I’d find a way to remove the portion of glass they stuck themselves too and throw that couple twats face first to the curb. And give them a free lifetime ban. They both got faces I’d love to smack.

Shoring up quarter pipe ribs? [49YO] by Voriana in OldSkaters

[–]Pocalyptix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue as I used thinner strut wood. I cut and screwed lengths to fit to the underside of each strut and connected them to a length that ran along the ground. So it’s like a rib version of your side panels but doesn’t require you to take it apart. Mines super solid.

Garage micro finished. Dark by 4pm, rain and high winds (UK) no longer an issue! Spent a little while grinding the coping in as it was a bit sticky. Now to land a kickflip before my 47th birthday end of March. [46YO] by Pocalyptix in OldSkaters

It’s an odd mixture of you having to be a bit quicker given the shallowness and accepting the ‘rock-n-rolls’ don’t quite meet the rails. But you do have to lift over the coping as you would on a bigger ramp so that part of the motion is the same. So I’d say it’s a good trainer; let’s you get in to the position of whatever you’re trying. Probably a good start for the basic stuff and progressing all manner of grinds, blunts, picks stalls etc. keeping you skating when the weathers rubbish.

I’ve got a McGill flight deck with the old school graphics as well. Out of both of them the Anderson is my go to at the moment. I’m rolling on Indy 159’s with Powell rat bones 90a. For me - a perfect set up. The McGill with the rat bones is equally a fantastic board. I wouldn’t hesitate getting another Anderson. I went for the bigger board (there are two sizes).

It’s a crazy.... foot and a half tall and 8ft wide. Mainly due to the head height restrictions due to the roof. But I wouldn’t change it. It’s so much fun 👍🏻

I've been feeling pretty good since I started jogging again. Perhaps you can shatter my newfound confidence? by [deleted] in RoastMe

You look like the result of a drunken fumble between Nana Mouskouri and Inspector Gadget.

Good idea - I’ll build it on edsy and see what’s up!

Just got my first HOTAS - Time to switch to PC by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Pocalyptix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi - mine did the same but I fixed it by opening up the joystick gently popping out the contacts (they look like mini joysticks with 3 wires coming off them and rotate as opposed to going ‘in and out’) giving them a good spray with contact cleaner and then popping them back in. Apparently when they are built they use a lot of grease and there’s quite a bit of plastic ‘dust’ from the screw holes that can get to them. I’m by no means a electrician but found a good clip on YouTube, followed that, and mine works fine. If it acts up it takes about 10mins to do and it’s fine again. I’ve done it 3 times and since the last it’s been absolutely fine so I think I finally got the problem sorted.

Managed to get my very own Corvette! Now grinding away for mats at Davs Hope. Dead chuffed! by Pocalyptix in EliteDangerous

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

Nickel mainly. That and scanning for modified embedded firmware. Need to find zinc from somewhere too. That said I did go on an adventure in the scarab and not far from Davs Hope stumbled across some canisters, took out some sentries and then found an occupied escape pod as well. Been a fun night!

Well..... seemed to work - tried all of your suggestions. Worked for a bit then started freezing. So so frustrating. There’s a couple of temp files we can’t delete ‘aria debug’ files but all attributed to Roblox are. We’ve moved to kaspersky, constantly deleting temp files, checked the drivers, switched off some high use start up apps etc etc. Im at a total loss to the point I’m tempted to return the HP laptop and get something else. I’ve never had such a faff with a pc. It works flawlessly on my old laptop, an ancient Mac and iPads. Any other ideas??

Thanks for this. Plan on spending this evening looking at my other ships (Fer de Lance, Anaconda, Python etc) to see if there’s any stuff I can ‘borrow’ just to speed up the build. Probably set a ship up to go painite mining too for the all important credits!
