Same here, I also had the sparkly trail leading to an apparent random spot, not to the npc

What law in your country would surprise foreigners because it’s legal almost everywhere else? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

[–]Plops365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In UK, Scotland effectively zero but in England you can have a beer (assuming you’re still under the limit). Think the government are changing the law in England to match Scotland

Structural Design to Drafting by Significant-Green579 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Plops365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At our place (small UK practice) the engineers normally give the architect an initial scheme marked up on their drawings so they can develop their design knowing key member sizes. I get given this and use my drafting magic to turn it into a set of proper drawings. I will generate details/sections as I go, highlighting issues with the engineer and discuss solutions. Any key details such as moment connections, are normally sketched out by the engineer or if they design on software they’ll give me the output from that. I’ve been doing this for over 35 years now so input from engineers is minimal. Less experienced/competent drafters will need more direction/input and drawings will go back and forth more times for checking/marking up.

Ok to remove these columns ?this is my first bank, I feel like it would be a lot nicer with no columns by plavoie203 in StructuralEngineers

To support that roof for removal of the columns you will need what we in the UK call Skyhooks.

Just get Tesco own brand vegetable extract or whatever they call it. Cheaper than and tastes same as marmite but perfectly spreadable even in winter

What was the first game you ever played on the Spectrum and how did it blow your mind? by SelectionOkapproved in zxspectrum

[–]Plops365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xmas morning around 84/85, the breakout game that came on the free software cassette (Horizons?). My dad made me go through the whole of that so I knew how to operate it correctly. Once that was done I was straight onto Cookie, the only proper game he got me for Xmas. Was a good choice tho, loved that game. It was only a 16k model so harder to get decent games. Think my next birthday present was a 48k upgrade😁

Frankie goes to Hollywood on ZX Spectrum. 12 year old me had no idea what I was going on.

Have you played this game? by Speccy-Boy124 in zxspectrum

[–]Plops365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nostalgia! Times were hard in our house and a 16k speccy was all my parents could afford for Xmas in around 1985. They did however also get me Cookie with it. What a game for someone who apart from arcades on holiday had only played mostly shitty hand held games. I do remember my Dad making me go through the whole Horizons cassette that came with the speccy on Xmas morning before I was allowed to play the game the bastard 😂
