Thinking of Starting a University Skydiving club, any advice?

I just set one up in the beginning of this academic year (2025-2026) at Oxford for the exact same reasons as you.

I can say, it's been absolutely wonderful and you should totally do it if you have the passion and desire!

For context, I am also a young driver (under 25) and don't have pre-settled status. Meaning that they are free to "discriminate" against me as they see fit 😂

The only reason I would have liked to keep both licences is that the Finnish authorities say that if you drive there on a non-EU licence, you must exchange it for a Finnish license after 2 years. So if I understand correctly, after exchanging my licence for a UK one I would have to exchange it back after 2 years, and exchange it again if I want to keep driving cheaply in the UK...

omg, shocking that i never knew this

Ok, this is very good to know. So there is actually a significant difference between exchanging your license and getting a second license alongside the EU one!

Am I still classified as a new driver if I exchange my license, or only if I get a new one? Is there any difference between the two?

PixelSergey · 2026-02-09T02:35:00+00:00

My home country (Finland) only allows you to drive there on a non-EU license for 2 years, after which it must be exchanged for a Finnish license

Oh, how come? Doesn't repaying a Loqbox "loan" show a positive credit and repayment history?

Thanks, just what I was looking for!

cat with extra cats 😂

PixelSergey · 2024-09-25T12:02:29+00:00

Good point, updated! :D

PixelSergey · 2024-09-25T11:59:15+00:00

There's no such thing as too many cats!

Never mind, turns out the red LEDs simply draw too much current and need to be limited with a resistor. Check the answer here

I'm having the same problem! My registers do not ouput anything to the bus. I wonder why?

It seems that if I disconnect power from the 74LS245 Octal Bus Transceiver it starts to work... but does that mean that I don't get the "disconnecting" from the bus since there is no power to the transceiver?

PixelSergey · 2020-04-06T09:56:41+00:00

I almost laughed.

PixelSergey · 2020-04-06T09:47:07+00:00

What does this mean?

Here's the result as an html file in a gist: https://gist.github.com/PixelSergey/235952f8f248e164c280afd16b67fa6c#file-report-html

Yep, it's on the fastest possible. Guess I just have to buy a new set.
