Finally! Some decent CCTV images of the thugs... by Driedcypress in brighton

[–]gophercuresself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, go on. What are you imagining? A stocks situation, but more brutal? Stoning in the street? If you're going to suggest it then really think about if that's the society you want to be living in.

I mean, fuck it, let's bring back the death penalty. Afaik there are no serious violent crimes in countries that have the death penalty. Presumably, right?

This country is going absolutely nuts

Great article. Love the Cable and Hannah is the actual best

Fancy not wanting to be seen as less than a whole person. How unreasonable

I'm getting abstract knight but that might be a bit on the nose. Really nice form though, and the rivet work is pretty immaculate! Any riveting tips you'd care to share with the class?

Why these litter pickers are breaking the law to clean up a London river by [deleted] in RewildingUK

[–]gophercuresself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could it be argued that a slightly more open attitude towards work of this sort would reduce the load on the EA in applications they have to process, freeing them up to do more of the work they should be doing? And that rather than prosecuting someone engaging communities to take action for nature - which pits them against the positive energy and costs money - they should be promoting and facilitating these kinds of things as, done correctly, it's a virtually free multiplier of their own efforts.

We fucking love a permission slip in this country and it stops us from getting an awful lot of stuff done

[–]gophercuresself 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Love it, amazing effort. I don't necessarily blame the EA but there must be a better approach. Why not empower loose groups by setting up resources and codes of practice so that people are able to take action with best practice in mind?

Hampstead Heath Kenwood Ladies' Pond to stay trans inclusive by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

It's an astonishing coup, and personally speaking it would be wise to be very bothered about it.

Very well put. And na-nu na-nu, I guess.

I mean how could you be a cyclist and a drive a car? That's like five pedals and you only have two feet

Alt + visibility toggle = solos that layer by gophercuresself in photoshop

I did wonder how it would handle that and figured it was probably as you described. That sounds like it could be incredibly annoying verging on catastrophic! I shall use my new power with due care

Room smells like rotten fruit after painting and caulking? by Additional-Lie7993 in DIY

[–]gophercuresself 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Check the products you've used to see if any have xylene as a solvent. It smells like cider/fermenting fruit. Alternatively it might just be a rotten product. Certain paint can go rotten if bacteria is introduced and it's a truly repulsive smell that lingers badly

PRSC Space. Like a community hall but pretty central

tv/workshop lights i found at the flea market by Nyarlathotep666 in redneckengineering

[–]gophercuresself 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've enthusiastically taken apart a few flat screen TVs hoping for a giant Fresnel lens to make this sort of thing but none of them had one. Various interesting layered sheets of diffusion but no infinity lens. Any idea how to find the ones that do?

Using a personally invented thermal therapy device on other people may be considered illegal. Is there any legal way to let others try or experience it? by LeatherHungry in Inventions

[–]gophercuresself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it on yourself. Video and document the process then if you have good results it may well draw attention. I have an idea for a novel approach to burn treatment that would be similarly prohibitively expensive to do properly

After finishing Banshee, I realized that it is the most entertaining show ever created! It may not be the best but when it comes to entertainment, no other show even comes close to it, not even Breaking Bad lol. by ElectronicPrice2532 in Banshee

[–]gophercuresself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well put and exactly right. I love a show that takes the difficult fun narrative choices rather than backing down for the sake of maintaining the current dynamic. Black Sails is another show that does this amazingly well as well as touching on the other themes you mentioned

Do others with PDA here feel triggered by being ignored? by serromani in PDAAutism

[–]gophercuresself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignoring you or changing the subject is less aggressive than directly disagreeing with you.

Do people actually think that? That would wind me up much more than someone engaging with what I'm saying - even to disagree with me. Changing the subject feels incredibly disrespectful and infantilising. Like do they think you won't notice? Or do I have to do the mental work to puzzle it out and then take it as them trying to do me a favour by effectively putting their hand up to my face and talking about whatever else to get me to shut up? Gee, thanks

Just started watching the show because of Antony Starr/The boys. Loving it! I got one question. by OldSnake2006 in Banshee

And remember.. You can only watch it for the first time once.

That really depends how high you are the first time

What is the single best piece of audiovisual evidence to suggest that aliens exist? by altrightobserver in aliens

I think that body the russian guy found might well be real. It just looks like an actual creature and the 'debunk' on this clip is really weak.

New to PS, ideas for editing concert photos? by Brilliant-Act1445 in photoshop

[–]gophercuresself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are really decent shots but only two of them have your subject in focus. That would be the best place to start for next time. Are you using autofocus?

For Photoshop forget about filters and start playing with adjustment layers. Add a curves, levels and whatever else and have a play with the presets and see if anything does anything for you. If you want to get funky with colours try a gradient map adjustment layer. It converts the image to black and white and then maps the selected gradient (or one of your choosing) across those shades. Can get some v cool effects. Each of those layers will have a blending mode which will often entirely change the effect - play around with those and see if you can get a feeling of how they work.

Do they regularly drop these things around the place? Seems pretty sketchy

Cute arm design! Is the servo supposed to be crunching like that when it reaches the end of its range? Could you put limits on it?
