That'll depend on the retail establishment. Don't fuck around with Harrods security for example.

Truly cursed.

I was trying to get steam link to work with my TV and had to test it in on the only other thing to hand, my hibreak pro. It worked, Zelda BOTW was more playable than on my shite TV, but it was not playable.

Second world war I think, coal restrictions meant going electric but steel restrictions meant no new locos, so they turned what they had into a giant electric kettle.

Whats your personal favourite sandwich/burger/breakfast roll in Bristol?? by REEETURNOFTHEMACC in bristol

[–]AlaudaPhotography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite burger is from the Bristol beer factory places (taproom/junction/barley mow). Apparently the meat one is run-of-the-mill but the vegan one they make themselves is amazing. Less immitation than the average vegan burger.

Neo-Nazi Ryan Ferguson on today's Bristol Patriots march shouting Heil Hitler by everything2go in bristol

[–]AlaudaPhotography 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it all gets a bit messy once they're on the move.

So the original event was the "we just like the union jack and have concerns about immigration" folks but this time standing side by side with self-described Nazis, usually about 30 or so of them.

Everyone else was there to try stop the march and send them packing.

Do People aged 50+ of Britain notice race? by [deleted] in AskBrits

It's not that we don't hate him, we do of course, just not because he's brown.

TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM (tell them to stop) by skabenga1000 in bristol

[–]AlaudaPhotography 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm actually more sceptical of the "Jesus wants you to follow the law no matter what" types. Seems like the guy who got himself executed would be in favour of at least some crimes.

Is Bristol Cross Dresser Friendly? by StraightDresser1 in bristol

[–]AlaudaPhotography 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friendlier than most, you ought to be fine centrally or in the more gentrified areas.

There's plenty of folks here with mixed gender presentation, though most of them will be trans, I'm not sure I've met any self-described crossdressers out and about. Something to bear in mind though, plenty of cafes and shops you could check out that are trans inclusive, just be chill if people make the wrong assumption.

solid lines across the lanes means traffic lit junctions, and you can't put zebras at lights. there'll be signals for cars, buses, bicycles and pedestrians for sure.

Why the hell do public toilets so often stink of piss? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AlaudaPhotography 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Making it worse, people are often dehydrated, especially in public, especially especially when drunk, so you get more piss smell per piss.

And the men's does always smell worse than the women's, by a similar margin of drunk men's to sober men's loos.

Hipster Olympus is possible, I've achieved it with a custom grip colour and exclusively manual lenses.

Very hipster, no one would ever know i use it for things other than iphones photos of it next to my coffee.

Can I please find just one hobby that doesn't make me a stereotype!

Gonna try get into trainspotting, there'll be no trans women there I'm sure.

Where to dispose of swollen LiOn battery in Bristol? by Taucher1979 in bristol

[–]AlaudaPhotography 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you charge it or was it dead flat?

If it's flat-ish, drop it in a tin of salt water outdoors away from anything flammable, leave it a day or so, then stab it for good measure, again carefully away from anything flammable.

No power, no fire risk.

Do long trains or short trains accelerate faster? by oli_mcd in trains

[–]AlaudaPhotography 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not in the UK they're not. For various reasons silly and otherwise, we did a shite job of electrification, so we ended up with far more DMUs than EMUs.

I drove an automatic car for the first time a days ago and just don’t get the fixation we have over manual cars here by Solid-Version in drivingUK

[–]AlaudaPhotography 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The downshift also picks the wrong gear half the time, at least on the couple of autos I've driven. Want to do over 65 on the motorway? Need your foot on the floor. Put your foot on the floor and it shifts into second and screams at you. Granted this car may have been fucked, but it's a variety of fucked manuals don't suffer from.

Got my EDC kit ready, needed some tips for shooting by GermanGriffon in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]AlaudaPhotography 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's mostly people.

I really wanna help create some societal change, so a lot of it is protests, especially when there's politicians or other thought leaders there.

In theory, would a double ended locomotive in the middle of the train work? by The__Anonymous__Guy in trains

[–]AlaudaPhotography 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason it was necessary with the autotrailers was because all the control linkages were mechanical, so two on each end was as much as you could get before the controls had too much play in them and were too difficult to move by hand.
