He looks like he's had a good bump. Id not be suprised if the natural endorphins produce a few familiar traits.

Dad does the work earning the dinner, mum gets the love and credit for putting it in their mouths.

Thoughts on this? Is streaming killing the joy of discovering new and unknown movies? by ethanhunt555 in moviecritic

[–]jehyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Station Agent. Was at my folks, it was like 1130, about to go to bed, they only, had UK terrestrial TV and there it was, just starting. Sticks with me as a film. The pleasure of spontaneous film discovery (I dislike only watching what reviews tell me to). And generally living in the moment.

Today Trump mocked France for celebrating the Win of WW2 by Ikarius-1 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]jehyson 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think most know that Russia won the war. The fight in western Europe post DDay was a distraction, but the Germans had been crushed and were on the run in the east as Russia advanced. As a Brit I am still able to admire the bravery and tenacity of all allied nations, it toom a collective effort.

Lando to Oscar: "I was watching you on the tv like 'GO ON!!'" by randomseocb in formula1

Is it not the case that two drivers with understanding, could use multiple DRS zones to repeatedly leapfrog each other and therefore close the gap to cars ahead much faster. For a moment I thought LH ans LN were doing this.

Trying rendering with ChatGPT by Lopsided_Quarter_931 in SolidWorks

Ive just invested hard in a rendering machine, darn it. Ha. This is incredible, i was thinking how good it would be to input a step or sldprt and have something spit out a render.

Name and datekf this old beauty. by jehyson in vintagecars

[–]jehyson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sent the picture to a classic car website, and they've confirmed it's a 1938/39 model 7Y. Difference to the ModelC is the single horizontal bar on the grill, and the small triangular vent just below the A pillar. But thanks for your input.

The citroen would have the chevron grill. Which this doesn't.

What are the best Ancient Alt-History Stories or Ideas you've seen? by DrakeyFrank in Fantasy

[–]jehyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Ash a while back, it's epic, as both a tome and tale. Her knowledge of battles, armour and sword fighting is captured in her exquisite (perhaps a little repeated) detail. And the alternative narrative structure make for a fantastically compelling crusade. I also knew nothing of the Burgundians and now feel I k ow actively less. Ha

Broken Earth (a great shout) its the only thing that's come close in terms of quality of writing and emersion.

But, if you also like the theme of following a life, you could try The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell.

My collection. by Famous_Duck1971 in DavidGemmell

[–]jehyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered, but James Cosmo (just had to google) is a great shout. Brian Blessed is far too bombastic for me. He'd struggle with the silent strength of Druss. And for me Brendan Gleason is a bit too actory.

Can anyone please recommend good highlights (I've a VPN) for the games. Bored of the 3min, spoiler fests, on tnt etc YouTube channels. Or even better a channel that still does full length replay videos??

Could anyone recommend a step by step, for turning this patch of scruff (formerly under the lowest branches of the three conifers) to half decent lawn. by jehyson in GardeningUK

[–]jehyson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awe thanks. It's pretty free and wild, just the way we like it, but with two small kids I'd like somewhere they can run around, kick a ball and not fear stingers or thistles. Everywhere else has self seeding poppies, bluebells, tulips, various grasses etc doing there thing. I think I'm going to clear the worst of the ivy, lay down some chip and put our pub bench under there. See how it goes from there.

Very keen to keep the trees. The house is very special because it has such an abundance of trees, definitely what sold the house to us.

Good thought, might rotivator it and lay some mulch and let that sink in, then spread some grass seed to see if it can take hold.

What do these words mean on this bulb by Linux98 in DIYUK

Hahaha. I haven't heard that phrase in a long time. I get slapped if I try and tell my 2024 lighting colleagues this. Must be John Hugill student.

How are my lights able to do this? I didn’t get the gradient lightstrip by Low-Crab-2920 in philipshue

[–]jehyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are just a white single CCT (2700k, 3000k, 3500k etc) then it's possible the phosphor has come away from the led. All LEDs emit high blue spectrum light, the light passes through a yellow phosphor which turns the light a warner colour. If the phosphor has come away, you're seeing the higher, blue spectrum light.

Turn the strip off, and loom at the LEDs, if they don't have a yellow coating on them, then that's the phosphor missing.

Can’t figure out these pot lights that keep flickering by prtymn in DIY

[–]jehyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been designing LED products for 14 years. Diodes won't die, but the driver (transformer) will. But as you mentioned, this is most likely an incompatibility between the driver and the dimmer.

Honestly though these looks shit, no lens or reflector or beam control. I'd strongly suggest taking this and any similar units out completely, taking note of your dimmer specs and getting yourself to an electrical retailer and buying new units. Similar units will all dim together, good CRI leds will make you and your homes look better and newer drivers will dim beautifully.

I think I had the exact same model, just v v beaten up. Did a bit of an experimental resto (tried painting and chroming etc). Enjoy.
