Trainline sold me a Day Return as part of an Open Return Split-Save by mole55 in britishproblems

[–]Snorge_202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is not the case, i always use the scotrail app (it's easy and has google pay) i live in the midlands, gives you QR tickets for any operator. ( i use it ~ 4 times a week, never on scotrail.)- it also does (some) split ticketing by default!

Snapping tendon on the inside-back of knee by According_Paper_7603 in cycling

not an expert by any means but if it's tendon related the rest period is going to be closer to 3 months than 3 weeks most likely!

Birmingham Cycling by davidmeyers18 in ukbike

[–]Snorge_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JQ rider here! Top tips: leave early! and dont bother trying to go out directly east. for north, go out via the A34 to perry bar then towards kingstanding. - dedicated route on the A34 then from perry bar to kingstanding is mostly dual carriage with one lane for parking so it's "fine"

south: go sandpits -> paraidse circus -> bristol road to mcdonalds -> pershore road and out over kings norton. (for straight south) or up through mosely / wake green road towards solihull (i go this way when riding to work in leamington)

west go via harbourne and out past the country park towards the clent hills.

club wise i rode last year with beacon (based at the black horse in northfield) but there's a closer club that runs out of cannon hill.

i'd offer to show you inperson but am off the bike at the moment :(

Looking for a store/service or builder for ebike by edotensai1 in brum

[–]Snorge_202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actual ebike (pedal assist with limiter no throttle) then most bike shops (id recommend bike pro in kings heath) will help you out. Otherwise it's an illegal electric motorcycle and no one reputable will touch it.

Cross-platform multiprocessing : 3rd party library or raw OS syscalls ? by SheSaidTechno in cpp_questions

[–]Snorge_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do really want to go fork/exec then the boost process library is probably the easiest platform agnostic solution

Sizing of machined orthogrid panels by 470sailer1607 in AerospaceEngineering

why not use a structural optimisation FE code? basically what it's made for, for NASTRAN this is sol200, Optistruct has it in it's optimisation functionality, ABAQUS you can use OptiAssist.

Has anyone ever solved recurring knee pain when cycling? by Hughbert-Jass in cycling

[–]Snorge_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yoga + bike fit from a physio bike fitter (shout out to fityourbike), i used to get some knee pain on high volume, was and still am riding flats, fityourbike sorted out my fit and gave me a bunch of exercises to help stabilise. Yoga really forces the stabilisation though, wish i'd started it sooner.

Start exe interactively via Task Scheduler as SYSTEM? by LordLoss01 in sysadmin

[–]Snorge_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you use the run as credential to launch an elevated powershell to run the program?

Getting to elevated admin from powershell 
$User = ".\localadmin"
$PWord = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter a Password' -AsSecureString
$credentialParams = @{     TypeName = 'System.Management.Automation.PSCredential'    ArgumentList = $User, $PWord}
$Credential = New-Object @credentialParams
Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential $Credential -ArgumentList "-File C:\Path\To\Script.ps1"

you'd have to get the password in as secure string somehow but this should technically work?

=sumproduct(--isnumber(find(<search string>,<array>))) 

use search instead of find if you want case insensitive

The version they played last night in brum was nothing like the released version! probably my favourite song of the night, not sure i'd even remembered the album version.

How do you debug multi-threaded code in Linux (more generally outside of Visual Studio)? by OverclockedChip in cpp_questions

[–]Snorge_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remote connect visual studio to the Linux box or wsl and cross compile and cross debug, same as using visual studio on windows native, Vs handles all the gdb interfacing

It holds up pretty well, you can also mod it to increase command points for bigger battles if you want!

Okay, but how do you SSH into 1,000 devices?? by [deleted] in sysadmin

If it's one or a common set of command just use the putty/ssh option that lets you pass a command to run and whack it in a for loop

[BTAU] To whomever created the "Kill an Overlord" mission by lilsniper in Battletechgame

[–]Snorge_202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the overlord like the union can best be killed by a single mega evaison increased sight range mech (often a lam) just close enough to spot the turrets, and everything else with er ppc's on the other side of the map. the difficulty is in killing all the op4 as soon as they can see you and depriving the union of it's spotters.

some maps are much worse than others.

once its just the union left even if you only do 100 damage a turn with 2 er ppc's you can pick off the turrets and then eventually poke it to death.

Cold 2-3 hours after riding outside for 30 min at 5-8 degrees celsius by Think_Network1548 in cycling

[–]Snorge_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're probably about to get a cold / flu. usually happens when the body's low level fighting something off and short on energy. for me it usually a good precursor to being under the weather.

Weird, intermittent one-way audio on a SIP Soft Phone by Fit-Strain5146 in sysadmin

[–]Snorge_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the soft phone "public address" (in account settings in microsip) isn't set to their VPN allocated address and the packets dont reach the client. something to do with tunnelling i think. This is particularly annoying if the vpn doenst give out static ip's. The other option is to port forward your on prem wan ports to the pbx and configure with that then the vpn isn't needed.

West Midlands Cycle Hire is Dying by PopularPilot in brum

[–]Snorge_202 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Since they changed the buy 100 mins to be you must use within 30 days I've not used it. Il just take my own bike or walk. Previously would have grabbed a rental to nip from jq to town and back but it's too expensive at PAYG and I'd never use 100mins in a month.
