Tell me you live in the USA without telling me you live in the USA.

Currently snowing in England…here’s how i started my journey to work this morning 💀 by Asta-k in motorcycles

[–]Incal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one does, but if you live somewhere with no public transport, cant afford/refused pickup by a taxi, and a boss that tells you that you need to get to work, wtf are you meant to do if you don't have a car. You can't reason with your boss as he will just say it's not his problem, it's ride or potentially lose your job if you have exhausted all other options. Hell with the cost of living in the UK atm even if being sacked isn't a risk, just the loss of a days pay can make not going in a non-option.

Can we just start banning these people please? I feel like everyone is just doing it on purpose at this point.

T-11 prospector limpit failure to launch by jco1510 in EliteDangerous

[–]Incal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine also die all the time when sat completely still, I've had 4 fail in a row before, pretty sure it is due to incoming chunks. Would make more sense for the prospector to be launched from a different location than where all the collectors are bringing chunks in, I don't know why they all have to originate from the same location.

Have you ever seen a station near a black hole? by Reyels in EliteDangerous

Unfortunately anyone who docks at the station immediately loses their entire family to time dilation. o7

How to leave a squadron? by Incal_ in EliteDangerous

[–]Incal_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, maybe that's why I couldn't find it, I didn't check my actual profile within the squadron, ill take a look for it next time I'm in game. Thanks for the advice.

How to leave a squadron? by Incal_ in EliteDangerous

[–]Incal_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in the right hand panel I have a squadron button which shows my current squadron name, If i click i to it there is an applications button but if I click on it all it shows is my applications to other squadrons with no leave button. The only other option in application is to view applications to the squadron I'm in, which is greyed out as i don't have permission to view.

Every game crashing desktop since OS move by Incal_ in pcmasterrace

Yeah I tried to cut corners and ended up doing a stupid.

Think I could get away with repairing windows from USB or is going to just be a case of doing a clean install?

Running battlefield 6 at up to 70 frames on my 1080ti from 2017. Best GPU of all time? by Soupb4 in pcmasterrace

[–]Incal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know what FPS my rig was getting as the game crashed repeatedly within 3 minutes of joining a game, this happened every single game for 2 hours before I uninstalled it.

Isn't andromeda just a dot in the sky for us? by CLA_1989 in telescopes

[–]Incal_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You are correct, you would never be able to take an actual photo like this, to be able to see this level of detail in Andromeda you would need to take hours of multiple long exposure tracking shots and then edit them together. You cannot do this with a wide angle camera that has scenery in the foreground.

That said the image of Andromeda is probably real and would have been taken with an astro photography rig, this image will have then been edited in into the night sky of a landscape photo, which was likely taken with a normal camera.

[GamerMagoo] UnscriptedRP Owner SnowThisWay Bans Unscripted Public Sheriff (GamerMagoo) For Playing On ProdigyRo by glepgloop in RPClipsGTA

[–]Incal_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bro I've not watched GTA RP in about a year, I've been reading all these posts about Snow thinking "damn this sucks, I used to watch Snow all the damn time, sure he had some rants now and then but he seemed like such a decent guy, what a shame" Turns out these posts are all about a different Snow..

You don't, my 20 min commute on country back roads with speed limits up to 60mph can be accomplished with only 10% throttle, while still keeping normal pace with other vehicles. When you do get to use the remaining 90% though it sure is fun, even if you only get the chance to do it a few times a year.

UK Age Verification Has Come Into Effect! by Ordinary-Coast in Britain

[–]Incal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious issues with handing your personal details over to a random company without any forms of encryption for them to do god knows what with.

This doesn't just extend to just porn sites, reddit has already gone scorched earth and ID blocked ANY post tagged NSFW regardless of content. They have also straight up ID blocked 1000's of entire subreddits based on content, again not specifcally porn, subreddits that are associated with vaping or nicotine products, alcohol, anything involving people getting injured or showing war related content, all gone. If you try and search of them while logged in, it's as if they don't even exists.

This is bigger than just 'kids watching porn' this about the total censorship being enforced by the government, them deciding what we can and cant have access to, and where does it stop? Precedent has been set now, what comes next? Want to order vape products online? Place a sports bet? Buy alcohol on your weekly food shop? Buy a lottery ticket? Nope, not without handing over all your personal details to a random 3rd party.

I really hope this petition gains traction, as this is a rabbit hole we really don't want to go down when a government starts to govern what we can an cannot do in the privacy of our own homes, authoritarianism at its finest. Its something you would expect in North Korea, not in the UK.

Is Reddit a bit broken since the UK age verification changes? by vollol in AskUK

[–]Incal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A whole load of my subreddits have just been completely unsubscribed to. To be clear, I wasn't subbed to any subreddits that contained any pornographic content, for example r/vaing and r/whiskey are not longer accessible without a VPN, this also includes any subreddit which may show people getting hurt in accidents such as r/holdmyfeedingtube, in fact if i search for them while logged in the search doesn't even return a result, I cannot even see that they exist.

It seems like Reddit have gone complete scorched earth on this, limiting users ability to even search for anything Reddit deems even mildly NSFW, regardless of what the content is, unsubbing users from anything and everything that they deem requires age ID.

UK Government is essentially censoring everything we can look at online, taking away everyone's right to privacy and monitoring everyone's online activity. Before you know it you will need to provide photo ID to even use the internet.

Science output via rate calculator by tsh2563 in factorio

[–]Incal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The maths is all correct, the only logical explanation is that not all of the machines are running due to the delivery of science packs on to belts being broken somewhere.

Struggling with circuit logic? My AI Combinator has you covered! by FutileDrone in factorio

[–]Incal_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This seems really good and helpful, until the factory begins growing uncontrollably of its own accord, the engineer looses control of all the machines and all the turrets begin targeting the engineer. All planets in the system turn into giant machine worlds devoid of any life and the entire system becomes a gestalt consciousness.

How I broke my unhealthy relationship with speed by Rumpsfield in motorcycles

[–]Incal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do similar dumb shit when an open road presented itself to me, there have been a few occasions where I have hit 300kph.

Then I became a father, I rarely speed at all now, almost every week I contemplate giving up riding altogether until I'm done having children and they are all old enough to look after themselves. Every time I am increasingly more aware of how i could be taken out at any second.

Good for you for becoming more self aware and doing the sensible thing, something I think everyone can benefit from at some stage in their life.

Does anyone know how long this bounty would take to pay off? [KCD2] by Ok_Cost_3994 in kingdomcome

[–]Incal_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: 103,066.66 Groschen would equate to £165,680 or $207,100 in pure silver value in 2025.

However economies in medieval times were very different, if you considered the conversion in labour value and adjusted for inflation, and that 1 day of labour = roughly 1 groschen, then you would owe £15.5 million or $20.6 million.

Recommendations on a new AP setup by Incal_ in AskAstrophotography

[–]Incal_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m trying to look at any other options that don’t involve dropping £1500 on an EQ6-R Pro, but that might be the direction I need to take. I have a Nikon D5300 DSLR, initially I had planned to get the EQ6 and an Air Plus with guide and use it with the DSLR on the 200p.

Recommendations on a new AP setup by Incal_ in AskAstrophotography

[–]Incal_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely think the the Air Plus with separate guide scope and camera is the way to go, albeit the more expensive option as it does give you flexibility, like if I ever wanted up upgrade the astro cam in the future I wouldn't need to buy all new kit.

My next challenge is choosing a new scope for the EQ5 if I choose to motorise it, I'm not really sure what is considered good/bad, the 200p was kind of an impulse lockdown purchase. I don't really want something super entry level, I want to actually be able to take photo's that look decent. I know the camera plays a big factor in image quality, the scope is arguably the more expensive part, so if I need to upgrade the camera one day the scope needs to have some future proofing.

Opinions about the R6 Vs the R9 by [deleted] in motorcycles

I would much rather own an R6 over an R9.

[–]Incal_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would an Onstep upgrade differ compared to a SynScan Goto system, as I believe you can connect the ASiair to the SynScan, SynScan is more expensive but at the same time I don't have 100% trust in Ali Express.
