It depends what other outgoings you have.
20% is a huge amount to be spending on lego if you are spending 95% on essentials.

| | Hello,
I'm building the 42145 Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter. On step 142, the instructions
show inserting a red pin with axle through two narrow beams, through a wide beam,
and in step 143, placing a pinion on the axle end and another pinion on the axle
beneath it. After installing both pinions, the longer axle is almost impossible
to turn due to the friction from the red pin with the axle end holding the pinion
above it. Before continuing, I want to make sure this is correct as it doesn't
seem right.
Thank you!

Hi, I haven’t built the set or looked further in the instructions but it looks
like a classic brake, to prevent the axle from rotating freely.
Is it part of the landing gear’s up-down mechanism?

I don’t really agree with that, or that depends on whom you label “scientists.”
Open source is the fundament of science: you share what you do, how you do it,
with what you do it.
Grafted on that is the people who pay the scientists and want something in return
or want to know how/to whom to distribute the money. And those people are therefore
interested in technology and applications, not science, and there you get patents
and secrets.
As for artists, well all the artists train by looking at and reproducing others’
arts (works for paintings or books). Then they find & do their own things and
add their creativity… or not, when they found the “cash recipe” and rehash the
same work / story over and over.
Those AIs do exactly as the latter: they are trained on what exists, find the
recipe (in a totally obscure way for us) and produce similar things over and
over.

You shouldn’t say “you should…!”!
As both buyer and seller are French, I suppose they spoke French and so there
should be less of a language barrier.
There’s several nuances in French that can be reduced to “you should…!” in Globish.
For starters, there’s “tu” (singular & colloquial you) or “vous” (politeness
plural) or the impersonal “ça” (it, but then it would translate to “it should”)
or the impersonal “il” (similar to “it should” but translates to “you should”).
Then there’s the tense: present (obligation) or conditional (advice).
So it’s hard to judge just on a translation what could have triggered that answer.
Also, these social codes are not always understood or shared and it seems the
seller is under stress at the moment.
I mean, the answer is still out of line but it may not just be the exclamation
point

Hmm, there can be two reasons they are most wanted:
— they are rare, and therefore you don’t need a lot of storage place,
— they are sold as fast as the the stock is replenished, and therefore you don’t
need a lot of storage place.
On the contrary, parts that are least wanted aren’t sold and therefore accumulate
in your store and need more storage place.

— click the “Quantity” button, it opens a dialog with the option to multiply

You’ll have to do that for all the pages.
You may also copy the wanted list to another one (same procedure but click “Copy”)
and buy the two together.
To buy multiple WL together, use the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page

AFAICT from the ones I have (some of them missing a bit of chrome), ‘embossed’

If you remove the chrome, the pattern is still there.

| | I'd agree that the
buyer has used a hack to get more time to pay if they selected an IBAN option
when they intend to pay through PayPal, as the selected method holds the items
to give them more time to pay when selecting the payment method they will use
would not.
If you dont want them keep adding in multiple batches, you can mark the order
as packed and that would mean they cannot add to it. After your time limit, invoice
them with IBAN information as that is what they selected.

Yes, the buyer could at least have asked the seller before doing that.
If a seller wants to allow keep-open orders, they can. If they don’t, that means
they don’t want such orders.

In UK self employed have to pay "forecasted" income tax based on the
previous year's income which can mean paying tax on money you haven't
earned if you have a bad year after a good year. You get it back but they use
your money!

Yes, we also have that in France, especially now that we have withholding tax.
But that’s tax you owe, not tax you collect.

I mean most stores are already collecting it so they still get it but now I'm
going to have to do a confusing year again with gst/hst remittance based off
of forecasted tax I'm going to collect this year and then if halfway thru
the year bricklink decides its finally time to collect tax its going to be more
headaches to sort everything out again

ah yes, guess I should have asked if anyone Answers their emails.

reading should lead to answering if you want to sell something to an interested
buyer. I certainly answer my emails as fast as I can just out of courtesy.

Yes, but some don’t and have no problems with it. Their loss.

Ah, I was about to answer to the Subject with something like “most receive their

Even with commas, English is complicated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma
(TBH, the ambiguous examples can often be translated literally in French and
they’ll be ambiguous too. But let’s not be honest and continue bashing that
awful English language )
