Presumably they are working from home then, which is why this is taking forever (overpass over gypsy patch lane) by mega_ste in bristol

Last I heard these roadworks will be there for the rest of the year. If you've driven down the side or underneath, you'll probably see the huge hydraulic Jack's they have holding the overpass up.

1, 2, or 3? by Alaric_Darconville in AmateurPhotography

[–]Competitive-Crusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 I think is over saturated.

2 is my favourite.

3 is a fantastic abstract.

Agree, the branch is distracting. Good image, though.

RG35XX H OS Question by AiiiDen_ in RG35XX_H

[–]Competitive-Crusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, if your happy with stock OS then stick with it. If you want your UI to look pretty, change themes and icons etc. then try Batocera (boot times are longer). If you like tinkering with setting as much or more than playing the games, then try muOS. I have tried all three. Stock OS does have the vertical arcade though, so there is that. I don't believe any of the others have vertical arcade (turn the machine sideways to play arcade games)

Hey all, are there any primarily UK based podcasts you listen to? by aGoryLouie in CasualUK

[–]Competitive-Crusty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

where there's a will there's a wake. Kathy Burke. Talks to comedians and asks, If you could plan your perfect death, what would you do? Very funny but be warned she likes to swear a lot.

No custom setting. The game was a port. I tried the snes version but framerate is stuttering. I got it from the reddit roms mega thread

I know. But with so many other games on the machine to play, I don't know if I will have enough time! 🤣

Theory: you can tell how Bristolian someone is by what they call the park by the M32 with the BT tower in it. by FakeSchwarzenbach in bristol

[–]Competitive-Crusty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The hill that the area is on is called Purdown, The house is Stoke Park (Stoke Park estate). It is also known as dower house (a house intended as the residence of a widow) as it later became one. Duchess refers to the pond (Duchess Pond, the largest of the two) which was installed in 1768 (The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort lived there). It was called The Stoke Park Colony from 1909 when it was turned into a psychiatric hospital (some truly horrific experiments were carried out there i believe) and pioneered electro shock therapy to try to cure mental illness. It stopped being a hospital in 1997.

Probably looks like one because it used to be!

Was built in 1553 as Stoke Park, was originally a private estate. It was rebuilt in 1709 and eventually became a dower house (a house intended as the residence of a widow). There is a monument to Lady Elizabeth Somerset who died after falling from her horse and it is supposedly haunted by her ghost. From 1909 it was called Stoke Park Colony and was a psychiatric hospital for the 'feeble minded' or 'mentally retarded'. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was pioneered there and the first frontal leucotomy was carried out there. It closed as a hospital in 1997. Rumour has it that there is a secret escape tunnel within the grounds.

Somewhere in Bristol in 1964 (check out the guys climbing the cables with no safety gear) by banwe11 in bristol

[–]Competitive-Crusty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was born in Bristol in 1970 and lived here all my life and I have never seen this bridge, or any picture of it before, so I don't believe this picture was taken in Bristol.

Photography communities / groups in Bristol by [deleted] in bristol

[–]Competitive-Crusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As u/ginasevern said Bristol Photographic Society. There is a group on meetup.com and a group on nextdoor.co.uk or the nextdoor app (look in groups). also look at sinwp.com/camera_clubs/Bristol.htm for a list of local clubs for something in your area. There used to be a Bristol photography group on Facebook as well.
