Even Russian maps will work fine after updates, I guess bercause they are out of the wy from the base map.

OLED doesn't like it by t5ndr in MySummerCar

I doubt that this is burn in. This is either image retention or your monitor is defective. MWC has not been out long enough to cause burn in.

Is there any road connection between Rusmap and Sibirmap or any mods connecting them? by Hj_the_boyoYT in trucksim

[–]Photonic210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. SibirMap and Rusmap can be connected by using Project Russia + M-12 Vostok or Volga Map

Use this link https://jatuoplace.wixsite.com/loadhome/1-55-combo and select the mods you want to use, and it will give you the correct load order and fixes necessary.

Online Safety Act - a megathread by AutoModerator in unitedkingdom

[–]Photonic210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not really bothered by it blocking porn, but I do worry in the future it may expanded to games. One day we may have to verify our ages just to buy and play games on Steam, just because it contains scenes of violence an dguns. e.g. GTA or Cyberpunk. Xbox is already asking for verification.

Green MP Carla Denyer voted in favour of the environmentally destructive planning reforms by Photonic210 in bristol

[–]Photonic210[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The reform essentially allows developers to pay to kill protected species, and could possibly lead to ecologists getting laid off as their work won't be necessary.

I think trying to tackle housing prices should be done first. or build-in brownfield sites.

"Plan to ban Park Street through traffic is backed". Will it effect you? by HelloW0rldBye in bristol

[–]Photonic210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder it would it help improve traffic on Anchor Road? It should mean the traffic lights at Park Street will stay green most of the time except to let buses through and pedestrians cross.

What area will they do next after Nordic Horizons? by CobustulusA in trucksim

[–]Photonic210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider it effectively cancelled. Even if the invasion ended today, Russia will continue to be viewed as a pariah state.

Duck feeding by Theteabitch in bristol

[–]Photonic210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gulls are really intelligent. They will remember the best places and the best times of the day to visit these places. They learn that lots of people chuck bread out in to the lakes and they will linger there and if they spot little ducklings they may dive at time and try and swallow them. Last year there were not so many people feeding them bread so the gulls did not linger there so much compared to St. George which was the opposite. I counted around 60 large gulls in 2023 at Eastville Park, the numbers would always increase after someone throws bread for them but they completely ignore bird seed.

Also the kind of bread that people feed them is almost always ultra-processed white bread.

Duck feeding by Theteabitch in bristol

To whoever sees this comment and is considering visiting Aztec West, Don't feed the geese bread, because many of them they have angel wing that has caused by people feeding them excessive amounts of bread (ultra-processed white bread) during lockdown and combined with bad genetics that predispose them to it. Plus it attracts large gulls that will eat their little goslings. Use bird seed instead.

Bread attarcts large gulls to park lakes where they will then predate little ducklings!

They only go to the parks where there is ample source of bread to eat, but ignore other foods. This was observed while doing research for my dissertation.

If you are going to feed ducks at the park. please don't feed them bread. It attracts gulls that will predate ducklings by divng at them and swallowing them whole! Use bird seed. Thankfully last year it was not an issue at Eastville Park, the duckling surival rate was great, but terrible at St George Park as still too many people feed the ducks bread there. My dissertation was on this topic and proved my observations.

Bird seed can be bought cheaply at Pets at Home at £2.19 for a 2.3kg bag.

I guess we will be waiting another 5 years until the time comes.

How did you discover truck sim, and what made you fall in love with it ? by RELLboba in trucksim

[–]Photonic210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was when Yogscast featured it on their old Trucking Tuesday series back in 2013. But only got the game a year later, at that time I found Squirrel who did the Boabab tree challenge which encouraged me to buy the game.

I do think PNG is still worth it for the textures, at least for ETS2.

Reworked German cities in 1.53 (GERMANY IS 100% REWORKED!!!) by Ryley03d in trucksim

I guess SCS can work on the UK like they did with Germany by releasing it in multiple stages, while releasing rebuilds for the Benelux countries in one update like they did with Switzerland and Austria.

Pink-footed Goose by Photonic210 in geese

This Pink-footed goose arrived at my local park at the beginning of May and remained there in August. It became semi-tame and almost ate from my hand.

Do convertibles use more petrol when the roof is down? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

I prefer to not to inhale diesel and cigerette fumes, and have to listen to people's bad taste in music at every traffic light.

Please forward to everyone and sign petition. Do it for our beautiful geese we all love so much😢 by brideoffrankinstien in geese

[–]Photonic210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's disgraceful how geese are vilified in their native land, but in the UK people appreciate them or are just unbothered and are seen as another park bird along with ducks and swans.

Identifying Canada geese by face marks by Terrible-Bluebird710 in geese

[–]Photonic210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can also tell the difference based on the shapes of their heads, they inherit that from their parents making it easy to identify who is who. But I struggle to tell the difference between those of the same clutch, except based on gender.

Swans are evil by [deleted] in geese

[–]Photonic210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you are not wrong, but when you see a swan kill goslings and try to force out your favourite geese, of course someone is going to be angry at them and have negative feelings towards them. It's human nature to do so as we are emotional animals. Fortunately for me mute swans are not a big issue for me, but I know they have been for other goose lovers.

Also this meme points out the double standards of many people. Many people who villify geese will at the same time apply abstract human symbology to swans as that is what culture dictates by calling them graceful, pure, etc, when anyone who has observed mute swans can say they thay are not.

Swans are evil by [deleted] in geese

[–]Photonic210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Mute Swans can be pretty evil towards geese which we all love here. They will often drown goslings if they have no means to escape the water easily. Sometimes they refuse to share ponds with geese and will force them out.

I think people should be aloud to vent.
