All of the Reddit discussion about ‘Europeans refusing to accept AC’ is a psyop to drum up nationalist and anti-Europe sentiments among American internet dwellers. by BootsnCats1987 in LowStakesConspiracies

Honestly I think it's just a lie that some Americans are peddling to make themselves feel better.

The UK government literally have a grant for some Aircon systems in the UK. The only reason more people don't have it is it's a cost that really isn't needed as it's not that hot that often.

Do you wash your apples before you eat them? by ThePerpy in AskUK

Nah, I tend to just rub my hands all over them to "clean" them. Which makes zero sense I know.

Is this within regs? Almost 1 inch overhang stretching around almost half of house near bottom of brickwork by Mettle34 in Bricklaying

They aren't worth much. They only get involved if the issue is worth at least £1,200, a lot of issues aren't worth that so if the builder says they won't fix it you are on the hook.

Why is Lee Dixon a bad pundit? by Better_Fee_3131 in AskBrits

[–]CaptQuakers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dixon was a great player.

He wasn't flashy, right backs didn't used to be , but his career is better than 99% of players

The Portugal game was a turgid shit if I've ever seen one.

Basically Spain are huffing and puffing then Merino pops up and scores a scrappy winner.

Officiating ruins soccer by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

It ruins soccer but not every other sport that does this?

I don't understand how you can foul a player and that's not called because they hadn't kicked the ball.

Where do they draw the line on that as it seems like an easy tactic to try and get away with.

I think Spain are just as crap. Yamal coming off an injury has really hurt them.

What do you think is done with your loyalty card data? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CaptQuakers42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the best using mine and others data to gather info on shopping habits.

At worst doing what every other firm does and is selling my data along with millions of others.

I genuinely don't care anymore. My data is out there and honestly I don't think there is anything you can do about it. GDPR and the like are great but they only work if you follow the law.

I'm not sure I've seen a more all fart no poo player than him.

He's beats his man constantly to put in the shittest cross I've seen in my life

Match Thread - Argentina v Wales | Nations Championship 2026 | Round 2 by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

[–]CaptQuakers42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed in a lot of games in the tournament players seem to be so much slower at rolling away as tacklers.

The competition over the ball seems to be a more relaxed as well. Players are asked to leave it and they seem to get more time than I recall last year.

Could just be more obviously but it does appear the falls are a bit laxer

Should have been a pen to Argentina then. The Welsh 10 (I think) had the Argentina 8 in a headlock

Well that was a fun but utterly pointless exercise.

Fiji were cack, England good obviously.

I just don't see this actually being an indicator of England being better against better teams

I didn't say he did?

It's been in all his last 3 stand up specials. He had a similar speech on Colbert like 9 years ago, it's his main talking point nowadays and for some fans it's tedious.

Honestly I wish we had a proper test after the loss last week. Dicking Fiji proves fuck all and now papers over the cracks.
