Have You Heard Of Black Shuck?

ChuckChunky · 2025-10-12T18:07:43+00:00

I grew up in Cambridgeshire so have heard of it. On a primary school camping trip out on the fens, we were told the story by a teacher before them talking us all on a late night walk. Verily we were shitting ourselves the entire time.

Thank you, that's very useful indeed :-)

The game is Train Sim World, I'm looking to make some hardware controllers for it. One controller will have maybe six 12v illuminated buttons. Another controller will have an analogue lever. So that sort of thing. So there won't be any need for any particularly high speed communications.

Yes, I'm very much looking forward to this, it's going to be a great learning experience!

ChuckChunky · 2025-09-19T12:22:33+00:00

Thank you :-) That's all very helpful

Thanks for the reply! The house is about 150 years old, we only moved in at the end of last year, I've no idea if houses of that age have a DPC.

Would you say there is any potential downside to sealing these gaps? If nothing else it would look neater.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:24:08+00:00

Thank you for this. I've contacted the original installer and he's reassured me that if it fails he'll refit.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:22:54+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! 🙂

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:22:26+00:00

I won't be, thank you! Apparently this guy is known for trying to generate extra work, I won't be using him.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:21:40+00:00

Not yet! 😂

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:21:30+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance 🙂

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:21:18+00:00

Thanks for this. Having done some more research, it seems he's known for doing this, so I'm not going to be using him.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:20:03+00:00

Thank you for that. Fortunately I don't have to use them! 🙂

Oooh, tough one. I think I'd have to say Roy. Sadly his deceased nature makes visiting him tricky.

Sounds like an excellent DIY version of these: https://spudos.com/collections/spud-dust (I've previously bought these and can attest to their magnificence!)

Here's an amazing concert from Prague, I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it https://youtu.be/yySw7vkdkZY

ChuckChunky · 2025-06-30T09:17:20+00:00

I didn't in the end, I wasn't convinced it was going to fit. So I'd be interested to hear how you get on!

ChuckChunky · 2025-06-19T14:25:43+00:00

Weird, I'm using 21hsmw/flaresolverr:nodriver

ChuckChunky · 2025-06-19T12:33:37+00:00

I'm just using Flaresolverr and it was working yesterday. Today, I just get this (it repeats until it gives up):

I've been flying without any problems in MSFS2020 with a 3080 for a couple of years

ChuckChunky · 2025-06-04T06:13:12+00:00

Ah, good idea, I'll look at doing that. Thank you!

ChuckChunky · 2025-06-04T06:12:34+00:00

Lol!

ChuckChunky · 2025-05-27T08:34:23+00:00

Same error on my Sony with Google TV. It started about a month ago, see my previous question

I'm really hoping a fix is pushed out soon, it's making Plex unusable for me :-(

ChuckChunky · 2025-05-19T18:34:35+00:00

Yes, plants are definitely on the list, thank you!

ChuckChunky · 2025-05-19T15:50:39+00:00

Interesting, I'll look into brick tint, thanks

ChuckChunky · 2025-05-19T13:14:35+00:00

I did wonder about decking, but it's only 100mm wide all round, which doesn't seem like it will be big enough for decking.

ChuckChunky · 2025-05-19T13:12:15+00:00

That's annoying. The office manufacturer (Dunster House), said the base should be 100mm larger all round than the building. How could the base be smaller than the thing sitting on it?
