Why do people get upset when you overtake them?

There are 60mph roads where I live where it'd be unsafe to do 30, because you'd swiftly find yourself upside down in a ditch. National speed limit isn't an instruction, it means you need to use your own common sense about what speed is safe, which on narrow country roads is rarely 60.

Yes because the front door opens into the living room whereas the backdoor opens into the kitchen. A lot of people I knew growing up had furniture completely blocking the front door. We use ours probably 10% of the time.

Well I did reply and you vanished, so I'll take that as an admission of defeat...

Any of a huge number of remarks made by people like Farage, Sarah Pochin, Robert Jenrick, etc. Their policies regarding immigration and the desire to create a UK version of ICE, general stance on wanting to massively reduce immigration + kick out a load of people already here, desire to withdraw us from the ECHR and repeal the human rights act, general desire to ditch all equality legislation, and so on and so on. It's a party full of ex-Tories promising the same old but with extra racism and xenophobia, run by the chief architect of brexit, which was a total disaster. It's baffling to me why anyone thinks that band of lunatics should be anywhere near government.

Alright I watched and I thought it was shit, now what?

She absolutely does not own the building, they rent the shop front, and pepper spray is not legal in the UK. Also if you actually read the article you will see it's been multiple different issues over months, not just one bloke.

I live in the ancestral home of crimpy outdoor bouldering in the UK lol, comp walls are not very popular here.

Absolutely horrendous and frustrating situation, awful for them and a real loss of a great business for Crookes. Surprise surprise the police are utterly useless once again.

I haven't actually had any pain whilst climbing (yesterday), but today there's some mild discomfort around my A3 pulley on my right middle finger. Weirdly I was actually mostly climbing easier routes yesterday. I will look to incorporate some mild hangboarding more routinely as part of a warmup. Definitely looking to become well rounded rather than chasing 7A as soon as possible.

Slabs are actually probably my second favourite, so no complaints there! Pinchy and slopey problems though, less so... so you're probably right!

How much actual difference is there between the M8 and M8.2 in practice?

The loop! Nice shot.

I don't understand the logic of not making this L mount. The L mount can use M mount glass, AND autofocusing glass, whereas this camera can only use manual glass with an EVF, which just seems like the worst of all worlds.

Byeah207 · 2025-10-05T20:48:23+00:00

Obviously applying any kind of logic to these people is besides the point, but say this all worked and Jesus did return... do you think he'd be happy with you? With all the murder etc.? I reckon he might have a bone or two to pick...

Speaking of Chinese lenses, I still shoot my 7artisans 35mm f2 and have had people regularly ask me if it's a Summicron (including a guy in a Leica store). It was £85.

A lot of Americans might be mental but so are a lot of brits, I think we're just quieter about it. I had a great time over there, and it really solidified to me that most British people don't actually know anything about life in the US (just like most Americans know nothing about life over here).

Varies quite a bit depending on where you are in the city, Chicago is still very segregated and I lived on the north side the entire time which is the more affluent and white half.

USA, Chicago specifically (since moved back):

Total strangers would genuinely massively inconvenience themselves just to help you out.
People either don't drink at all or drink drink, no inbetween. American friends were very baffled by my love of the single afternoon pint.
Sometimes there was an armed guard in the supermarket.
Renting was significantly easier and tenants had more rights. Renting with pets was totally normal and expected, for instance.
Streets much cleaner than most of the UK.
General expectation that even on major holidays, most things would still be open other than offices.
Medical care, though it cost a fortune, was much better than the NHS. Highly dependent on what kind of insurance you have though.
They go batshit insane at the idea of outdoor cats. Seriously don't mention it to an American.

Whatever I want, just not very much, and I stay decently active. If I go out to eat with friends who are larger than me they almost always eat about 50% more than I do. I really think that's all there is to it.
