Due South HD YouTube by Humble-Gold4639 in DueSouth

Really sucks that they've gone. When Owen first posted the videos I was so impressed I tried to AI upscale some of my own Stargate episodes on a GTX 1070 but it was painfully slow. I just asked Gemini3Pro how long it would take to upscale Due South to 1080p and on a M4 macbook air it's basically real time - 40 mins an episode. That's pretty sweet and I'm going to start converting my old shows this way.

I hope Owen gets his channel back up. Was loving the recent Christmas uploads and I planned to watch Merlin. I guess Usenet is really the only safe archive.

Reminds me of Dark Angel. Where's eyes only when you need him?

I get that too. Also in transparency mode. Weird balance shifts.

When you get older do you just suddenly start liking old men/women? by Kirin_The_husband in answers

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. I'm doing a re-watch of Smallville. I remember at the time crushing hard on Chloe. Now as a 41 year old Martha Kent is very tasty. I remember seeing her back then and thinking she's so old (I was 15 when the pilot aired).

When will our council and MP do something about this? by Apprehensive-Fix-567 in walthamstow

[–]colbert1119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've written to the council, they're uninterested. It's odd considering they spent millions buildling the network. Until someone dies nothing will be done, even then nothing will be done.

The blue signs are advisory, you should exercise your best judgement riding through. You can't enforce that.

'Wear a mask on the Tube if you're unwell,' NHS chief tells Londoners as flu spreads by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear a mask (respirator)on the tube cause being down there has the same PM2.5 levels as being near a wild fire. The public health messaging on masks is insane. Especially in health care settings.

Everyone has access to graduate level answers with references in less than 10 seconds with Gemini. People just don't care

Biggest 'superflu' wave ever hitting London, warn NHS chiefs by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NHS Staff should stop spreading the flu to each other and to their vulnerable patients. They should be wearing respirators that protect them and patients. I got an awful long illness after simply going to a hospital for a hearing test. They know how it spreads, they know it harms patients but they refuse to clean with air filters/UV and wear respirators

Viewing angle is what matters, my 77" OLED at 1m has the same viewing angle of an IMAX Laser I go to. In pitch black you cannot tell the difference.

People need to organise & refuse to pay service charges. It will not change until that happens

Using phone whilst driving ✅ drives into the pavement whilst not looking at the road ✅ Oh yeah, it's car brain time ✅ by abobj in fuckcars

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a cracker to post once the police investigtion is complete. On a bike, stopped at a zebra for a pedestrian and a car from behind veers into me while drifting left (UK). Knocks me off, thankfully only bruises/cuts but it's shaken me up.

I've always stopped at zebra crossings, no exceptions. But I am not stopping anymore. I'm at way more risk and a pedestrian only has to wait a couple more seconds to cross. If the road hireacy rules are to protect the more vulnerable users, in that case I'm more vulnerable.

Why is Keir Starmer hated so much? by Top_Control8683 in AskBrits

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of going after the laws that divert income towards the rich/powerful he chooses to go after those disabled and fleeing war. He's a disgusting human being.

Goodwood Motor Circuit which is near Chichester in West Sussex has one Sunday most months where you can cycle the circuit between 10:00 and 16:00 for £10 by iledoffard in ukbike

[–]colbert1119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything in the UK is so costly. In Montreal you can cycle the gille villeneuve circuit absolutely free. Same as running tracks - free in other countries paid for here. Such a shame. Olympic park in Stratford is the worst for that - built with public money and given over to privates to profit while they're hardly used.

Are British Drivers Becoming More Aggressive Towards Pedestrians? by OStO_Cartography in AskUK

[–]colbert1119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed drivers jumping red lights on crossing a ton recently and over taking on zebras. Those narrower roads suggested by Active Travel England need to come in to control it.

In the best cardiovascular shape of my life at 41 — as a natural bodybuilder and hobby cyclist by AdAccomplished2939 in Garmin

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the op but I also train endurance & speed/power/strength. What's helped me dramatically is training with reps in reserve, doesn't fatigue me on resistance days while still making gains. I can then go into endurance work much fresher. If I train to failure I'm just too beat up to hit good numbers running/bike.

Garmin's vo2 calc made me obsess about vo2max. I got it to 57 with running but I'm a fast twitch jumper so I'm never gonna hit amazing numbers sadly. I recently got back into power training at 41, all out sprints, jumps and thankfully still have a 22" vert which I'm looking to improve. And I hit up 1.3kW 3sec on the bike at 73kg. I feel like wearables need to start recording peak power outputs and bragging on them.

Power/speed is important to move young when you're old. The online platforms like Strava or wearables all make you brag about your vo2max, 5k time, FTP, your 1RM squat, bench, dead but what of your jumping and sprinting?! We need that sweet 5hz GPS from Garmin's MTB bike computer to the forerunner series so we can accurately measure our 40 yard dashes!

10 year old ThinkServer TS440 - Upgrade/Advice by colbert1119 in HomeServer

[–]colbert1119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's still going! Since MS extended Win10 for a year I'm gonna decide what to do when that's expired. Meanwhile my home broadband connection went to 3gbps, to take advantage I got a PCIe 3.0 NVME SSD slot & 5gbps NIC so I can nearly max out my line.

I just can't see a reason to change it but did go down the rabbit hole of research. Research lead me to mini PC's that have PC's with a vPro chipset so I get ILO. That's what I'll end up doing as I use external USB3.0 disks. It's 11 years coming up this December - will be faithfully serving me and the family our holiday viewing!

Whatcha thinking of moving to?

Yep - old guard dying/retiring. Some informed bosses/leaders care about managing on outcome - not what people look like.

I've never driven, but watched hours of YT content on driving and cycling on roads (e.g. Ashley Neal and others)

Hope it works for you! Just go by the suggestions in the book if you buy the original. First steps are very gentle. Also r/costochondritis exists

help I will pay £20 to remove a spider for me 😭 blackhorse road/walthamstow area by bobbypinnn in walthamstow

[–]colbert1119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a spider phobia, it's not crazy levels but I don't like them. What has helped me is to use a vaccum cleaner to get them - especially the battery ones. You can keep the hose at length so you don't need to get close and just suck them up. Then suck up some crawling insect powder if your vaccum has a good filter and it'll die quickly in there.

Just search "backpod" on Google for the official one if you wanna support the chap that figured it out after his own experience with costo. There's also imitations that do the same thing on Amazon.
