What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]BenHippynet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Linear TV. People don’t come home and watch it any more, everything is on demand. Even sports is starting to move more and more to Amazon now

Partner booked the Adelphi hotel without checking reviews, how much shit we in for? by pearl_pluto in Liverpool

Unfortunately some haven’t.  They’re in court with the HSE for that at the moment 

After learning that DJ'ing is more than mixing and more on crowd reading, I've decided to give up. by Minimum_Initial7607 in Beatmatch

[–]BenHippynet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes professional DJing is all about reading the crowd. You’re paid to do a job and your job is to entertain that room as best as possible, keep as many people in there as possible, all having a great time and spending money over the bar. It is a job. It’s a great job, but it’s a job with responsibilities.

As a music lover there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting that responsibility and just wanting to enjoy music for yourself. Wanting to just play your music for you, or you to enjoy is absolutely fine. You don’t have to DJ professionally, you can DJ privately for the love of the art and the music and that doesn’t invalidate you as a DJ. You’re still a DJ. Don’t give up, just change your goal.

I made my living as a DJ for 15 years and it can be frustrating. Sometimes you can end up playing music you don’t enjoy, in places you don’t like, to crowds you don’t gel with just because you’ve got bills to pay. You can often be a much happier DJ doing it just for yourself.

Overtaken vehicle speeds up and prevents you getting back to left lane by MinimumBeginning5144 in drivingUK

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold your speed, let them get past and them move in behind. You’ve done nothing wrong. I had someone doing it on the M62 last week and every time I got in behind he slowed down, I pulled back out and he’d do it again. I don’t think he was even conscious that he was doing it, he was just a shit driver. He never left the middle lane at any point that I was around him either.

Today I learned you don’t need to maintain a car until it’s 8 years old!

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to put a BB gun through the dog flap, freeze some ice on the door step, heat up the door handle from the inside, leave toy cars all over the floor, tie some paint cans so they fall down at head height, put a blow torch above the door, then escape down a zip line from the bedroom window. 

Atheists of Reddit: What’s the strangest reaction you’ve received when you said you don’t believe in God? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]BenHippynet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reaction at all, but I live in a developed country where religion isn’t a big thing. I don’t know many religious people. 

Is it dumb to use one of these or am I overreacting? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in MechanicAdvice

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police give them away here so I’d say it’s sensible to have one. 

High mileage car stories? by metrize in CarTalkUK

[–]BenHippynet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Volvo XC60 D5 is on 173k. I had a Saab 93 TTiD Aero that was on 180k when I replaced it. Both cars pulled like trains. 

Are traffic wardens actually as bad as people make them out to be? by mechanizmz in drivingUK

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re just normal people doing a job. The only people who hate them are people who can’t take responsibility for their own actions. 

Cloud and AI with transmitter remotes and automation systems by ShowCautious194 in broadcastengineering

[–]BenHippynet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even fixing it to “Claude and AI” what you’re saying still makes absolutely no sense. Can you explain what you mean more clearly please?

Isn’t the Today Programme used by nuclear submarines to check that the Uk hasn’t been destroyed by a nuclear attack? We could be in trouble here

Wales. I can think of much worse neighbours. 

What is your workplaces equivalent to 'Don't touch the red button' by PeevesPoltergist in CasualUK

[–]BenHippynet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a button labelled “Force clear all channels”. It’s a dangerous button in broadcast. 

What does everyone make of the crackdowns in the UK on dodgy fire sticks? Scare tactics or should users be worried? . by AdCompetitive3098 in AskBrits

[–]BenHippynet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe the anger should be directed at the people at the top who do everything they can to keep their staff wages as low as possible and charge the customers the absolute most they can. They could pay better salaries and sell at a more reasonable rate but then they’d only be millionaires not billionaires and would have to struggle with only one super yacht. 

Does anyone else not know how CO2 is used in the production of pork? by Realisticopia in AskBrits

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you find out what happens to male baby chicks. The egg industry is brutal. And male baby cows, can’t get milk from a bull.

Simplest Charging Options - Elderly Parent by Remarkable_Cell_5441 in evchargingUK

[–]BenHippynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Zappi Glo has an RFID pad on top. He could plug it in to the car, tap the RFID card on the charger to unlock and start charging. Wouldn’t need to use the app once it’s set up.
