Hi everyone, I've been struggling with Youtube getting clear 360 video, even with 40mbps. I found it's much better to download 360 videos from youtube (with 4K Downloader or similar) and I see a massive difference playing the media offline! I've experimented with the resolutions, and I'm...

You can't Actifry a mars bar right? =p

Fryer update to those who are interested! Seems my chips were still saturated with water after blanching them. Will try and figure out how to keep said chips dry and tasty. I'm making the chips myself. Thread was well worth it as I've now discovered the Tefal Actifry.

might be getting binned, not confident to use it if this keeps happening.

it does, It's just curious the way it happens because it's been cooking frozen chips for about 4 minutes quietly then really suddenly the bubbles start, they seem to be coming from the bottom of the tank. The chips don't react violently when introduced to the oil, no excess ice or frost on the...

Hi everyone, Randomly whilst cooking (with a small deep fat fryer) I hear a noise of bubbles coming from the bottom of the tank. Once I start to hear the noise I turn off the power at the mains and pull out whatever I was cooking. With the power off the bubbles continue to build up...

As far as I remember my physics teacher told me the same. I only have 1 socket in my room, but I use 3 extensions. However, I'd only use this after counting up all the wattage and make sure its not anywhere near 3000W. I think I'm pulling about 500w with all the electronics at full blast...

Been interested in this for a while, the new lighting system looks very sweet, you can try it by looking for the latest patch. Bought it a while back, been watching development updates. If this game gets more content and multiplayer, I'm going to loose some serious productivity!

I'd love to see some kind of response from him, and I hope that he has some decent parents who get wind of this.

I'm sitting with my beloved Q6600 wondering if it's time has finally come. (Can't afford the move yet though...)

Does everybody get the same deal when it comes to Ping? ie. is it based on distance and all traffic go through the same backbones? Say I'm on one ISP and next door is on another ISP, we connect to the same server, would there be a significant difference? Do any ISPs specialise in low Pings (if...

Might as well replay Far Cry 1, soooo good.

Most of the offending sub-reddits are way off in the periphery, you can choose what ones you subscribe to, and anyone can make a sub-reddit and it's self-policed with moderators and a voting system, so the majority of normal people will never come close to that stuff and assume that it's policed...

Top one is dustmites stuck in a pool of water, and second one is a cricket being eaten by a Pinktoe Tarantula Spiderling. Both photos taken using a Macro lens and extension tubes for the dustmites.

Ok guys, you get internet points if you can identify what this is. Also, Billy says hi.

Bit of a Spider update, I'm sure everyone will be pleased to see this thread again! It's been about 5/6 months since I got my spiderling. I'm a lot more clued up about the whole hobby now, and I have to say I'm significantly less scared of spiders now. I'm looking forward to handling an adult...

Roulette tables blow my mind, as an economics graduate that is. Every single possible bet you can place has a lower expected payoff than the expected value. This guarantees that the casino wins on average. Choose a bet, count all the possible places the ball can land, work out the probability...

I used to play with a couple of mates in one of the big alliances. Got bored one day and decided to try and trigger a war between rival alliances. DIDN'T WORK got nuked into the ground.

As far as I know, the law protects photographers rights when taking photos in public up until the point of harassment. I too have been asked what I was taking a photo of when I was in the city centre during Christmas lights. At night I was taking a long exposure of a carousel, everyone was...

I'm pretty sure I read about the first ones raising money for Charity and other charities running along with this, such as buy 1 give 1. It's intended for education.
