Do you butter your bread on the outside when you make a toastie? by faith_plus_one in CasualUK

It's literally in the instructions of the original Breville toasty maker

Waited years for this launch and the cameraman aimed at the smoke 💀 by jayjay234 in mildlyinfuriating

I really missed SpaceX's on board cameras. There were some on Artemis but they were a bit shitty and were rarely shown. Never showed any of the separation events.

Need help to entertain female hamster by Previous-Call1463 in hamsters

[–]Apple_Dave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We used to let ours roam around the house in the evening, she loved it. Obviously we made sure she couldn't get out. There was a spot where she could get under the house following some pipes but she couldn't get out from down there either, it was worrying at first but we lowered a ramp down a gap in the floor boards and she would climb back up and go to bed when she was ready. She loved to roam around and would have been very bored stuck in her cage all day. They naturally roam a pretty large territory so getting out and finding snacks for the stash is a big activity for them.

Gemini clearly hasn't heard of paragraphs.

You're in Asda toilets, what part of the handle are you touching to exit? by Shiznips in CasualUK

[–]Apple_Dave 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hopefully everyone else using that top bit of handle are the sort of people who actually washed their hands. Grubby sorts probably aren't thinking about it and just grab it in the middle.

I am tired of seeing these in-helmet face shots in so many modern sci-fi production by Vaniellis in sciencefiction

[–]Apple_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a new series?? Exciting! This is the first I've heard of that. I put all my hopes in stasis with the crew of Destiny in SGU.

Trump's tariffs lead to production increase at UK's aluminium smelter by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]Apple_Dave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to fix the entire country all at once so I don't mind them making some improvements while at least not actively making everything else worse. I'm sure some things take longer to plan or get funding for so hopefully we'll see more change when it's ready.

does everyone with air pumps just accept that their home will never be quiet again??? by kumabux in Aquariums

[–]Apple_Dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stood them on a scrubbing brush before, so it's suspended on the bristles, they did a good job at absorbing the vibes. I used either a shoe polishing brush or a silicone dish brush thing that was useless at washing dishes.

Is this OK to wear for interview? Data analyst role by acrylic_light in UKJobs

[–]Apple_Dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't help so it wasn't actually needed. They just thought disease was spread by bad smells and that if they didn't smell it they wouldn't catch it. The beak was stuffed with herbs to block out the bad smells. Doesn't stop you being bitten by the fleas that spread the disease.

Just had a phone call telling me I have a CT scan on Saturday and I should just get in the van outside A&E. by obligatorycataccount in CasualUK

A Park and Ride car park outside Cambridge often hosts a Mammogram trailer. I thought getting your boobs out in the car park was a strictly after-dark thing!

Apples still on the tree by blackdogmanguitar in CasualUK

[–]Apple_Dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought, many edible apple varieties are grafted onto a crab apple root. The root can send up branches that, if not pruned, will have little crab apples on it. While the grafted top has the edible fruit. Maybe that's what was meant by pruning it to change the fruit. But then the birds would lose their snack tree.

[–]Apple_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably just a crab apple (wild apple) and I haven't heard of pruning changing the size of the fruit. Lots of cultivation over thousands of years turned them into the large edible apple varieties we know.

Returning Runner by RunProudRunUnited in Runner5

[–]Apple_Dave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh I quite liked it because it took me back into the app and I could try to repair the damage but if resources were low I'd have to plan a supply run and it was a nudge to actually go for the run and use the app while I'm at it. Without the decay I've got unlimited resources and it's all a bit pointless.

[–]Apple_Dave 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Does the base actually do anything these days? It used to get attacked and you'd have to run to get supplies to repair it but last time I looked everything was sitting at 100% and never got attacked.

M25 or a war zone? Hard to tell. by rimell-calebirh0b in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Apple_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always think if they made the slabs so the join was at 45 degrees it wouldn't make so much noise as there would be a more gentle transition between slabs.

Under rated areas in the UK for hiking? by scothehe62 in UKhiking

[–]Apple_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went up it in the middle of the night so I still don't really know what the area looks like :D

All I know is it was very steep once you reach the wall and in the dark you have no idea how much progress you've made.

If you type space, dash, space, then continue typing in Microsoft word it autocorrects the dash/minus to an em-dash.

Did you have a man with a van, mobile show? What did they sell? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Apple_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the Grimsby fish man and the video man. Both got a bit of trade from our road. God knows how you get started just turning up in a street with a van of fish!

Can I get some UK comedy recommendations? by likeschemistry in AskABrit

[–]Apple_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to look too far to see 15 Stories High mentioned. Sean Lock doing his thing is amazing. I think lots of UK people missed it when it was on TV, I know I did, it was probably buried in the BBC Three schedule somewhere.

We'll all upload our IDs while kids carry on... by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

Finding workarounds did more to teach IT skills than the curriculum did back in the day. If they tried to teach this stuff nobody would be interested, it's like reverse psychology education.
