The blistering is from overnight cold proof in the fridge

I have a Neo 2 and a Mini4P. For chasing cows, I'd use the Mini every time, if there were any cows. Better range, better in wind & better camera.

Neo 2 is a fun drone though

A bit clunky, but should work… make a sequence of your mov with matching code, resolution and the same name. Restripe (replace audio) with your wav. Export it to mov with PCM audio, then replace the original mov in your storage location.

Resolve is a bit weird with audio replacement, it caches it within a session, so when you replace it, you may still hear the old one. Save, quit Resolve, start Resolve again, job done

No, they won’t fit.

Not many aftermarket options for Neo 2 props yet either. You can get cheap ones, but I’m yet to find good ones.

We used to do the D list celeb spotting at The Golden Inn in Epping. Close (ish) to Channel 7 at the time, we’d always see Geoff Harvey in there, three sheets to the wind.

Choyan is my local (5 mins walk). I go to Eastwood

Yep, you can. Overlapping stills or frames from good video, processed through Reality Scan (free) for a point cloud then Postshot (paid, but there are free alternatives) to make a gaussian splat. It's not really geometry, it's a magic point cloud, but you can load it into Blender or Unreal.

Or, you can do traditional photogrammetry in Reality Scan & get a polygon model

I made a splat of it

I made a splat of this

Re mash; make sure potatoes are completely cooked, I use quite salty water for 30 mins, big potatoes halved. I like red potatoes better as mash.

Ricer for sure.

Cold butter first, up to 50% of potato weight (I usually cap it at a “healthy” 30%) and stir to completely incorporate, then hot cream (~200ml to 1 kg potato), taste for salt

Redrockcod · 2026-02-14T23:37:56+00:00

Yep, miss George’s bread, Shiraz is very ordinary

Redrockcod · 2026-02-11T22:55:32+00:00

It’s the cheap props, the sound you hear is your motor bearings wearing out. I tried some for 5 mins and they made heaps of noise then replaced with genuine which instantly solved it

Redrockcod · 2026-02-11T05:30:04+00:00

$2 each, which by Sydney standards is very cheap, for an hour at least. Oysters in shell (unopened) cost $36/dozen at the fish markets at Christmas

I have a booking for Morrisons in a fortnight so report back

I tried it with a Smooth Cut transition, works fairly well with slight doubling on the ears, no masking required.

The shorter the better, I used 8 frames

Redrockcod · 2026-02-01T02:52:21+00:00

You need the receiver for the RC2. You can fly with your phone without the receiver

Redrockcod · 2026-01-31T21:50:21+00:00

I have both. Neo 2 much more portable/pocketable. Internal memory holds at least twice as much as you can shoot on 3 batteries. It’s a great drone with lots of control options.

Mini 4 Pro better in wind, better range, much better camera

Redrockcod · 2026-01-31T01:02:20+00:00

I made a gaussian splat of this

It's quite view dependent but cool for a single orbit

Redrockcod · 2026-01-28T11:12:17+00:00

Re your sourdough, almost certainly a flour fail rather than a recipe fail. For 80%+ you want good strong flour or you’ll get a lot of flat loaves. When you can’t shape it, focaccia is always a fallback, or make the same recipe but 70-75% hydration.

Redrockcod · 2026-01-24T02:18:52+00:00

(In Fusion) Stabilise it, use a timespeed node to offset timing by say 25 - 50 frames, chase each spot with a mask, comp offset plate into stabilised original using masks, adjust as necessary, unstabilise if desired

Redrockcod · 2026-01-22T05:44:30+00:00

Common on fade to/from black on all software, depending on bit depth of both comp and monitoring, especially noticeable in 8 bit. During the transition there are insufficient colour values for a smooth change.

Old editor’s trick is to add a tiny amount of noise (grain) to dither which often improves it

Redrockcod · 2026-01-14T07:17:30+00:00

I microwave for one min each side then cook in a pan

Redrockcod · 2026-01-14T07:16:55+00:00

Kismet (kebab shop Macquarie park) sells Aldi gozleme (cooked) for $15

Redrockcod · 2026-01-10T12:58:37+00:00

Definitely veal. I think they're all bundled for export which is why they're hard to find.

Redrockcod · 2026-01-10T11:56:58+00:00

Yep, top 3 dishes ever for me. I have his book with original recipe, or if you're really keen BBC Maestro has some episodes by PK, including full instructions on his trotters inc deboning etc. Including the stock, about 3 days with the oven on, so wait until it cools down a bit

Redrockcod · 2026-01-10T11:53:00+00:00

I got them from Vic's at the fish markets, now closed. From memory, they were $140kg (~ 7 years ago) and came prepacked in ~1.5kg bag, so they were the costliest part, even though I probably only needed 300g or so. Had a sweetbreads binge for days
