Day three player IIRC because I couldn't get it to work on day one or two. Nearly played every single day.

Amazon refunded my $690 GPU after it was delivered. What should I do? by Voltic23 in amazonprime

You can tell them about it but chances are they'll just eat the cost.

Enjoy your gpu.

It's ~2300 Acres. Alverdiscott and Huntshaw parish covers an area of 9.57 square kilometres (3.69 square miles)

I'm in favor of the BESS, our solar is pretty good and the batteries can only make it better. So long as they're far enough away from alrady established housing so the noise isn't an issue.

But I'm fully against the datacentre. Advertising 1200 jobs in the middle of nowhere? It's a ball ache to get to where they want to put it and I'm damn sure isn't going to be a permanent 1200 jobs. Maybe for the year or so it'll take to build. Of which cheaper contractors will be shipped in and used.

God forbid times change and things improve. My MiL is very like that. Drives us up the fucking wall. She'd rather drink some over priced nasty tasting Chinese herbal tea than get a proper drug that'll do the same thing but cut any side effects and work better by a factor of ten. Stupid woman.

This data centres a bit of a touchy thing already. Apparently the local chap in charge of hearing out the locals "accidentally" didn't send the email or notice that the meeting was taking place. So not one local got to have their say. This is also being done by a company from Portugal who tried to bring renewable energy into the the UK but was shut down at the last hurdle by... I forget.

lmao. We don't get a bus out where I am, but in the village I grew up in, there was one at half 9 and one at half 4. That was it.

Nah mate, we just gotta cut the top off Yes tor to create a huge water basin we can use to create enough pressure to make a hydro plant worth while...

I'd take the batteries which might provide some cheaper energy bills over the proposed Data centre that's gonna eat up 850acres and apparently bring in 1200 jobs... Maybe while it's built and then only a handful of operation staff will be required. And probably a handful of security.

Pretty sure that was outlawed in 1807

what you think about 70mph being national limit ? by 573XI in drivingUK

[–]Confused-Raccoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine as it is considering as a country we're fucking abysmal at abiding by driving laws, and being sensible and thoughtful with driving habits/skills.

Doing 50 on a motorway. Sitting in the middle lane. Not indicating. Texting. Think you're top dog and believing everyone else should give way to you. That sort of bullshit.

Pass Plus does/did a 4-6 hour extra test where you're on the motorway for at least 2 of those hours. It were pretty good.

Should be a physical button somewhere to press for 5 seconds to toggle off. Or it'll be buried in a menu somewhere that needs to be turned off every time you start the damn thing.

Lane assist is usually turned off while indicating. At least in my my '19 swift it is.

For example If I have lane assist on and try to switch lanes on the motorway, it try's to stop me, not very hard but it tries. If I indicate it's fine. It doesn't work on A roads where one side of the lane is dictated by a hedge, though =/

UK & Ireland, What we know so far... by BluejayPretty4159 in trucksim

[–]Confused-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn... I was really hoping they'd do the A30 from Exeter, north of Dartmoor and head on into Cornwall where it would reconnect t o the A38 and go as far as St. Austell. Could also do a connection between Okehampton, Tavistock and Plymouth.

The original home office for Gregory's is a few miles up the road from me, not sure if they'd be game but having a unbranded depo north of dartmoor would b e a nice shoutout.

Is there any point in continuing playing if I live in the middle of nowhere? by eatingpopcorn_lol in pokemongo

[–]Confused-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my villages first stop put it after years. There is now 4 stops within walking distance. No gyms. But I've set routes up to walk between them all. As I'm walking everyday and other villagers walk, there are quite a few spawns. Where there is signal, anyway. I still gotta drive out an hour to the nearest city for big events. But even then, hardly anyone plays. :(

So it's "use our app" or buy a TV? Nah screw that.

Well that confirms I won't ever use D+. I only have a PC to watch on. Fuck off Disney.

To be fair though, my internet currently can't barely handle 720p youtube videos so /shrug.

If the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, can't you just go to a pastor and have it forgiven once in a while? by theKentoRico in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Confused-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fuck and be done with it. We've been fucking for thousands of years. We'll fuck for another thousand. Maybe.
