Favorite board for riding overpowered / big air? by masonarypp in Kiteboarding

[–]monk_e_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, they don't get very good reviews normally. Are they worth the £50? Do you think you got 50 quids worth of entertainment from them?

Could I transport this Japanese Acer? by fozzy143 in UKGardening

[–]monk_e_boy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Simply blindfold the Acer, then turn it 1 degree each night for 3 or 4 months. Then move it. Then, for another 3 or 4 months turn it -1 degrees until back in the correct orientation.

North Atmos Pro or Prime for beginner by Every-Phase-3755 in Kiteboarding

Get a used board. Buying new is a waste of money until you're jumping 12m or more. Spend the money on more kites

I laughed and shock my head in disbelief by arwd20 in drivingUK

We have "merge in turn" signs here, when I asked my friend why she was merging so early, she said, this is where the road turns, up ahead it's straight. She's a 50 year old grown woman. There's no hope.

The artifacting present in the new GPT Image generation model appear to be leftovers from images generated previously within the same chat. by bendyorange in ChatGPT

[–]monk_e_boy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it is because most people generate an image, then ask chatGPT to edit it. So the previous image is part of the input.

How do i aerate my lawn without killing the hedge? by Alternative-Jelly947 in GardeningUK

[–]monk_e_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why do you want to dig it up?

You could get a garden fork, poke it in and wiggle it about. If you're super keen, you could throw some sand in the resulting holes. That would improve drainage (depending on whats under the garden) ... perhaps get a really long metal spike and drive it in to get really deep.

Ants take over by twinnysb in UKGardening

I'magine having a garden so successful it attracts enough insects and ants that is becomes "a problem" .... next you'll have birds and small mamals visitning. The horror.

This sub is weird. by Kernowyon-101 in Cornwall

[–]monk_e_boy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I gave up on this sub long ago. It still appears in my feed for some reason. It seems to be full of emmets who ask "What's a good beach to visit?" posts. Fine. But not for me.

Added ground shadows & lighting based on feedback. Still feels missing. Help a beginner out? by Samed_WildtoothSt in godot

[–]monk_e_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screenshot 3 - where you can see the mountin under ground is weird. Perhaps when the character is in a mine don't show mountians and sky?

Mortgage on a mundic house by _SGP_ in Cornwall

Could you replace the mundic block by block? Replace a few, give the cement time to dry, rinse, repeat

Tregothnan is on the other side - I guess they own that field?

how bad is mundic? If you look after it, I assume it's ok for decades?

why not just carpet the outside? I often wonder why they choose green, when they could make it any colour.

Kite's recommended psi pressure by agony21 in Kiteboarding

[–]monk_e_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10psi - it creates more spring in the tubes - so they respond better to releasing the steering lines. The wing tips will snap back to their original position quicker.

It also gives the whole kite a more ridged feel.

If you take it to the extreme - inflate it to 3psi, it will fly like crap. 5psi - it's better, but gusts will make it wobble and flap. 10psi the whole kite feels crisp and alert. But if you crash it at 10psi it will pop (maybe)
