shmook Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yeah... Judging by the price of food here, I'm not in Iceland the shop. It's extortionate. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Tink, apologies for the double post... I got back from Iceland early Tuesday morning. It's probably the most amazing place that I've ever been. Surprise 40th from my wife. She did a brilliant job of organising it all, from the brilliant hotel to all the excursions/things to see. It's like a different planet, and even having seen a lot about it because I've always wanted to go, it doesn't prepare you for the reality. It's real bucket list stuff, and I'm fortunate to have seen a small part of it. Brilliant people too, a really chilled out country (if you'll pardon the pun). Living costs are crippling though, but I'm already wanting to go back to see more. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted March 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've ramped up the bike training. £ of us are doing Chase the Sun this June. 206 miles in 16.5 hours. It's going to be tough. Anyway, I am back down to 108kg and got an FTP of 217 watts. I'm back to 2 watts per kilo. Not bad, at my best I was 83kg and 351 watts though. That's a long way to go.

Cannonfodder80 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 What's a better feeling than when you've bought a new gun? Winning one. I got myself a nice new Ares Amoeba Striker SA02 from Combat UK in the raffle at RIFT's The Village last sunday Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Don't post often here, but I managed to make pulled pork with all the accoutrements by myself: cole slaw, brioche, and Carolina-style BBQ sauce. GF said it's possibly the best thing I've ever made, so I'm happy lol. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I am so hungry right now. hnnnnnng! DnD campaign is going well. So far at least. I have a lovely little group of badasses developing. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 We'll it appears this come on Eileen virus has a few positives.

Cannonfodder80 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Tbh I''ve found some parts of this lockdown quite enjoyable. I've been a fan of social distancing for years anyway, my local Asda is really quiet and the local smackheads usually found begging outside it are gone. Also is it wrong to laugh at all the people who think wearing a builder's dust mask or manky old scarf will protect themselves? Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Well, some builders masks will work guys. The key is that they are FFP3 or FF-P3. But yes, my mum has made some for herself with elastic and some black linen, This is what happens when you spend your life teaching home economics and not biology. Didn't have the heart to tell her.

hitmanNo2 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 At the very least, people that are wearing masks are reducing the chances of them spreading it. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I suppose it's not as bad as the woman I saw yesterday who thought walking around with her hand over her mouth (bit not her nose) would provide adequate protection Link to post Share on other sites

This is the key really - the various rating systems for masks were developed with ingress, not egress in mind - they're PPE first and foremost. When studied, it's been found that pretty much any level of mask, homemade, surgical, construction and so on, all reduce droplet expulsion to varying degrees. In a situation like this, where the pandemic is in action, people doing what they can to flatten the curve, reduce exposure etc. "every little helps" And another thing - this is completely anecdotal - but I reckon if more people started wearing them then more people would remember to take, or keep taking, this seriously. Whenever I see someone out and about wearing a mask (I really need to get one, for the rare occasions I go out) I realise "oh, *suitcase*, there's a pandemic". Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Guess who has got a new computer? He's tall, a bit chonk, posts the on this forum, double posts actually. It's me. Wasn't that hard to guess actually. Anyway. Got myself a 3900x, X570m Pro4, a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD, 32 gigs of decent RAM and I am going to water cool it and jam it in (and partly out of) a case with my old 1080ti and PSU because there was nothing wrong with them. I needed to order some cooling parts so I can't do pics until they arrive but when they do, I will. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Need it for paint. Can't quite cope with opening 70 tabs at once though. Actually, now that I have a VR headset (on loan from work) I am going to give DCS world flight sim another bash. See if I can master the UH-1 Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 That sound you hear is me retching. CTRL+W, close tab. Read it, close it. I have an encrypted drive and any time my laptop is out of my sight I turn it off so that will never happen to me but. You are sick. The reason the Tab thing happens to me is that I never log into Youtube, I don't have any subscriptions. I save the "Videos" page of any channel I like in a OneTab and check them once a day. Never miss a video, never comply with Google. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Been away from my online presence for a bit while sorting some things out. Got my head straight now though. So, first post here in a couple of months, where do I start? Covid19 is . Lack of airsoft is . I still, so far, have a job though which I'm grateful for. And my car hasn't yet shat it's gearbox out like people told me it would, so that's a plus point. How's everyone else keeping? Link to post Share on other sites
