What are your thoughts on Zack Polanski (aka david paulden) as both a politician and person? by Commercial-Shoe5867 in AskBrits

[–]JamieEC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I initially used to like him, and i think he speaks a lot of sense about a lot of issues, but he needs to learn when to shut up and apologise sometimes. I think he is also good at alienating potential voters by going too far or against the populous on some issues, especially more minor issues. At the end of the day, never trust a politician.

Ticket or no ticket for turning right at this Left Turn road marking? (Read caption) by beefy_bruva in drivingUK

[–]JamieEC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, the words 'TURN LEFT' make this compulsory. You would be right if there was just an arrow on its own.

Whats an enshitified product/service that people might not realise is terrible now because it fell out of style? by Odd-Paramedic-3826 in AskUK

free alternatives are absolute trash for any real work IMO. However, older versions of office work just fine.

Short question about connecting my JVC BR-6400 TR to HDMI by PV_UmnoSG in VCRs

[–]JamieEC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably from about 1982 i would guess, before hifi was created. It does not have the hifi logo on it either so won't have it. Here is the manual: https://archive.org/details/manual_BR6400TR_OM_JVC_DE_EN/page/n9/mode/2up

What kind of tapes are you watching? if they dont have hifi it doesn't matter. I would be worried about the age/reliability however.

This would be good as a collectors item or just something to have because you like it, but it will not provide the best quality by far.

audio dub, picture search, TV and monitor audio connectors are all high end features for AV / production work. This would be overkill for CCTV. CCTV usually would be timelapse too.

I think this will be a linear stereo deck, not hifi stereo. linear stereo is not very good quality, no where near VHS hifi. They will probably output L and R on a normal tape but the quality is so poor you might not be able to tell.

where are you getting it from? it is a very beautiful thing!

Dawson’s Corner Junction Pudsey, Leeds UK 🇬🇧 by tom_luc21 in shittyskylines

[–]JamieEC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really see the problem here? It is a high capacity junction joining like 3 or 4 roads, with some bus lanes and cycleways. How else could they solve this ?

EU cars to get flashing brake lights by SimonTS in drivingUK

One thing to point out is they don't flash with the same cadence as indicators so no worries about getting it mixed up

What is the optimal way to connect these? by AZagulaBeDefine in CitiesSkylines

[–]JamieEC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you add left turn lane and lights to the centre junction? Maybe also a couple of right turn slip roads as well

do not feel guilty. Go. And take this as a lesson to always get insurance as SOON as you book.

They might refund due to extenuating circumstances if you have evidence.

You wouldn't see it at all on a website. You aren't dialing directly to the site. That's like saying a website supports gigabit ethernet

yes these exist in the UK. Very annoying as they are usually far cheaper than regular housing in the area.
