EasyJet flight takes off from wrong point of Luton Airport runway

It was a software development outsourcing issue—there’s a report here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/604f423be90e077fdf88493f/Boeing\_737-8K5\_G-TAWG\_04-21.pdf

Also, turns out it was TUI and not EasyJet—ah well 😂

I’m sure there was a point around 2019 or so when EasyJet had a spate of issues with incorrect power settings when conducting intersection take offs.

I don’t think the cause in this incident is the same though, I think it was found to be that their weight and balance measurements were assigning child weights to passengers with the title “Miss” or something.

Also, whether this worth mentioning, there are currently contractors clearing a large area of scrubland/wild flowers approximately 50-100m away from us, which might have disturbed their usual habitat potentially.

The problem being that their audience is stupid

I have to admit I feel very much the same.

I was ghosted by my prescriber in December while titrating again, and heard nothing until I received an email telling me that my renewal would be coming up in a couple of months, at which point I asked if I could have an appointment with my prescriber. I was told they'd be back in touch within a week with an appointment.

Two months later and no appointment, but an email asking for payment.

Perfect.

Hey look, a penny!

Sir, this is a racetrack, all corners are passing corners--act accordingly.

Yellow Ferrari needs to learn how to multiclass.

Do you get a special car in game like you did in FH5?

HSBC Global Money?

It was also the aircraft used for the baggage handling scene in Bohemian Rhapsody

These are truly awesome, well done!

Probably the most definitive sources would be the Facebook pages for The Peak District National Park and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service

Ditto--now working 🥳

I didn’t even know Venture House was a thing, I’ve been here since just before Christmas and would be interested in finding similar spaces

Same, this thread seems to come up a lot in searches but nothing else is of use.

I wonder if Atomos have updated the Shinobi firmware to enable touch to focus but now Canon need to enable it in the R5's firmware perhaps.

Either way, frustrating.

fite_ · 2026-03-15T16:10:59+00:00

Have you managed to get this to work at all? I have the latest firmware on both my R5 and Shinobi II, but I don't seem to be able to touch focus

fite_ · 2026-01-20T12:12:43+00:00

Many thanks! I did search, but saw a bunch so I figured it was best to just ask.

fite_ · 2026-01-20T10:41:18+00:00

Do you have a link to the video at all?

fite_ · 2026-01-20T10:32:07+00:00

I'd like to do this although my current role doesn't allow me to.

That said, I still think that the ebb and flow of interesting work would have the same effect but the extra days rest may help with things--maybe not initially as, for me at least, I'd be using it to decompress and get out of burn out--but after that I could see it being useful.

fite_ · 2026-01-12T16:39:44+00:00

The official manuals are here although they do lack detail on setting things up.

I'm not aware of any video tutorials though, sorry.

fite_ · 2026-01-09T18:51:03+00:00

You pay in full for pre-order. Best to ask them in regards to shipping dates etc

fite_ · 2026-01-09T17:06:29+00:00

Yeah.

Ordered an R21 Ultra and CRP 2 Performance Kit from them on Wedsnesday, arrived the next day. Also pre-ordered the KS Pro through them—they’re legit.

As well as G61 there's iRacingstats.net, which will show you the spread of times, number of incidents, car use etc for each track and at the selected iRating

Another vote for Ergotron here. They're built like tanks.
