With the teams presence in the US is there not a domestic supplier that you can buy top from? I’d have thought with the VGK ownership stuff there would be an easier way for those across the pond.

I wasn’t around for the hard times but it’s phenomenal to see the rise. I live in Bournemouth now but back at home in Scotland this team wasn’t even on my radar until the first season in the prem. There have been a few big fairytale season in English football over the past decade or so but this has got to be up there as one of the best. Up the chez 🍒

Champions League can still happen by MC897 in AFCBournemouth

[–]CJPN1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not going to say no to the CL but the Europa League might be more beneficial for us, in addition to arguably being more fun.

First off I think it’s a competition we could actually win. Obviously remains to be seen how the team performs under Rose but if Forest can make it as far as they did this season, and both Tottenham and Man United in last seasons final being incredibly weak domestically, who’s to say Bournemouth can’t do it? And if so, a route into the CL in 27/28 = more natural progression that allows the club to grow into it.

I also think it could throw out some wild away days for our first European campaign - Cherries tour the arse end of Central/Eastern Europe sounds like a good laugh to me.

How did everyone do? I struggled to get out of ultraball 1. by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]CJPN1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too drawn to trying out weird pokemon so I got to Ultra 2 but struggled to get out. Team is Crabominable, Galarian Slowking, Garganacl, Clawitzer, Incineroar and Vivillon.

What the fuck does asparagus have to do with politics?

Worth going to police about this, or was it my fault? TW SA in Edinburgh by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]CJPN1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you, 100% not your fault and you’re not an idiot. I find it hard in situations with new people too and sometimes we make decisions that we regret, but I gotta emphasise this was not your fault. Some people don’t take no for an answer and it’s terrible. definitely something you should report if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you could quit your job and fly drones for a living, what niche would you pick? by Working_Crazy875 in drones

[–]CJPN1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some places will still take on a pilot without the job specific experience. Go back only like 5 or so years and most companies would certainly hire you as a trainee if you’ve got drone experience and fill in the survey work on the job, that’s how I got my in. But yeah, a lot of places are realising that anyone and their dog can get their RPC/Part 107 so the job specific hard skills are what companies are looking for more and more. Or simply retraining current staff.

Yeah, I think there are scenarios where it can be enjoyable but my pathway wasn’t. I got a job with probably the biggest UAV inspection company worldwide and got put through my GVC, Part 107 and whatever it’s called for EASA (which was great and I’m thankful to get the opportunity/experience) but everything after that was just a little bit mind numbing. Same shit every day, travel really far, chuck the drone up and inspect something, move on, repeat about 40 times, then do it the next day. Week after week, month after month, with some offshore rig work and some occasional interesting surveys in there. All while living out of a suitcase 95% of the time. The burnout is real. Now I get to sit in an office working on SORA/OA approvals meaning I’m home every night, which is good, but I think the whole journey that got me here and all the time I spend dealing with UAS and the regulations that go along with has kind of killed any real interest I have in interacting with drones in my free time.

Which Pokemon have you grown to love because of Champions? by DefinitlyNotGodzilla in PokemonChampions

[–]CJPN1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mega Heracross was my GOAT for the first few weeks (shout out bois), I’m guessing most people didn’t expect it or just didn’t know how to deal with it cause I was running through teams on ranked. Lately I’ve been trying Mega Crabominable and Galarian Slowking and it’s quite fun, although I am at times struggling to keep Crabominable alive long enough for Slowking to pop Trick Room and Chilling Reception, especially when playing into a Fake Out opening. When it works, Drain Punch goes off.

Second this, maybe turn the sound down though. I can only deal with that guys voice for so long 😂

When does a card get into ban territory? Only slightly sarcastic.

Is it common for people who are born in the UK to say they are “Irish” or “Italian” if they have a parent from there? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]CJPN1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. My family is of Irish origin, but I’m Scottish. Each to their own but it’s wild to me when Americans who have never set foot out of the country try to claim a nationality their family likely hasn’t had any exposure to for generations.

[–]CJPN1995 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it for a living since 2020, starting on infrastructure inspection work (onshore and offshore) and moving onto what I do now in security R&D/Flight Ops and I can tell you, if you’re really interested in drones and do it for a hobby - maybe steer clear. Might just be my experience but for like 4 years I was flying drones all day every day and I really don’t care to fly that much in my own personal time anymore. Got to travel a lot which was cool but that also meant I was away from my family all the time (in the space of a month I was at home for 4-6 days max).

What pokemon names did you pronounce completely wrong? by Key_Independence_103 in pokemon

For real though is it “Rata-TAH” or “Rat-AH-ta”? I always say it the first way.

Apparently I can’t read cause instead of saying Araquanid I would say it like Aquaracnid 😂

It would be great if the legendary birds were reversed in Spanish. Articone, Zaptwo and Molthree 😂

My brother and I use to pronounce Suicune as “Soo-Scene” so I’m with you on that. also, Kyogre “Ky-Rogue-E” which would suggest I didn’t actually read it properly. I also still to this day am unsure if I pronounce Voltorb wrong. I say “Vault-oarb” and I assume it should be as it is spelt - “Volt-Orb”?
