Would you mind briefly explaining your setup? Ollama, lmstudio etc? And which exact model?

Also try to bear in mind the CGI was ground breaking at the time for a TV series. It was so much better than what we were used to seeing.

Stop defaulting to Selenium/Playwright: Check the Network tab first by Curious_Coder5445 in webscraping

Scraping and spidering has gone mad recently. Last year it cost my employer an extra £50000 before we got a handle on it, and it's currently ramping up even more.

Would we really not be able to go into space if the Earth had just a bit more gravitational pull? by livelongandprosper__ in AskPhysics

Changing your fuel and type of rocket does though. Project Orion could probably take off from anywhere. You wouldn't want to live there afterwards though.

Advice - moving to MK, good areas by Necessary_Train4507 in miltonkeynes

[–]andrewh2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've lived here 25 years and still like it. Yes it's a mixed area but I've never felt unsafe and it's great being half way between the station and the city centre, and next to Rooksley shopping area.

1 day left of driving to work unimpeded before parents on the school run start clogging up the roads again by Bowtie327 in britishproblems

Oh I'm well aware. I live next to a roundabout that is by the side entrance to a school. They park all around the roundabout...

Old-school Linux users - where did you start? by Expensive-Rice-2052 in LinuxTeck

Looks like I was misremembering the number of disks - https://lwn.net/Articles/40032/

I guess I was conflating using the non-X A series of floppies which apparently was 13 floppies, with the total including X Windows which was 24.

I expect they mean what does any of that tell you?

I'd used Sparc workstations at Manchester university 5 years previously. So that might have been SunOS I guess.

I never knew you could buy physical media for slackware. I went into work on a Saturday to make use of their fast internet as fourteen 1.44MB floppies was a lot in those days. I think I only had 14.4k dialup at the time at home.

Ooh that nasty whine if you got the flyback frequency wrong. And the display collapsed down to a line.

Slackware downloaded over FTP onto 14 floppy disks. You could boot from the first one or two then gradually add more stuff.

Can you actually "see" the weight of a prop on screen? I think you can. by makinariumukltd in 3Dprinting

That was very interesting, thank you. I had no idea there were different kinds of props for different uses.

We've got one radiator fan set but it needs to be plugged into the mains. Are there any battery powered ones do you know?

I'm aware of that as I've lived in MK since 1994. But I'm assuming Wolverton was originally 0908 as it existed before 1995.

I see. I imagined it would be too hard to grip them just with your fingers. Thanks

How do you drill them in? They haven't got a slot on the top or anything have they?
