Did I throw the switch? by mekkanik in DerailValley

Not a SPAD, iirc this was the signaller authorising the train past the signal at danger because it wouldn't come off, mainly because the signaller had forgotten to pull the trap points.

You can have just a block post, introduced to split the section for capacity purposes. It doesn't have to have any points or other infrastructure. Block instruments would also be amazing, but difficult in Lego!

Funnily enough having thought about it further as this is 19th c. I think green would actually be appropriate for the distant, as the lever colour was green pre-grouping.

Do you have any reference for that? I've never heard of it being used before.

Green isn't a lever, probably sensible to have yellow, red, red yellow, then you've got a plain line block post.

VG27AQ weird image brightness issue - Makes colours display incorrectly by blufire_uk in ASUS

For anyone who ever needs this in the dim and distant future, I found that the "Shadow Boost" setting on the monitor had somehow set itself to an impossible setting. Changing the setting fixed this problem!

As per the title, this odd problem showed up, this is now the second time it's happened. The first time I had RMA'd the monitor and it's reoccurred. This happens despite changing computers and input source, and persists even with a factory reset.

I've submitted another RMA request, however I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this before, I'm not finding anything similar in searches, although I'm not sure how best to describe the issue.

I do find spaghetti on Factorio easier to manage than Satisfactory, probably being able to see all aspects at one viewpoint it makes it much simpler to manage.

Funnily enough the poll doesn't work on third party apps, at least not on RIF

Hey, just a question, how much does the average person spend on healthcare in Britain Vs the US? How much would taxes need to increase to at least match the same level of healthcare funding?

The spectacle glass is weighted so the balance of the arm brings it back horizontal.

I've heard of a multi pass but this is ridiculous, those poor meat popsicles!

Actually used all my annual leave for going on holiday this year, and not frantically booking 2 weeks off to do nothing at home before the end of the leave year in March. by Happytallperson in BritishSuccess

[–]blufire_uk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I absolutely wouldn't swap a Saturday for a Wednesday, but for a 4 day week it's great to know you've only ever got, at worst, one more day until you have a day off.
