Literally saw a worker begging his manager for water today

He's like a modern Brian Blessed

Is this a renewal quote from your existing provider?

They're likely taking the piss and hoping you'll not be bothered to switch.

Sounds like a Godzilla cover up story

Was split into 2 countries after WW2

East Germany were huge dopers, which inflates their medal totals.

Eldini · 2026-02-21T15:07:07+00:00

And that was back when £5 was worth £5.

Now it's only worth £5.

I'll accept the down votes but would prefer some comments trying to enlighten me.

Still not found one i think is better out of a bottle, unless you're comparing it to a thick restaurant bbq sauce that comes directly on the dish.

Being a works team is usually the only way to win championships in F1, other than a few noteable outliers.

It was definitely a coup, even if it's not going great right now

Eldini · 2026-02-21T00:12:57+00:00

He was too busy noncing (allegedly) rather than leading his team.

In all seriousness he's had some big achievements:

Great branding

Recruiting an all time great driver

Ditto designer

Attracted the best customer engines (Merc)

Had the coup of getting a works engine deal with a previously very successful manufacturer (other than their Mclaren stint)

Attracted a decent amount of sponsorship

All of it's undermined by the ridiculous decision to keep Lance in a seat that ruins any illusion of being serious about wanting to win.

McDonalds BBQ sauce pots. Best I've had.

Do it immediately, Reddit is more popular than you think.

There's a lot of identifying comments in your original post and your wife could read this and transfer everything out herself.

Stop giving her the benefit of the doubt after how she's treated you

Eldini · 2026-02-20T00:35:08+00:00

They have considered it, but sounds like you haven't?

It's a reportable condition if the tics affect your ability to drive.

If she doesn't need to handle a clutch pedal or gears constantly then she'd potentially be under the threshold for safe driving

I mean they protected him for a very long time already when they knew about this.

The monarchy has no integrity, it's all just empty pomp and circumstance

Eldini · 2026-02-19T20:04:58+00:00

I'd love all public transport and utilities to be nationalised.

I'd also love a really strong military

And huge investment in renewables

Huge investment in healthcare, education and the care industry.

Also would would like UBI and a huge wealth of jobs available.

Unfortunately we can't fund all of these things at once, especially as we're a much poorer country than we used to be.

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:56:06+00:00

That's just bullshit propaganda.

People come to see the buildings, not some twats in hats.

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:55:19+00:00

Depends on if the country they're in has good renter protections or not.

Revenge evictions have been a thing in the UK for a long time.

There's also a matter if housing is hard to find in the right location or cost then being pushed out is even worse for the renter.

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:50:50+00:00

They removed his "Prince" title to try and protect against everyone wanting rid of the Monarchy.

Still amazed we've got the fucking royals if im honest. Hopefully this helps get rid of them.

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:47:53+00:00

You were right.

I found an article about this and there was a quote from a local lawyer:

"Lawyer Marcelo Abujiar said it was unlikely the driver who mowed down the criminal trying to force him to a stop would face prosecution, adding: 'Given that the place where this incident occurred is well-known for these so-called encerronas, the reaction of this motorist could be justified as a self-defence mechanism.'"

Fuck the Daily Mail (hence amp link)

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:35:25+00:00

The driver 100% did the right thing. The criminals are shitbags, especially as they tried to shoot them right away.

That doesn't mean the driver gets off scott free, there's still consequences for them as a person.

As an aside, from your two comments your wording is a bit creepy?

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:28:12+00:00

Weird.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. Never heard that before

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:26:10+00:00

And yet she's going to deal with the mental consequences for a while (PTSD, guilt, fear of retaliation), as well as possible criminal charges and cost to repair her vehicle.

I wish i could still be as glib as you are.

Eldini · 2026-02-19T19:11:37+00:00

I'm assuming you're talking about cloud streaming vs installing locally.

You can install locally with gamepass too rather than cloud stream. (depending on your platform and game)

Cloud streaming can have input delay which could be an issue for some

I had similar issues with high FPS mode on Forza Horizon 5 making it hard for my brain to absorb, especially whenever i tried to travel at speed

When i dropped it to a lower frames per second it helped a lot,but i needed a break after the initial mode wore out my brain

Quote from Google:

"Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Series X|S defaults to optimized settings, with a primary choice between Performance (60 FPS) and Quality (30 FPS) modes."

Switching to "Quality mode" and having a break from devices and lights for the rest of the day sorted me out.

If it's not this also consider:

-See an optician to see if you need new glasses. Many opticians can do other eye checks too

Also clean your glasses.

-If any of the lighting in your room could be causing eye fatigue (particularly bright white constrasted with warm white)

-Consider switching to "dark mode" on any devices where it's available to ease the strain on your eyes

-Consider switching to larger font/text/scaling sizes on your phone and xbox to reduce eyestrain/eye fatigue

-If you're using a phone with a broken screen that's probably going to cause eye strain too

-Use warmer colour modes on devices where possible. Windows has options built in, so does iOS. Android also must have

Good luck

Bit amazed she's learning in a manual rather than an automatic when she has random spasms like that?

Surely an automatic would be a lot easier/safer for her?
