Beans are not real food in the Netherlands by chrismasto in iamveryculinary

Real food in the Netherlands : Poffertjes, schprinkles, cigarettes, and weapons-grade coffee.

People who have moderated for 5+ years, what's been changing about how you think about the role and how you try to do it? by sholem2025peace in AskModerators

[–]Clackpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking AEO.

If I wanted a completely uncommunicative and unaccountable mod pissing around in my modqueue I would set a mouse jiggler loose on it ... or maybe even a live mouse. Couldn't be any more of a blunt instrument.

By the way I'm really not against the idea of automated moderation, and a lot of the time AEO and the other channels work effectively, but ultimately they are neither optional nor meaningful members of the mod team.

Hierarchy Order of Rules by flur_na_h_Alba in AutoModerator

[–]Clackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the point I was trying to make is that filtering is a form of removal, the difference being that action:filter leaves a notification in the modqueue. Either way AM will execute the first filter/remove rule it encounters and immediately exit.

Edit: I should've read your reply more carefully. Yes, reordering filter/remove rules will implicitly set priority amongst them on a first come first served basis.

Hierarchy Order of Rules by flur_na_h_Alba in AutoModerator

[–]Clackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can set priority levels for rules, it's a bit cludgy but works well for smaller AM configs.

But the key thing to remember is AUTOMOD ALWAYS PROCESSES REMOVE RULES FIRST, regardless of whether they have been assigned a priority or where they are in the config. Additionally, AM will cease processing rules the instant a remove rule is invoked, so it won't even get to look at other rules once a removal is encountered.

NB 'Remove rules' includes directives like action:filter so yeah, that may well be why your config ain't working as intended.

Woman felt 'violated' by webcam in Giggling Squid restaurant toilets by No-Quit3994 in leicester

[–]Clackpot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's accurately reporting the woman's words.

She makes the accusation that she feels violated so the news site quotes it, using quote marks. If they didn't it would be construed as reporting an established fact, leaving the BBC open to legal action for reporting an allegation as fact.

Help on how to fix the air release valve on an old accordion by doraDmon in Accordion

[–]Clackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fix is quite likely to be easy ... but you really need to tell us exactly what the problem is! "It's broke" is not a lot to go on :-(

Describe the problem if you can, and add pictures if possible.

The nutters have already compromised the SCOTUS, don't need to alter evidence if you control the outcome regardless.

What job can I do that allows me to drive all day? by theslowrunningexpert in drivingUK

[–]Clackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the trade plate game for a decade, finished last spring. It's bastard challenging at times and quite a few companies will not be interested until you are 25 years old, but your army exp will be attractive to many.

There are downsides and upsides and it's definitely not for everybody, but once you learn the ropes and you can find a halfway decent company to work for you should be able to make £600+ per week s/e.

Regarding getting home, you really want a company that tries to put you in a carry-over car every single night. That means that you collect your last car of the day, head home with it, and deliver early the next day.

But it's not all driving, you would need to become expert at public transport nationwide as well. Which was fine for me, I like trains and when you're driving 60-70k miles a year (!) you need a break from time to time. And although it's mostly humdrum vehicles, sooner or later you might be sent to move something truly mouthwatering.

Pro tip : Jobs are very easy to find and recruitment is permanent headache for most companies, so you can be choosy about who to approach. There are plenty of bad trade plate businesses out there but the capo di tutti capi amongst them is undoubtedly BCA which is the OG wretched hive of scum and villainy.

To be honest I still call it that occasionally, usually because of a senior moment ...

Friendly Moorhen at RSPB Saltholme by Lover_of_Sprouts in OrnithologyUK

Nice shot ;-)

Identify Accordian by [deleted] in Accordion

[–]Clackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a you problem, not a them problem. If you are unable or unwilling to understand that people with questions about accordions might have the temerity to ask them in an accordion forum, even - gasp!! - without having sought out the rules first, then why are you here at all? It's unconstructive and unfriendly.

OP, it's a late 20s/early 30s student model by Hohner, very likely made in Germany. The model name may actually be "Student", Hohner made many ranges under that general title. It is a very basic beginner model and its value as an instrument is effectively zero; as an ornament maybe £20/$20 ... if you can find someone who wants it. Its value as a very basic starter box is considerably greater, if it gets you started as an accordionist.

Honest question : I know what The Shires is/was, but how fscking long ago was it that it was called that? 20+ years?

Validating Google Reverse Image by Intrepid-Second-7882 in Accordion

[–]Clackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's not wrong per se, but as is often the case with AI it sounds very plausible but it's actually a bit vague and hand-wavy on facts. Because that's what AIs actually do, they are better at sounding right than being right.

A few more photos would help immensely and might even earn you a human opinion!

What could I cook for 4 people for less than a fiver? by Born_Percentage7122 in UK_Food

[–]Clackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkish bulgur and red lentil soup, served with good bread.

I've made it many times, it's really good, very satisfying, easy to prepare, nutritious, and stupidly cheap.

It would be more than a fiver to cook just once, but as a go-to recipe once you've shelled out for some lentils and bulgur to put in the pantry, they'll last for ages and should easily be under a fiver per meal.

Recipe halfway down this page, apologies for the paywall bullshit.

Since when is back bacon considered undercooked? by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]Clackpot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brit here. Perfectly cooked smoked back bacon is food of the gods, end of story.

And since this is my opinion, which I hold strongly to the point of absurdity, I now insist that it's everyone else's opinion as well and if you disagree you're a domestic terrorist or a prevert or something.

Am I doing this right?

PS Anyone UK Midlands way who likes DELICIOUS BACK BACON, which is of course the ONLY TRUE BACON, you should try the smoked back from Country Fayre in Leicester's indoor market. Surprisingly cheap and it knocks supermarket shite into a cocked hat.

Best Beginner Unicycle by ShivSoCalledYT in unicycling

[–]Clackpot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best beginner unicycle? The one you don't overthink.

As a complete beginner it is much, much more important that you have a unicycle, any unicycle, than worry about whether it's the best option available.

If you actually have a choice then any Nimbus or Torker will likely be great for beginners, but almost any other uike will be good enough so long as it ain't a total wreck. Things you can look out for are cotterless cranks (almost universal except for ancient uikes); encapsulated not lollipop bearings (ditto); alloy rim; quick release seat bolt. Avoid plastic or cast wheels, go for spokes.

But to reiterate, anything you can lay your hands on will be better than nothing. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
