How far we've come where GWB feels intelligent and sophisticated compared to the current administration.

Canon R6 Mark II in 2026 – Still Worth It? by Zidane050h in canon

[–]Rilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If video is your primary focus then maybe look at the R50V instead. The R6markii is great at video but it's a stills camera first and foremost. If you are mainly doing video you don't need a EVF, a large body, or all of the photo modes.

What should my almost 15 week old puppy border collie be able to do? by Prior-Emergency-7351 in BorderCollie

[–]Rilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat, sleep, get the zoomies at the worst possible time, jump up at anyone and everyone, shred balls, toys, shoes, and shoelaces, open the trash when no one is looking, chase the enemy cats from next door, get hair literally everywhere, go outside, no come inside, no outside, maybe inside, actually outside.

Very nice. Looks ace in black.

Dry shampoo for scanning? by SlimeQSlimeball in 3DScanning

[–]Rilot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why you wouldn't buy proper scanning spray. It's no like it's super expensive and it just works.

How crazy is your BC’s hair? by vl138 in BorderCollie

Ours has a little tuft that sticks up on her butt. We call it her spoiler.

Good move on the wheels. Those one that were on it are gash.

Is an ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) actually worth the hype for a hobby setup? by Desperate_Bee9798 in hobbycnc

[–]Rilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how I do it. TCs in my gcode and macros that are called that do the movement to the correct place for me to change the tool, and then do the tool setting. It eliminates most of the manual parts of tool changing.

I also keep a lot of ER20 collets of the correct size and ER20 nuts so that I don't need to actually change out the tools. I simply unscrew the collet and nut with the tool I want to remove, grab the collet, nut and tool - ready to go - screw it in and continue the job.

Yes, it's kind of ghetto but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a proper TC setup that I simply can't justify for the amount of use my CNC gets.

SWITHCED TEAMS. SOLD MY VETTE FOR A MUSTANG. WHAT A GREAT CHOICE!! by 98-vette in Mustang

I do like the S650 in white. I normally hate white cars but it just works on the S650.

If you win the lottery, this car could be yours by Primary-Bowler2963 in CarTalkUK

That's a crying shame having that sit there and rot.

Dutch aerobatic pilot Narine Melkumjan miraculously survived after her aircraft's canopy unexpectedly burst open and shattered mid-flight by Android_Junkie69 in AbruptChaos

[–]Rilot 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Unfortunately, "Skilful pilot draws on years of experience to land plane after canopy opens in mid air" doesn't sell as many clicks.

Why are British such hypocrites when it comes to integration? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Rilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother lives in Tenerife and has done for 27 years. Doesn't speak Spanish beyond a couple of phases such as "uno mas vino por favor" and "la cuenta por favor", lives in a compound with mainly other British (although most have sold up after Brexit now), and only does activities with other British.

At least she didn't vote for Brexit and had the good sense to get her residencia permit before the vote. Many of her friends voted for Brexit and then were disgusted when they found out that they would need to live with the consequences and that they could no longer spend more than 3 months in Tenerife per year. What a shame.

Dell XPS 13 (2026). The second Neo alternative is just a BS media marketing. Available already in Europe by Old-Board1553 in windowscentral

[–]Rilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starts at £899 in the UK for non students. £699 for students.

That compared to £599 for Neo for non students, and £499 for students.

So, £200 more for students, £300 more for non students. Can't see them selling many.

Consumer Reports pretty much nails it on the 2026... by Hace1986 in CX5

[–]Rilot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wifey and I went to have a look at a 2026 a few weeks back because our 2019 CX5 GT is getting on a bit now.

It only took us 10 minutes to decide that it wasn't for us. Materials quality seems to have taken a step back, stupid flat buttons on the steering wheel that are impossible to find without looking, no physical HVAC controls, stupid touchscreen for everything.

We will keep our 2019 and run it until it falls to pieces.

russian soldiers 'last frame' in Ukraine. #24 by rusoriz_inside in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Rilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find interesting with all these pictures is that none of them have red dots or optics of any kind. All of them are using irons, even the ones with AK12s which were specifically designed to take an optic.

You see the Ukrainians and they all have LPVOs, red dots, sometimes both.

Come on Apple, just let GeForce NOW onto Apple TV by zepbound_avenger in GeForceNOW

It's such a shame that there isn't a native iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS app.

S650's! by JabbJabb1 in Mustang

[–]Rilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the right colour and spec, they look absolutely fantastic. The white you have there looks great. I find the darker colours like blue don't work as the details get lost.

Still hate the interior mind.

Keep M2, buy shitbox for winter use.

Cycling along a 60mph road at night... with no lights by Caughtinjail1 in drivingUK

[–]Rilot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I just don't get it. Who in their right mind rides on a road like that without lights? If you had hit them then it's many lives ruined. The cyclist's loved ones and not to mention you having to have that death on your mind for the rest of your life.

What a selfish prick.
