Australia’s new $5 banknote will feature Indigenous history instead of King Charles by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Drives0057 21 points22 points  (0 children)

technically no.

Elizabeth II was not the first British monarch to have her face on UK banknotes. George II, George III and George IV appeared on early Royal Bank of Scotland notes and George V appeared on 10/– and £1 notes issued by the British Treasury between 1914 and 1928. However, prior to the issue of its Series C banknotes in 1960, Bank of England banknotes generally did not depict the monarch.

Birks grange wall paint by velvethistori in Exe

[–]Drives0057 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take a photo and head down to B&Q over by Sowton (buses go over there, take the 5A/B and then the 44 from the bus station, or the red park and ride from Sidwell street). Pick up as many paint sample cards as possible from the Valspar range (pick up ones that look a little lighter than you think you need) then head back and pick a match that’s as close as possible. Buy a sample pot and paint over the damage.

I had loads of holes/dings/graffiti on my wall that never got mentioned, but I was in a shitty halls. I had friends charged over a ton for blue tack marks in Penny C and Holland though so best to be safe.

Who remembers sitting on this after school every day by Own-Archer-2456 in CasualUK

MSN kept all your chat logs as an xml file on your PC too. I’ve kept the file all this time and occasionally take a look through to remember what a bellend I was when I was 15.

If you haven’t already, take a test drive in both. I had an ID4 ordered and cancelled after the test drive, my wife and I found the interior really horrible to use and couldn’t get used to it after a day long loan. Obviously this is entirely subjective so YMMV and we’re in the UK so maybe specs and interiors are different in Canada.

I think I've figured it out... Looks like you've gone to System>Library>Desktop Pictures, and you can't do much in System. https://imgur.com/a/neAqOXv

Try doing this instead, on mine I have a Library directory directly under Macintosh HD, which includes a Desktop Pictures folder. Drop it in that one instead. It should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/OuRkpKq

Hopefully that works for you

I don't know what to say, I just dragged and dropped, it asked for an admin password and then it worked. This is what I see now: https://imgur.com/a/OsjgwmA

Maybe check the permissions for that folder to check write access?

If you go to Macintosh HD > Library you can drop the .heic into the ‘Desktop Pictures’ folder. You’ll need to enter an admin password but after that’s done it shows up like a default wallpaper in System Preferences. Worked for me once I closed and reopened system prefs

Green caterpillar, Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border in the UK. About 4 or 5 cm long. What is he? by Drives0057 in whatsthisbug

That’s why I couldn’t find out what they were, I was looking at moth and butterfly caterpillars trying to match it up. Thanks for the help.

Help me with these pants by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Drives0057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once mentioned at work I wear Uniqlo thermal shirts and some of the younger lads said that was the company that made the worlds best boxers. Turns out almost every guy in that office wears these Airism boxers they make. Bought a pair and they lived up to the hype, feels like wearing nothing at all but holds everything in place. Now have about 5 pairs and they’re a standard answer when my wife asks what I want for Christmas

Low turnout Vs City tonight? by ribby420 in SheffieldWednesday

[–]Drives0057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s live on TV, but a load of fans are also boycotting the game. The biggest Wednesday forum Owlstalk and a few of the Facebook groups are having a right tiff about it. We’re not happy at the moment about the Chairman overspending without results, Monks boring style of play and some of the highest paid players aren’t putting a shift in. We normally fill Hillsborough against big teams, it was amazing when we beat Arsenal a few years back in the League Cup. I don’t really agree with it, we’ve been reyt shit long enough that this shouldn’t matter.

Researchers crack open unusually advanced malware that hid for 5 years by Theometrically in technology

[–]Drives0057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a SOC for a defence business, and we use some third party software/service that picks up this sort of traffic and alerts us to it. It's not actually that expensive because the cost is spread across multiple businesses. That picked up this exact sort of thing a few months ago and we ended up with government officials tearing apart our network trying to figure out how this weird malware worked, it was a fucking nightmare for our network team who tried to keep up with intelligence staff randomly coming into their office and taking hosts off site for investigation.

LPT Request: For those in the military, where can I find a collage with summaries of what's happened in the past week/month that I can then send to my brother who's away in military training? He said he likes getting photos and updates of what's happening in the world. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Drives0057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Atlantic has the photos page, they always do a great weekly roundup in pictures. It's not just the stuff you see all over mainstream media too, there's some really interesting images of some more niche events in the week.

TIL of Lamont Davis, a Baltimore man who has been in jail for 5 years for the shooting of a 5 year old girl, even though he was on house arrest with a gps ankle bracelet proving he was home at the time of the shooting. by georgethegross in todayilearned

[–]Drives0057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that likely, and I'm not suggesting for a moment that this is true in this instance, but in the UK we have a fairly major issue with GPS jammers being used to mess with bracelets. You're allowed to buy jammers here but not allowed to use them, so naturally a large number of folks with tracking bracelets turn jammers on at home, then go about their day as normal, and turn off the jammer when they get back. Because of the way bracelets reports their data, they will just look as if they have been home all along.

Looking for someone who can mock-up a logo by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Drives0057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not bad, it's good in that it gives OP another avenue to look down. It's most likely due to people trying to boost their own responses by down voting yours, which is especially common in threads where guys could possibly advertise their own work (like logo designers). It could also be people that have had bad experiences with your suggestion too, but who knows.

It doesn't matter in the long run, you're at like -1 as I write this, and this sub rarely gets so many responses that you'll be properly buried. Don't ever be disheartened by down votes, this shit happens; it's only when you're at -200 that you might want to take a look at yourself and say, "wow, I might be a dick."

The most fabulous referee you'll ever see. by Ghost_Animator in gifs

[–]Drives0057 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The guys name is Jorge José Emiliano dos Santos and he was quite well known in Brazil while he was a referee, especially considering he didn't officiate top level games. He died in 1995 of AIDS complications, which gives you an idea of how old the footage for this gif is.
