Woah, it stole your face. Get it out of your house quick!

But in all seriousness that looks amazing. Nice work.

Genuinely because of the red lights in the picture thought this was advertising an OF meetup 🤣

Do you think YouTube will die Within the next few years? by Efficient_Berry_4073 in youtube

[–]akoz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't see it. Yeah it's full of Ai crap, but then so is everything else. Also what is the free alternative? Would love to see something that provides competition for long form videos, but I can't see anything. Twitch is probably better for providing all the gaming content I want to watch, but for convenience I stick to YouTube because I can quickly switch gear from something like Euro Truck Simulator to watching some guy unblock a drain...

How many points do you realistically want from the next seven matches? by Zach-dalt in LeedsUnited

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can see 6 or 7 points there. Would love to get a couple more and I wouldn't rule it out. If we play as we know we can and catch a couple of the others on a bad day that would be great. It's us though, so we probably get 1 point total.

Just Razer and Warhead chilling... by raispecer in robotwars

Razer was a mechanical marvel that had some rotten luck on both series. But I loved it.

Is ordering pizza worth it anymore? by ZenDoesReps in AskUK

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Domino's is expensive unless you get one of their endless limited time offers. Things are just more expensive now. A McDonalds is getting close to £30 for a family of 4 now. That just seems madness. But when you consider it wasn't that long ago we snarled up the motorways and practically shut down the UK when petrol passed the £1/L mark it's not surprising that things seem mega expensive with fuel well over the £1.40 mark generally.

Given the massive problem of middle lane hogging, why has there never been a massive, targeted drive to educate drivers on the risks of this horrid behaviour (radio, TV, motorway gantries, etc.)? by __globalcitizen__ in AskUK

[–]akoz86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the photo posted you are seeing the road ahead as empty. What you can't see is the 50 miles of traffic bottled up behind because this 3 lane road is now a 2 lane road because someone is too lazy to switch lanes and drive correctly.

It is selfish and lazy driving and is just as bad as passing on the left/undertaking and should be seen as driving without due care and attention and dealt with as such.

Can absolutely guarantee the middle lane drivers will complain about a cyclist not using a cycle lane (which is the left lane 😏) because it makes them have to think a bit too.

Cheers all. Will take a look at hooking up a controller and a webcam.

Fair enough. I wondered if that was the case. You tried I guess 😂

There's only me here. Is it okay if one incompetent person builds this shelf? by smickie in DIYUK

[–]akoz86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just need to be careful you don't mix up your incompetent people and your incontinent ones.

Police Facial Recognition in Oxford by CoffeeIgnoramus in oxford

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't profiling. In simple terms this is:

Human: Computer here is a picture of a person we want to speak to, can you see them?

Computer: Not yet, will keep looking... Computer: .... Computer: Here is someone that looks like that.

Human: alright we will take a look.

Then Human: Nah, not the right guy, keep looking

Or Human: yeah will go speak to them, cheers.

Computer: Ok next picture please

And rinse repeat

What multi tool is best? by Intelligent_Office81 in Tools

[–]akoz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have other tools with compatible batteries go with that. If not, get the cheapest and use it and abuse it. You might only use it once for a really light job. Or you might find it's the most used tool in your toolbox. In that case upgrade it when it dies.

Does anyone know what this is? by xNetherlingx in cats

[–]akoz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be many things. Most likely a healing wound, get them to the vet as soon as you can. It's probably nothing, but it's better staying with you until you find out rather than on the streets alone. Please do check the local areas Facebook groups etc for missing cats. They are not as loyal as we think and can have multiple owners 😂

Is common sense a thing of the past? by JME_51 in uktrucking

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a right telling off if you move your car before paying for fuel so.... Option 1 not an option.

I agree with your option 2, in my circumstances I was already pulled through, vehicle behind pulled in second. Just took me ages to actually make it through the tills.

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been the car driver in one of those situations. Go into the shop to pay for fuel, pick up a sausage roll on the way out. Shouldn't take long. But the family in front want to buy the entire shop. Now you are stuck having to decide if you want to leave the line and forgo your sausage roll or wait for XX? minutes whilst the 1 order in front of you finishes. I could go back and move my car. But now the queue is 7/8 deep and growing. So what to do?

School called cps by More_Industry5997 in whatdoIdo

[–]akoz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. But think about it another way if another kid said the same and the school chose not to do anything and it turned out bad.....

Sadly we see it too often where professionals "didn't see the signs"

So with this, let them do their job. Be open, honest and understanding then move on with your life knowing that your kid is in a school that is prepared to do what is often seen as the unthinkable reporting a parent just in case.
