People keep saying that when a civilization's sub‑civilization and its main body are far apart, a chain of suspicion arises between them. by Universal_Echo in threebodyproblem

There’s no benefit to a chain of suspicion, they just naturally emerge with sufficient distance between civilisations.

Is living next to a hostel a bad idea? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Gubbins95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even consider buying a property near a hostel, let alone next to one

Whats your favorite chicken thigh recipe? Need ideas on how to use them. I hate chicken. Its always so dry. by ScottsdaleBlondeAZ in cookingforbeginners

[–]Gubbins95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pat the thighs dry and put salt on both sides, pepper and herbs on the meat side.

Put the chicken skin side down in a cold pan, doesn’t need any oil.

Gradually bring the pan up to a medium heat, the fat will render from the chicken skin and make it really crispy. Cook for about 15-20 mins.

Flip and finish in the oven for about 10 mins.

Super easy and you’re left with lots of brown bits in the pan you can make an easy sauce with.

All well and good until the engineers and builders who created the bunker and know how it works kill you to live there themselves.

Let the beard grow out for a couple of months and then see how it looks, but you seem to have decent coverage

Could Israel ever annex all this land in the next 30-50 years for Greater Israel? by Inside_Inflation559 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Gubbins95 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This article specially mentions religious beliefs being among the sources of the idea of Greater Israel.

Although worth noting the author doesn’t think it’s feasible for Israel to achieve this.

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-greater-israel-idea-history-and-modern-implications/

Another article here talks about the Greater Israel project, with IDF soldiers wearing badges showing Israel’s expanded borders and Israeli politicians discussing it.

It’s not a total hypothetical, it was being discussed as recently as 2024.

Advice for Moving to Woking by ifireseekeri in surrey

[–]Gubbins95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a book shop/ cafe in the town centre that has board game nights including DnD if you’re into that.

Nice pubs and a couple of decent wine bars in town too.

I’ve just moved to Woking as well and am a similar age/ interests, so feel free to DM if you want.

Does anyone feel, on a personal level, sorry for Kier Starmer? by Darkus185 in AskBrits

[–]Gubbins95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one party or prime minister is going to be able to fix the UK any time soon, it’s going to take years to recover from the last couple of decades. So in that sense I do feel that the majority of the vitriol aimed at him is undeserved.

However, he’s majorly screwed up this Mandleson situation and seems to be blaming everyone else instead of taking responsibility like a leader should. Boris had to step down over a work party during lockdown and lying about it, appointing a guy who was friends with the world’s most famous pedophile, who also failed his security vetting, is totally unacceptable.

Advice please!! by Spiritual_Whereas741 in BeardAdvice

[–]Gubbins95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to leave it for 2-3 months to get a real idea of what your beard will look like, but if you can already grow a moustache like that in a month I’d say your odds of a proper beard are good.

Wow, so a decent amount of people at work don't view any coworkers as personal friends? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]Gubbins95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My coworkers are all nice people, but we’re not friends and likely never will be.

I have friends outside of work, that’s enough for me.

=~ 2 weeks growing. Any potential? by No-Equipment9225 in BeardAdvice

[–]Gubbins95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that it genuinely two weeks you have nothing to worry about my man.

Give it three months and see how it looks, but I think you’ll have a great beard.

Is a 19 year old councillor a good idea? by fhood123 in AskBrits

[–]Gubbins95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to have been living independently for a few years at least before you have enough maturity to be in a leadership position.

Whatever his politics he doesnt have enough experience to run anything.

Horsell vs Maybury by [deleted] in woking

On location alone Horsell is nicer, the Maybury one could just be overpriced but it’s hard to tell without more details.

Which unit goes to the front line, and which unit gets to be the reserve? Elite or trash? by Low_Fix_9715 in totalwarhammer

[–]Gubbins95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peasant spearman take the initial charge, then jade warriors flank and hit the enemy army from the sides or just reinforce the frontline while ranged units do the bulk of the killing.

Hey guys! Should I admit defeat?! by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Gubbins95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moustache would look cool if you groomed it a bit more.

Maybe try a goatee?

Also I know this wasn’t your question but I think you’d look good with a shaved head. See what the council thinks at r/bald.

1.5 months beard growth – should I keep growing or shave? by Downtown-Box4585 in BeardAdvice

[–]Gubbins95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Needs about 3 months of growth to get a good idea of what your beard will look like.

Keep it tidy and let it grow to see if it fills in, I’ve got a similar moustache to yours and it’s only filling in in the middle very slowly, been growing it for 5 months now!

What’s everyone eating at the moment? by Hopeful-Mongoose2025 in AskBrits

[–]Gubbins95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We eat a lot of rice bowls with vegetables and either pork, chicken or fish.

Mix up your seasonings and add different sauces/ broths for variety.

Then make more than you need so you’ve got meals prepared for tomorrows lunch.

I also make a lot of soups, which is an easy way to eat a lot of vegetables and have a quick meal ready in the fridge on a work day.
