hitmanNo2 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Turned off a 20MPH high street today into a car park. Sign up advising end of 20MPH zone. You can now do 30PMH in the car park heh. Made me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Messing around on the flightradar24 app I found someone forgot to switch off their transponder before starting an air strike in Syria. This guy caught my attention https://goo.gl/photos/rAXyAx9wRx256YtB9 Zooming in this was his flight path https://goo.gl/photos/aZhdULdZnJdPBnxv9 Not long after he was joined by a couple of friends who quickly disappeared (one went before I got a screenshot) https://goo.gl/photos/bEndGQzwRKHh9ire7 He then crossed the road and appeared to move backwards and forwards over the same spot before disappearing https://goo.gl/photos/nTneJwLxgARjn3BR9 Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I had some money on the Mayweather fight last night. I honestly thought it would be a boring fight, over in few rounds. Got to hand it to McGregor though. He brought his A game. I was starting to feel a bit worried as Mayweather was doing some weird stuff and took a while to get going. Typical; Mayweather playing the long game I suppose. Towards the end you could tell it was all over for McGregor. I guess fatigue setting in after giving it the full beans from the start and perhaps used to shorter UFC matches. Personally I would have liked to have seen it go another round and a KO. Still, nice bit of tax free money heh. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm still not sure on it yet. Before I heard it, most reviews seemed to be unanimous in 'I hope it's a grower' I'll give it a few more listens for sure. I respect them for evolving their sound over the years but man Rated R and SFTD take some beating. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Since the RS subforum is kinda dead, just wanted to post I finally built my first real steel AR15 a few days ago. Having some malfunctions but it may be just due to *suitcasey* ammo, gonna go back to the range to retest and swap buffers to see if it'll solve it (well, once this damn hurricane goes away )All in all super satisfied and super happy, big thanks to Kagami for helping me pick out parts. I like the build so much, I will most likely replicate it using a GBBR in the future Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Been in the Cotswolds with my Mrs. We hired an electrically assisted tandem bicycle. Got off to a ropey start along the lines of "What makes you think you should be telling me what to do?". Apparently having cycled 414km in 20hrs 45 minutes without sleep does not qualify me to give bike suggestions. After a pub lunch she decided/realised I was right and the return trip was a flawless bit of tandem riding. Until the rain started. We were fine though. Looking on eBay for tandems now.

scorch Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I saw a side by side tandem today. Was very strange. I can't see it being much cop for going in a straight line if there's too much of a disparity in the weight of the riders. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Side by side tandem looks like a trike right? For when you want the effort of a push bike and the inconvenience of being as wide as a small car. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's a quadricycle. They are garbage for the above reasons. I want to get a Hase Pino to make things easier for my wife. But they are ruinously expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Got my mobile upgraded. Costs me an extra £5 a month and my old phone is on the way out, so it'll get a new SIM and become my work phone. Google Pixel XL. Loving it so far, but it's very jarring how quickly your paradigm can shift: HTC One M9 - 1080p display Google pixel XL - 1440p display Before today, I would have told you the HTC had a sharp, seamless display which was flawless to the eye. Three minutes after using the Pixel XL, I had to transfer files from the HTC and suddenly I can see the individual pixels and it looks slightly blurry. Obviously, this is just my visual cortex, the HTC display hasn't become any shittier in the last few minutes, but it's staggering how quickly it happens. This must be what it's like for people who need glasses. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 My phone has a 720p screen because it can go brighter and uses less battery. That is why I can charge my phone on Thursday night and still have 20% battery on Sunday night when I go to bed. I like high pixel count things but not on things with batteries. Nice phone though. Did you get it on a deal due to the Pixel 2 being out soon? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Interesting to see the iPhone get left behind in terms of design these days. Even China is smashing out some beautiful phones that put the iPhone to shame. Link to post Share on other sites

Did you get it on a deal due to the Pixel 2 being out soon? Yup. My old HTC M9+ was doing fine apart from the headphone port being dead and the battery being old and running itself flat too quickly, so it's getting relegated to work phone duty.

amateurstuntman Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Cool. My contract runs out next month and I am not even going to get a new phone. I am so happy with the S60. I will keep an eye out for a hypothetical S61 but it would need to have USB type C and wireless charge at a minimum to get me to switch. From the looks of the survey they sent me recently they are considering a laser thermometer for the follow up phone. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 When is the S61 due? I'm very interested! Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm not sure, I don't even know if it will be called the S61, I just made that up for discussion purposes. It'll be a while, they are still surveying existing customers about desired features. They must be near the start of the product cycle. I wouldn't expect the yearly Tick-Tock of the big boys. The S60 is a stonker though. I will almost definitely buy an S61. Link to post Share on other sites
