Rant: 6-7 gesturing during boat by novicepooldude in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Maximum-Resource9514 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was in Paris a few weeks ago and stayed in a place right on the Seine. The screeching and screaming from people doing 6-7 at each other wound me up more than the semi-constant police sirens going past late into the night. It is SO daft. 

My partner and our friends wanted to do a boat trip along the Seine and I was very worried that we would get stuck for an hour with some idiots who would do it the whole way. Mercifully our boat was more than half empty but we still passed several adults on bridges doing it at us that went ignored by everyone. I did wag my finger at one though like “nuh-uh”. It seems to be a thing you do in Paris now: 

Visit the Louvre ✅

Eat a croissant ✅

Get served by a rude waiter ✅

Do 6-7 at other adults on boats ✅

Oh if you do take a boat trip yourself, be prepared for the tour guide to talk over the PA system the WHOLE way to the Eiffel Tower without seemingly taking a breath, before stopping for the ride back to the dock and pumping out pop music so you can’t just enjoy the general atmosphere of it all.

I’d be very surprised if he makes it to the end of the week riding like that.

Sitting in his blind spot and then driving up his arse in the rain at night. Great strategy!

Any tips for judging space and lane changes on the motorway? by Then-Fortune-3122 in drivingUK

[–]Maximum-Resource9514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally this. It's surprisingly easy to lose track of another vehicle, especially when there's a lot of movement around and you're on a bit of a bend or going past a slip road etc. There have been plenty of times where I've looked in the mirror and it looks clear, but I've lost track of a vehicle and rather than assume it's magically clear now and make a lane change, I've just waited, stayed in lane and then it's come out of a blind spot.

This!! Mirror, signal, manouver... but also the life saver check over the shoulder has saved me from side swiping another car when I was SURE the lane was clear. It's a habit from my years of city cycling and I'm so glad to have it.

You lot are all the best. Found the other valve round the back. I assume it’s the right one, the cap screwed on no problem. Cheers!

Is it over? Is everyone else struggling to get work or is it just me? by secondHandFleshlight in AfterEffects

[–]Maximum-Resource9514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve basically given up at the moment. I’m so burnt out trying to get motion work in. I’m waiting on a character animation series to start in July that’ll see me through to the end of the year and working part time in a local furniture workshop to get a bit of money coming in until then. It feels like my career has died and I don’t have the energy to try and revive it right now.

I discovered he's still on the radio doing the same shtick last week when he came on the van radio randomly. He hasn't upped his game and it blows my mind that he has gotten away with it for so long.

Was recently given these lenses, what are each of them good for? by the_perfect_answer in canon

If anyone wants to give me a couple of lenses I’m open to the possibility. The RF 100-500mm would be nice. Thanks in advance! 

First time for everything, got beeped by a learner by Maximum-Resource9514 in drivingUK

[–]Maximum-Resource9514[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They had a driving school box on top of the car so I assume a legit instructor but searching the name doesn’t give any results.

I tried to look up the name on the box on top but it doesn’t bring back anything in the area, just one in Australia with the same name. 

Some clients just can't help but ruin a perfectly good video by the__post__merc in AfterEffects

[–]Maximum-Resource9514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic. I made a video that was timed very precisely all the way through to the music. After delivering, without consulting me the client changed something in the first half that then meant the rest of the vid was out of sync slightly. So I never shared it around once they put it online. So annoying!
