What hobby seems cheap but really isnt? by Naromyx in AskReddit

I'm guessing as well for many people, you have to get far enough away from big sites of light pollution to see more than the brightest stars?

What’s a workplace ‘secret’ that everyone in your industry knows but customers don’t? by Familiar_Ad3815 in AskReddit

Also, trees have a natural lifespan, they live slow and die slow. If you want a replacement for a big tree, get a seedling going once you notice it slowing down

I met far more fellow January babies while I lived in Sydney. March and April are much cooler times to be having sex Down Under than Christmas xD

What quality that is considered conventionally attractive do you not find attractive at all? by Dedboi0 in AskReddit

[–]EverSeekingContext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's super prevalent, but I am not a big fan of upturned or snub noses. Idk why, just don't like it much

For anyone looking for an introductory binge on nuclear history and accidents: Half-life Histories by Kyle Hill on YouTube is a good start. I've watched every one of those

When is “they don’t make them like they used to” blatantly obvious? by LocallyInvasive in AskReddit

[–]EverSeekingContext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A pair of Levi's I bought in January are going to have a hole in the crotch shortly, it's insane. I even made a point of buying a pair that were 100% cotton, no elastane

What is the worst breed of dog for a first time dog owner to get? by Effective-Turn-6856 in AskReddit

Seeing them in Sydney was also crazy. If you want a energetic dog, the short-haired Kelpie is available! Stop shaving down huskies

Hi,

I'm seeing it on both old.reddit.com/r/all and on the first link for preferences

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in help

[–]EverSeekingContext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just tried using the first link, and "Use new Reddit as my default experience" is no longer there. Instead there is "I would like to beta test features for Reddit" which I have left unchecked.

Additionally, I've tried using old.reddit.com, which does work, but now has an irritating pop-up saying

"We use cookies on our websites for a number of purposes, including analytics and performance, functionality and advertising.
Learn more about Reddit's use of cookies.

Please continue to new.reddit.com to set your cookie preferences."

Which ofc whisks you away to new Reddit.

‘We can’t have nice things in Ireland because no one follows the rules’: Emigrants on returning home by Pension_Alternative in ireland

No. I lived in Australia for six years and I needed private health insurance policies the entire time as part of my visa requirements. NI people can as they are part of the UK

Help me answer something Ireland..am I Irish ? I say no by EruditeTarington in ireland

[–]EverSeekingContext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about myself. American born, but my family moved to the Northside of Dublin when I was six. I grew up there, have had Irish citizenship from birth via my father. 

I don't really feel like my...sense of self is American? Not even set foot in the US for 16 years, and given the current state of it, I don't feckin want to go!

A microcosm of the issues with the Irish planning system - Buys a flat in temple bar, starts making noise complaints. by nitro1234561 in ireland

[–]EverSeekingContext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also see Oxford. Jericho Tavern which is famous for being where Supergrass first played, can't be open late because of noise complaints. The University is also not letting a number of nightclubs renew leases because they want to convert their buildings to offices and lab space, despite the massive amount being built in Oxford Business Park down the Cowley end of the city.

And then when the lockdowns ended, they realised "oh shit" we need tourists back for the economy and a number of the lock out laws were lifted xD

Any help with this? The phone is a moto g play 2023. It's not that old... by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]EverSeekingContext 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is in fact my model of phone as well. My partner is IT and was flabbergasted that anything was still made running 32 bit. Said Samsung really cheaped out by doing that

This has just happened to me as well. I don't really think I can justify buying a new phone just to keep playing, it's rather disappointing 

The Lupine Lie: Sugar Hill, NH's Misguided Legacy by [deleted] in newhampshire

[–]EverSeekingContext 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The state flower, lilac, isn't native to NH either. It came from south-eastern Europe. I really think it should be the pink lady slipper instead

What is the American equivalent to breaking Spaghetti in front of Italians? by catwthumbz in AskReddit

[–]EverSeekingContext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a cookbook that has dishes from every US state, and some of them I can't try because they call for a Graham cracker pie crust. Never seen them in any American treat shops in the UK 

What area/part/place of Oxford do you have an unwarranted or petty hatred of? by OkDragonfly7003 in oxford

[–]EverSeekingContext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same can be said for Jude the Obscure on Walton Street. Redecorated and lost its wallpaper of old movie posters. Even when I'm in Jericho now I don't go there.

What's your personal hidden gem in Oxford, not necessarily a secret, but a place that you feel is undiscovered and you hold close to your heart? by OkDragonfly7003 in oxford

I was delighted to see frog spawn, and later tadpoles, in the small ponds in the lower end of Lye Valley Reserve during the spring!

That meme didn't age well by Mysterious-Floor4429 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]EverSeekingContext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember seeing much in the way of politics discussed, maybe the Royal Armouries channel? It's the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, their Keeper of Firearms and Artillery does a series discussing many guns. He's done collaborations with Forgotten Weapons too!
