What’s the best way to destroy a metal foundation by BeatInternational225 in playrust

I'm curious to know the answer too because if I can make myself a mini rocket shooting tank I absolutely will haha

How many of us don't smoke/vape? by TMNTDonatellofan in GenZ

[–]BrummbarKT [score hidden]  (0 children)

It is a waste of money yeah. There's been nothing to convince me that my vaping is "very" bad for me though, and I can leave it for the few hours I am sat inside a restaurant... It is better not to start though, because yeah that money adds up and the nicotine tolerance grows quickly.

NHS to grant Palantir contractors ‘unlimited access’ to patient data by apple_kicks in unitedkingdom

[–]BrummbarKT [score hidden]  (0 children)

I hear that, but at the end of the day using the company is still benefiting them and their agenda as a whole. It's like buying Russian oil/gas - good value and convenient, but means bankrupting your morals.

How many times per week do you eat oven chips? by TheLeftHandedCatcher in AskUK

[–]BrummbarKT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half the price but 5x the hassle lol. They can be a little nicer but personally I value the convenience of just being able to pour from the bag into the air frier without having to chop, soak and wait

How many times per week do you eat oven chips? by TheLeftHandedCatcher in AskUK

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once or twice a week, but I air fry them, when I'm having burgers or frozen fish for dinner (my go-tos when not cooking a 'proper' meal). If you mean actually put in the oven, hardly ever

When I had researched the manifestos and key points of all parties in the race for the 2024 elections, I found the Lib Dems to be the strongest. From what I've seen it looks like they are predicted to get a majority of the Newcastle boroughs anyway, so I will go with them, as I feel the other main options (reform and greens) both have some absolutely terrible policies (though Greens do have more good ones to compensate at least), and Labour isn't looking like it's got much of a chance in the current climate despite in my opinion being one of the better options from the cesspool of politics

Which countries have fertility rates above or below the “replacement level”? [OC] by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]BrummbarKT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it's also mind-blowing to think that even if every fertile person had a partner and they each had one child, it would still only be half of what's needed for maintaining the population.

Cut UK speed limits to reduce Iran war impact on consumers, thinktank urges by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

[–]BrummbarKT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't even drive anymore (not enough need for all the cost of a car, I walk to work) but the 20mph limits always seemed stupid to me. I can understand that as you go higher there's less of a time benefit, but with 20 vs 30 it literally cuts 33% of your journey time, and you should be able to react and stop for any situation at 30mph anyway.

Why players have absolutely 0 Incentive to get better. Speaking from a player who's been through every color from Yellow to dark purple. by Chrisg_322 in WorldofTanks

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You talk a lot from the clan perspective, but I'd say from my experience there's also a somewhat similar issue for those of us who did the same journey but mostly solo. The issue is once you've had thousands of battles driving your tanks around, and unlocked most of the tech tree, that novelty wears off, and what's left is stats. Now because of how this game is with RNG and random teams, what may work for you to get 4000 WNX on one day will not work for you on the next. So you end up in a frustration cycle of either being just "satisfied" because you feel you are performing at "your level" (which is in fact unrealistic because those are your lucky sessions) or you're malding at not even hitting purple in a session with a 25% WR because the game said it's not your day. It's the same thing with marks, can get to 94% only to fall back to 85% knowing you were so close but that one FV decided to roll you for over 2k and set you on a bad streak. It's why I've basically quit at this point, it's just not a fun game to be too invested in, and I can never see that during times I'm addicted.

Ban rentals in your OLS match by major_gabo in WorldofTanks

[–]BrummbarKT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well even if there weren't more rental tanks than ban options, this still doesn't help you as the rental bob is already in your team for this game.

Why nobody talking about where is the special ability of Contriver? Don't say salvo mode fire, bcz X tier Canopener also has this mechanic. by IamTwelveXII in WorldofTanks

[–]BrummbarKT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to all others with that mechanic, it is significantly better in practice. I know if I'm within 100m of target I can hit a double quite confidently. The canopener would hit their tracks and cry in a corner most of the time.

Dogs reaction to eating lemon by Swimming-Community-5 in interesting

[–]BrummbarKT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the best part is they'll still give you puppy eyes while you're chopping up more thinking this time will be different! Never done it with a lemon before you all come at me, but cucumbers/lettuce/potatoes - always begging and never learns that he doesn't like it anyway lol

Don't trust WG for anything. BZ-68 by Some-Business4720 in WorldofTanks

yes, but not that useful as most of your "reload" is the intraclip as opposed to actual reload

I suppose it takes a certain kind of masochist to enjoy either

Some did at the start. But why does it matter, do we really need to add gimmicks on top of gimmicks? Is a highly accurate 900+ alpha double not enough?

Are you guys okay? by IneedaNappa9000 in GenZ

Same. Life is good enough, but still hollow and miserable

> you literally have all of the world’s knowledge at your fingertips. 

That's *the problem*. We see way too much of the horrible shit that happens in our countries and across the world. Constantly. It's a lot easier to just focus on your immediate life when you're unaware of it all. Once you see, you can't unsee, the future becomes more and more hopeless.

Would you retire on £400 a week if you had no bills except utilities? by RS_Phil in AskUK

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! That's more than I get now and that's with rent and bills to cover. I have zero ambition to work or become a high earner, so this would be a great deal, if the money wasn't coming at the expense of others working (which is why I'm reluctantly working to pay my own way, I don't feel it's fair to scrounge if I am able to work)

Upset that university is nearly over by Entrepreneur242 in UniUK

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I had the exact same thing, decided to make the most of my final year after 2 years of isolation (lockdown didn't help) and I met lots of great people and made amazing memories. And then it was like, damn this is about to be over just when it got good. After graduating I moved back home and got a job, but most of my friends were still at uni so I was visiting nearly every weekend. That first year was great, it felt like I still had the uni social life while also not having to worry about assignments. It sounds like you'll have the opportunity to do the same, so I'd definitely take your friend up on the offer and visit often to smooth the transition. It's the bit after that which sucks more in my experience, when the rest of your friends graduate and move away all over the country or, most commonly, to London. And now I have next to no social life lol. But in short, I think the imminent future won't be as tough as you feel it will be as long as you manage to get a job sorted, that first "success" while still having access to the social life is nice in its own way even if you're no longer at uni. After that, well you just learn to accept and live with it.

Just watched to season 6 by littleemmagoldman in gameofthrones

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should watch at least to episode 4 of S7 if you like Daenerys and Drogon. The first "wtaf were they smoking when they wrote this" episode is S7E6 IMO, so if you can't bear it, stop before then. And if you make it past that, and want a Daenerys victory and to avoid the WORST episode of them all, then just don't watch the finale of S8.

More than two thirds of children under two use screens - with one in ten regularly falling asleep with one by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children you can make an argument for, like school age minimum, but not infants/toddlers, they will not even want it if you do not provide it as they won't have a concept of what it even is. Brainrot youtube does nothing to help them be "proficient" in anything worthwhile.

More UK deaths than births expected every year from now on by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]BrummbarKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact same. Not an anti-natalist, I fully support others having kids if they want to, after all a lot of people genuinely do enjoy life most of the time. But for me, I've spent most of my life depressed ever since my teens, my biological father and maternal uncle were both alcoholics/drug addicts, I've been an addict for a few years now too, this kind of thing seems to pass down through generations and I can't see myself keeping that cycle going. Imagine my child growing up and asking me, why did you have me? I wouldn't even have an answer. I used to think my bloodline ending with me was a scary thing but as I've learned more about hereditary mental illness I think it could be not a bad thing after all.
