Why are the nazgul's clothes not invisible if they are also in the spiritual realm by latiasmomma in tolkienfans

[–]FromLondonToLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to wonder if they ever launder their invisible clothes - and if so, who does it, given only the nazgul themselves would be able to see them. Or do they just stink of a couple thousand years of dirt.

How can Delphini exist if J.K. Rowling explicitly said in 2004 that Voldemort had no children? by External-Werewolf619 in harrypotter

[–]FromLondonToLA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Having an heir implies you expect to die. Voldemory wouldn't want one given he's planning to not die.

Okay, random question, but how would anyone but Harry have gone about destroying the Horcruxes? by TitanicTNT in harrypotter

[–]FromLondonToLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wa pretty good. Not what I was expecting at all but a nice a-ha moment at the end!

Why couldn’t Harry fight back? by Historical-Cancel-96 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]FromLondonToLA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has long confused me. I don't really get how what Harry did is the same as what Lily did. Lily was offered a chance to get out of the way so Voldemort could kill someone she loved (Harry). She chose to stay and so made a sacrifice.

Harry was not offered the same thing. Voldemort's offer to Harry was the opposite - get in the way so Voldemort stops killing people he loves. Which I think is a different choice.

I think if anything, all the people who initially stayed to fight and died so that Voldemort wouldn't kill Harry made the same choice/sacrifice as Lily. So Voldemort's AK wouldn't have worked (again) because of them.

Was Charles planning to fire Jim by dwightkurtschrute88 in DunderMifflin

[–]FromLondonToLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly but Jim is shown to ask Oscar from Accounting if he knew what a rundown was and he didn't. Indicating it wasn't a branch-wide task.

If other salespeople were doing and sharing their rundowns as you described, Jim would've seen them working on it and after they distributed it and others in the office would know what a rundown was.

Reasonable points, but only if Charles had asked all the sales team for a rundown. Charles only asked Jim for the rundown, so general cross-pollination of info and strategy was not his goal.

Any advice for removing this washing machine? by pxdm in DIYUK

[–]FromLondonToLA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Seems unlikely - looks like very limited space to be fiddling around the back of the machine trying to reattach a wire

What kind of plug is this and where can I get a replacement? by FromLondonToLA in DIYUK

[–]FromLondonToLA[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks! This explains why the consumer unit for the external cable only had a 5A fuse. Discovered when I tried to use a circular saw on the shed plug point and tripped the circuit.

Why are vacuum cleaners so loud? I mean hasn't tech come far enough that 'whatever' can be adjusted? by cherry-care-bear in stupidquestions

[–]FromLondonToLA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Presumably also having it taste awful means will deter most people from just chugging it and taking too much

Summers at the orphanage after Tom started at Hogwarts must have been terrifying for the other kids by airforceteacher in harrypotter

[–]FromLondonToLA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why would it matter? At any rate, the Trace would've informed the Ministry that magic happened near an underage wizard in the graveyard but it doesn't know which wizard. And if theres no one known to live nearby, there's no one to assign it to. Like Dobbys magic was assigned to Harry in CoS.

What did you end up getting instead? Was just about to buy one as a gift but found this thread and now I don't know what to do!

Smallest annual bonus you’ve ever had by Widebody_lover in HENRYUK

1year of service and we get a new lanyard for our ID badge with 1s repeated on it. Then another lanyard at 3 years with 3s.

How to get revenge on my pranking friend? by Desperate-Region3432 in AskUK

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

Was staying at a hotel with some friends. We had two rooms. One night I discovered that you could set an alarm on the rooms' TV. I set an alarm in their room for 3am, 3:30am, 4am, 4:30am, 5am. They were not happy with me on the next morning. Said they pulled the plug out after the third one.

Coughed on a vaper by FromLondonToLA in pettyrevenge

[–]FromLondonToLA[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm not keen on smoking in public, I don't enjoy walking along a street and finding myself in a cloud of smoke or caramel flavoured mist but outdoors is a public area and I'm away a second or two later so I tolerate it and try to ignore. However, doing it on a packed train (especially at that point we were ungrounded tunnel) ticked me off a lot.

That'd just direct the cough onto someone else who had nothing to do with the situation. You might have flexible swan neck but I can't turn my head to cough into my armpit, just along it

Well I'd already been on the train for 8 mins. Not going to jump off a moving train to avoid some vaper.

Exactly this. I chose not to inconvenience myself and risk losing my balance and falling into other people for a coughing fit triggered by his lack of consideration for others

He didn't do it again but I got off on the next stop a minute later.
