Update on 4.35 U2
-
But yes I am still running
-
…actually, I like this one -
A rare one and hard to find, as printed. Released during my final year at college…and I want that Strat!
As long as U2 i would show my first actual encounter with the band (and still have it on 12-inch 45 vinyl)
-
I think I missed U2 when they played my campus (at least I think they did…) but I did manage to catch the Pretenders in their original line up in our smaller hall…
Not this performance, but it’s the originals. Probably my all time fav show. The sound was KILLER especially - Honeyman-Scott’s Zemaitis guitars…the review was “like air-raid sirens”!

JC… the city must’ve been (was) in ruins back then…
I was in tour for a week , like , five 18yrs idiots “tour” from Zagreb to [Odzak] and [Modricha] in 1995…. nothing to see then empty cities., and villages… but it was fun… well, you know,
… for the first time saw two low flying ~50m over out heads (recon/observe) AH-64A’s , maybe British, or SFOR/UN … since they weren’t white.
-Standard “TOP-GUN Hello” type communication applied – I can bet I got a response too :mrgreen: (but I could see their helmets from ground)Also , we were playing football on one field, meadow, … then one local said, mmm, you better stop you know, may be mines. - Oh … right. OK.
And, I really don’t (want to) know what meat was made from , but local grill was magnificent …

Been in the Sarajevo Area for 3 deployments UN/IFOR/SFOR altogether 22 month. Seen the country slowly reconstructing. Established a friendship with a guy who worked as a translator for me during my first deployment. Visited him 2 years ago even now you still might see some war destructions.
For cevapcici if you get them in Bosnia they are in most cases made from a mix of beef, mutton, Lamb, in the Serbian part might be pork in the mix as well

@vfp:
@seifer what about performance, without shaders its very good , and what about performance in the future
btw you have impressed me with your social skills
i would like to be on your beta team but i have not time and no one would trust me to enter lol i have asked this question to some ppl but they dont take the risk to talk to the team they consider me black sheep
anyway if you can talk about performance in the future pls share
Hi buddy, not really the right time to talk about performance, but here we go.
U1 already increased 25-30% over 4.35. For U2, we have another 8-10% increase.
But since things are not stable, we are putting all other performance efforts on hold. Performance and stability go on opposite directions usually: code is harder to read, more threads and more bugs etc. So for now, we are playing on the safe side.
We do have some optimizations in mind, but really, this is for the future. For now, our focus is a solid exe.

Yeah, no need to worry about those. Ćevapi are a holy item.

Yeah but problem is (was) , you’re never sure was it someones lost/wild dog or a lamb/pork. Since when skinned dog looks almost similar to lamb. … but field testing was , give some grilled meat to the nearby dog , if it refuses , something is fishy. And they were hungry like hell. I bet they would “disassemble” you if you would like touch their food, steal a bone.
Anyway… yeahSituation was kinda grim back then , not many people remained in those areas and living standards weren’t “standards” at all. No piped water else then brought by cisterns and poured into 20l canisters , whole “city” was powered by a diesel generator in UN container. … so that was some maybe ~100kW , cant say for sure… not many spenders. Just enough to keep up with surviving. Black market.
If you played Fallout II back then … I really wouldn’t like to compare it.
Anyways… U2 :wfish:
-
I prefer this U2…

Maybe [Rakija] … but who knows of what (what was there)… they/we make it from everything, plumb, pear, vine/grape , diesel fuel :mrgreen: … It’s not like “Vodka” … but again another type of moonshine.

He probably tried to spell “šljivovica”
Sorry for chatting up the thread, over.

My father used to get that stuff from a cousin. I always thought it tasted and smelled like paint remover.

Cause it’s all about temperature and moonshine can be paint remover if to much Methanol inside.
I will never forget that one day in 1997 where I was on a HUMIT patrol in Bonsia and in the middle of nowhere we couldn’t pass a small village cause the road was blocked by a DIY Distiller made out of some old 200l barrels. The whole thing was driven by a 96 year old man. He was a Siebenbürger Schwabe a German speaking minority from Romania who came to Bosnia during WWII met his wife and stayed there. We hade a conversation about what we call in German “God and the world”.
At one point we came to the distill and from my half knowledge I just knew that everything below 80°C is basically Methanol and not good to drink. As I inspected the distill I wasn’t able to see any thermometer. As I asked him how he determines what is good and what is bad:
He ditched his finger into the distill and put it on his temple then smelled on the drops coming out of the cooling and said:
that’s my measurment, I’m 96 I drink my stuff since more than 60 years and I’m still not blind
-
Yup. That’s typical thermometer out there. We use old people :mrgreen:
Aaah… I remember one video my, unfortunately gone friend, shown some 15yrs ago… Its about “Rakija” drinking championship in Serbia, Pranjani. You won’t understand much, but… just look… there is a scene when dude falls out of his car…
-
That was it ! , we called it slip in a ditch, ….sliv oh vich …it was potent home made, and plumbs ring a bell
-
conversation is drifting…
Back to topic please.
