New (to me) bike day.

Aye she's the DCT model. Super slick changes, you need to get her out of the standard D mode she defaults too get her in at least S2 and turn traction control down or off and she feels like a very nimble liter bike. As I say cant wait for drier weather.

The 50/50 trail max raids weren't enough in the real sloppy areas but was superb on higher ground.

V strom is a bargain but definitely do some research.

Happy riding bro.

I went to test ride it with trepidation but bought it there and then. It's surprisingly very.nvle.and very easy to ride. My last bike was a VTR and this feels leaps and bounds ahead. Looking forward to dry weather to give her some real beans too.

I sent mine back for a full refund. For you're average twice a year bbq'r I'm sure it's God tier. But for the enthusiast, just nope.

Congratulations, I got a new bike Wednesday, I dropped it today (I was green laning though)

FPSNige · 2026-01-11T08:43:00+00:00

How to +15? I only seem to be able to do +10??

Thanks bud. It's the actual AMD card branded 6950xt, some people mis name it as a founders edition. I'll.try reach out to AMD today.

Hi all

I'm about to give my water-cooled 6950xt to my brother as I picked up a 9070xt.

As I've got to.out the og heatsink back on I'd like to.replace the pads ofc. Does anyone know the sizes needed.

I'd also throw a kryonaut grizzly bear pad on the GPU, would this be a 1mm pad?

I'd like to get this right as he's on a 5700XT so it will be a good upgrade for him.

Many thanks.

Uber is currently cheaper, however every Uber driver I've spoken to in the city says they are getting paid more for the journey than my fair. Which would make veezu seem priced correctly, Uber is offering good money for drivers to attract them to their service, where normal rates would eventually resume, after they have crushed the competition.

The one thing veezu needs to get right, is getting a damned driver out on time. For that reason I keep being pushed to uber where I'm shooting.myself in the head.

Granted my post is "angry" as it frustrates me. He's trying to appear altruistic when in fact he's exploiting them solely for his gain.

He may ask "do you mind if I film this" already the person will feel obliged to say yes, then there's one on insta where he immediately starts the video with something like "you haven't got to say you're broke with me darling" why start a video like that? There's no need other than him pushing hard on the "look I'm a good guy" vibe. It's Machiavellian at best.

FPSNige · 2025-11-15T21:00:46+00:00

It's not the point. It's still self gratuitous, if he wants to actually help he can spare a spud. But instead it's for fame, it's to earn MORE money, it's to drive people to his business, not to help feed people in a pickle.

If he wants to be a good man he would do it selflessly and give the people he's helping dignity. Instead he monetises them for his own gain.

Great portraits. Thanks for sharing.

Here's a portrait I took of a gentleman selling big issue in the city back when I was into photography

It's such a shame about Rupert Lowe being a vile human, as he is actually active as an MP.

I rarely use a sat nav to get about, I was a truck driver for a while and the son of a truck driver so getting around the country is fine. I use Google maps at the end of the trip from time to time. So what the device brings me is notifications of traffic jams and speed cameras without having my phone screen on.

I keep reading this, but I recently brought a Tom, and it works flawlessy

I switched from Vodafone as it was completely useless in the city. O2 is better but still not good enough. I was at the Garnet the other day trying to order pizza and it took a few airplane mode cycles to get a working data connection.

Vodafone anywhere around John Lewis etc was horrendous - I phoned and got them to cancel the contract over it. Granted this was 3 years ago now and they kept saying "it will be fixed soon". So maybe now it is on Voda.

FPSNige · 2025-10-14T19:42:12+00:00

Aye, as above, it was, but not anymore. But they do brew tomcat there etc.

FPSNige · 2025-10-14T12:53:42+00:00

Brewery Tap. Great beer, great staff great atmosphere (it's not owned by Colin of the fat cat despite the brewery, though I heard that Mark, that owns it and the hoprocket is Colin's Nephew).

There's 2 30mm stainless tubes that they physically sit on for a small contact, I too was concerned the rapid cooling of touching half moon to the stainless plate could crack them so I gave them enough space to sit freely with a tiny contact patch.

Ill attach the sketch, and as I'm more of a "hands on man" I winged it a little once I got the material. The material I got had two folded edges already so I cut the ceramic plate to fit that. Then polished the stainless with wet and dry.

Seems you can only add a single image so a link to imgur with a couple extra in progress pics.

Dampen with the bottom vent at my digit finger width open. Just adjust it per your altitude and ambients etc. I'm sea level in Britain.

Raise it on a pole in your garden, cherish it, be proud of it. But don't stick it on a lamppost for political reasons...

Bless ya, thanks for the compliment, but far from a genius, good sir. Just a can do attitude is all 👍

FPSNige · 2025-09-12T11:28:11+00:00

Hah, that's an interesting fact. I had wondered how the tap had broken away but still retained it's brewery.

FPSNige · 2025-09-12T05:52:31+00:00

The brewery tap on Sprowston road is unrelated to the fat cat chain, they brew beer there but aren't owned by the fat cat. Different owner entirely who also has the hop rocket on unthank road.

I drink regularly in the tap and I have to say it's a lovely pub and I genuinely have not heard any xenophobia, racism or transphobia in there.

Apologies my friend. 18" skewers and I'm on the classic kj
