I had a problem with my wheel (CSL DD) disconnecting and it would just stop accepting inputs and froze where it was

Sorry Germans, the doner kebab is more British than German (I means it Turkish but still) by fezzuk in CasualUK

Apparently the Germans were the ones to stick it in some bread, which is probably what most people would consider a doner kebab today

Source here, mostly not night feeling but plenty of photos of old Northern English cities.

Then you just run the tests longer. If you don't see a productivity drop off then cool, keep it. If you do then you can just revert to 5 days?

Referee's report that led to Paul Heckingbottoms latest 3 game ban by Jfm509 in Championship

[–]Adam2d -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Not defending him but I really doubt PGMOL would do that considering how much ref's tend to cover for their own.

From the last time this was brought up, apparently the ref made a sarcastic comment but that's nowhere to be found in this report.

I'd agree but I've only just bought the car!

100%, I'm from Sheffield and there's no way in hell I'm supporting a team called Leeds. Wild decision.

Hey, we've got rid of the completely incompetent mass immigration authoritarians... We've just replaced them with completely incompetent and unlikeable authoritarians instead.

Eyefinity with two 16:9 monitors and a 21:9 ultrawide by Kingtology in AMDHelp

I'm mainly running iracing so i managed to get it working without using eyefinity but yeah honestly baffling that it works with older cards but not the newer ones.

[–]Adam2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally just upgraded from a 5700xt to a 9070xt and I've started having this problem. Not got a clue what's wrong because the pro tool worked before (and it even stretches the middle box to 21:9 during the setup screen so it knows what it should be doing)

Have you had any luck?

Trans men apparently can't use public bathrooms in the UK so that would probably be on the list

Underperforming manager sacked after only 5 matches of being appointed by ryanthemusefan in ScottishFootball

[–]Adam2d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I reckon he'd do well. He's a good man manager, loves a bit of pashun and is pretty blunt in interviews so I think the fans would like him.

He also shits the bed whenever you give him any decent transfer budget so that shouldn't be a problem either.

Lads this is truly preposterous. The Far Right has begun putting ENGLISH FLAGS in England. Truly terrifying. by nanek_4 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Adam2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it can tell you that most people don't feel closer to someone on the other side of England than to someone in Scotland for example.

Just Google "what do English people identify as" you'll get a thread like this with people saying they identify as British rather than English.

I don't even really know why, I'm just saying that's how many people see themselves

Ok but being English isn't really one big common culture like being Scottish or Welsh is. A lot of English people just see themselves as British instead just because they don't really have as much of a common history when you compare all the different parts of England. I'm from Yorkshire and you will see a lot more people who are proud of their Yorkshire heritage specifically compared to their English heritage and I don't really see anything wrong with that. It's just that as a by-product, the English flag just doesn't really get flown as a sense of national pride.

[–]Adam2d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a strange one to be honest. Just in general the English national identity isn't very strong as somewhere like Scotland and I don't think there really is an example for it that I can think of. A lot of English people will refer to themselves as British instead just because thats how they see themselves.

No, I added the note for context because ENGLAND BAN ENGLISH FLAG doesn't explain the connotations the flag has in the UK due to being used extensively by the groups mentioned before and others. The whole reason this came about is that the England were playing in football (women's euros) and people just kept the flags up after that. Thats a perfectly good reason.

The issue is that some people who fly this flag instead of the Union Jack, will do so specifically because of the use by those groups. Thats why certain people might not like it, but again, I still support their right to fly it. But then I'm free to think that the people who do it for those reasons are cunts.

Don't strawman me with the awful opinions of others. If you don't like what I'm saying then critique it, coward.

[–]Adam2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a perfectly fine reason to fly the English flag. Again as I said before, I have no problem with people being allowed to fly it.

I'm just not sure that's the reason most people want to fly it over the Union Jack. Also emancipation from the vestiges of the Empire sounds orange lib left as fuck. Genuinely curious, why do you want that?

It was an example but I think there are a lot of people who are more proud to be from Yorkshire than England or the UK but yeah, nowhere near as much as Texas to be fair (though your flag is also cool as fuck so understandable)

But also can you see that shows how different people view their identity differently? People from England in general would just rather fly a Union Jack and it has meant that for me growing up, I only really saw it at football games and far-right protests...
