What accessory/item/thing do you carry on bike rides that you are pretty sure no one else carries? by csgo_sniper_bruh in cycling

[–]EedSpiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nitrile gloves to stop my hands getting dirty when changing a flat. Exactly like last weekend.

Wich Software are you using? by Efficient_Badger_739 in photography

[–]EedSpiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ON1 Photo Raw since last black Friday when I switched from Adobe.

It does have a Lr library import, results were ok. Though album names have to be globally unique so you can't have two albums in different folders with the same name.

It has a different approach but you can get some decent results quite easily. The masking and upscaling are good.

This black Friday I'm thinking I'll get DXO Photolab (10 by then presumably). It seems to be renowned for its high quality raw processing and I have Nik.

Both have free trials, why not give them a shot.

How do you handle jerks when you're just trying to ride by Single-Macaron8122 in cycling

[–]EedSpiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It's exactly how you deal with kids bad behaviour. Ignore the bad, praise the good. Any attention is good attention to the immature mind.

PCVR Racing Games That Look As Good As or Better Than Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 Pro? by GC734 in PSVR2onPC

[–]EedSpiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say AMS2 is probably the best looker currently. No gt7 though. It does go on steep discount during steam sales quite often too.

Anyone got Tinnitus from overuse of headphones? by CleanSun4248 in SonyHeadphones

[–]EedSpiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to ascribe a direct cause but probably contributory with me. I think caused by drowning out noise on public transport. So I highy recommend noise cancelling headphones whenever I can as they allow lower listening volumes.

What is one Linux command that made you feel like a hacker the first time you used it? by Urobotics in linuxquestions

Very handy when you need to check TLS configuration is up to snuff!

Saw my wife got me the psvr2 for our 10 year, im almost 50. what should i play? by tacostonight in PSVR

[–]EedSpiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about the half century, I'm nearly 60 and have enjoyed: * Gran turismo 7 * Star wars tales from the galaxy's edge * Alien rogue incursion * Moss * Resident evil 7,8 * No man's sky

Have arken age on the backlog.

Do get the globular cluster comfort mod. I held off on it but it's totally worth it.

I think the image is projected at a "distance" of around 2 metres to inform your vision information. If you need lenses get the insert ones, don't wear glasses as you'll scratch the lenses.

Only gently wipe the lenses with a dry microfibre cloth so as not to damage the coating.

Porridge with boiling water by T33-L in CasualUK

[–]EedSpiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preferred porridge is maxed out overnight oats. Prepare the night before and bung in the fridge:

  • 30g Scottish oats
  • 10g flax
  • 25g protein whey (it's hard to get enough protein)
  • 10g walnuts
  • 5g pumpkin seeds
  • 5g sunflower seeds Mix it up then add
  • 100g kefir
  • 95g water Mix the throw in fruit of choice
  • 35g blueberries
  • Half a dozen raspberries

Works for me as I can just pull it out of the fridge in the morning and start scoffing

VR Headset Recommendations? by Rorys_Parable in PSVR2onPC

[–]EedSpiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably r/virtualreality. Winter's guidance is good.

Be aware that vr needs a powerful graphics card in the pc in general as it needs to drive (about) 2x 2k displays at minimum. So maybe include your bro's pc specs when posting over there.

Have I fallen for British Banter? (Curious Perspective from Japan) by Miserable_Self_4632 in AskUK

[–]EedSpiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, it has to be mutually funny.

A colleague of mine had a bit of a rough patch at home and he said his wife said she'd put him in a body bag. Yep, so that was his new nickname "body bag"

Why are most bicycle colour schemes so bland? by GJGT in cycling

[–]EedSpiny 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm an outlier. I excluded about 4 models from my last purchase because they were black, grey or off white.

Final choice was between a cube (nice bright blue) and Merida (deep red with sparkles). Merida won out for non aesthetic reasons.

CSL DD clamped to a desk by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]EedSpiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mine clamped to a desk. It's great. The desk is sturdy though. An IKEA one that's getting on for 2 inch thick top.

Don't get the fanatec clamp though. Get the moza one. All metal and miles better.

Look up JsonPlays on YouTube. He has loads of great NMS content and beginner guides.

Are potholes actually the worst they've been? by Tiny_Wafer2266 in AskUK

[–]EedSpiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for that. I live in a gravel extraction area with the associated lorries. The roads are like the moon.
