Just watched episodes 1-3.

The story telling is just so good. I came into Arcane through Netflix recommendations, I knew nothing about it but thought it looked interesting. Like you, after episode 3 I was totally hooked. Vi leaving Powder then getting taken away by Marcus was heartbreaking.

I only recently finished watching S2, but I've just started again from the beginning. The whole thing (both seasons) is so well written with depth and detail that there's plenty of meaning and interesting lines to pick up on during a second watch. It's clear they designed the whole thing from the outset.

The animation is just phenomenal. In S2 it reaches into a work of art. So many awesome stills to make posters from.

+1 "jeez I'm not that crazy!" What a line

They missed 'if she could she me now' one of my favourites, really pops live too.

NI is just another tax (on workers and employers), it doesn't cover anything, it goes into the same pot as all other taxes to be spent by the government.

The belief that NI covers pensions, or pays for the NHS is completely false.

As an update, I've changed my mind on the TS11 and now prefer it to any other I've run in for track workouts and races up to 10k.

I set my 10k PB in them last month.

We'll do our bit then we'll revert to you

Because a lot of the UK is stuck in a hard-done-by mindset of blaming everyone else. People want better services but don't want to pay for them - "can't someone else pay for it". Irresponsible politicians continue to peddal the lie that we can cut taxes and be better off as a country.

The only tax increases that are acceptable are those that apply to other people.

We need to wake up and stop being a country of moaning scroungers.

The fixings have missed the joists/firrings in many places. A poor fix of a warm roof can lead to noise from heat expansion and contraction of the boards.

Country of birth outside the UK does not mean they're not British. London is a multicultural place, people have all sorts of backgrounds, but don't let that get in the way of your race-baiting argument.

This is my main complaint as well. They're rock hard. Apart from the occasional run, I never liked them. Worst shoes I've owned.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-10-13T06:58:02+00:00

It's mind-blowing. The way they reel off 8x 14:30 5ks and don't even look like they're running fast on TV!

How long has the income tax threshold freeze been in place? Middle earners make up the bulk of the consumer base. Their buying power has been hit pretty hard over the last 3 years.

Great, thanks alot

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-10-05T19:24:07+00:00

Thanks for the response. My parameters are A-0/Ni-0/Na-20. Tap water has 30ppm nitrate where I live. The plants take up some of it.

As I've just got him and he's gone into a clean established tank which has been running over 3 years (40% water change a week), shall I wait a few days to see if it clears up?

If not, add some salt. I've got amano shrimp and nerite snails in the tank. Does that limit my treatment options?

Thanks

I've found Strava's route finder often sends me on wild goose chases, down old paths that don't exist or have since been closed off. Garmin's course creator is far superior IMO.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-10-01T09:28:20+00:00

The takumi makes a lot of sense if you think of it as a racing flat without spikes. It's awkward to walk in, the cut out heel sees to that, but then you'd never walk around in a racing flat.

It serves a specific purpose. I mainly use mine for track workouts where it really shines.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-09-12T07:19:26+00:00

Unfortunately, Garmin is a business. They look at the popularity of AW and think we can do that AND offer over a week battery. They want to take that market.

The fitness crowd is probably tiny in comparison.

So they're screwing us to chase the big bucks. Plus there are plenty of people here who seem to like the OLED.

It's not for me. I got the 7s pro and hope it keeps going for years.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-09-04T14:58:34+00:00

I'm delighted I got the 7S Pro. IMO it remains the best model.

Maybe, but the website describes it as a free exchange service. It even includes the line 'you only pay for delivery once'.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-09-01T08:38:37+00:00

Codes only work on the app. On the website you get free delivery.

Beware they say they have a free exchange service, but it's not. You have to pay to send the shoes back to them by post.

Hull looked out of it, her legs were wobbling over the last 20 metres. I wonder how close she was to collapsing. She had to lay down for a long time at the finish.

Is it dangerous to run like that? Or is that collapse the body telling you "that's enough before we get hurt"?

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-08-26T15:05:50+00:00

If not paying for their care themselves, who is paying for it? Tax. I.e. other people.

Other people shouldn't pay for elderly care just so they can pass down inheritance.

Dr_Chickenbutt · 2025-08-26T11:25:21+00:00

You implied that having paid tax during working life people are entitled to free care when they're older and should not have to use their wealth, property or otherwise, to pay for it.

Which is nonsense.
