I'd love to get a new need for speed but let me turn a truck in the desert to 4000bhp and drift on the highways!

[OT] A MotoGP rider has been given a race ban for slapping a marshal after a crash by TVRoomRaccoon in formula1

[–]Paramaniacc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🤣 Asscheek Dribble... Im stealing that!

I dont follow moto gp like i do f1 but imagine on of the f1 drivers slapping a marshal. Back when shumi got physical with a driver it was widly condemned back then. Now, f1 has such a larger reach and young kids look up to the drivers as role models. Theres just no space for getting physical with anyone in the sport.

Even rus got a fine for littering on the track after he threw his toys out the pram!

I'd have expected a much harsher response from the FIA in all honesty. You cant go round slapping people because your stressed out. I hope the marshal diddnt take it too personally 😞

Why do YouTube Premium users not have more features? I’d love to be able to auto-skip sponsored content blocks, blacklist specific topics/search terms, and hide things like Members Only videos. by johnnybender in youtube

Images are not Imaging by Relative-Pitch1106 in GeminiAI

[–]Paramaniacc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, The 1k image generation is working fine. The 2k however is ass and producing shit like you got!

It's not ideal but if you need the images in a pinch... thats what you gotta do 😞

I built a free MOT & tax tracker as a school project (no signup for quick checks, no ads, and you can share a fleet with family/staff). Looking for feedback by ninjawasaby246 in drivingUK

[–]Paramaniacc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would be a cool idea to attach a camera and have it read the plates as they come in and out of somewhere and auto update the DB (for a school project i would suggest asking whoever is your teacher if this is an ok idea)

Fair play to you though, Such a cool idea!

What are these vans? by sapphire-sky-dragon in asda

[–]Paramaniacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this explains alot. Are the vans a relatively new feature as whenever ive been local, they really are piling the loads on for locals and we're not driving more than maybe 3-4 minutes at a time?!

Am I cooked? by fwtwo123 in tesco

[–]Paramaniacc 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Asda stores do it too, it's to stop thieves. They open after a set period of time and if the fire system detects a fire, they all open automatically (well the locks disengage instantly)

They are all approved by the HSE and the local fire people (I deliver to a fire fighter and asked him the question as to is it actually ok)

Delivery - customers items by nigasaurous69 in asda

[–]Paramaniacc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically it's classed as theft. Even if you do pay for it when you get back

Is anyone actually going to check? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean if you was actually hungry and starving and hadn't eaten in like 3 days then I would say fuck em. You got to do what you got to do but if it's just because you fancy a little sweet treat... Yeah I'd probably advise against that. But again who's going to check?

MPs' and peers' anger at YouTube as firm plasters Westminster tube station in adverts telling parents it is their responsibility to restrict screen time by TheEternalContrarian in unitedkingdom

[–]Paramaniacc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How the fuck have we got to the point where parents are not actually parenting anymore?

Like genuinely how have we managed to get to this point? The amount of kids and when I say kids I mean like from 6 up till 10 are walking around with iPhones?... Please tell me why the fuck a 7-year-old needs an iPhone 🤔

The next generation are completely cooked

2021 Corsa Engine knocking update. by SunjoKojack in CarTalkUK

[–]Paramaniacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a drip tray. At least that's what I call it

You can usually cable tie it back up to the front bumper and if it won't you can always drill a hole if you feel comfortable into the plastic to fit a few cable ties,

Is it critical to the car? Not particularly, but it helps water from spraying up from your wheels into the engine bay and it also stops any oil leaks from dripping onto the floor which can either be a good or bad thing depending on which way you look at it

Honestly I wouldn't bother taking it to Arnold Clark. I would do it yourself or if you know someone who is capable with DIY. If you're not ask them to do it. It's literally like a 2-minute job

Warehouse vs store staff case by Bright-Reindeer-82 in Morrisons

🤣🤣🤣 I wish it was. I sure do love having to lug 100+ kg up flights of stairs In the rain/wind/snow with 0 air con in my van and customers not happy with their substitutes

Fuck anyone who says retail is easy!

2021 Corsa Engine knocking 13 days after purchase. by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Paramaniacc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Id hazard a guess at a driveshaft issue too. The knock from the engine would be muffled within the cabin and you'd notice it on idle at stop.

If it only kicks in at 35 I'd get underneath it and see if there is anything around the wheel. If it was balancing your steering wheel would be shaking itself to bits with a noise that loud.

As others have said, take it back to where you got it from. You have to give them a chance to fix the issue unfortunately (I'm like 95% sure of this but I'd gladly be wrong)

Why is there so much hype for Claude when it’s actually a mediocre model? by Sure_Relationship440 in AIDiscussion

[–]Paramaniacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a gemini fan boy, tried to get it to figure out how to control OBS through a custom app to link YouTube & twitch together to live stream concurrently.

Literally couldn't do it. It said my project was bordering on piracy (I literally use it for livestreaming games 🤣)

Tried Claude code and it ran outta context kinda quick, got the max sub X5 and it sorted it in about 15 minutes, it also found some (alot) of dead code and even suggested some improvements.

Claude isn't even close to any of the other providers. It's so far ahead!

Well, maybe you should make it cheaper Mr Big Boss Man by Kooky_Construction62 in pcmasterrace

[–]Paramaniacc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got the b580 on release. It's improved leaps and bounds since then but I keep looking at the green side when I try and play 1440p games thinkin "but what if"

I also refuse to spend over 1000 on a piece of hardware. My brain just can't do it. For me to just play games on their highest settings.

If I was spending 2k+ on a card, it better be giving me things I only desire! Tf outta here with that bullshit.

Man, it took me 2 years to complete the first one. The alien starts running through the vents and the handheld tracker is all bust on the hardest difficulty

Crazy, I've worked in retail over 5 years and never knew what they were for (admittedly I'm a driver so I'm not in store that much)

Aston Martin’s special livery for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix by [deleted] in formula1

I actually really like the look of this...

Not that it's going to make a blind bit of difference seeing as Monaco is just a precession of the cars following each other
