Cut down and cleaned up photos I took at Vivid on the 31st of May and 1st of June. I've split it in to 4 sections to avoid immediately filling the screen. Vivid's been interesting to try and photograph especially when you didn't realise how to adjust the f-stop until more than half way through. 😅

This seems like a sensible but odd carveout. The law is essentially legalising e-scooters on shared paths, and bike lanes on roads with no more than 20km/h. The proposition does not allow them on footpaths, which you’d think would be the most relevant place. Personally, I’m surprised they wouldn’t allow them on footpaths but no more than 5 km/h in heavy pedestrian areas (anywhere a car would have to do 40 km/h or less), especially since you could potentially require shared e-scooters to enforce this speed with GPS.

CCTV screen in a convenience store in Flinders Street Station Melbourne needs Ubuntu updates.

Physics were never really DayZ's strong point. :P

I made a warmup playlist for EPIK to share with somebody else who's going. I've tried to have some semblance of flow between tracks and tried to guess the order of the artists. It's all artists playing at EPIK minus Suae and DNA.

I was wondering if it would be possible to help clear this section up:

However, the internal necessity perpetually to be, is inseparably connected with the necessity always to have been, and so the expression may stand as it is. “Gigni de nihilo nihil; in nihilum nil posse reverti,”30 are two propositions which the ancients never parted, and which people nowadays sometimes mistakenly disjoin, because they imagine that the propositions apply to objects as things in themselves, and that the former might be inimical to the dependence (even in respect of its substance also) of the world upon a supreme cause. The quote is from The Critique of Pure Reason, First Analogy, Principle of the Permanence of Substance.

I think they’re saying this:

• The idea of something being permanent means it has always been and always will be.
• You can’t seperate these two ideas: permanence requires both.
• People at the time of writing sometimes try to remove the “always has been” part as it conflicts with or removes the need for a creator (something which is permanent that created non-permanent things).
• These people applied the idea of permanence to things in themselves as if it were possible to perceive things in themselves, rather than their representations.

I suspect I could be wildly off here.

I visited Usti nad Labem back in June while in Europe after being inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhCNEpcPO4 and https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/5dldfi/chernarus_real_life_map_with_in_game_locations/ and figured I'd post my photos here in case it inspires somebody else!

The link goes to a gallery of almost all the videos and photos I took while there as well as some videos. You can click on the map icon (to the right of the title at the top-left) to see every photo on a map. The Arma 2/DayZ locations can be found at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1EJNBRC6X6C2P6Q1MGrsOb8Zynt4&ll=50.71286861566866%2C14.120705128839054&z=12 (posted in the Reddit link above).

Unfortunately the videos can't be put on a map, so here goes!:

• The first 3 videos (IMG_5980, IMG_5981) are the train ride from Decin (around Rify) to Usti nad Labem (roughly Balota airfield).
• IMG_5987 and IMG_5995 are at Usti nad Labem station.
• IMG_6043 is at the east-most part of Usti nad Labem (roughly Balota airfield) near the river.
• IMG_6255 is the road between Usti nad Labem-Nestmice (Cherno) and Mirkov (Mogilevka)
• IMG_6259 is at Zricenina hradu Blansko (Zub castle).
• IMG_6274 is a drive between Mirkov (Mogilevka) to Slavosov (Novy Sobor).
• IMG_6282 is a drive between Slavosov (Novy Sobor) and Lipova (Stary Sobor)
• IMG_6292 is a drive from Lipova (Stary Sobor) to Statek Libov (Rogovo), Radesin (Pogorevka) and the intersection between Chuderov (Zelenogork), Green Mountain, Radesin (Pogorevka) and Chuderov - Sovolusky (Pulkovo).
• IMG_6404 is a drive from Javory (Gorka) to Malsovice (Berezino).
• IMG_6468 is a drive from Jilove (Gvozdno) to Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav). Turns out this isn't a paved road like it is in the game, and nor is (at least some) of the road between Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav) to Stara Bohyne (Dubrovka). We didn't go down this road though.
• IMG_6469 is a drive through Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav).
• IMG_6493 is a drive along the river and Malsovice (Berezino).
• IMG_6494 is around Malsovice (Berezino).
• IMG_6496 and IMG_6497 are a drive from Malsovice (Berezino) to the dam at Povrly (Elektro) via Borek (Orlovets) and Hlinena (Polana), Dobkovice (Solnichniy) and Roztoky (Kamyshovo).
• IMG_6522 is a drive from the dam at Povrly (Elektro) to Masovice (Pusta).
