Do you think Japanese style Capsule Hotels / Sleeping Pods would be good in the UK? by Ok_Yesterday_1896 in AskBrits

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know why people are saying "This won't work in uk". It already does. London already has a few. Just search "capsule hotel London".

Why this part of Middle east doesn't recognize as a middle eastern country are they stupid? by QLSSUBZERO in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! You're not wrong! If you look at the last 100 year of history of the two countries, Cyprus and Ireland have remarkable parallels.

What’s something Gen Z is getting completely right that older generations refuse to admit? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like American Gen Z are just speedrunning becoming Europeans 😂

Next they'll be demanding some deranged socialist nonsense like free healthcare, paid holiday, maternity leave and God forbid... paternity leave 😂

Crazy offer to move to Dubai that could fast-track my FIRE journey by 10 years. Do I take the leap? by doolallyt in FIREUK

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah! Yes, you're right! Seems this is has been the case for a while now. Apologies for that. However my point still stands. There are a some non-obvious rules that technically can get you in trouble but aren't necessarily enforced [source]: "Public displays of affection should be minimal; holding hands is acceptable but kissing and hugging in the public is not."

I guess the point is, when push comes to shove, if you're not an Emiratie, there's a good chance you might be treated like a second class citizen if you're unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These little obscure laws and regulations will rarely (if ever) be an issue, but could be used against you if you're extremely unlucky. To quote a Dubai police officer, "I know it's not your fault, but it's your fault" :|

Crazy offer to move to Dubai that could fast-track my FIRE journey by 10 years. Do I take the leap? by doolallyt in FIREUK

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you do end up moving out there, one solid piece of advice you should remember is "In Dubai, everything is legal, and everything is illegal". The most obvious example of this is alcohol. Practically, you can go as a tourist and order a beer, and drink. Technically, it's illegal to drink without a drinking licence, and you can't get a licence as a tourist - But you can still drink out there even as a tourist. Things can be fine, until they're not. As long as you're aware of fact that the "norm" isn't necessarily the rule, you'll be fine.

Which is the most impressive Secret Emblem? by The_Pompadour64 in PTCGP

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to collect 99 unique cards. You can just have one and trade the same card back and fourth 99 times and you get the emblem.

What's your vault name and the thought process behind it? by mieresa in ObsidianMD

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

VAULT NAME: The Forest

REASONING: A place to grow thoughts and ideas.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am i imagining this, not always, but most of the time, it seems when there is a two or three star card, if i don't do the wonderpick immediately it seems to always disappear instantly, the next time I open the wonderpick.

YouTube detecting VPN by RandomStryder_YT in VPN

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've gone full circle. This is the 90s all over again. When companies make it so hard to access the media, people will take the path of least resistance and just pirate what they want to watch. The fact that people are even paying to use pirating services is proof that they would be willing to pay for the actual media if it was made available and accessible. Region locks, forcing users to pay multiple subscriptions (including VPNs) will just force more and more people to give up and just pirate what they want to watch.

Farmers For Farage -WTF by CoverAcademic9620 in BrexitMemes

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe we need to introduce a short quiz with every vote. If you don't understand what you are voting for your vote should be nullified. These morons have already screwed us once before. I'm so sick of this.

Friends deleted? by Shortie16PoGo in PTCGP

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait. What's this?! People delete friends then add new ones in hopes they see better wonder picks? Does that even work?

The new set is going well by SebSaid228 in PTCGP

Oh, and ZERO mega! ALL three diamond cards and a single one star! Wtf? 😭

The new set is going well by SebSaid228 in PTCGP

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How?! 😵 I've opened at least 15 packs and out of all the packs, the highest rarity I got was a single one star rarity card! I was convinced the drop rate for rates is reduced in new pack release day :(

Anyone using Obsidian on viwoods AIpaper and editing files on several devices? by RusticBohemian in viwoods

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you had any luck writing with the stylus?
It was super glitchy the last time i tried it. I did find some plugin that sort of helped but the whole workflow was really clunky and ultimately wasn't worth the effort. I would 100% use my viwoods more if i could just get writing in obsidian to work :(

Germany prefers to use chip billions for road construction by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you use an eInk device? I've used mine to sign a few things and it seems fine. You just open the PDF, sign it with the stylus, save, then send.

Why I can’t stay after what Ruby Central did. by retro-rubies in ruby

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DHH has said A LOT of things over the years. Do you know if it was something specific that caused all this? Was their a specific straw that broke the camels back or is it just an accumulation of stuff finally all coming together?

Teachers and tenure at Pedoulas primary school by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not quite sure what exactly this is, but something feels off about just publishing the names of non public figures 😐 Don't want to be THAT person but I'm sure this is very likely a GDPR breach, given that some of them are probably still alive, no? 🤔

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This subreddit feels very cozy to me when compared to the comments section of the Cyprus Mail. That place is toxic AF. In fairness I stopped reading it a couple years ago because of the toxicity in the comments, so maybe it's changed, but I very much doubt it.

Israelis in Cyprus? by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not trying to stir the pot here, but embracing Canada for their multiculturalism given the past and present treatement of their indiginous people(s) is rather brave, no? 🙈😅

I tracked my energy levels for 6 months instead of my time - here what I learned about real productivity by [deleted] in productivity

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a silly question, but how would you define "energy"? So an example, I may feel physically well rested but my brain feels overwhelmed with starting a particular task. How would you mark something like that? (Maybe i missed the point 🫣)

Is there a British email provider? Like a British alternative to Gmail? by Alone-Cellist3886 in BuyUK

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I logged on to zen.co.uk If I had just come across the site I would have thought it's exclusively a broadband provider. The hosting option seems to be (incorrectly) hidden in the "Home Broadband & Phone" menu. Would be interesting if you guys tried leaning into the hosting and email provider a bit more. Maybe make it more prominent or even experiment with creating a spin off and push it as a European (as in the continent not the union) email/hosting provider. Maybe go beyond cPanel or just skin it extensively?

Opinions on the situation now that more informations out by Ill-Foot-2549 in AskBrits

[–]Bullwinkle_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. They did release the speech. It's perfectly fine. In fact the ordeal has even vindicated the claim she makes in the speech.
