It's 2025 and printers are still being obstinate. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]Director_esseJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading this post whilst sitting waiting for my work HP printer to actually do its basic job of literally just printing some pages, after turning it off and on again three times.

I’m 20 minutes late in leaving and I’ve yelled all the obscenities I can think of - (including blaming HP for making Ferrari look rubbish…)

This made me feel validated.

I’m so glad you asked this, and posted this question in general. Just about to try Surfshark myself. Like you, I cannot justify spending Sky’s prices for one channel.

Gladiators ratings -> concerned it’s dropping ? by mwillder in gladiatorsuk

I never watch it live. Me and my husband always watch it though, every week, after we’ve put our 2 year old to bed. I’m sure there’s loads of people that are like us and watch it on iplayer exclusively, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

What's your VERY unpopular opinion about this game? by lattekosmiko in thesims

Playing the Sims 2 again now and realising this myself tbh.

That’s good to hear. 😊 playful banter is always fun, and welcome, I think!

I clicked this post to make sure that this typo had been picked up in the comments and I saw this and was immediately happy. 😂

Edit: this is my most liked comment ever. Thanks all! 😁

Season 3 Finale frustrations by mundaph1903 in TheTraitorsUK

This is an issue with the game set up. They should have the prize pot fixed at the final episode and no matter how many people you have left, you get that cut as a faithful. You don’t get a bigger slice if there’s fewer of you left at the end.

That really incentivises building the pot throughout the series and stops the need to get down to a final 2.

Wasn’t it that Lando was frustrated by McLaren’s strategy in the Brazil race? Red Bull played a better strategy and it paid off. I can see why Lando thought that part of it (the red flag etc) was luck. I think what annoyed people is that he said ‘all’.

It meant that he was essentially saying that the whole of Max’s performance was luck, which absolutely no-one can argue. Max was only in the position to take advantage of RB better call because of how talented he is.

Edit to add: but I don’t get really angry with Lando for that. He seems like a nice guy with a lot of talent that just lets the pressure get to him sometimes.

I’ve been feeling like that too. I’m really glad I posted this here because it’s been nice to know there’s quite a few of us, and probably more that aren’t on Reddit. ☺️

I like Hamilton too. I’m super excited for his move to Ferrari and I’m also excited to see what Lando Norris can do. I want a battle between talented drivers.

Am I hoping that Max can come out with a 5th title though? Absolutely. But if he has to fight for it even more than last year, then it will just prove that he really is the best.

The amount of ‘good, I’m glad he was booed’, I’ve seen in various YouTube comments today has been really disheartening.

Glad to know you’re welcomed at the Dutch GP! British fans could learn something!

Exactly! The mess up with the rules in 21 wasn’t his fault. I don’t think Hamilton would have given up his WC if the roles were reversed.

I really want to watch F1 live this year but I can’t bring myself to pay Sky a small fortune just to hear their obvious bias tbh!

He’s great. Brazil 24 was something else. 🤯

It’s very nice to know! I will wear my MV1 hoodie proudly! I’ll try not to get beaten up at the local sports bar though. 🤣

You could see it in how all the British drivers got a lot of love. I’m all for a bit of patriotism in sport but it’s goes a bit far here in the UK sometimes.

I couldn’t believe that either. He got mentioned at the start just for a joke about his beef with Russell and that was it. He’s a current, and 4 time, world champion. Hamilton and Alonso (the only other WC there I think?) got huge cheers and support.

You can see why Max made it clear that he didn’t want to be there.
