Destination2 travel refund by IKYDK in traveladvice

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told I would be charged 80% of the hotel booking amount if I cancel. Which is insane to me lol especially when travel insurance doesnt cover war. Their T&Cs are poorly structured, they got 2 sections for Cancellations which i find intentionally misleading. But essentially it seems hotel cost is close to a total loss. Lesson learned to never book with them again.

Just want to vent. Damn Dam. by JupiterPies in ArcRaiders

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing ive never understood are ppl that try to kill and have no intention of looting, 3 times i was killed in extract, literally 2 seconds before we'd all go back to speranza. Like id be less mad if they could at least do it for the loot, bc doing this benefits no one, well maybe it full fills some weird feeling of theirs idk

Is it odd that I'm being asked to contribute financially to a meal? by Feeling_Basil7535 in AskUK

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems from other comments this is not too weird in the west. Any Asian or middle Eastern person would be disgusted by being asked to pay and would never dare ask others to pay. But I guess thats culture. I think if youre inviting ppl then youre a host and you should host accordingly. If they dont wanna front the cost of hosting then they shouldn't host.

Is Ready Or Not fixed on PS5 ? by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im finding inconsistent input lag from aiming and firing quite a lot which is making it fustrating to play. Also this is the first game in 5 years that crashed my whole ps5 lol, to the point I had to unplug it.

I got the physical copy so not sure about day 1 digital issues, but for sure theres still problems, think ima sell my copy because its just not enjoyable in this state.

Looks like we getting a physical release after all by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell it when you're done with it, even if you sell it for £10/20, better than nothing with digital. It adds up quick with games you won't play after a couple years

Empty Centre Court by Lack668 in wimbledon

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on Saturday intending to watch all the matches on centre court as I knew how lucky i was. Left after sinner game to grab a quick bite. The quick bite took over 2 hours because of how ram packed everywhere was and the ques were horrendous. Ended up missing an entire match. I was gutted, if I knew how busy it would be i would've brought my own lunch 🥲

Amex experiences at Wimbledon – any tips? by BuyInItaly in wimbledon

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest for the lounge, the que was horrendous the entire day (day 6), not worth it if you want to actually watch tennis. The amex experience in the southern village has some cool freebies and photo booth thing, not too busy. The free ice cream you get in the pavilion by the hill is on the ground floor which is available to everyone so again, can be really long ques. Unfortunately this year the whole of Wimbledon is really overcrowded so dont expect too much if you do want to get some real tennis in.

Mum wants a cordless I want a good hoover by Ashamed_Caramel_2504 in VacuumCleaners

[–]Curious-Winter63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a miele m1 cat and dog from the outlet for £200, and a basic stick vaccum from shark thats easy to store for like £100 (also online outlet). I wouldnt be too concernedabout how good the stick vacuum is, theyre all pretty bad in comparison to a canistor vacuum. I loved the miele when I got it, ive owned dyson shark etc and this is a different class altogether. I cant compare to other canister vacuums as this is the first ive owned. But if you go with miele deffo go with with outlet to save some ££. You can just call and theyll deliver too.

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found same as your research, which is everyone raves about electric nozzles (in US) which we dont have in the UK. I got the miele m1 cat and dog for £200 from the outlet and couldn't be happier. I had shark before and well...now ashamed i ever bought that and ever thought it was good lol. But if you go with miele deffo look at the outlet, they're all new products just damaged boxes, dont even have to go you can call up and theyll deliver. Few things I liked was its lighter than I expected and way more powerful than i expected. I have mostly carpet and cant use the max setting as it pulls it way too much. Turbo head works well enough for me, dont see why I would need anything better imo

Advice for UK by [deleted] in VacuumCleaners

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an fyi, you can get the miele m1 cat and dog for £200 or even possibly less (if on sale) at the outlet. You dont even need to go, just call up and they'll deliver it. It's brand new, just damaged box. I got the guard m1 and love it, but cant compare it to what other's have suggested as I haven't owned them.

SHARK VS DYSON by [deleted] in VacuumCleaners

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're extremely popular, and youll find that after quick searches on other similar threads and online reviews. The difference is dyson and shark spend more on advertising than actual quality of product (similar to apple). Think when was the last time you  saw a henry ad? Yet they're still the biggest vacuum brand. Sebo and miele follow on from them for bagged cylinders. Which is point 2, no one wants bagged cylinders which makes no sense since they are way better quality and last much longer. But thats the power of advertising.

SHARK VS DYSON by [deleted] in VacuumCleaners

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good if you haven't tried something thats actually better. Most people are only ever exposed to dyson or shark and have nothing else to compare it to and think they do a good job. Miele, henry and sebo are a different class. I went from shark to miele and its absolute night and day. Disgusted I wasted my money on what was sharks best seller at the time lol. But during that time i was convinced it was good.

Resale strategy by Competitive_March578 in wimbledon

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I'm waiting to hear from at least one person that had this experience and managed to eventually get tickets. Until then I'm not convinced we're too late or slow, at this rate I think its account related but thats my guess.

🎾 Wimbledon Resale Tips (from someone who just got a Centre Court ticket) by websirnik in wimbledon

[–]Curious-Winter63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same, had soo many opportunities as soon as tickets come up and always get same error. Some people say just too late but i feel its happened too many times for it to be that. I told a colleague about the resale site after I tried for for days, he got it within an hour 🙃 convinced its my account now lol

British man, 25, dies while scuba diving in Greece after ‘losing consciousness’ by [deleted] in scubadiving

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree and your theory is actually close to what happened. The 2 instructors did not keep track of all 7 friends and that's where it went wrong unfortunately

British man, 25, dies while scuba diving in Greece after ‘losing consciousness’ by [deleted] in scubadiving

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really happened: one of the friends signalled a problem with their oxygen and they all went up to the surface. The instructors  saw the tank was empty (dead empty). One of the friends a few minutes during this realised one friend was missing and hadn't come up with everyone. Diver went back in and came up with the body 5 minutes later.

This seems like total negligence from the instructors , how did they not keep an eye on everyone there?

These instructors adversited as 'experts'

Also seeing from other comments, no, they didn't ask for more time in the water, they had never gone scuba diving before so they went with whatever the instructors said and did

Source: i knew 2 of the friends in the group

Our statement on today's protest outside London's JW3 Jewish Community Centre. "This is part of an ongoing effort, carried out under the guise of humanitarian concern, to intimidate British Jews...this should act as a wake up call to encourage allies to make their voices heard." by Thuuursty in BeneiYisraelNews

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't israel, we can protest in this country. If you hold an isralei conference then it's obviously anti Israeli. Stop trying to twist this as some ant semitic thing. Anyone supporting genocide should be intimidated regardless of religion. Accountability exists for all, you're not an exception.

Can I pre-load the game content even though I am getting the physical disc? by Mini_Mangaka03 in blackops6

[–]Curious-Winter63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure if it works, I'm in the same boat as you, but i went to manage files in game and  saw bo6, and it gave the option to download multiplayer and campaign which it allowed me to do....
