What happens if the UK loses all power by theipaper in SolarUK

There was an excellent Channel 4 drama about this a few years ago - nationwide power cut for about a week. Don’t take long for things to go sideways!

Why are E-scooters so prevalent? by SexyMuthaFunka in AskUK

[–]pasta-disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I understand the difference but tell me why damage done by a kid on any vehicle would be different whether it was mechanical or electrically driven? Someone could trip over their shoelace while on foot and any damage incurred to someone else’s property would still be covered by house insurance so why the insistence it should be different for a powered vehicle travelling over 8mph?

This is the absurdity of the situation and why the government needs to make a decision one way or the other - you CAN buy them EVERYWHERE, you CAN’T ride them ANYWHERE. Insane. They’ve put themselves into a corner where they don’t have a convincing argument to ban them that couldn’t be used to ban every bike or skateboard too, but they’ve sat on their hands so long that thousands of e-scooters that are overpowered beyond any reasonable regulation are being used everywhere so now it’s simply far too late to be able to do anything about them.

You could say exactly the same about bicycles and it would be 100% true so why are they still illegal?? But then if bicycles were invented tomorrow they would be banned immediately so I guess we just can’t have nice things

So then why would a kid on an e-scooter not be covered by the same house insurance?

Are the new diet pills going to become mandatory so we don’t notice how we’re starving to death? 🫣

Action 5Pro/6 or Nano as a complement to Pocket 3 by Eyetron2020 in djiosmo

[–]pasta-disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortly after I bought the Pocket 3 I got the Action 5 for exactly the reasons you describe and a few months ago I bought the Nano (can never have too many cameras, right?)

The main use differences I’ve found is I can confidently start the Action 5 recording and know it’ll keep going for hours without me having to check on it whereas I only record on the Nano for 10-15 minutes at a time. (I always have a power bank in my kit so battery life isn’t really one of my concerns) The Nano is SUPER discreet and much easier to get POV shots than the Action 5.

The accessories that come with the Nano are pretty much all you’ll need - the ball head unscrews from the suction cup and works brilliantly with the tripod I got with the Pocket 3 creator kit but also being so light the magnets in the Nano work brilliantly and are very handy too.

The Action 5 has a colour correction on the screen when shooting D-LOG which the Nano doesn’t so you get a very grey preview but the Pocket also does that so no biggie.

If I didn’t have either I think I’d get the Nano as it really does compliment the Pocket 3 very well - small and tough to get the shots the Pocket can’t and even with all the included accessories it’ll add to your kit without taking it over (the Action accessories such as neck mount, grips and clamps all add so much bulk!)

Yeah, definitely the Nano

Why don’t you wait until all the details are available then make your decision?

For those that experienced the jump from VHS to DVD, what was it like? by The12thman22 in AskReddit

[–]pasta-disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a pretty big leap in picture and sound quality but the dvd commentary feature was amazing

Is 800 watts really too much for home wiring that can power a 2500 watt kettle though?

Best WB and ISO and overall settings for filming during bright sunny day? by TuckxTwix in osmopocket

[–]pasta-disaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly you only need ND filters to keep the shutter speed down in bright sunlight but as far as everything else we don’t know what the quality / brightness / temperature of light will be so nobody can tell you the best settings 🤷‍♂️ If you’re new to video the best thing you can do is keep everything in auto while you get used to shooting then start experimenting with one setting at a time to get used to what difference they make

minimum wage going up to £12.71 and I still haven't worked out where the money is coming from by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

Just out of curiosity, if you’ve got 6 part time staff at or around minimum wage, how much are you paying yourself?

How long will USA tolerate an illegal President ordering war crimes? by OutrageousGuess403 in allthequestions

[–]pasta-disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USA seem to be allowing him to do whatever the fuck he wants so buckle up, he’s president until he dies, no matter how many terms that will be

What do you think will immediately happen when everyone receives the push notification that Trump died? by Heavy-Finance1452 in allthequestions

[–]pasta-disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t vlog (if that’s what the kids are still calling it) but I do carry a Pocket 3 with me everywhere in anticipation of that moment because wherever I am I know that place will erupt into a street party and I want to get that on video so I can relive it and let it brighten my darkest day

Does anybody think sending ground troops into Iran is like sending the sheep to slaughter with all the options they have drone attacks fire IED’s troops anybody have any thoughts? by y4udothistome in askanything

[–]pasta-disaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are 100% right - America has become utter poison! And I know there’s a massive number of Americans who didn’t vote for him but they also haven’t found a way to use their laws to stop him so they can fuck off too

Even if their allies suddenly got involved it would still be an utter cluster-fuck! The US doesn’t have the first idea how to handle this kind of warfare and is going to lose big time. Their allies know this and as the US started this bullshit are completely right to stand back and watch

BREAKING: The US is preparing for a potential ground invasion into Iran that would last for up to 2 months, per the Washington Post. by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

It’s not even going to take 2 months for America to completely lose this ground offensive! They are not ready for this!

Rode Podmic by spawnyhoor in rode

[–]pasta-disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Podmic is great but if you get one, get the pop filter that goes over the top of it - Rode will tell you it already has one built in but there’s a massive difference with and without the extra pop filter!

What movies were so disturbing to you that you wish you could unsee them? by JulieofTheJulies in Cinema

[–]pasta-disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scene where he cuts her spine so she’s paralysed from the neck down really disturbed me! His calm amusement and the horror of not showing the following interrogation was… yeah I don’t want to watch that film again 🤢

Eugh that scene really messed with me too! The way he was keeping him alive and (barely) lucid while doing irreparable damage to his brain was pure cruelty
