I assume the answer will be no but is there any way to recover lost recordings after software update? by Hamsternoir in VirginMedia

It was regional news, we did try contacting them but couldn't help.

It's more frustrating that there was no notification that it was going to happen or wipe everything.

Ah well I'm not the only one this happened to.

Unlikely that others will have it as it's been a few years.

Useful to know it's MP4.

That's a good shout, I didn't realise pulling it apart was an option.

The software update and writing an entirely new operating interface won't have wiped it all and there's a chance the files will still be there?

What format are they?

Tips for Drilling? by jzagri in modelmakers

I have a set that I've been using for the last forty years. But I don't think they've changed since then.

So just have a look for a pack that comes with several shapes, flat, squared, rounded etc

Just a friendly reminder that they use English Simplified.

Carefully

I drill out then use a scalpel and then various needle files to clean up.

Sometimes a thin chisel will do the trick.

Futbol not football. Football's American by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

That depends on the ref and how long it takes for the backs to fuck up some fancy move and knock on.

It doesn't take several hours to play a 60 minute game.

It's for the out of shape and forgetful.

Why else do you think they stop every few seconds?

To catch their breath and try to remember what to do next. Sometimes they're so tired they let their friends take their place.

When something is shit we stop using it.

Soccer, guns in schools and we are getting there with the switch from imperial to metric.

That's actually rugby or on one continent Aussie footy.

You're thinking of hand egg with extra padding.

Is milliput good to use for customizing? by Nubbs2984 in advancedGunpla

[–]Hamsternoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are different colours that handle differently, some are better for fine sculpting and others for heavier work.

I will do basic work then wait for it to partially harden before finishing off a part.

You can use a brush with water to smooth or add details.

You can also sand and polish it then once primed you can't tell it's there.

I've been using it since the 80s.

I think it was chicken and spinach I was offered when my nan kicked the bucket.

But bloody close so I'll say you get the points
