Nick

I use Gmail and they sort them into a promotional folder however I also unsubscribe from pretty much all of them. 

wont get out, but a new build to start

Attending the Scottish GT12 Regionals, against rival clubs 

Good luck mate 🏁

the delay when hitting 'new posts' seems to have reduced.

hey nick, this has only happened now but on my mobile, the status update is at the bottom of the forum.

Worse thing I saw was top gear star! He was in like two episodes! If you can find nitro Circus it's well worth a watch, although it mainly about Travis Ken is in it. 

Sad news indeed. Another driving legend gone too soon. RIP. 

Cut short far too early but @Nitroholic is bob on. The world will be a poorer place.

does it have that flip over mode still?

@Bajadre are you implying I'm a bad driver?   Not sure actually!

Lol nick nah i did like that feature on my mates always jealous when we collided and i got the walk of shame and he didnt haha

ha ha always runs slow for me😄

And me lol

Where abouts? I'd love to go see the giant red trees!

Canada ay. 😁

I'm planning on doing another few weeks in Canada next year (west coast this time). I really fancy getting a drone, how do you rate the mini?

May i ask what the prizes are?

oh awesome i just renewed about a week ago i think, i was drunk 😛

As long as the input voltage and current demands are met, yes. 

My daughter has a ride on electric car, it's 12v lead battery gave up the ghost, it now runs on a 3s turnigy HD lipo and performance is more punchy and the lipo doesn't even get warm under use. 

Electric cars use to run off 18650 cells in stacked parallel/series cell packs so as long as you have some knowledge of electronics, a multimeter and wire things properly it'll be fine.  I say use to, as I'm not sure if they're switched to lipos these days. 

For voltage monitoring you can use a 50p inline voltage monitor, I might have one in my spares if needed! 

The only exception would be if they have some sort of identification chip built in to stop people using third party batteries. E.g. DJI drones do something similar on some models, so you'd find a lot of them available for cheap but it's because a battery change isn't a cheap option. 

Volt up, gear down 🤣🤣🤣

That seems steep? Even my Stihl mower ones are only 2/3rds of that!

buy my DC1 of me and keep the hyper

Worth a try mate 

absolutely... this is about the perfect temperature  for me tbh!

It’s glorious, I’ve been working on the roof of Castle Drogo, on the edge of Dartmoor, certainly different from last weeks weather!

sure makes a difference to your mood!

It certainly does! It's been a lovely start to the spring season

just got back from work, going to have a look around 👍

i like it 🙂 

Yeh im liking it 

Oooh badges 😉 what else is coming ??

You think that's bad @Rover Man @Nickis still a "Newbie" after being here since 2004! ...and he changed the software.   

What's with the little icons saying 'rare' on the badges?

Even Says it...(perhaps post ironically) .... above the 'you've been a member for a week'.... 🤣

I read that as MS Paint and wondered what artistic masterpiece are you creating. 

I've found in my experience 10-15 mins when it's touch dry. 

tamiay pink spraiy paint?????

shouldnt take long brother esp in this weather atm 

Yup...from yesterday...

went plane flying this morning, it was like a blast furnace, cut it short by a few hours due to heat

been to a quarry flying all day baking here haha 

correct me if wrong but pretty sure all none UK suppliers should now charge tax at point of sale so you should not pay it on arrival

As jack says, the seller should charge tax, so you shouldnt get stung with that. If it isnt shown on the order... don't go through with it. It will get stopped at customs and then all kinds of charges slapped on for them processing whatever it is.

This is worth a read:

But essentially, it's just a roll of the dice still. The system is so complicated, no-one seems to be able to boil it down into language that normal people can understand.

It's expensive. I stupidly bought a drill, got hit hard. VAT, plus import, plus handling. Won't be doing that again in a hurry. 

Facia and Guttering supplier, something like this, but all big towns will have some kind of seller 👍

Perfect, cheers mate. It is UPVC I needed, couldn't find anything searching PVC, got a sheet off eBay coming. 👍😁

like cladding stuff nick i would think

Awesome. Just entered. 😀

@Tug You can only put mid roll ads in videos 8 minutes & longer. Or do you just mean 2 ads right at the beginning of a 5 minute vid?

Yep, seeing more and more ads! They're pushing people to sign up for the Premium.

I would get premium if it was less than £6, I can't justify the price it is at the moment. Netflix and Prime are the same price!

Careful with the puns or Nick will lock this status 😄 

so long as its blue and not red it will be ok 

Maybe a thread could be started...

@Guns what do you mean by removing the like a post feature?

@Nick I think the reaction to a post option on forums is killing them. You get a notification and its a reaction and thats the discussion killed. Its turning forums into social media. I appreciate it probably keeps pointless posts down, but I think it does hurt overall forum activity

It's a good point Guns.

Happy New Year Nick. 👍

happy new year everyone

Happy New Year to yin an all hope 2021 is a lot better than 2020 🍻

do we have to answer a question, i see it but it wont let me answer

We all learn something new everyday and it's good.

I've brought afew fans this week. Ide like to buy one of those water filled or ice pack ones but 250ish Mrs keeps talking me out of it. 

Then theres the mini ones 25-50 just plonk it in front of you fill it with ice water and feel fresh. But that price mixing water and electricity idk. 

I've got a pretty big portable one in my office, which is at the top of a 3 story modern and well insulated house. I also share that office with my servers.

It makes the difference between being able to work and not... which for a freelancer is also the difference between having money and not.

If I leave the door open, it does also have enough grunt to pull heat out the whole upstairs of the house. Not the most efficient thing to do, but it works.

Definitely get a window kit if you do it.

I’ll try to be nice to them 🤣

"Make them feel lovely and welcome"... Why am I seeing this as a sign above the door of some massage parlour somewhere  

^^^^ 30mins or an hour???
