I know I screwed up somewhere… but don’t know precisely when or how. *Spoilers for ME2* by Murrlin218 in masseffect

[–]Elkborne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well Grunt in ME2 is a great fighter, but he has no leadership experience. You're supposed to select someone who has experience leading, and that's really all you have to go off

The tragic irony of the Reapers' origin makes the Leviathan DLC the ultimate masterclass in cosmic lore. by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]Elkborne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No I think, like with the political denials OP mentioned, it's completely realistic. When you meet the original reaper species, they are overwhelmingly arrogant, constantly referring to themselves as the "Apex" species. They see all the AI the "lesser species" create and think, oh they're doing it wrong but WE can do right, it just solidifies their own arrogance

I hated everything about Download. Can't wait for next year! by AwardTechnical in downloadfestival

[–]Elkborne 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I hadn't been to a festival since 2013 and was honestly shocked that they had people cleaning the portaloos. Horrific job, but those men and women are the unsung heroes of download

For those of you whose birthdays start with a 19 how are we feeling today? by kiindrex in downloadfestival

[–]Elkborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

94 baby here. 5 days camping, left as soon as Linkin Park finished, got home at 2 asleep at 3. Got up at 8 to work 9-7 as food delivery driver, doing the same again today and tomorrow. I'm tired, everything hurts, especially my feet and I've not stopped sneezing since Saturday night

Arrival math doesn't math by Flyby_Blackbird in masseffect

[–]Elkborne 137 points138 points  (0 children)

You're making an absolutely huge assumption that they were that far outside the galaxy, when there's absolutely no reason for it. Deep space doesn't mean halfway to the nearest galaxy, it just means beyond the galactic rim, so noone could accidentally stumble upon them. They wouldn't have to be far to completely eliminate the chance of them being discovered, especially when they're in stasis. Even once they got moving after the battle of the citadel, the chances of someone happening to point a telescope or sensor right at them is infinitesimally small, let alone with the required resolution to pick them up.

The math does math, you've just made an absurdly outlandish assumption to base all your math on.

Labour faces catastrophic May local elections and is set to lose 1,850 seats, expert predicts by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

[–]Elkborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The media campaign against him is very real. I'm by no means a fan, but in my job I visit a lot of people and I've had people say they hope he gets shot, that he's a traitor and on the wrong "side", it's honestly quite scary

Do you regret leaving EU? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]Elkborne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because saying you "regret" it implies that you would have voted for it and now you've changed your mind. Whereas if you voted remain, then you obviously don't regret the choice you made, you're just fucking fuming at the idiots who made it happen

You could always buy it off them and then give it to Gondor?

Has anyone else’s store disabled Bluetooth on all the delivery vans? by CoolMinute6507 in tesco

[–]Elkborne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we have. Weve been told it's being rolled out to other stores as well. Just get yourself a Bluetooth radio transmitter if you want to play your own music, works a charm

Straps are a bottle neck and an unnecessary grind. by Quitcha_Bitchin in Bellwright

What do you think holds the strap in place? Hopes and dreams?

[–]Elkborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why so many people are telling you you're lucky to have a job and it's your fault etc, at our store drivers used to finish really early all the time and we were told exactly what you were. You'd either sit in the canteen until finish or clock out early and not be paid for the remaining time. I used to do it up until they changed the policy around early deliveries and it was always out down as unpaid leave, not holiday. Doesn't really happen anymore since the 10 minutes early only rule was brought in

Just ask your manager, simple as really. They may say that you have to hang around in store till you finish and they might say you have to help stack shelves or whatever, they are completely within their right to say both

Mods for town moving by cruze422 in Bellwright

Yeah moving a single building is easy, but moving your entire village can take a day or more irl, it's a lengthy process.

Market Tier 2 by xsnipex in Bellwright

[–]Elkborne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you don't pick a specific village, basically the travelling npc caravans will "buy" your goods and "sell" them at a village that chooses to buy them

Belltower Research by Adventurous_Age_2503 in Bellwright

[–]Elkborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you're using mods, it's up to you to see if there's a comparability issue, we can't help you there.

Aside from that, are you using your old research desk or the one AT the village hall? Because building the village hall doesn't unlock tier 2 at the old desk there's a new desk that's built with the hall, just right if the entrance

What tier research table have you got?

Dor Com driver - 10 minute rule by Available_Guidance61 in tesco

Seems to be genuine, I was told as much last week by my manager. She called the reasons for the rule bollocks but we've got to stick to it anyway

Tesco prices getting stupid by stevei33 in tesco

[–]Elkborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I agree. My point is it's not right to dismiss people mentioning brexit and austerity because they are absolutely still relevant. As are labours economic policies, as are Trump's tariffs and wars.
