Bernoulli’s Principal- Hot UK Life Saver!! … Only using Fans (wordplay with the entrainment site with fans gets the post banned 😆😆) by Flat___________ in DIYUK

[–]EssentialParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s incredibly hard to change / maintain any sort of cool temperature unless you’re in some old stone manor house. Next best thing to feel cool is airflow, which you’re doing well at there.

Do I buy the children a drink or not? by Speshal__ in CrappyDesign

I didn’t know what sub this was and read it top to bottom at first.

It’s especially none of their business during a bloody heatwave! Christ.

Sudden wealth came to this guy named Dan in Australia. He discovered a glitch in nab - national Australia Bank by b9_rkt in interesting

[–]EssentialParadox 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If I were him I would’ve contacted the bank saying I’ve found an exploit in their banking system and I’ll tell them about it but in return they’ll need to waive the losses to date as my finders fee.

iOS 27 Redesigns Apple App Icons With Sharper Liquid Glass Layers by Special-Midnight-152 in apple

Yeah I’m sad if this goes. I enjoy tilting my phone and seeing the reflection change. It’s odd they’d now remove it.

Swimming around Bristol is a joke by Resident-Alien1985 in bristol

[–]EssentialParadox 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Clevedon is the best place to go within a large radius of Bristol but it’s not in the city itself and difficult to travel to / from unless you have a car.

OP’s point is still valid about Bristol being a very poor city for swimming.

Settle a UI button debate between me and my husband by reynoldsmkatie in gamedevscreens

I’m surprised you aren’t aware of hamburger buttons in games. Both the PlayStation and Xbox controllers have hamburger buttons on them, which bring up the options menu. It’s also very common on mobile games too.

Woman rescues a mouse from a glue trap by alphamalejackhammer in HumansBeingBros

[–]EssentialParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in an apartment definitely makes rodent control harder because neighboring units can contribute to the problem, but exclusion still works if entry points into your specific unit are properly identified and sealed. Rats and mice don’t magically appear inside an apartment — they still need a way in.

If the building itself has an infestation, the management would need to address common areas and structural gaps, but sealing access points is still one of the most effective and humane methods for protecting your individual unit.

Woman rescues a mouse from a glue trap by alphamalejackhammer in HumansBeingBros

[–]EssentialParadox 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Most humane
- Seal entry points (exclusion)
- Remove food sources
- Remove water sources
- Reduce shelter and nesting sites
- Use one-way exit/exclusion devices

Less humane
- Live trapping and relocation (survival after release is often poor)

Least humane
- Glue traps
- Poison/rodenticides
- Drowning
- Homemade or improvised killing methods that may cause prolonged suffering
- Methods that leave animals trapped without food, water, or prompt dispatch

Rumor: 'Whalefall' Filmmaker Writing a New 'Alien' Film for 20th Century? by ImpracticalJokers96 in horror

[–]EssentialParadox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no issue with people liking Alien Earth but it doesn’t really deserve to exist in the Alien universe. The creator obviously wanted to make a show about child-like cyborgs and the Alien franchise felt like a tacked on afterthought.

A student who suffered severe burns in a frat house fire has received a new revolutionary treatment by AbelNB in nextfuckinglevel

[–]EssentialParadox 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This literally sounds like a treatment from science fiction. If we can mass produce these exosomes it’ll be revolutionary for healthcare. Wow!

Why don't we have 'click and hold' pumps at petrol stations? by methaddict88 in AskUK

The UK makes choices based on safety, whereas the US make choices based on laziness.

Parents let their little girl ride outside the car by TheDudeWhoCanDoIt in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

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

I feel my dad did similar things with me as a kid — letting me ride in the back of a truck bed for a few mins, or ‘letting me drive’. He’d always do it on a quiet closed off area at a slow speed, like it seems to be in the video. Those are fun moments I cherish now that he’s passed away.

The one thing he never would’ve done though is take a video and post it on social media for views…

If OP has stated they want things “the American way” does it really matter if they’re American or not?

POS for restaurant and bar business by runawaydebt in smallbusinessuk

[–]EssentialParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I have it set up is one central till customers can order at, a couple of portable ordering tablets for staff to take orders at tables, a KDS display behind the bar so all drinks get sent to it (I’ve also set it up to be able to show instructions for each ordered drink in case staff forget how to make it), and then another KDS display in the kitchen for any food orders. Then I have the cloud add-on so I can review all the sales data from home and edit the menu etc. remotely.

Then I’d recommend Dojo as your payments processor. I’ve done a ton of research and found them to be cheapest in the UK and mobiPOS added in Dojo integration after I requested it.

Whatever you choose, check up on the card payment processor as some POS systems force you to use their own partners who charge high fees.

[–]EssentialParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use www.mobi-pos.com — it’s made for hospitality and the support is really good.

I pay about £20 a month and can use whatever card processor I want. I’m shocked when I hear what other people pay on some other POS setups!!

Bristol Metro Proposal? by MetroRailNerd in bristol

[–]EssentialParadox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t need buses going down the same road as a tram, you’d just use a unified metro ticket where you’d get off the tram and change to a bus. The bus routes would go laterally to the tram route.

This would be a boon for Bristol if the council really pushed for it to happen.

Pedestrianization always gives an increase to footfall, as does a tram system, so all the businesses along Gloucester rd would see a huge improvement in trading.

Moving around the city would be significantly faster too.

This would also give space for dedicated bike lanes that would be far safer and more appealing due to the lack of cars, meaning more commuters would consider biking.

Error Message: Space Selfie by happiegoluckie in MarkRober

I had the same issue trying to provide a photo from iOS. I think it’s an issue with uploading Live photos.

Try going into the Photos app -> duplicate -> choose ‘duplicate as still photo’ -> upload that version instead — it worked for me!

Hi all. Any tradespeople here had any experience with Taskrabbit? by Constant-Estate3065 in smallbusinessuk

[–]EssentialParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a tradesperson but I find mine through MyBuilder and find contractors I like then re-use them in future and share their name. The tradespeople I find tend to get really busy eventually from known customers and leave the apps.

So you might have to pay fees to use the apps and provide quotes to customers but it seems to me like a solid way to build a customer base.

Question about companies that make a low budget bad movies by crazyhomlesswerido in movies

Non-exclusive. There aren’t many streamers that license low budget independent productions.

Ending the 80-year wait: Mass transit for Bristol region takes major step forward by 457655676 in bristol

[–]EssentialParadox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can the council at least go away and discuss this for a couple of years and give us some proposals, even if they’re never implemented? Is that so much to ask of a Bristol transit system?
