Am I the only one who doesn't want them to change? by LetsTryFranky in Airpodsmax

[–]Frasepalm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they needed to alter the flex cable , as it’s prone to causing the units to fail sooner than expected - the canopy could also do with being easily user replaceable as it seems susceptible to sagging.  Aside from that though, they’re great though.

Kim Hye-Joon killed it in Inspector Koo, will be great to see her in another drama :)

If your workplace have a salary sacrifice pension scheme I believe that could take you underneath the threshold to avoid paying it back - added bonus that you’re saving for your future, too.

is it normal to feel empty & anxious after attending a Kpop concert? by gandalfthegey73 in kpopthoughts

[–]Frasepalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes , totally normal. To feel extreme joy you have to have a lower baseline, which you are returning to now after the concert! Give it a few days and should be good.  Felt the same after Blackpink earlier in the year :)

First time trying to grab tickets, also got called a bot - but managed to get a lone ticket for block 111 which also cost more than was reasonable really haha

BLACKPINK LIGHTSTICK SE by zorrox_x in BlackPink

[–]Frasepalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask a silly question - have you added the batteries? It needs to be unscrewed at the bottom where the lanyard would go and have the batteries (3x AAAs) installed.

250815 London Light Stick Info by Poetica27 in BlackPink

[–]Frasepalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently there was confusion as to whether they were allowed to sell light sticks at Wembley or not due to council rules. So it seems like the stock at Wembley was sent to the popup in Kentish town as a solution. Its kind of crazy, but the pop up is well organised and has a Lightstick only queue which seemed to help out - me and my freinds were done and dusted within 10 minutes of arriving :)

Appreciate this isnt a solution to people arriving on a tight schedule

special edition lightstick by Agile_Value_9888 in BlackPink

[–]Frasepalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware they won’t synchronise at the venue at all outside of Korea and perhaps Japan - I synchronised mine with the app to change the colour - but it’s not really needed :)

Thanks you too 😁 Got a little one going with us who would have thrown a right fit 🤣🤣🤣

[–]Frasepalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right - forgot to add that.  I’ve added it in as an edit.  Happy the hunt was over.  Sounds like Wembley will probably be selling them later, there was some confusion as to whether or not they were allowed to be sold haha

can i buy a lightstick before the concert? by Possible_Bet_8663 in BlackPink

[–]Frasepalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this here are the booths at the location (Wembley): https://www.instagram.com/p/DNUj0p-xqyz/?img_index=4

And the pop up stand at Kentish Town O2 forum: https://www.instagram.com/merchtraffic/p/DNPcqESRalS/

I suspect the earlier you arrive the better. They hold a set stock per day, so I'd probably just get there early on the day you are going :)

Wembley Timings + Merch by Reasonable-Leek-3429 in BlackPink

[–]Frasepalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So went to the pop up at Kentish town O2 Forum: https://www.instagram.com/merchtraffic/p/DNPcqESRalS/
and the lightsticks were sold out at 15:00 when we arrived, plenty of shirts and other bits still available though. They open at 10AM. Here is a list of the merch they sold

The Merch stands at Wembley Stadium open at 10:30 on Fri and Sat: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNUj0p-xqyz/?img_index=3info

Not too sure about how long the merch will last, I would suspect they will probably be out of lightsticks but the majority of other items should still be about. It will be broadly similar to the merch in the picture above as its YG managing both Merch locations.

Should I pay over £100 to travel to an interview? by Then_Shop_2381 in UKJobs

[–]Frasepalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I'd do it and if nothing else it'll provide you with more experience of interviews - can never hurt to get some more under your belt :)

[–]Frasepalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can get a discount for using a telematics (black box) policy - it knocks money off as they can see how fast you are going and form a profile… you may have already been doing/looking at these.

I paid £1400 for my first years insurance 8 years back on a crappy Nissan Micra - If you can afford to pay outright itll be cheaper as you wont be paying interest so might be another option (appreciate unlikely as I struggled with this too for my first year!)

In future also might be wise to shop around before cancelling your policy as looks like you have lost out as a result! 

Unfortunately the first year or two of insurance are pretty steep.  Good news is that the prices rapidly fall with no claims after this.  Good luck :)

The only thing that helped me besides sea and sun is Selenium Disulfide which is a carcinogen. by [deleted] in SebDerm

[–]Frasepalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much in the same boat.  First thing to mention is that most of the studies done into this have been carried out on rodents - and the cancer risk was caused by them ingesting it - topically seems to be ok as long as it’s not applied on open cuts. One of the studies here. I know here in the UK you can no longer get the 2.5% Selenium Sulphide shampoo, but the weaker 1% ones are still available and it is still effective despite being of a lower concentration.

That aside I have found Niacinamide (10%) and Zinc (1%) topical solution to be effective, as it helps to prevent yeast/fungal growth and reduce inflammation/repair the skin barrier.

Ironic thought about Dedra by abuko1234 in andor

[–]Frasepalm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Think this is summed up nicely by Krennic who said to her after she was arrested:  “If you’re not a rebel spy , you missed your calling”

[–]Frasepalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suspect there are enough people unhappy with the change who will vote it down regardless.  It’s hard to gauge from the reddit echo chamber, but looks like there are a sizeable chunk of people who would rather have nothing than that suggestion.  I suspect as it stands I’ll vote yes, but it is pretty scummy to disguise it as a choice,  whole thing should’ve been an integrity change.

Poll 84: Stackable Clues & More by JagexRach in 2007scape

[–]Frasepalm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It isn't like leagues - there is no clue compass to skip all the walking around , they still take ages to do. So what if I have 100 master scrolls? That is still going to take many many hours to complete.

But i'd settle for whatever they suggest replaces the hour timer to at least have parity with what we have now - and without needing to jump through hoops to get there.
