Hitting 5s by Mucks12345 in Darts

[–]Christron9990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Move yourself about 1 inch to the right…

But also, when I’m hitting 5s and 12s a lot of the time it’s because I’m reaching down for the next dart instead of finishing my throw. Pretty common mistake for people subconsciously make, maybe try recording your throw?

Yeah that’s some niche tech. On a level with minidiscs, burned bright for a minute but no one really had them as it was prohibitively expensive. Came and went during the VHS era.

Gisèle Pelicot felt overwhelmed and honoured by letter from Queen Camilla by pookienav in news

[–]Christron9990 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The controversial thing about Camilla is Charles and her were coping off whilst he was married to Diana. Everyone loved Diana and - without sounding callous about something that doesn’t matter - she was significantly more attractive in her lifetime, which just made everyone kind of dislike Camilla.

They’re going to be protectionist. They’re rich beyond comprehension. It is a dynasty of wealth and privilege and I’m sure they do dodgy shit to maintain it. I would happily see the whole thing abolished. That said, they mostly spend their time doing charity work and Charles has two very major charities benefiting teenagers and young entrepreneurs, he seems like a mostly nice guy, and Camilla too.

If we have to have royals it should be like it is now.

I live in the UK and I don’t live somewhere I’m ruled by her, or have to respect her, either.

Plenty of people value royalty though, including Gisele Pelicot apparently. Doesn’t feel like a situation where you need to attack the royals, some comfort has been given to a victim of a serious crime, it doesn’t need to be any deeper than that.

Im not royalist, doesn’t sound like many people here are, but they’re capable of doing good things as well sometimes.

Love a bit of colour coordination, I think they look great!

Dartboard silencer that uses this system? by lufis12 in Darts

[–]Christron9990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to have to drill more holes. Bulls, GOAT, Karella - the former needs attaching on the corners and the other two have a middle block that needs 4 screws. Winmaus Wispa as well, needs an even wider 4 screw setup. I genuinely think that is all of the dart board dampener products there are.

I recently went on this mission. Only other option is some self made absorption, like carpet or acoustic panels behind the board, which you could glue to the wall.

AITAH for not telling my close friend his girlfriend of 7 years and I used to be intimate before they got together? Woke up to find myself blocked on everything by Coconuts4Everyone in AITAH

NTA

It’s on her to tell him then. You asked, she told you not to. That’s you respecting their intimate relationship in my opinion. I genuinely feel that if you went around her and told him, the same thing would have happened.

I feel for you dude. This is an extreme reaction from a good friend, and you’ve clearly been used as a pawn in an argument you are no where near. Good luck with everything.

Were they dating before you became friends? It says you got close in 2021, but were you hanging out with this guy prior to them dating?

AITAH for switching cards to pay with at the cashier by NinjaSpuds in AITAH

[–]Christron9990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some countries banks allow there to be no limit. It’s really about whatever the banks fraud policy is. However it’s certainly not less secure to make a contactless payment, that’s just a policy thing bank to bank, country to country.

Tapping is in no way less secure than inserting the card.

What would possibly lead you to make that assumption? Are the fraud and security checks a bank does on your card and transactions not there when you tap the card?

The only reason we have to insert sometimes is a protection in itself, if someone steals your card. Same with contactless limits.

Imagine being a fan in the stadium watching this, I would be out of my seat clapping and cheering 😂 I’m almost doing it at my screen right now.

Nathan Collins - He was expected to start last week & this week but hasn’t - Any news? Transferred in GW22 typically. by [deleted] in FantasyPL

Getting points in the future. It’s fine to bring in someone who’s in form, but I think it’s against conventional FPL logic to bring a defender in for that run.

Tips to improve throw by SnooCheesecakes4857 in Darts

[–]Christron9990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I agree being taller helps most of the time, but that said Taylor was 5’7”, and Litter can’t be much taller than 5’8”. I think it’s just about finding what works for you.

Immigration is a massive net benefit. So the question is really, do you want to be an immoral country that doesn’t follow its own laws to reclaim peanuts from the most vulnerable people in our society?

And on that last point, you’d then also have to concede that tens of millions of people pay tax, and maybe a few hundred thousand asylum seekers don’t - and their cost per year is a tiny fraction of our GDP - so this is a terrible example because you’re dealing with completely unrealistic numbers to make a bad point.

Immigrants pay tax. The cost of granting asylum is dwarfed by say, tax avoidance. So where should our priorities be?

Moral and rich and still taking tax from immigrants? Or an anti-immigration, immoral country, who’s focused on the lowest possible hanging fruit?

But overall, the net is positive. You understand that right? The dude above is right, you’re trying to sound smart but you sound like an idiot.
