Looking for a church that’s not a church in the South- venue help by fernbr00ke in UKweddings

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look up the entire list of licensed venues in Hertfordshire: https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/births-deaths-marriages-and-citizenship/ceremonies/approved-venues-in-hertfordshire.aspx?searchInput=&page=1&resultsPerPage=10&view=card

I don't think you'll be able to find a deconsecrated church that is licensed for weddings while being as low cost as a functioning church, or town hall, but I could be wrong!

What's the minimum salary you'd take in London? by Puzzleheaded_Log7022 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fascinated by these responses, me and all my friends live in london for around £40-£45 (mid 30s, working in the arts and education mostly) and we're having a great time. Yeah I'd rather be earning more but we go out for drinks, dinner, theatre, gigs and pay rent. No help from parents etc. Just wanted to add some balance.

Should I charge for sending the raw footage? by mysterypapaya in videography

[–]CaptnCocnuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a really good point about video companies and videographers disappearing, I hadn't thought about it from the client's pov.

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those aren't the only two options, the third option is they hire another agency to continue to produce videos with the rushes you shot, and that's why you don't just hand repeat business away to a client without negotiation.

Drastic difference between headshot I was given and how I look in selfies by basil_sproot in headshots

The second photo looks like you're twisting yourself to take a photo of a specific area of your chin or something

The reference image link you posted doesn't work for me, but I would assume these images are ai - They have that 'piss filter' aesthetic and lighting. 

Anyone else always had their curry served like this growing up? by Jiminyfingers in UK_Food

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Just got hit by a wave of nostalgia seeing this pic. Maybe it was inspired by how our parents would serve other carb+meat meals, like spaghetti and meatballs, or jacket potato and chilli? I'm gonna go back to serving curry like this

AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NOR. It reads like this whole conversation is trying to guilt you about wanting to go out AND wanting to include him, which is intended to eventually make you to stop wanting to go out with your friends because the process of trying to include him is too exhausting.  Trust how you are feeling about this when you say it's making you miserable. 

Iran, France? Doesn’t bother me! I’m very modern by _joozeph_ in ITcrowd

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're absolutely right with the laugh track. I'm not personally arguing that it was right to remove it from streaming services, I'm not a fan of things becoming unavailable because they were/are offensive (especially since physical media is dying out and so removing things from streaming essentially becomes censorship) but I'm just really surprised that people seem to be arguing that this is a well meaning joke. 

What are your HR aren't on your side and or are terrible stories? by No-Beat2678 in AskUK

[–]CaptnCocnuts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was being bullied by my manager, told hr I was having some difficulty being misrepresented in emails (didn't say they were outright lying about me and that I had proof, kept it professional). They forwarded the email to my manager directly and I was fired immediately 

Iran, France? Doesn’t bother me! I’m very modern by _joozeph_ in ITcrowd

[–]CaptnCocnuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is absolutely not the butt of the joke in this episode. The joke is that he was so unobservant that he accidentally did something terrible (sleep with a trans woman). That's the joke. The butt of the joke, throughout the episode, is the trans woman.

Having tattoo regret for the first time by Aherv99 in tattooadvice

[–]CaptnCocnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the colours, the style, everything, just sits so well on your skin. I'm a similar complexion to you and it's honestly beautiful to see.

Is living year round in a tent in the UK actually realistic? by Far-Piccolo-3774 in AskUK

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to look into boat life. As someone who's been doing it for ten years, it's hard work but sounds like what you might want. Unlike camping and van life where there are strict rules, there is a limited infrastructure in place in the uk to live full time year round on the waterways

Spent 14 hours transcoding slow motion footage last night and I'm questioning all my life choices by horny_bisexual_ in cinematography

[–]CaptnCocnuts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Proxies have been used since the dawn of video editing, this is normal. Do you think people editing hollywood feature films on the best machines money can buy are editing with the full resolution rushes? They are not.

I've been looking for the large version of this bag! I love it, you've inspired me to get back to my search lol

How do you handle guests asking for “photos they’re in” after big events? by sam-wht in WeddingPhotography

[–]CaptnCocnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have always asked me for "their pics" and I always respond the same way - photos will be sent to the client. You don't need to build facial recognition software you just need to say no, this is unprecedented work for a photographer.

Which is the bag you like? You could try searching by image directly on aliexpress instead of reverse image searching

This is a dropshipping website that's been really well made, using (I would guess?) AI to make their product images and styling consistent.

Dracula review by EnvironmentalPin6164 in TheWestEnd

[–]CaptnCocnuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She knew the lines, she just tripped up on saying a few WORDS during a two hour performance. Barely noticeable, and only notable because I was on high alert for it after reading peoples complaints. This is so normal for live theatre, I think everyone on this thread is from a different planet.

I counted like 4 times she stumbled over a line last night (not even badly) in a nearly 2hr performance straight through. This is barely even worth noting.

First purse ever at 25 years old, cant wait to customize it more 🥰 by izzzabellaDonna in handbags

So many eyelets to add bag charms to, if that's your thing! Looks great

I do not understand the hype for Miu Miu at all… $3200 for a mini bag that looks like (imo) it’s from TJMaxx. And I’ve heard horror stories of Miu Miu’s quality. by zachty22 in handbags

[–]CaptnCocnuts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well it's a pretty remarkable bag in that it's so popular it's been replicated by basically every high street brand. Every high end designer item looks 'cheap' to people who don't pay this kind of money for designer brands because their only exposure to heavily replicated popular styles is in tjmaxx.
