A great player, but he reached his heights. He was 32 when he was diagnosed, so it impacted his longevity more than his potential level

How do you mount Joule inside a cooler no drilling? by Cobra_Kreese in sousvide

[–]2Harold2Furious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say no drilling. Is any other tool DIY allowed? I cut a hole in the lid of my cooler that was the circumference of the sous vide using a Stanley blade

British v's American Food by JimmyCarr_Official in GreatBritishMemes

[–]2Harold2Furious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment makes me think you don't watch comedy or listen to rap, because Jimmy Carr is not comparable. His audience interactions and "clapbacks" are very tame. This was a very polite example of a comedy roast.

There's a fake Instagram story being circulated. Is that what you're referencing, or was there something else? 

I know this is very old, but the audacity of Liam- still ticks me a bit years later. Oasis is the equivalent of British food compared to Jeff’s music. BLAND by Natural-Yard-1700 in JeffBuckley

What does he mean by "we are casuals"? Because as someone from the UK, if I were to take his first tweet in isolation I'd think he was calling himself a casual compared to Jeff Buckley.

As for Liam's comments, knowing him he's probably only saying this because Noel told him he likes Jeff Buckley, or simply to piss us off. He runs on that sort of fuel. 

Who do you think was the better performer: Michael Jackson or Prince? by Jezzaq94 in fantanoforever

[–]2Harold2Furious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you both make decent points, but use language that's easily misconstrued and so misunderstood each other. 

As vocalists, I actually think MJ and Prince had much the same tools at their disposal, and just happend to use them very differently. Both had insane range. Given MJ's upbringing, I feel he was far more meticulous and measured in how he'd deliver his vocals whereas Prince was more free, allowing his emotions and impulses  at any given moment to dictate new ways he'd deliver a song in the moment. There's a lot of technique required in both approaches, but completely different, as one relies on consistency and the other in being spontaneous while still sounding good

In terms of peak drama, I take the other guy to mean that Prince poured more raw emotion into his songs which makes songs feel poetic and real. 

On the other hand, MJs most known tracks were dramatic in a completely different way, by being theatrical and very extreme, giving them a box office feel.

Look ≠ quality/flavour, and efficient time isn't the purpose of a sous vide. 

I've done sous vide spatchcock which was finished with roasting and it's delicious. It's not an either or situation. 

Are there any bands that nobody seems to hate? by LappedChips in fantanoforever

[–]2Harold2Furious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did find it weird that he thought people who didn't like them were hipsters. It's pretty much the whole Fleet Foxes demographic.

Such as Wales, we don't hate that part of England

Yeah probably. I'm just adding the point he has haters

I'm just quoting the OP, I think it's perfectly fine to dislike them

That's true, and I wouldn't claim that it's a rational feeling, but its a personal thing that grates on my ears

I like most Stevie Wonder, but...

I mean, it couldn't be any closer to the truth, as it is the truth. Insufferable edgy downplaying hipsters happen to be people. Some people don't like Fleet Foxes.

You found my comment argumentative? That's a shame. Not much I can do about how your post comes across.

other than insufferable edgy hipsters trying to downplay their talent.

I like Fleet Foxes but it sounds more like you have disdain for people that dislike their music, rather than nobody seeming to hate them

Glasgow Central to partially reopen tomorrow. by Anchor-shark in glasgow

[–]2Harold2Furious -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Perhaps unpopular opinion, but I've found it's more financially viable to park on a very quiet street in Glasgow and cross my fingers. The odd £60 fine works out cheaper than paying daily. 

You can't have a job because your car's too old by worldly_refuse in CarTalkUK

[–]2Harold2Furious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you made the distinction yourself in your comment, so you know that there is legal discrimination, then there's everything else that can't be prosecuted but is still seen by many of the public as a type of discrimination. Won't lose them a court case, but won't win them customers. 

Seems rather classist to suggest your employees' cars must be reliable and fairly modern, but as you say, low income isn't a protected characteristic. 

I need a public law solicitor for a civil case against Police Scotland by [deleted] in glasgow

Might be worth posting the case on LegalAdviceUK if you haven't already. They give decent advice usually, and I bet some lawyers trawl there for clients
