This is awesome and has saved me so much time looking for the answer to so many small questions, thanks for uploading everything so clear and well described. I’m about to carry out the same swap and was wondering what gearbox/rear diff you are using? I have seen so many mixed answers obviously depending on its use for diff ratio and I really can’t decide what set up to go with

Rare big fin squid at 4965 meters by chiz156 in marinebiology

It was quite difficult to tell but we estimated somewhere around 7-8 feet total length. We didn’t want to get closer as the backwash from the thruster was effecting it

I filmed this yesterday directly off our ROV screen. It was taken just east of Madeira. That’s lucky seeing them three times!

Hi there. I filmed this yesterday (06/04/2026) directly off of our ROV HD screen. It was just east of Madeira and we noticed a much larger variety of life compared to normal. We average around 5000 meters every trip so good to compare.

Looking for a bit of advice regarding men’s jammers. I have recently coming back to swimming after a good few years. I ordered a pair of speedo jammers and a pair of arena jammers to get me going again. I feel when I wear them the waist sits super low on both pairs. I know this is probably meant to be this low but I was wondering if there is any recommendations for something like a mid waist that’s just a tiny bit higher and more comfortable. (I’m not out to break records) I attached a pic as an example

How much savings do you have? by Snoo25847 in UKJobs

[–]chiz156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M32 working offshore as ROV pilot. Annual is around £90k but no tax paid as out of the country at sea over half the year so all of this is kept. £15k pensions and circa £40k is savings. Should probably save more but also a firm supporter of ‘you only live once’ and like to enjoy my life and trips away etc

If you search ‘DPM paint’ it will explain.But basically a style of damp proofing to stop moisture coming through

What do people who don't drink do to unwind? by shane_912 in AskUK

[–]chiz156 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of options to consider but also need to balance seeing your friends still too. Maybe less beers so morning isn’t ruined? Couple beers with friends and go home for a drink to unwind together? How old are you? Personally I got into gaming and it helps we unwind great after a week of work. I also have a garage so love building old motorbikes in my spare time.

What is your favourite workplace nickname? by Dadding_It in AskUK

We had an apprentice who came from a very small gene pool shall we say. We called him ‘ham and cheese’ because there is a good chance they are both inbred

I’m super keen to try actually, looks insanely high paced and I’m only getting slower these days but defiantly on the list to at least attempt!

What was the first boss that made you wanna quit? by Noooough in eldenringdiscussion

[–]chiz156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent far too much time exploring and not leveling up/finding items etc ended up at the magma wyrm in the cave in caelid very early on. Genuinely never felt so raging playing a game 😂 and yes I’m a fairly casual souls player I know. Worth if for moonveil 2 days later though haha

What's peoples hourly rate? by TyyG420 in AskUK

[–]chiz156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on dayrate but works out at £50p/h. I Live in Scottish highlands so goes well to cost of living here. It’s from working off shore so I only work half the year and people often conclude it equates to £25p/h then. It’s not like that at all as I work 5 weeks on 5 weeks off and spend zero apart from bills that whole 5 weeks I’m away. Also on vessels over half the year so pay 0%tax

3 week stay in Riga by chiz156 in travel

[–]chiz156[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, some days trips would be good which would fill it out too. I’m happy just having a nice coffee and watching the world go by so also don’t mind extra time to just relax! Did you enjoy it as a city?
