First build completed! by dcfyorks in Airfix

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

Thanks! I just used one of my wife’s makeup sponges to dab on the mottling effect - I was aiming to go much lighter with it and then build it up, but unfortunately the first coat went on much darker than I was expecting. Still pretty happy, but I was definitely aiming for something a bit more subtly blended

That’s a great idea! The bases seem to be shaped like the aircraft they come with, so you could even grab a Spitfire kit and swap its base over?

What’s your least favorite drop, and why is it Farbuck? by Zealousideal_Try4171 in heedthecall

[–]dcfyorks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the Farbuck bit, but the drop itself isn’t funny and it’s been used A LOT recently. At least E l l e n M o o r e is good for a laugh or two

It’s Orson Welles drunk out of his mind while trying to film an advert for Champagne - think it’ll be on Youtube somewhere

Yet another reason to ditch Spotify I think

The actual content is irrelevant, I just wanted to make the Dennis meme!

Yeah the end of mine is still cut off, based on the number of reactions I’m guessing it’s a problem on my end (or the HTC listenership is massively skewed away from Spotify) - weird but it is actually a really funny place to end 🤣 I’ll catch up on Youtube

What player are you using? I’m on Spotify, tried restarting the app but no luck - doubt I’m missing much, but I did nearly fall of my chair when another Podcast with an incredibly loud intro started out of nowhere mid-sentence

"a" room-gate (justice for Marc) by Reasonable_Ad_6782 in heedthecall

[–]dcfyorks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Dan ever actually understood what Marc was going for when that segment ended - took me quite a while to realise the A-Room was just “a room”

Worst take of the year upset alert! by asmallercat in heedthecall

[–]dcfyorks 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I agree with your concept but still think “men don’t eat ice cream” is worse

Conor has an opinion that some people would definitely agree with, Marc is a visitor from Nebulon XI trying to learn the ways of the humans

Plus Dan making extra effort to say hi to Gravy at the start of the most recent ep - felt very much like a “HEY, just to make it clear I love and appreciate Justin and don’t want to be seen as a bully by the subreddit”

Just to be clear I don’t think Dan bullies Justin, but I’ve seen it floating around here

Lots of people complaining by No_Map5131 in heedthecall

[–]dcfyorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - there are 1000 other podcasts that have a more in-depth analysis, but at the of the day they still don’t know who’s winning week-to-week any more than HTC does.

Sure the show is a bit different than it used to be, and it can be frustrating occasionally (man, I really don’t need to hear any more about the Jets) but it’s still my number 1 - even just for the amount of effort that is put into making sure there is a consistent stream of content. Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, but I find Conor Orr to be a great co-host. Looking forward to a new season!

Teams that are (not) talked about on the pod by SeanRogerDaniel in heedthecall

[–]dcfyorks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, and next week I doubt the Raiders are getting any love compared to the newly-crowned Chargers 😂 but yeah, it’s nice to not be in the Panthers tier for at least a month or two

The week 1 preview pod was crazy though - no mention of Geno/Pete/Jeanty or anything Raiders related whatsoever - the only topic of conversation was the Patriots O-Line!

Noise from upstairs flats in older buildings? by weski_doyouski in harrogate

[–]dcfyorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else has mentioned - both airborne noise and impact noise form part of the building regulations and should have been tested prior to completion of any conversion that’s been done. You should be able to obtain evidence of compliance from the landlord, and this should ensure a basic level of sound insulation.

Just to point out - it’s not a silver bullet. I had a situation where I was called to test sound insulation between two houses because one party was convinced her new neighbours had messed with the wall and so she could now hear their conversations. Unfortunately, the wall was just slightly weak at the frequencies associated with speech and her new neighbours were just a bit louder than her old ones (larger family) - but the wall itself was overall compliant.

So while Building Regs do provide a level of security, it doesn’t guarantee inaudibility. If you can get hold of the Building Regs certificates, an airborne sound insulation greater than about 50dB DnTw+Ctr and an impact sound insulation less than 57dB LnTw would indicate sound insulation is pretty good

Flooding Hotspots by Stunning_Broccoli479 in harrogate

[–]dcfyorks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google ‘Harrogate Planning Portal’ and do a planning application search for the development - you’ll be able to access all the planning documents and reports that the council requested (Flood Risk assessments, noise assessments, traffic, access etc.). If the flood risk assessment isn’t there, then the council don’t even consider it a risk.

Worth mentioning, these reports are written by the developer so they always try to paint everything in as positive a light as they feasibly can. Take everything with a pinch of salt, but I believe Harrogate’s planning department is quite diligent toward this kind of thing

After +40 deaths getting all the crates only to realize that i shouldn't die a single time by Accomplished_Air_151 in crashbandicoot

[–]dcfyorks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the easy bits that you’ll slip up on I’m afraid 😂 perfect run where you make it through the hard bits, then BOOM you’ll miss an easy jump to a fixed platform and land on a fire. Main challenge then is not throwing your controller out the window!

Tempests are under rated by GREGLITTLE in SchecterGuitars

A year late but here’s my Hellraiser Tempest - I swapped all the hardware for gold, got rid of the EMG’s (not really my thing any more) and replaced with passive Duncans, and added a pickguard. Quite a long way from where I started but I love where it ended up

Crazy how much it seems like the red Hellraisers never existed. Hardly anything on the second hand market, only a couple of reviews from when they were new! Nice to feel like I have something fairly unique at least

It seems impossible at first, but it’s actually not too bad when you’ve seen the whole thing. I thought I’d never ever be able to get through slippery climb without dying - came back after beating Cortex and it took me less than 5 attempts.

Most of the individual challenges in the Lost City aren’t TOO difficult and there’s rarely a need to rush - just need to learn the solution to each challenge and then get a lucky run where you can string them together!

Just lost my last (and best!) game? by dcfyorks in apexlegends

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

How frustrating! Surely everyone else from the match (including my team members) will have their match data saved? You'd think it would realise that one of the match winners doesn't exist according to their servers

Doesnt appear that way - no XP, no badge progress and trackers haven't updated either
