There actually was a bug in Jet Set Willy that makes it impossible to complete.

Right now, I’m banging my head against the last boss of Titan Souls.

Here’s a GPX starting around Lee, then going up the route to Cragg for a loop around and back to the car park. (Right click and save target as, or equivalent):

They’ll be fine. The Musson book just advises lacing them so the spokes match up to the flange wear from previous builds.

Alas, I’m out due to a sticky piston.

(This thread seems especially useful by virtue of seeing this stuff in aggregate).

SLX chainsets:
The jump from entry level stuff I started with to SLX seems much bigger than the jump in quality from SLX to XT or above. SLX works well and is cheap enough I don’t have to worry about smashing bits of it.

Spank bits:
Subrosa rims have a reputation for being almost indestructible (unlike their wider ones) and seem to have put a stop to pinch flats for me even at lower pressures than I ran before. While I’m sure there are lots of 35mm stem and 760mm bar options I’d find just as good, their Spike stem and Spoon risers are lovely.

Probably M3.

If no one here knows (and sorry I don’t), a thread pitch gauge off ebay is about a fiver, or if you have any independent fixing shops nearby, they can be very helpful.

It is possible harry and wife’s marriage is not a war of attrition but a partnership based on respect and dare I say love?

:D

circus type, I fully accept you’re right to lead alternative lifestyles, you crazy maverick you

I’m not a circus type, and I don’t wear bright clothes or lead an “alternative lifestyle”. You just stopped by to piss on other people’s interests and voice strong opinions on inconsequential things, and I think that’s contemptible.

Yeah. Don’t learn to unicycle, just pinch off negative pissy posts like the one above. Definitely don’t do anything to please yourself ever, just do things because other people do them. Make sure to write off whole swathes of people and their interests with stereotypes too, especially if they seem a bit different. There’s no need to look for the value in anything, you can just make a snap judgement, write it off, then go to the pub to do it socially.

Much easier than challenging yourself to lean something new and it’ll definitely make you really, really happy on your deathbed.

One: Kitchen worktop, practice just balancing with one hand on it and your feet on the pedals, which is hard enough at first.

Two: Once you’re comfortable staying still on it, try rolling back and forward half a turn. Do it a hundred times, then swap sides. Keep doing that every day for a quite a few weeks.

Three: Launch yourself from one worktop to another. Try pedalling it around the house using the walls and floor for support.

Four: Find something like a pillar or tree somewhere flat and spacious. Try riding away from it in a straight line as far as you can. Rinse and repeat.

Five: Learn the three methods of cornering and how they all make it behave slightly differently: Swinging your shoulders and arms, pedalling harder on one side, and leaning for fast corners.

It took me six months on and off, and I still can’t freemount. After that long developing my balance though, I could miraculously track stand when I hadn’t been able to before.

If you can tap the light or something attached to it with a camera thread, K-edge do a nice 1/4-20 adapter:

Bonus points if anyone spots what the adapter was made from…

End of a freezer bag clip?

There’s also http://www.glitterthem.co.uk with various sizes of package.

Both set up after someone started http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com in the US.

After having to deal with gaters occasionally and work with some of their victims in the past six months, I almost enjoyed these five pages of people asking them for proof.

I haven’t yet seen anyone argue the pro-GamerGate side without looking like a massive end…

Even the most laddish developers I know think gamergate are a bunch of bellends, and the best estimates anyone has managed puts them at a fraction of 1% of the market for commercial videogames. They still sit there on Twitter bigging themselves up and screaming “Don’t ignore me! I’m the market!” though.

Here’s a screengrab from one of their chatrooms, when they were just starting up last August, of some of them taking gamings feminist illuminati incredibly and hilariously literally.

@fasthaggis I could watch that kind of stuff all day :)

Could the answer to London’s congestion be a network of subterranean cycleways?

Pretty sure it wasn’t the bikes causing gridlock on my morning commute when I was in London.

Given how short the available tunnels are, this just seems like a silly idea. As chakaping said, it’s a bollocks infrastructure idea that distracts from productive efforts.

For those of you who’ve accidentally shut servers down with the command line, it could be worse: Imagine creating a $460 million loss by leaving old code around[/url].

citrus degreaser

must be alright my mate uses it to clean engines!

This. Virosol is pretty decent, cheap, and apparently safe to pour down sinks. I started using it after googling for citrus degreasers and ending up in an old thread here.

Playing Super Hexagon on a massive projector while Chipzel was doing a set in front of it.

Clanmates splitting up to rush a UT aimbotter, and being the one to get a kill in before we all disconnected.

About a dozen of us racing ice cream trucks around Time Square in GTA IV multiplayer. Grenades+first corner=massive pile of mangled, burning ice cream vans. No one escaped. For the few seconds before everything blew up, all we could hear were ice cream jingles and everyone pissing themselves laughing.

Edit: Sneaking around in Medal of Honour with my brother watching me. I took out all of the sentries around a house without a sound, and just after I ran into a room and did two headshots before the guards playing cards could even react, my brother asked: “You know if there’s ever a war… can I be on your side?”

I spent a lot of time on Eve, most of it was lacklustre, those few weeks were pretty incredible.

I decided two weeks was enough of Eve, but wanted to leave it with more finality than just logging out. Setting course for the edge of the galaxy, just watching it occasionally for the few hours it took to get there, then getting blown up by pirates and leaving my pod orbiting a rock on the very edge was a great way to leave it behind.

Clipped a double decker with a hire van during rush hour. Everyone got off very lightly, but the shame of sixty commuters glaring at me through the bus windows as we checked it for damage though :0

Taking a box of change to the bank. All bagged up and been collecting for a few years so totalled £170. Pull out of the drive onto the road and accelerate.

Was it all 1s and 2s?

That attempt at ghetto forward geometry did not go well.

and here’s a race with neither Daz nor Gaz:

Those were the best two in terms of interesting shots.

Thanks once again for organising Gaz.

Here’s DazH winning a pump race:

I’ll be there with my donor card.

I ran a continuous 36 hour event for work, then was bundled into a car to the airport as it ended so I could fly to a conference in the US, so roughly 50 hours awake. I couldn’t sleep on the plane, got to my hotel room and collapsed for 16 hours face down with my clothes on. My head looked kind of like a potato when I woke up.

I bought some sintered ones for Hope M4s last summer, and when I came to fit them later found the alignment when the pad was stuck on was right on one edge of the plate and made it impossible to insert the spring. Too late to send them back when I noticed.

That was only one out of four pads though :D

(I generally find superstar stuff is fine)

I’ve really liked his documentaries and blogging in the paste, as even with awareness of bias he’s certainly thought provoking and seems to show alternate viewpoints.

His segment on the Screenwipe 2014 review jumped around so much I thought he was parodying himself though. This is a good sendup that was actually meant to be.

Good old Onion.

If only the crotch detail were a big moulded skull or some sort of gung-ho Americana. It’d tone them down a bit.

That’s the kind of thing. To get decent footage that’s not of your bars and the ground, it needs to be quite far up your shoulder.

I see a few Hollywood people have dared to question the merits of celebrating killing at it’s a bit of a flag waving propaganda thing – and been firmly put back in their box.

He killed a lot of people, said he enjoyed it, said he wished he’d killed more, and referred to Iraqis as savages. Those aren’t rumours or out of context: they’re recorded facts and his own words, but I guess he and his reputation are largely untouchable due to

I see I’m not the only person who could hear Trey Parker singing “America: **** yeah!” throughout.

I’ve made improvised strap mounts too: the only one that came close to working needed a rigid piece behind the strap and a front piece to bolt down tight to it, then the camelbak straps tightened right down on you. Even with all that, it was pretty wobbly. The shoulder mounting harness that garmin do for the virb suffers similarly.

Not irrelevant, because not all trails are soft.

I got the spank one too. They are even blingier than they look in photos.

Build up slow, pace yourself, and don’t overdo it even if you do get into a zone.

Also, get shoes that are right for your feet and gait: depending on the structure of your foot and whether or not you over-pronate or supinate, different shoes will help or hinder. I used to get loads of running injuries because I was running in shoes that gave too much support and didn’t let my ankles act the way they wanted to. Once I’d tested them (wet footprint test and looking at wear patterns on old shoes), done a bit of research and picked some new shoes, I could suddenly run longer distances without hurting myself.

I can’t find any reputable sites stating the supply has been cut off, but there’s definitely some interesting wheedling and strategising going on. The Russains are PR-spinning it to **** too:

The mirror footage is two different shots; stills show that his hands go out of sync in the mirror and first person view. I’m pretty sure the birds and people on the chairlift are comped in too, but the stunts are real. Loads of videos out there show he’s certainly a good enough skier, and freeride world champs courses are as ludicrous as some of that off piste stuff. Love his combo of park skills with off piste skiing.
