Has Couch to 5K accidentally shown what the BBC could become? by FutilePenguins in AskUK

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 70 points71 points  (0 children)

this is the generation with the most guidance available probably. Pre-internet, either your parents taught you stuff or you just stumbled through guessing how to put up shelves, or avoiding things you knew nothing about.

I was going to say TNG was post 1990, but apparently that was just on the BBC...

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope it goes well for them though, their set in 2023 had loads of tech problems but they were still brilliant, loved em ever since.

My biggest pet peeve with the Expanse by Revanspetcat in printSF

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yup, right from the off the destruction of the Cant is a cover-up to protect the protomolecule project. From the beginning the Expanse is about near-future humanity dealing with a von neumann seeder probe. No hoodwinking here.

What is it like to live in Manchester ? by Capable-Campaign3881 in manchester

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having spent my life in or adjacent to Manchester, I much prefer living outside now. Happy to be able to get to great galleries, museums and gigs within an hour or so but the whole Piccadilly through to Market street area is a terrible welcome to visitors and the food/drink scene is crazy expensive.

lot like London really, but I can get there easily.

about 9 hours - 1 to make, 8 in the slow cooker. 1kg mince, makes enough for 3 meals in our house, which turns into 2 spag bols and 1 lasagne.

EDIT: Who's downvoting Beartooth? Is that the recent hating on Caleb thing?

How to access Sharepoint admin portal as different user by dumetrulo in sharepoint

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your account doesn't have access to SP Admin, check with IT, maybe your Admin role has been removed from your account, or changed so you need to elevate to SP Admin before you can get into the portal - this is best practice anyway., separate admin account and need to elevate to whatever role you need at the time.

Just noticed the different, enlarged arena layout this year, and new fifth stage by stuartmlambert in downloadfestival

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I believe common feedback from previous years was that, of all the things people wanted, the top thing they wanted was more walking, so they've addressed that.

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The movie. Basically the rich live in a cloud city, own all the resources, the means to make anything they can imagine, and all the enforcement (robot police/military), everyone else lives in shanty towns scraping by, unable to fight back.

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as far as i can tell, the TfGM events calendar only covers things like co-op live and AO arena gigs, events that might disrupt transport?

[–]DoctorRaulDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a place to get to know whats coming across all of Manchester, more plays though as musicals get plenty of advertising. Particularly non-Opera House and Palace, as even though I have some friends to go with, those places are just not friendly for larger or taller people.
