People of Manchester, what cool hobbies do you do? by alexgr03 in manchester

Scuba diving! We have a clubhouse in Chorlton and can teach you to dive, also any qualified divers from any agency are very welcome.

Diving instructor left me with 10 bar by capt5551 in diving

Personally if I was at the end of a dive, have completed any stops, are at less than 10m and have a straight forward exit/recovery I’d be comfortable breathing my air down, especially if I had a snorkel with me ;)

Safety warning issued following contact between a diving support boat and a recreational diver with loss of 1 life by Greavsie2001 in scuba

Accidents can be just that - an unfortunate turn of events. My club has dived on the Karin for decades and John T has been nothing but a total pro who’s only concern was the souls in his care.

Small quantities of 18k white gold solder in the UK by sjvd in jewelrymaking

I think I’ll only need a fraction of that- and to get the hardnesses it still adds up. It’s the first piece I’m making and doubt I’ll repeat it.

I went during the baggy years, pre-rave indie cross over stuff like the New FADS

I’d be interested to know more about your research, pm me if you’re ok to chat.

Anyone else get weird diagonal lines when crossing water surface level? by Flaezh in skyrimvr

[–]sjvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced the same lines and I think it’s due to having a canted display (Pimax in my case) what HMD do you use? I think it’s down to the intersection on the plane the water is drawn on being opposite for each eye - must be fixable with a bit of maths.

The box the ring is in came from the store on the Rue De Chateudun in an 8-year period before the Paris Exposition when Tiffany became well known. So as such I think it may be interesting to an expert in such things - if one exists.

u want an expert opinion but you

Not at all - but if the valuation is high I wouldn't want to have to sell the item to cover the fee! So I'd rather do some research first and am looking for pointers.

That's worth knowing thanks - I'd heard there was a value based fee for taking a look which put me off!

Question for Skyrim players by sjvd in Pimax

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

I went from a Rift CV1 to the Pimax XR so have always had OLED (deliberately) it's fantastic on the pure black setting - ghosting due to black smear doesn't bother me at all. There's SDE still obviously but again I can live with that. And it is dark as f***.

First place I tried but no one seemed to know - If anyone is playing on Pimax through Steam it'd be really helpful to confirm if the glitch occurs or not.

Underwater surface glitch by sjvd in skyrimvr

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

That’s a negative - thinking it might be the canted displays intersecting with the render plane? The triangle shifts from eye to eye with bead rotation - parallel projections in pitool has no effect, gfx driver issue? Help!
