first time you touch them on a grinding wheel.
For home use there are typically three styles aimed at wood, metal and masonry. Sizes will typically be basic metric and basic imperial, and then ones aimed at more specialist things like tapping threads where you want to be pretty close to things.
Masonry bits will typically come with a carbide tip and are what you want to drill into brick, concrete, some stone and such like if you are dealing with buildings like that (pretty much every house in the UK is brick and concrete, US ones... you might have to go some way to find a brick house there). Typically to put up shelves and mount things to the outside of the house. You might get a hole in brick with the other sort but it will dull the bit incredibly quickly. You will probably also want a hammer drill for this sort of thing.
Metal will also do wood and plastic reasonably well (indeed some woods -- my current house has hundreds of years old oak which is hard as anything and snaps basic wood bits)
Wood will tend to have a spike on the front to try to hold it in place, larger versions will be so called spade bits and while there is some overlap there is also hole saws. There are other sorts (some of which mentioned in the post you quoted) but most of those are for use in trades more than anything you will likely encounter in the house.

Video because why not


If you intend to play with CNC machines and mass production then fancy coatings, cooling holes and whatever else come into play but at that point you will likely have a tool seller to help figure things out.

Short version. Most of the time there are kits of bits put together for tools and DIY shops. Most of those will do OK for things most people want to do around the house (holes in wood, putting shelves up or brackets on walls, holes in walls for wires, the odd hole in a piece of steel or aluminium to poke something through it) especially if they are not the cheapest Chinese ones. Fancy coatings are OK but I have never seen one I would pay up big money for for household/handyman use, though that might change in the coming years. If you are going to do more hardcore metal work then pay up a bit more for something better on the metal bit side of things. If you are going to play builder then you will probably have to start looking at SDS/mini SDS drills. Oh and I should also note that while you can put a screw in with a drill that a impact screwdriver is very nice to have if you have a lot of them (the impact thing making it go quicker, and free up stuck ones more easily without camming out as much).


Back on topic. Some actual games. Where widows and orphans traditionally give me the best deals on tools then spurned lovers and bored mothers are typically what do the best on games. In this case £5 for all of them there. I know they are not the best games and they are loose but still something to play.

Finally I was watching mrpete222/tubalcain the other day and one of his old and cool tool segments was on Bernard pliers

They seemed cool as anything but I never expected to see any in the UK, was happy to be proven wrong.
