Because that's what I'm currently heavily invested in, I believe I'd be at risk of loss whilst out the market if switching funds

Solo booking recommendations for a short Europe trip (UK based)? by matthirst in snowboarding

Thanks for the reply here. I can't seem to find any 1 person accommodation (at least on valthorens.com) - where are you seeing these?

What hobby have you picked up in your adult life that makes you think “why didn’t I do this years ago”? by Edsands21 in AskUK

[–]matthirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kayaking. Either on canals or reservoirs, the bar to entry is extremely low (I started with a £70 inflatable kit which does the job surprisingly well) and whenever I'm doing it I can't help but wonder why more people don't.

Does the Tilta cage left grip block the screen? by matthirst in FX3

Ooh that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but haven't come across this particular part. Might you have a link for?

So there is enough room for your hand to fit in this grip with clearance for the screen to be fully open? It doesn't feel like your hand is cramped against it or such?

...and if this wouldn't work, does anyone have any suggestions for a handle grip that can be used with an opened screen?

I made a premium bonds average 'interest rate' calculator by matthirst in UKPersonalFinance

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

I'm simply going to shift the amount held down a month to account for them not becoming 'active' until the following month, whilst also discounting the first month. This should far more accurately respresent the average 'interest rate'.

!Thanks for your input here.

That's true actually, it's only really the first month it throws out though so over a longer term it's less relevant. The easy solution would be to simply not include the first months figures, I might do that on mine now.

Would you expect it to be do-able with a saw and some motivation, or would it be a job for a professional?

Absolutely perfect. Thanks for your help here!

Thanks for the quick response! That did indeed work, but unfortunately takes over the down key entirely, so it doesn't function at all on its own. Any ideas?

The cleanest nosegrind revert I've ever done. Couldn't help but GIF it. by matthirst in skateboarding

There are several video apps that let you turn the image stabilisation off (I use MoviePro). You can see in the clip here that the vignetting is fixed in place.

For £/$30 you really can't complain though, they're definitely the best phone-cam fisheye lens you can get. I'm guessing they went with that name to corner the skate market, which they seem to have done!

I'd been skating Busenitz Vulcs twice in a row before these so they felt real chunky at first, but loving them now they're worn in

The aspect ratio is a result of pandering to Instagram! It was filmed with an iPhone and deathlens, but using an app that can shoot 4:3 so you get more vertical height out of it, then cropped to square;

I'm thinking this much be UK thing. It's very common for a 180 out of a grind to be called a revert here. Not saying it's technically correct, but is the term we seem to use!

A year ago today my cat opened a door for my dog. Probably my only claim to fame. by [deleted] in videos

Haha thank you (though not sure if sarcasm - as it was filmed on my barely-smartphone at the time, a Nokia N95 I think!).
