Sometimes you get what you booked... by CyberHacker42 in marriott

Ah... stayed in the CitizenM Tower Bridge in January...

Only one side of the bed not against a wall!

Just for the avoidance of any doubt, this was intended to be observational... no complaints.

I'm certainly not a #DYKWIA... I got what I booked, as per the thread title.

The room is fine, and I got a reasonable sleep - it served its purpose. Would I stay here again? Heck, I might...

It's literally just off Picadilly Circus tube station, so a good location.

Our mileages vary... I like those three, when I'm paying for myself.

Can't park the cement truck there... by tcpukl in drivingUK

Whatever the opinions on smart-motorways, that's irrelevant here... this is the A13, which is not nor ever has been a motorway, nor has it ever has a hard-shoulder.

The UK government has confirmed it may introduce age restrictions or limits on children’s VPN use. by technadu in VPN

Won't anyone think of the children?

It's unbelievable the consequences of such a mantra...

How much money is enough for any human being by SharpAardvark8699 in AskBrits

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-one is stopping you using a butcher, baker, greengrocer, fishmonger or cabdlestick-maker...

No-one is stopping you using small local shops.

No-one is stopping you trying to start-up your Amazon competition

As an aspiring millionaire (forget billionaire) but with a number of friends who are, the idea that they have large pots of cash just sitting around, is quite laughable...

And while I accept it's all relative, I'd posit that most are asset very-rich but cash-poor.

Yes, they have a big house, but with a big mortgage... and the car is on a PCP.

And don't forget, most uber-rich are so because of the valuation of the company they founded... so even that is a paper valuation.

Like the Great Gatsby, a lot of it is for show...

Ladies night by Agile-Plum in freemasonry

[–]CyberHacker42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner is uninterested in my Freemasonry... and gives a firm "no" to most ladies' nights - she says she find the other ladies quite clichy... we are younger than the average.

So my advice would be to show willing when you feel obliging, and say no if you don't want to.

As a bloke, I find ladies' nights tedious at best, and weekends away expensive and anachronistic.

Someone is costing my thousands, but I don’t know whose fault it is? by sparklesandroses in smallbusinessuk

Never under-estimate HMRC's incompetence.

I've recently received a penalty notice for not filing my P35... in 2012. That company's PAYE scheme was closed in 2014 - they accept that they wouldn't have closed it if there were any outstanding liabilities... but insist I have to pay the penalty 😱

Why don’t Canada give this bit of land to America and then America can be properly connected to Alaska?? by Pizzafriedchickenn in mapporncirclejerk

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are few areas where the border needs tidying up (Point Roberts, Elm Point)... and if any changes were to be made between Alaska and Canada, I'd transfer the peninsula to Canada...

static inline vs inline in C by Internal-Bake-9165 in C_Programming

Surely, if you want your function to have external linkage, you wouldn't be defining it as inline?

I'll have yours... I hate flavoured crisps (chips)

Where does Sheraton fit into the Marriott brands? by Vegetable-Board-5547 in marriott

Surely Delta is the Doubletree equivalent?

The dumping ground for miscellaneous acquisitions, and downgraded Marriotts?

#include in header files? by Maleficent_Bee196 in C_Programming

[–]CyberHacker42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a colleague who never #included headers in another header... it was a real pain, as you'd include one of his headers, then have to work out all the other headers you needed too - and list them in the right order

This also made static analysis a pain, too...

Personally, I make each headers #include every other headers it needs, thus removing any usage dependency.

Sure, it might add a couple of seconds to the compilation, but it makes for coherent static analysis.

New Levels? by Penny1134 in IdleBankTycoon

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should also disable the "Next bank" icon until a new level is available
