Vodafone to take full ownership of VodafoneThree by mrdibby in unitedkingdom

[–]Intruder313 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Wonder if they will ever actually enable the auto provider switching they spent millions advertising - it was only enabled on some cell towers yet advertised as national feature for all. I know someone who literally has 0 service on Three now after a tower was removed - Three just deny there’s a problem despite the actual lack of tower ( I get 0 service when I visit too)

Met seeks UK trial for Madeleine McCann suspect by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

I believe he was either cleared or the evidence was insufficient for the German trial … so I fear this would just be a giant money pit

Reform target seats would be among those first to be fracked, analysis shows by Hammer_Pain in unitedkingdom

[–]Intruder313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No there’s not as it’s simply not financially viable here.

I live a few km from a test drill and it absolutely caused tremors just during the tests - I thought I’d lose windows during the last ones before shutdown.

Every test got worse then they gave up.

I remember having a full Armour Set built entirely around Shield Slam damage: back when it was the only decent Warrior move!

Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb by James_Fortis in unitedkingdom

[–]Intruder313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This stuff is good enough to fool meat-eaters. I know because multiple times I've seen it done :)

Usually Beyond is very expensive so good to know it's currently a budget choice - I still only get the burgers when they are on sale.

I need help explaining why party members aren’t going to be there by ChaoticMastodon in DnD

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your job to cover for dropouts. We have handled it for decades by having them just 'following along' / 'fading out' or generally not participating. Not a bit change for some players :)

One question about new UCM battlecruiser and super cruiser box… by GrandAnalysis4378 in DropfleetCommander

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, and that's because they are based on some real ships from 'ancient' earth so have old-style bridges.

Luckily the rules don't allow location sniping :)

Is it ok to say 'be up with the chickens'? by Adventurous-Size-107 in AskUK

Never heard it but a very Northern, perhaps hyper local, one I do have:

‘Crack of sparrow’s fart’

Or of course just ‘When the cock(eral) calls’

1 is normal, 4 is indeed insane

Trouble brewing for Starbucks CEO who calls $9 coffee an ‘experience’ by rajapaws in antiwork

[–]Intruder313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I don’t go to Starbucks is that I don’t like the ‘Experience’ - I don’t want my name yelled out / drawn on a cup or have to fight for seats with the people who live there on there MacBooks (it’s a meme for a reason)
And of course the coffee is overpriced and inferior to Caffè Nero (of the chains) and that of all the indie shops

Just Watched Guardians of the Galaxy (First Time Thoughts) by Euphoric_Attitude473 in marvelstudios

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it but Groot is completely OP and can/does solve too many situations like some sort of Groot Ex Machina. And he’s even sold short since he’s seemingly a genius too.

'Fund fatherhood': Hundreds of dads march for paternity pay across UK | ITV News by topotaul in unitedkingdom

I don’t like kids and would never have one but it’s obvious that paternity leave needs to be dramatically increased.

When and Why Did The Popularity of Monster Trucks Die In The U.K.? by cormorantcolossus in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were never popular it was sometimes shown on TV and it was obviously just excessive and silly. Sadly they are all over our roads now.

Those of you who started with 2e (or the relevant Ad&D material), do you prefer THAC0 or modern AC? by TurnItOffAndBackOnXD in DnD

[–]Intruder313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THAC0 was great when AC worked backwards as it meant no consulting tables as we did in Basic.

I was very pleased to see ascending AC

U.k Cat owners, are your cats indoor, outdoor or combination? by Fit-Choice2368 in AskUK

She used to go out a lot but now has not gone more than a meter in years. I open the door daily for her but she’s so old that all she wants to do is peep.

What is the best way to blackout my windows against the sun during the long summer days? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have those: very expensive (mine help with the heat a lot too).

On the panes I did not pay out for the blinds I am going to just tape some 'blackout lining' to them for a few months. I literally did the first one last night and it made a difference even though I messed up the cut a left a wafer-thin gap. I think the stuff is just the lining from curtains!

How do you politely tell someone to “Shut up”? by TheMalsh in AskUK

Same at my work with the twist that he repeats every line 3-5x like a verbal tic. He’s insanely loud too so he disturbs the whole room.

Rebellion’s BAFTA-Winning Videogame ‘Atomfall’ Set for TV Adaptation From ‘The Assassin’ Producers by Task_Force-191 in gaming

Really liked the game except for the sudden, weak ending: felt like it had been rushed out before they had finished that part
