I am pretty certain that the Morrisons (uk supermarket) value porridge oats and the Morrisons standard porridge oats are actually the exact same thing, just in different packaging. Since they both have mostly clear bags you can see that they look identical, both also have the exact same nutrients information listed. Well other than the price and the colour packaging
Yeah I would have guessed so, the dash still said 78k but who knows whats happened to that over the years.
When i sawed that variant,i knew what it was from...GT4 was a good car school Dev´s are running of cars.Gabster needs to think about something.
8GB of RAM (2 x 4) and a Logitech Driving Force Shifter coming in the post. Godspeed Royal Mail & DPD!
I've been awfully quiet recently, as i have grown an interest for train-related things. I Still check here occasionally. And then suddenly had a cringe attack on my previous "Mods" I remember how lazy some where. Anyway. It's nice popping here again, i still feel very good in the forums when reading around.
Well, that was interesting. 16 Hour delays into the port of Dover (the main route to Calais and mainland Europe for those of you who don't know), because the French Border Checkpoint was understaffed. Kent seems to be returning to normal now! EDIT: Just to add, there is normally a 30 second wait at the French Border Checkpoint - when it is open, for that matter!
Believe me, America's border crossings are the most congested and it takes way longer than 30 seconds to get by because they check you for a criminal background. This photo accurately sums America's border crossings:
Yeah, we're also not part of this thing called Europe where you might need to travel between countries. It's not like these are two different things at all.
When I took a school trip to Quebec City it only took 10 or so minutes to check everyone's passports and luggage, with 75 people going. I assume it's a lot more strict trying to enter Mexico.
Yeah, with all the crime, illegal border crossers, and drug cartels going on in Mexico, and be prepared to see a lot more people once Trump takes over America.
Todays expariment : 100% GPU fan speed all day. Why: Tired of sweating all day long while my room is at 30+ degrees celsius Result: Heat in my room has kept way down, occasionally using fan from hallway. SUCCESS!
Bought this beautiful example of a Yamaha CR-620 Receiver. Quick DC-Offset test which is kinda like a compression test for amplification devices in the sense it gives you a good idea how good/ bad the internals are only theirs no compression involved only electricity and a multimeter. Perfect is 0mV which you only really see on brand new gear, good is about 30mV, high is 60mV and anything above that is starting to get dangerous for speakers. This Yammie shows a perfect bill of health with only .8mV of DC-Offset on both channels which is quite rare for a piece of gear that's almost 40 years old, checked and adjusted the idle current, wasn't to far out of spec, 10mV left, 11mV right, idle current for this receiver is 8mV, adjusted those accordingly and blew the dust out. Honestly I think it spent over half it's life in it's box probably in some warehouse somewhere. Looks like new, runs like new and sounds great.
Still thinking of cool locations for a real-road Forza Horizon ripoff (the good part is, by the time I have the means to accomplish any such thing, the technology will be good and ready). What I've come up with so far: North America: -Middle California, around San Juan -Southern California, north of Los Angeles -Western North Carolina -Vancouver, British Columbia, with the main base either in Stanly Park, or in the Convention Centre (with most of the center barred to pedestrian traffic and used as a giant drift arena). Europe/UK: -Isle of Man -Trento (think the hill climb from Assetto Corsa) -Saint-Jean-du-Gard (middle-of-nowhere France, home to another hillclimb, and no skyscrapers to spoil the view anywhere) -Obligatory (and expensive) Nurburgring and surrounding area -Obligatory (and expensive) Le Mans and surrounding area -Obligatory (and expensive) Spa and surrounding area Japan: -Mountains north of Rokko (stumbled onto this area quite by accident, but it's thick with the kind of roads dreams are made of) -Area south and west of Sapporo (this place seems to have the best roads of Hokkaido) Which of these do you think is the coolest idea... and do you have any others?
At Dover, when the ports and/or Channel Tunnel close (can either be because of workers on strike in France, blocking the exits, or issues with the Migrant camps), Operation Stack is introduced. This involves closing the M20 motorway, and parking all the lorries waiting for crossings on it. Last summer, it became so bad, that Stack Phase 4 was introduced. This involved parking lorries on the entirety of the M20 (A20). That is 50 miles of stuck lorries, and the main motorway through Kent being shut. This leads to the M2 being used by most cars. The M2 is well known for having a lot of accidents on it, due to random changes between lit and unlit motorway. Recently, there have been motorway closing accidents roughly every week. This causes traffic to mainly use the A2, a road dating back to Roman times, which does not have significant enough infrastructure to maintain a lot of traffic, leading to it clogging up. When the ports close, Kent's roads become car parks. An image of the queues at Dover yesterday: And an image just to give you an impression of the extent of Operation Stack. Note, this is just a few miles of the 50 mile total in force last summer. They are looking for alternatives to Stack. One of which is using Manston Airport (a disused airport) as a lorry park. The main problem with this is getting there. Trucks would have to use the A249, one of Kent's busiest dual carriageways, and go up Detling hill, a really steep hill which trucks struggle up. Then, they have to take the M2, which is always a nightmare, then along regional single carriageway A-Roads. I hope you enjoyed this wall of text about the troubles the French delays cause Kent!
