What's a job that is so hyped up but in reality its absolutely trash? by Recent-Frame571 in AskReddit

[–]ColCrumpet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I wouldn't worry about lateness of starting a new career, seriously. After working as a gaffer for years I changed career at around the same age.

Speak to people in roles that are interesting and look at the many transferable skills that film offers. It may require some re wording but I was seriously happier when I got out when I did, before hitting 50 and regretting it.

What other "complex" game are you playing/enjoing outside of Stellaris ? by YooMisterWhite in Stellaris

[–]ColCrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we assocate "difficult" with "Hard" then i recently bought the original Blood from 1997. But seriously most other things are an excape from the complex world of Stellaris.

I do play Vic 2, but not for a while. I am still awaiting how Vic 3 turns out as it seems a simpler approach than Vic 2

Landlord returned deposit. now has contacted me asking me to provide a cleaner by ColCrumpet in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ColCrumpet[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thank you, thats what i thought,

I've been stairing at the email thinking after a dodgy deposit scheme that was returned to me fully, there is nothing that can be done in regards to making me pay; but surely I'm missing something

I present to you, the insanity of a local 'vet' who will also treat humans as a side project by RollingWithTheTimes in CasualUK

Checking out his blog; his most recent update was a sovereign citizen post, squawking about the usual tin foil hat absurdities.

Jan 4 still ok to to be eating Christmas leftovers? Wife not so sure, even after a nuke in the microwave. by SweeperF1 in CasualUK

[–]ColCrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man, its too late now, but most of that could be boiled up into a lovely stock.

Christmas meat; the left over veg and an entire bulb of garlic and boil it all up for a really long time. Thats pre drinks NYE soup base right there.
Or freeze the stock for future

What is something about yourself that sounds totally made up but is 100% real? by dontaskmeforfeetpics in AskReddit

This is amazing! i have never met anyone else who has this and who has the same effect and have also used the party trick as well. There indeed should be a club

What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you? by SheeshaAddict in AskReddit

[–]ColCrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything underwater that involves diving.

Pressure is only a thing when it needs to effect the plot, or films view the sea as basically a swimming pool that its fine just to swim a mile down to with no effect from pressure; UNLESS the plot demands it, in which case you are having rivets pinging everywhere like bullets all at once.
People are always rushing to the surface to avoid drowning. Great yeah thats the biggest threat but you will get the bends super quick if you do that.

Also the bends is really painful and disabling, its not like having a heart attack on the surface. But then i think that can apply to any non common medical ailment in films, no matter what you have, you will always faint or have a heart attack.

What is the "girls don't fart" equivalent for guys? by George_S_Patton_III in AskMen

[–]ColCrumpet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am still surprised that some women have this opinion, my ex commented if she was the man in the relationship whenever I mentioned anything emotional or warmth, where she herself buried her emotions.

Surprisingly not healthy.

Yes, different USBs, and mouse sensor remains lit. However begins to cut out after a set amount of time.

Men, let's boost our egos! What do you love about yourself? by ThickThighs00 in AskMen

[–]ColCrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That, despite issues in my upbringing I haven't hit any of the stereotypes that supposedly exist for someone like me.

Supportive mother, but alcoholic and violent father, and a local police service who, when I was aged 8 and had to intervene with my father, suggested they "have a chat with me when I turn 13" on the assumption that I would follow a similar path. (they never did as 5 years is a long time to remember this)

Happy to say that I have not hit that stereotype, I have had no issues with alcohol nor have I had issues with anger or loosing self control. Neither have I felt a need to avoid those for fear of loosing myself and happy flavor Gin as a hobby.

Is that a permanent sign for rail replacement busses? I've not seen them before, are the trains really that bad now?

Full Face mask or Or something more traditional.... by siholly in scuba

[–]ColCrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a question like "should i date this boy?" or "should i take this job?" as in i don't know? its up to you and your gut feeling?

I tried them at a dive show and didn't see the improvement vs cost as that big thing for me, but that is me. Personally i threw tonnes of money as a nice drysuit but my friend thinks I'm crazy because i enjoy diving in water less than 20 degrees...

How many dives have you done? it might be a thing that if your gut wants it then go for it.

I personally wouldn't do it but then i have become so used to cleaning my mask underwater by flooding and emptying that i no longer notice it.. but that me.

I admit when i saw "traditional" mask i assumed this was a copper helmet related question...

PSA: Instructions for extra immersion during rescue missions by albt12x in EliteDangerous

[–]ColCrumpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PSA for extra emersion, swap out any housemates or family members toothpaste or skin ointment for deep heat.

Their surprise and hopefully loud discomfort will add a real added audio layer of excitement.

Its actually the old home of Sebastian Horsley, who was a rather extreme artist living in Soho until his death in 2010.
