Should’ve specified this was Venice, Italy. Baggage screening was in the UK where they’re very much not used to firearms/explosives in hand luggage.

Did this on a flight to Venice. Except it was a large firecracker, but at a glance it looked like a half stick of dynamite. I still have no idea how I got away with it.

Last one I ordered was left inside a wheelie bin. Which my neighbour helpfully put out the next morning.

You missed one-eyed Egyptian.

I almost exclusively play VR FPS these days. I only have time for short <1hr play sessions so my RPG days are on hold until life allows it.

I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.

It’s not marketing fluff though, it’s AI processing, as in recognising what you’re taking a photo of and auto-applying shooting presets/filters. Fairly common these days with new phones.

Volumetric video for sports is interesting because it offers VR users the option to ‘be there’, but the provider can also offer desktop/mobile users the option to control their own virtual camera. I can kinda see it taking off in a few years when more cheaper/lighter headsets with good passthrough arrive.

Capture One has a free 30 day trial IIRC. It’s great for doing this kind of thing, if you put caps lock on you can hit keys 1-5 to rate and it will auto advance.

I’ve been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.

Pretty sure they’re issued to staff and you can’t buy them, they do seem to be higher quality than the usual corporate branded sheite. Had them for a few years now and my plums remain well secured.

Postie legs! I am a proud owner of some Royal Mail branded shorts and I occasionally cosplay as a postie with my hot Scottish legs.
