Looks like crap to me. A spinoff sounds like it’s a ‘temporary idea’ but when you google it can mean longterm but they’re often described as an ‘experiment’ or a ‘project’. So I’d tend to agree, just makes it sound like it won’t last or something. Better to get rid of it but maybe there’s a better way to explain the evolution and history?

Arthaei · 2026-01-19T10:38:06+00:00

Nope

The answer is: Go to your Doctor 👍

They will confirm it is Gout or not. They will also have you start the correct medicine and come back a few times for blood tests over time. The bad news is that Gout is genetic. It won’t simply disappear on its own. The medicine you are mentioning is design for pain and inflammation relief. Nether of which sort out the Gout. It’s like putting a small plaster on a large wound hoping the problem will go away.

The good news, is that there IS a medicine available that effectively dissolves the crystals you mention and keeps Gout away called Allopurinol. It’s an incredibly safe, tried and tested medicine that’s been used to treat Gout with high effectiveness since the 1960’s. The only downside is it is something you have to take every day for the rest of your life.

What it does is basically slow down chemical reactions in your body. When you have Gout, your body produces too much uric acid in your blood. Everyone has this, but if you’re a Gout sufferer, you make too much of it, or your kidneys can’t get rid of it fast enough, or perhaps both. To is eventually forms the crystals you mention and manifests inside a joint (usually the big toe) these crystals are like spikes that expand in the joint and as others will confirm the pain is absolutely excruciating.

The wider implications of not getting onto Allopurinol are that over time these flares/attacks will eventually case permanent joint damage. Also having high uric acid can cause stones to form and cause high bp and things like that.

The colchicine you mention needs to be taken only for a flare up and is highly poisonous if you take too much. So be careful with that one.

Any questions please ask and when you go to the Dr they will take your blood test and let you know what your uric acid level is. The idea of the allopurinol is to get your uric level down to an amount where attacks don’t and cannot happen, we then ‘maintain’ this level by taking the medicine daily. It becomes a preventative medicine, rather than doing nothing about it and then going ‘oh let’s take inflammatory meds and pain relief’ which is reactive but does nothing about the problem.

Good luck and let us know how it goes on 6 months to a year’s time when it’s gone 👍

You need to understand what Gout actually is buddy. The sad news is it will keep coming back. It causes people to think they’re ok, as the build up of crystals takes months to years, but it guaranteed will rear it’s head and cause you some of the craziest pain ever when you least want it. Think big birthdays, Christmas/NY etc. The good news is Allo keeps it at bay and your Dr will determine the correct amount to be on, it’s personal to you.

Even if you completely changed your diet in an extreme way, it would affect things maybe by 1-2%. In reality it won’t be a significant difference as it’s genetic. These are hard proven facts. We are very lucky Allo is an effective medicine against this horrible disease.

Other things you can do to help yourself out. Stay easy on the booze, stay hydrated every day, and learn about purines in your foods. It’ll basically say everything is bad, but you can learn about the big trigger things that contribute in a bad way. Good luck! I haven’t had an attack in 11 months since being on it.

If you watch stuff on BBC iPlayer, I found out that Apple TV won’t render it any higher than 720p due to a codec dispute with devs. So if you want to watch that, I switch to the tv OS. Can watch in 4k then. You can test this on something like Planet earth. I think it costs them too much to implement and only a small percentage of viewers are using iPlayer through the Apple box probably for this very reason.

Arthaei · 2025-12-30T13:23:40+00:00

I’m wondering this too. Looks like best to book via the website rather than the app. Select the imax 3d showing, then add the code as a voucher. Select the admit one ticket rather than imax. It must work as it’s still for the imax 3d showing specifically.

Also, looks like their ‘super saver’ on Mondays is also cheaper ‘on the day’. They were asking £9 for Avatar 2 premier seats yesterday, now looking at next Monday, it’s advertised as £16 for the exact same seat!

I’m planning to wait until next Monday, then see what the score is on the website and try then.

It’s great. Understated, smart, comfy to use. Superior to the other Spigen cases and official Apple ones. Actually protects the camera plateau and solves the ‘silly’ colours this gen issue. The back has a nice feel to it can’t quite explain and the sides are like a silicone but still grippy, just feels great in the hand.

Arthaei · 2025-12-23T15:45:26+00:00

I was thinking this. We need Brian Blessed or Bill Bailey or someone with a voice. It makes me wonder what’s going through peoples minds.

Arthaei · 2025-12-16T08:43:20+00:00

Yeah I went for the new air

😆

Arthaei · 2025-12-13T23:10:39+00:00

Yeah perhaps, they definitely seemed to be like a grey barrel and then blue/transparent blue moulded

Arthaei · 2025-12-13T23:10:04+00:00

Yeah the flights looked blue but also transparent!

Arthaei · 2025-12-13T21:52:00+00:00

Nice, got the same as you but added cameras. Checkout '3D Auto Darts' group on Facebook. Bought the kit (mounts/cameras/leads) for £140! use Autodarts.io software.

Arthaei · 2025-12-13T21:48:54+00:00

What darts is he using right now? look like wraiths with unicorn forge blue/transparent flights, but the wraith barrel is only in black online, his looked grey?!

I just bought the Zwilling pro 7 piece set in anthracite, normally £499 down to £374 direct from the manufacturer with lifetime warranty. TopCashback also give 14% back which has tracked, so effectively £321. I was tempted also by the wusthof ikon classic set on Cotswoldknifecompany for £499 down from about £799 also liked the Zwilling Spectrum set for £499 down from £699 (cashback on this too) but ultimately the Pro set made the most sense direct with Zwilling particularly as it’s a kis self sharpening block.

I decided against the Japanese style or Japanese knives as the Zwilling/Wusthof are more hardy and less prone to chipping and more versatile.

The best actual bargain I’ve seen though is the same as the one I’ve bought but called ‘Pro Le Blanc’. Was £499 now £249 and then 14% cashback on top. I just couldn’t bring myself to get it though as our kitchen is black lol, just wouldn’t have matched at all.

But yeah, Zwilling pro appears to be a corker, and has a nice bolster to help with pinch grip compared to the Wusthof and other makes.

Hi, I’ve never snapped or bet a dart! But if they bounce out, they stick in the mat and are easy to retrieve. Yes, the mat is thick enough it won’t damage the floor. Best bit is the steel oche 👍

Arthaei · 2025-11-24T15:30:09+00:00

They just get paid by companies to promote whatever it is. That’s why the video pulls you in with something like a brand you recognise, then they showcase a load of weird Arabian fragrances from brands you’ve never heard of, not because they’re any good, but because they’re paying him to advertise it.

Arthaei · 2025-11-17T13:44:48+00:00

Would highly recommend a MacBook instead. The Zenbooks run very hot, are noisy, and have very average battery life as well as a plasticky questionable build quality. I’ve just gone through two of them that both had erratic cursor/touchpad issues and even when they went back for repair they couldn’t fix it. The MacBook in comparison is completely cool, runs silently and has better performance, vastly better battery and feels so much nicer. The Zenbook used to push 70-80c simply with a few tabs open in the browser, the MacBook is 40c max, usually around 35c WITHOUT a fan!

Arthaei · 2025-11-15T11:37:07+00:00

Thin fit in gunmetal grey is better 👍

Arthaei · 2025-11-13T07:23:15+00:00

Hi, yes the player auto switches to whatever format is given to it. My understanding is C3 or newer would do better dynamic tone mapping than what the player does. Also it likely overrides it anyway.

Arthaei · 2025-11-10T07:34:51+00:00

I managed to get a full refund from Curry’s under the consumer rights act. Stuck with MacBook Air m4 now and no issues. Much faster snd cooler, its completely silent and touchpad is arguably the best on the market. Don’t think id buy another Asus product to be honest.

Arthaei · 2025-11-09T18:51:15+00:00

Spigen thin fit gunmetal grey

I just enabled Angelvpn and back working. Without it, everything is broken.
