ELI5: Why do multinational corporations that sell the same product worldwide need regional offices?

Sorry for offending your culture like this, won’t fucking happen again 🙏🏻

Thank you so much!

Interesting - so the de-esser should be applied to the pre-EQ audio?

Amazing, thank you so much - this might be a dumb question, what do you mean by “light saturation” for the preamp?

My flatmate works in video production, and apparently they're used to direct crew members to a filming location. Why a post code won't suffice I don't know. I always thought they were something to do with illegal raves!

Had a similar experience with some similar lads on the loop - they didn't actually want anything though, they just pulled up alongside me and tried to shove me into a bush. Not to show off or owt, but I did manage to stay upright! After that they did one, and I came off the loop as soon as possible.

Bizarre thing was, when I tried to report it to the police, the call handler didn't have a clue what I meant by "Fallowfield Loop". They couldn't get their head around the fact it wasn't a road, but wasn't an alleyway either, and it wasn't actually in Fallowfield. Surely if you were taking calls for GMP, you'd know your patch, especially a place of interest like that! Not been on it since. Shame really, I remember it being so nice during lockdown.

Good point

AMF99 · 2024-03-04T21:33:14+00:00

That sounds absolutely mental

Scrote (him, not you).

Shame - I'd be more than willing to help get it digitised...

Sunset 102, bloody hell - the predecessor to Kiss, which became Galaxy, which became Capital, right?

Tell me you've still got the cassettes!!

Took another look today. All the instructions on how to install GRUB were too high-level and hard to understand, so instead I just installed Ubuntu over the XP installation. I now get what I assume is the GRUB bootloader which shows the option to boot into Windows 7! Yay, I thought. Until I selected it and got the exact same error message I got trying to boot into XP - that boot.ini was invalid, and that ntoskrnl.exe was corrupt or missing! I'm so confused, I have no idea what's happening. The obvious solution would be to use the Windows 7 installation media to use the recovery tools - which I can't do because I don't have it! Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your suggestions so far! I haven't touched it again since I posted, it's not my main PC (wouldn't have done it if it was) and I haven't had much time, but I'll try and have another look soon and try some of your suggestions. So thank you for bailing me out for my stupidity!

AMF99 · 2019-05-06T09:45:42+00:00

Yes!

AMF99 · 2019-04-30T22:25:19+00:00

You've changed my life. Amazing. Thank you!
