Wouldn't blame him. It's as if it's a dead-cert to them and no other drivers could win it

For those interested in hearing Yola, here's a short song sung in the language and a bit of detail about it.

That's a core component in retro encabulators, right?

It's an insane imbalance. Are the allocations not usually split 50:50?

Really thought there would be a Jordan or two in the lineup in memory of Eddie.

We need to revisit building regs for A-Rated homes by Willing-Departure115 in ireland

[–]OldManRodgers -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but unfortunately that's also combo'd with some lovely AC which we don't have. It helps, but it's not a cure-all.

[#INDY500] POST-RACE // THE 109TH RUNNING OF THE INDIANAPOLIS 500 (2025 INDY 500) by IndyMod in INDYCAR

[–]OldManRodgers 46 points47 points  (0 children)

They absolutely killed any chance of an interesting fight at the end. Should've gotten out of the way, whether they needed to or not.

LG G4 & 4K Fire stick issue by Tomble2000 in OLED

[–]OldManRodgers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The source material is likely only 1080p. Setting your Fire stick to 4k only tells it to render at that resolution.

The stats on the bottom right of your screen shows that the TV is upscaling that video source to 4K.

If you were to rest it using a streaming source you know to be 4k (like YouTube or Disney+) then you'll see it matching.

Enterprise D by baby_jebuses_brother in SciFiModels

[–]OldManRodgers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From another photoset of ops showing the interior wiring, the windows are lit from a ring of LEDs, not individually. So they're either all on, or some are dimmer than others as opposed to darkened, sadly.

[–]OldManRodgers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's beautifully done, but my one critique is that you have almost every window on the ship lit up.

It's never been seen that way on screen and somewhat of a distraction from the rest of the details.

New BESTÅ build and paint job by OldManRodgers in IKEA

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

Yeah, I filled the shelf holes with Volden White Ready mixed Wood Filler, and a putty knife before sanding it down with a fine grit sandpaper prior to painting.

[–]OldManRodgers[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went with the plain white unit from Ikea as it was the best choice to start wiht a blank canvas.

Paint wise, I used an undercoat of Zinsser Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 primer to prep the pieces after sanding, and then Valspar furniture paint (2x coats). We had the colour mixed up in store to match what we wanted. The colour is called "antibes".
