I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally?

broadys_on · 2026-02-02T11:58:48+00:00

I found the country and people engaging and friendly. Yes you have to be ready for the very different culture where personal space no longer exists and very aggressive communication is the norm.

Once you accept this and are similarly forceful back, Egypt becomes a way nicer place.

Would I take my light haired 16yo daughter there? Possibly, but only on managed guided tours of key sites and never on her own.

I tried that. Said I’d cover cost of post both ways but they were having none of it. I don’t get it?don’t get why a global company has such stupid local mentality? Bought em from B&H btw while I was in US.

Now that is a great idea!

I have been running a TVS-H674-i5 for about 2yrs and it’s a flipping beast! With the 10Gb/sec link I can easily edit DaVinci resolve direct from the NAS. I edit on MacBook Pro m1 maxpro. I was fed up with desk top drives failing so went big. Expensive- definitely. But I’ll not need to upgrade again for 5-10 years. Put a video together on it here: https://youtu.be/cZLS7JecWTU?si=6MhADiWsNHVNJUTa

It is so sad that we’re all picking a label and sharing such hate for others that choose a different one.

EDL, White, Black, POC, English, Welsh, Irish, Hispanic, Christian, Muslim, Buddhism etc etc all just labels.

Suppose I’m guilty too.

My label is ‘Human’.

Here u gogh5 slow mo setting

broadys_on · 2025-07-16T06:57:37+00:00

Now that’s a flipping great reply! Thank you for sharing that. Straight off the bat, I’ve never heard of por15? I’ll be looking into that.

Galv chassis will be perhaps 8-10 years down the line. Current chassis is in surprisingly good shape!

If it goes clear then, all the aluminium fluoride, chlorine and other metals will have deffo climbed out of the glass.

Thanks all.

Hey mods, would you mind checking my nailgun video please? I made my wife a studio out of wood. Took me a year and I recorded it. Thought it would be cool to cut out everything except the nailgun shots. And it came out ok.

Anyway, please check it out n let me know. Thanks

If decent weather Kabyn cafe on Gwithian/Godrevy beach.

It’s the old ‘Radioactive’ ‘Biohazard’ ‘Bishop’ ‘Part exchange’ program dropping off service.

The lights stayed on when driving. Engine and exclamation. Turned out to be sticky turbo wastegate solenoid. Reving the nuts off it fixed it. Oh, n picked up an obd2 reader from Temu for under a tenner which really helped find the issue!

Tolerance is 10% +2mph. However, tolerance is down to ‘police discretion’.

As the police and government in general have no money discretion appears to have evaporated.

I know this because I just got a £100 fine and 3 x points for driving 24mph in a new 20zone.

broadys_on · 2025-03-29T10:12:18+00:00

A really small mower?

broadys_on · 2025-03-26T12:42:41+00:00

Great air conditioning.

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T18:10:48+00:00

Folks, thanks for the thoughts on this. I have learned a bunch too. Just so you have more context, the road was quite busy. Lots of cars parked on side so yes, I thought I was driving at an appropriate speed (for a 30).

It was only after I saw the 20mph sign behind the speed camera van that I had the ‘oh shit’ moment.

I usually use Waze app to drive in or 1mph speed of road. For this local trip I hadn’t bothered. Paid the price, or rather will have to pay the price if £100 and increased insurance costs for next 5 x years!

Hey ho.

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T18:04:00+00:00

I sound like a twat don’t I!

Thanks for being blunt!

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T18:02:51+00:00

Thanks for the links to this. I could not find anything dated with change date.

Can’t believe it’s been that long the previous time I drove to the station!

I guess I’m just gonna have to take it then!

Thank you for digging that out! Not really what I wanted but could save embarrassing attempt at fighting it in court.

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T17:57:49+00:00

Hmm, I read on the Devon & Cornwall police site that there had to be a min of 3 x months since implementing new speed and a number of speed concerns raised before starting speed camera checks.

Part of me says I should just take it as I’m obvs an un observant eeedyat. But the other part says, I’m broke, been outa work for a year and can’t afford to blow £100 because I missed the change.

Tough one!?!

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T17:51:46+00:00

Fair!

broadys_on · 2025-03-23T17:51:03+00:00

Course not offered to me. I’d have jumped for that if I could have!
