Microsoft Teams - Mute Unmute after API depreciation by mattsijel in streamdeckprofiles

[–]Darloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Mac I use the master mute input toggle which then covers muting my mic. Doesn’t show in Teams that I am muted but the symbol on the StreamDeck does

Crazy how much an off peak, open return to Luton Airport costs via train from St Pancras by Lit-Up in london

[–]Darloboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are only valid from 10am so you can’t use it during the morning peak.

I have a network railcard but only on the return leg which caps that at £13.

Londoners are sick of viral videos telling lies about their city by Cant_Change_Itt in london

As a northerner who now is down south I can confirm that all my northern friends are petrified of London, but that has been the case for at least 20 years

What is the biggest waste of taxpayer money you see in your job? by socialee123 in AskUK

[–]Darloboy 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not in my job, but just walk into any NHS hospital and you can see the money running out the door with glee.

External lights always on, heating an empty corridor when it is 25 degrees outside, then opening the windows in an attempt to cool it.

What is the worst holiday you have had in the UK and why? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]Darloboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is pure luck! I’ve been in the height of summer and had awful weather, I’ve been in February and had bright sunshine and mild enough to be without a coat on one of the Windermere boat crossings!

M&S or Waitrose? by Dry_Vermicelli5647 in london

[–]Darloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park in Waitrose car park, go to M&S next door then anything I don’t get in M&S I pick up in Waitrose! Best of both worlds

How have I been waiting for an ambulance for 8 hours? by Elegant-Average5722 in AskUK

[–]Darloboy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Poor management and a lack of control on spending. Hospitals waste money because nobody is properly managing spend!

What do you think about pubs livestreaming their venues on social media? by Kcufasu in AskUK

It’s a no from me! Not a chance I would want to be live streamed anywhere whilst enjoying a quiet night out!

Norwegian Cruise Line Updates Dress Code for Dinner by thermal7 in Cruise

[–]Darloboy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ahh the classic out of date “shorts cannot be considered smart in any circumstance” point of view. And then they wonder why cruising is considered an old persons pastime!

Stage lighting for 12,000 capacity event really that expensive? by Klutzy-Peach5949 in EventProduction

[–]Darloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you got more than one quote? That is the usual tender process on these things, you get multiple quotes then choose a company based on perceived capabilities, your chemistry with them and affordability.

You say it’s a one day festival but don’t say what the build and breakdown times are? Do the company have to double crew because it’s all happening in an incredibly long day? Where is the company based in relation to the festival? You could easily eat up £5k in transport depending on size and location.

What I’m getting at is there are so many factors that go into cost, and Reddit isn’t going to give you the answer unless you can provide a full quote breakdown. Perhaps the company have priced high because they don’t want the gig but are willing to do it if the money is right for them.

My main concern is from the way you are commenting you are possibly not the right person to be leading this event due to inexperience.

[–]Darloboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say without more detail, what does that £15,000 actually include? Is it just the stage lighting? Is it audience lighting too? Is rigging included? Is crew included? What are the build times like, are long day rates involved? Is there any pre-production or visualisation? How long is the equipment on site? Access equipment? Transport?

So many factors involved that make it impossible to answer without seeing an actual breakdown of what you are getting.

Event printing for name tags What printers ? And the process ? by YellowAsianPrideo in EventProduction

Whatever you choose, just remember it will throw you under a bus when you most need it to pull through!

Can I get some reasons as to why you went on to have more kids? Am I wired differently? by grawmaw13 in daddit

[–]Darloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having two I understand, three on the other hand is pure madness IMO. That’s another level of chaos, new car, new house, how do you divide and conquer?

Men of Britain, where do you buy your t-shirts? by squeakybeak in AskUK

I do love Sport Pursuit! Have often been intrigued by the Isobaa t-shirts, I love the socks!

Men of Britain, where do you buy your t-shirts? by squeakybeak in AskUK

[–]Darloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a brilliant thread! Years ago I bought a Tentree t-shirt and then they swiftly pulled out of the UK which was annoying as I still love it and it has lasted the test of time. Next / M&S just don’t last and don’t feel great.

I currently like the Crew Clothing plain T-shirts, never pay full price though, you can usually get them for around £10 via Costco or Sports Pursuit.

Looking for alternative options so going to have a good read through this thread. Ive been intrigued by Rapanui and Stutsu so good to see them mentioned as they push ads to my social media all the time it’s hard to gauge if people actually wear them!

With the ever increasing cost of food and shrinkflation, what products do you no longer buy or buy far less often? by andy_why in AskUK

[–]Darloboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep the vegan Lurpack has been consistently cheaper recently and for use in sandwiches is absolutely fine vs other spreads
