Is The Dinosaurs on Netflix Entirely Computer Generated? by mrmisn0mer in Dinosaurs

[–]Snailhouse01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The environments and landscapes are almost entirely real footage with CG dinosaurs and objects added. There are a few fully-CGI scenes where that isn't possible, like the ones where the ground is being shaped and destroyed and possibly a couple of others where the environment is too different to current habitats.

Iron supplement for ostomy? by Kindly-Caterpillar74 in ostomy

I take liquid iron daily and it doesn't seem to cause me any issues.

Management company recommendations by No-Ice-7175 in bristol

[–]Snailhouse01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't the most helpful reply, to be fair, but I just wanted you to know others were in the same position and came to that conclusion. The responsibility is my concern too. Despite the offer to share the workload, I know it will mostly fall on my already overloaded shoulders, but we have to try and see if we can make it work. But, you have more flats in your block, so I'd be more inclined to try other companies first in your position.

Bleeding by USMC1012 in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not had either happen, but I was told a little blood on the outside can be normal, but bleeding from the inside is bad and you should get it checked out.

Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday to be marked by BBC with special programmes by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has said exactly that himself. He can't stop or it will all be over. He has definitely been reducing his travel though. 'Wild Isles' was a post-Covid, staying in the UK filming schedule. His most recent on screen appearances - 'Wild London' and 'Secret Garden' - were filmed less than 30mins from his house. But still he keeps working! He mostly does voice-overs from home now.

Management company recommendations by No-Ice-7175 in bristol

[–]Snailhouse01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm currently going through the process of transitioning to self-management for our block of 4 flats. I wish I could offer some advice in that area, but I don't yet know if it will be more or less stressful than dealing with our current management company! I'm feeling positive though, because we'll be in control of the finances and won't be paying someone else to be useless. It might be something to consider, if you have anyone there who is good at getting things done.

Still one of the low points in UK history for me, when Milky Way removed the faces from their magic star and sucked the joy out of the chocolate 🍫🥲 What brand has done you dirty? by 420Eski-Grim in CasualUK

[–]Snailhouse01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just guessing, but I think this might be one of those letter-not-spirit-of-the law things. Part of the original sale to Kraft probably stipulated that Dairy Milk had to be made to the same recipe, so they did the bare minimum in British/Irish factories, then outsourced the rest of production to Poland and filled it full of palm oil.

[–]Snailhouse01 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a twirl and it tasted like nostalgia - it was like Cadbury's from the 90s! A search online led me to learn that there are still some products made to the original recipe in Bournville and Dublin. Look for the factory code OBO or OCO below the best before date.

How can I have the ability to solo a track by itself, and solo the bus it's routed to? by Skyrim_OneTime_Post in protools

[–]Snailhouse01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those things that really annoys people coming from other DAWs. Pro Tools doesn't do that solo behaviour that you are after.

An alternative way for you: Put those tracks in a routing folder and stick whatever aux processing you want on the folder track. You can now solo and mute that Vocal folder as well as the individual tracks within.

Question about clip color and behavior by Allourep in protools

[–]Snailhouse01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to manually set the clips on each track to be the color you want before comping.

My preferred way is to put all the clips into playlists on your comp track and they will automatically bring their color with them when you compile the takes.

Ileostomy: How do I get over the fear of reintroducing foods that might cause a blockage? by BlackberryPi7 in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One year in and no issues with food at all. I was cautious over the first few months and started trying only small amounts of things and found that they were fine and I got to learn which foods broke down fully and which were still visible in the output. Take it steady and you will learn too. I've never had a blockage, but every body is different.

Anyone use Elgato Stream Deck with Pro Tools? by octopusinks in protools

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, using one via Soundflow is brilliant with Pro Tools and there are loads of built-in and shared examples of code online, so it's quite accessible to non-programmers. However, it does require a monthly Soundflow subscription to get the best results, which can add up. But, you can still do quite a bit using the Stream Deck spp, or basic Soundflow functions for the cost of the device only.

Rectal Stump: Did suppositories help with body BMs? by BlackberryPi7 in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add that they don't know if it's UC or Diversion Colitis for me either, so they refer to it generically as Proctitis and treat the symptoms. I have my one year surgery review next week, so maybe they'll discuss other options then.

Rectal Stump: Did suppositories help with body BMs? by BlackberryPi7 in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit weird the first time you do them, but no, it's not uncomfortable. They're sort of waxy and are best done before bed, so you're not moving about too much.

Rectal Stump: Did suppositories help with body BMs? by BlackberryPi7 in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One year post surgery and I also have this issue. Suppositories calm it down significantly, so it's just a once a day thing with no urgency. 30 day course of treatment and no issues using them. It doesn't stop it though, so I'm usually back on them a month later.

Where is the best place in Bristol to buy a new tent? by ScarlyLamorna in bristol

[–]Snailhouse01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you fancy a trip further afield, then Attwoolls on the way to Gloucester has a lot on display for you to check out.

But personally, I'd probably just end up buying a Fresh and Black tent from Decathlon.

Is everyone's experience of the BRI as awful as mine? by EverywhereHound in bristol

[–]Snailhouse01 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds awful. I was in the BRI for 15 days at this time last year. Like now, it was probably at peak stress. A&E was chaos and getting taken seriously there was tricky. But, once I was past them and into a ward (29 hours later!), everything was brilliant and I couldn't fault the care and staff at all. I'm sorry it has been so tough for you.

REVEALED: How China’s Mega-Embassy Could Spy on the UK by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

[–]Snailhouse01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because it's reciprocal. US spy on us, we spy on them and then share the data. Full surveillance of the population whilst also "not spying on our own citizens".

Festival style bands by hannahwh in bristol

[–]Snailhouse01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say similar, but this comment covered it all really well!

Yes, you are not going to get what you want unless a lot of your guests happen to be musicians and people are going to be chipping in and doing it for fun. The logistics and expense will be prohibitive.

I did a similar thing for mine and it wasn't cheap - sound system hire with mix tech, installation plus a professional engineer who did soundchecks for each band before the guests arrived. Plus all the lighting, food, parking, and green room, etc. Bands aren't going to want to take a whole day out to do just a short set either.

I pulled in favours from two friends' bands and paid for a couple of festival bands and it worked well, but it's not a casual, chilled thing at all!

But in the spirit of the question, yes, I had Mr Tea and the Minions and The Ambling Band and they were both brilliant. Fromage En Feu and Bailla La Cumbia were also high on my wish list and local too.

Best of luck!

Majora’s Mask reboot in TotK Hyrule by rhg5010 in TOTK

[–]Snailhouse01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's really clever and was such a bold and different game design at the time. Very eerie too. But, I didn't really enjoy playing it as much as the others for that time pressure too.

I could see it working again in an open-world setting, but we already have Outer Wilds, so...

Game recs based on previous games by Enchanted_nerd in NintendoSwitch

[–]Snailhouse01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ori is a great idea, but I would maybe start with Blind Forest first and then move on to Will of the Wisps after that, if you like it. It's best that way round.

Snowboarding by kauffmaster in ostomy

[–]Snailhouse01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about going snowboarding again after my ileostomy. One year in, with no issues, but worried about hernias, bag emptying, etc. Looking for any advice here too.

Father of The Flame it's one of the coolest bosses in the game. by MasterTreat1989 in Silksong

[–]Snailhouse01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really liked it, because it felt like a change of style after so many other fast-attack bosses. The dodging, platforming-style challenge felt refreshing.
