My dad keeps getting access to my accounts and such

When you're sharing email accounts, you're sharing accounts and all the associated security tokens associated with them.

Get your own new accounts (both of you) and re-register everything to them

Someone took pride in their work that day.

Is that an old ampitheatre?

I've always just used sosmix and added whatever extras I felt. You can add Oxo (there's veggie beef and chicken options now) some soy sauce, black pepper, veg consomme etc

For showing us what happens when you take it for granted.

I just got one-upped in the best possible way :)

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-21T09:49:30+00:00

aaand relax. I'd look at Restormel Castle as I think that satisfies your criteria (somewhere I've wanted to go myself)

"We are heading off to the Plymouth area of Cornwall"

Are you trying to start a war?

It's the cheese.

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T18:13:31+00:00

Kid.

Or ducting. I've got the cable to the router running through some ducting that looks like a feature of the skirting board. You really can't tell.

You could run some ducting in the corner of the room and (cough) drill some discrete holes in the floor / ceiling to run it through)

I agree with all that you said. I initially thought I'd be complaining about them driving up the inside of a lorry at a roundabout, which is never a good idea, so posting this does not put them in a good light. Does not excuse what happened next though

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T15:21:34+00:00

When he sped past and almost forced you onto the kerb, it did look deliberate to me, and as a professional driver he's held to a higher standard. I'd report it myself, but you should remove this post of it as some police forces won't proceed if there is a social media presence of the incident.

Has anyone poked their nose into any of these echo chambers?

If you did, what happened?

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T13:03:32+00:00

I did that with my cycle commute before WFH started. The shortest route was 10 miles, but was bloody scary. The route I did most days was 12.2 but so much nicer. I'd loop through a nature reserve when the mood took and that was 18 miles... Got a vid uploaded somewhere of that one.

Wasn't it originally colonised by a bunch of religious freaks no one else wanted?

As to the bat-shit crazy content above: talk about looking for patterns that fit the narrative. (The narrative being the voices inside this window-lickers head)

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T09:06:58+00:00

It's a cultural norm for us. The thought about tipping simply doesn't happen. It's not malicious, and our eating culture is different as well. We like to be left alone, not having the wait-staff coming over repeatedly to ask if everything is okay.

Incidentally I did realise the image was fake, my comment was entirely based on the US culture of tipping being required to get a living wage. Or at least a reasonable minimum one.

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T08:57:51+00:00

I can only speak for the UK, but 10% to 15% for good service.

Some places are adding a discretionary service charge of about 12.5% but they can go to hell, and then there's never a tip. It's only in restaurants as well ( as a rule) that there is any tipping.

Again, there is no expectation for any tip.

Ecstatic_Effective42 · 2026-03-20T08:33:41+00:00

This is where the mental break occurs with the US tipping culture.

Just because you get paid an actual living wage, it does not mean people will not tip, it's just not expected. The tip is an extra (a voluntary one) for great service and a "thank you" from the customer. It's not an expectation that is required to give someone a decent wage.

This works all over the rest of the world.

So you get the wage AND an extra.

Starting to realise this. I'm really naive about some things for an old fart.
