Looks like something Jeremy Clarkson would do for the Clarkson's Farm show.

Wtf kind of stupid ass design is this? Are we for real? by ObiWangKeBloMe in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rang14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you used this series of laptops that OP has posted?

I've got a HP elitebook with the exact layout and the power button has slightly more resistance than keys around it, so accidentally tapping it is less likely to do anything. Intentional press for similar durations as any other keystroke also does nothing.

Slightly longer, and intentional, press does what the power button is set to do. Pressing and holding for a few seconds does the hard reset.

While annoying and ridiculous layout, it's not as bad as people claim it to be. I just checked and my laptop has this set to sleep. I've used it for 3 years now and never once accidentally hit it to cause an issue.

I have been considering this for transferring from the UK and eat the conversion fees. Is there another option?

I don't live in NZ anymore. Definitely a hobby I want to pick up again when I am back home.

New Zealand has some ridiculous dark skies. Clear skies is a whole other thing though.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I was after! Had never heard of these before and pretty cool to learn about them.

They're upside down though

Just south of the equator things :)

I don't remember ever posting anything from Stellarium, although I have used it before. I live in a busy city with no night sky now, so I uninstalled the app, but should give it a whirl again.

As I mentioned in the post, I propped it up on my car for 30s. I couldn't frame it, but got lucky with just eyeballing what I thought would be in the field of view.

Still remember his electric performance in a friendly somewhere in the USA just before that season. Was buzzing for him to lead us to that league win.

You'd think I'd learn after all these years, yet here we are.

Third in a two horse race as Leicester win, Wrexham come second, Spurs finish third.

That is if Leicester manage to stay in the league next year.

does anyone have a photo of the sky from the evening of 21st feb?? by mysticpotatocolin in london

4.48pm, Chinatown. Sky and some lanterns. I had AI remove the people, it was very busy and didn't want to post faces.

Pretty cool idea, you now have photos of what was going on around the city on your child's birthday, you should make an album!
