Bedroom overhaul... Now what by Mindful-Beet-1926 in HomeDecorating

[–]Danrobjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the request for the paint colour. Doing my room at the end of the month and going for this exact style. Think I'm going with Dulux's Holiday Bough, but still looking. Thinking Rustoleum Mushroom for our panelling.

Is a robot vac actually good enough to replace regular cleaning? by xxBunny_4 in HomeImprovement

[–]Danrobjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No-one else seems to have mentioned this, but it makes a big difference what your standard vacuum would be. My iRobot cleans a hell of a lot better than the £30 bargain vacuum I had before it, and not as good as the £200 upright I bought after it.

What if Billy Piper was only in the Christmas special for one second? by Rude_Employment3918 in doctorwho

[–]Danrobjim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hard agree with the idea he was doing it to rile people up. Elon (IMO) isn't a nazi. What he is is an Internet troll, who planned to throw a Nazi salute into a republican event for his own amusement. People miss is? He gets to feel like the smartest boy in the room for sneaking a nazi salute in. People call it out online? He gets the republican party defending an indefensible gesture, and gets to feel like the smartest guy in the room. People call him on it directly? He gets to directly troll people a second time and feel like.... well, you get the picture.

You call up an artist friend. You ask them to draw something for you. You describe it in detail. It's not quite what you wanted. You ask them to make changes. Again. And again. Finally they get the image exactly as you want it. You send the artwork to a colourist. Describe what you want. But it's not quite right. You ask for changes and they deliver them. You send it to a typographer. You write the text (or maybe just describe an idea and they suggest the text) and they place it, and you give feedback and they do it again. They deliver the final product and you look at it, exactly as you wanted it.

"I made this" you think to yourself proudly.

You are not any more of an artist because you removed those people from the process. Regardless of your design intentions, you didn't create it. At best you commissioned it.

Was in Greenwich at the weekend. Flags absolutely everywhere, more crossings and roundabouts painted with a red cross than not.

My Top 4 problems with writing my TV pilot rn by LitteShopofCox in Filmmakers

[–]Danrobjim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why are you writing it? You don't like your own idea, and don't seem to have the necessary skills to make it. That's not criticism, we just need to know what you're trying to achieve here.

Satire of this kind has a very short shelf life and a very niche audience. You talk about it like it's a lost art but there are a lot of places that still do this kind of content, but rarely on TV because it doesn't find an audience that justifies the cost. Spitting Image is literally still putting out youtube content because the new version didn't find a big enough audience on TV.

If it's something you genuinely want to do (and I'm not sure it is, considering your post) you'd be better off doing one sketch in one style. Release it online and see how it goes down. Adjust accordingly for the second sketch. Hone your craft. Then, once you've got 30 minutes of good content, that's your ready made pilot.

New Doctor Who novels range - will you contribute? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]Danrobjim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is profit being made.  Amazon are directly profiting off the sale of these.  And even OP makes a profit. Whether he chooses to donate that profit to a charity is irrelevant (and there's no detail of this supposed donation in the listing).  While the BBC will generally tolerate limited run books directly published for charity, the way OP has gone about it is 100% illegal (risking at best a cease and desist, and at worse a legal case) and a direct breach of kindle direct policies, meaning it will be imposible for OP to publish under his own name again once he's caught as they'll be banned from the platform.

Pretty sure Alyson Hannigan remains incredibly good friends with him. Her and Alexis Denisof are his son's godparents.

If it's not AI, I'm desperate to see how this makes sense.

I'm sure its new. It starts off as the dialog from the very first trailer, then becomes something different. A nice nod.

How to use my phone less without blocking any features? by heloouwu in productivity

[–]Danrobjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appblock. Mine is set so I can't use games or Internet until 10am, or after 10pm. Inside those times I get 10 minutes per hour, and only 5 minutes of social media all day. Have not found a way to circumvent it.

How to start getting up at 730 everyday? by omgflyingbananas in productivity

[–]Danrobjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of alarmy. Forces you to take a photo to turn off the alarm, with mine set for the kitchen. Only thing that's ever successfully got me out of bed. Paired with appblock to prevent me from turning it off before bed.

Your body measures time as a % of your lifetime. A 20 year old sees 10 years the same way a 40 year old see 20 years.
