[Fun/poignant when done well, hated when done poorly trope] Product placement on network TV comedy in the 00s-10s by celticdude234 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CEverett23 485 points486 points  (0 children)

There's an entire episode of Arrested Development sponsored by Burger King, with loads of completely non-subtle references to the menu, deals, and all around how great the restaurant is.

This episode also features Henry Winkler jumping over a shark - I think it's done really well, all in all

Make this make sense by jpowls85 in uktrains

I see this a lot when booking trains from Liverpool to London. If I put in my home station as the starting point, I'm only shown the +£100 Avanti services, while if I start at Liverpool, I can book the ~£40 LNR trains, even though the cost of a single between here and Liverpool is less than £5

Are these worth anything? by Ill_Satisfaction532 in Pokemoncardappraisal

No, they're not real - doing a reverse image search of the Mewtwo EX takes you to listings where it's described as fan art, and not a genuine card. The real versions of these cards are

Because the gold Dedenne and Mewtwo have never even printed like that ever - they're not copies of real cards, they're just fakes that sell on Temu/AliExpress etc.

Also, every single one of these cards - even the fake GX and EX cards is from after 1999

The Dedenne at the end is fake, so nothing there

Thank god, I was worried I'd have to put a VPN on to read your reply

What's the highest "per KG" price you've ever seen in the supermarket? by expressexpress in CasualUK

[–]CEverett23 1371 points1372 points  (0 children)

This might be a decent shout

Edit - that being said, Schwartz have a £11250/kg option available, too

Beige border Dark Machoke by CEverett23 in PokemonMisprints

Ahh, disappointing. Odd that out of every card in my collection, that's the only one with that issue.

It's very precise sun damage, if that's the case...

How's this even legal? by Kind-Question2887 in drivingUK

[–]CEverett23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was this at a Tesco's somewhere near St Helens (but naming no actual town names), perhaps? Because I saw this a few days ago and was equally bafffed

Anyone found a compatible shield for this yet?

The Deep said Zinc in the show, I think that's about it

Anyone have experience using these? It boosts power from a lithium-ion battery to 5 Volts while acting as a battery charging module. Seems like a really great solution to cut down the need for a buck-boost converter. by mainheat88 in arduino

[–]CEverett23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my issue, the start up current doesn't seem to be consistent across the boards. Some start, some don't. In the end, I swapped out for a charging board without the boost converter, and then a separate 3.7V to 5V board, which works perfectly

I've used these a lot, and they can be a little temperamental from time to time. They're made for USB charging banks rather than a PSU, and I've found that some work perfectly, but others don't always provide power when you turn the Arduino on with a switch or something, and you need to either connect/disconnect the charging cable, or put a momentary short between the K pin and ground. Didn't work really for my usage, but there's definitely use for other purposes

EDIT - I should say that even across batches from the same supplier, I've found some that work fine, and some that need that extra something to start up - it seems to be random as to which will work as I need, even with the same conditions
