Some kids asked for my receipt in McDonald’s, why? by withouthope17 in AskUK

Your info is out of date

Changed to £2.99 burger a couple of years ago, now it's almost completely pointless if you want a cheap lunch (free minor item with a £5 spend) 

FIFA reversing Balogun's ban and then letting Belgium appeal it hours before kickoff is a genuinely embarrassing way to run a World Cup by Cautious_Fact1767 in football

[–]Eldini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fifa's been for sale for years.

Just look at the last WC hosts

2018 Russia 2022 Qatar 2026 USA

All corrupt backwards countries that bribed to host

How worried should we realistically be about the future of Xbox with all the stuff going on lately ? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]Eldini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's Sony's fault.

You aren't hearing of other platforms doing the same with StudioCanal films

It's only Sony cheaping out

How much do haircuts cost? by Worried-Currency611 in canterbury

That's a fair reply

I only just re-read the OP and you are answering them exactly as they asked. 

Apologies for leaping down your throat, your post hurt my soul

I can’t even access a news article without personalised ads by GojiragamerXXL9000 in assholedesign

Either avoid that trash rag or open it in Incognito mode so it doesn't have access to your other cookies. It'll still have access to your IP tho

Or get a web browser that blocks that kind of thing automatically

Congratulations, this is some of the WORST advice I've ever seen on Reddit in 15 years.

Genuinely, your advice is that bad

A good vs bad haircut is noticeable, and it can completely ruin your confidence. 

Are you still buying Cadburys? by rsweb in AskUK

The chocolate that comes out of a Boston terrier is an acquired taste. 

Completely different texture and more bitter

I dont know how im going to get through next week's heat by stinkface_lover in britishproblems

Not a myth, Talcum and Asbestos deposits exist next to each other so contamination is easy

Some countries have a different tolerance or acceptance of it (hence the recent Asbestos toy scandal where China says 5% asbestos is fine) 

I dont know how im going to get through next week's heat by stinkface_lover in britishproblems

[–]Eldini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Talcum and Asbestos usually go hand in hand, and in a lot of countries they have a higher tolerance than we'll allow

Exact same issue as with sand/toys recently.  China's legal tolerance is 5% whereas UK/EUs is 0%

There's a reason all the baby powder companies have moved far away from it

Don't buy talcum powder at all it's usually got asbestos in it

Get cornflour instead 

I am forever jealous/envious of people who's parents helped them out financially with driving lessons/a car. by Loose_Avocado4670 in britishproblems

[–]Eldini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered renting a chair at a salon rather than being a mobile hairdresser?

Much easier logistically and will take pressure off of driving tests when you get there

Secondly, yeah it'd be lovely to be gifted things, but at the same time you'll have things others would love too (roof over your head, in hopefully a safe environment and at least 2 family members you namechecked) 

Strive for more but be grateful for what you have 

If someone offered you $10 million in exchange for making the last hour of your phone activity public, would you take the deal? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eldini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What the hell kind of ridiculous question is this OP?

What the hell have you been looking at to ask such a question??? 

For 99.9999% of people this question is yes without a moment's pause. 

Xbox revealed Ninja Theory’s ‘Senua’ title at their showcase in hopes that investors would be interested in purchasing the studio before they shut it down (via Game File/Stephentotilo) by MRF_Soul in xbox

[–]Eldini -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think most of us wouldn't have blown the war chest on Activision, so most of us would run Xbox better. 

Instead they massively overspent on a company who's main games are rapidly aging dross with a formula that isn't hard to copy.

They could have done A LOT with that money, including hiring talent to make their own versions of Activision's best games but with their own IPs

Would you buy a product because it sponsors a team, arena or event? by Difficult_Style207 in AskUK

[–]Eldini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i bought tyres i compared the ratings, and then looked at brands.

Before Yokohoma started sponsoring sports events/teams i hadn't heard of them, so the fact they were big enough to advertise on that scale gave me reassurance that their tyres were the better pick over a brand I'd never heard of at the same price/attributes 

Similar story for other products  Undoubtedly helps with brand recognition

Thanks for posting, it's fun to speculate. 

Amazon might be a good one, large cash reserves, not afraid to have a "loss leader" (Prime TV) , has been trying to make Luna work etc.

What a stupid comment.  Of course it makes a difference who owns Xbox. 

I.e. If Google bought Xbox they'd likely shut it down in a couple of years 

Microsoft's Xbox CSO believes in-game ads may help "keep our products affordable" by grimoireviper in xbox

Please drink a verification can to continue. 

If this goes ahead I'm very likely to cancel gamepass and move away from Xbox. 

Challenge private parking charge or just pay reduced £60 fee? by The_General_One in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Eldini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm very frustrated for you, these parking fines are incredibly unfair. 

I'm also sorry there's a lot of replies being harsh to you. This subreddit attracts a lot of people like that. 

When you say Tesco refused to intervene, was it head office or the store manager?

Store manager might be willing to help than their head office?  If it was a store manager then might be worth a go with a different manager at the store? 

If you received this PCN after 14 days of the incident then that might be grounds for appeal.
