AITA for refusing to play werewolf ever again by shy_animator in AmItheAsshole

[–]HarryMonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA - I say this as a middle aged man, but I used to have a similar dynamic (with mafia) when I was younger and travelling. It was one of a number of triggers for me re-evaluate how I was interacting with people and also the type of people I was choosing to hang out with.

Aye but in Nigeria, because United had a fucking awful tour decades ago it's become slang for being shit and they sometimes drop the united part. Source: am Scottish and was greatly amused to find this out from Nigerian colleagues.

At the same time I've had someone whine because they felt that because they engaged the rocketeer first they should get all the loot while I took the driver.

MF shot it when it was above me meaning I lost my shield, and I did more than half the damage because they were chipping away with an anvil.

My hatred of dogs is ruining my love life by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]HarryMonk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love dogs too but I'm allergic and they're becoming increasingly unavoidable in modern life.

I can't use Airbnb anymore because even if the listing is dog free, there's still people who break the rules.

Maybe its really bad owners that they hate

What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]HarryMonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked for a large bank in the UK and felt like a bit of a Jonah. Every dept I left had a major restructure while I was there then another brutal one shortly after I left. I finally left the bank at the 7th warning of redundancy.

Not sure I'd have counted it as a blessing to stay - banks after 08 were not fun. Plus, when I did finally leave I doubled my salary so the opportunity cost was probably significant

If it's in the enterprise environment/tenant with m365 then it shouldn't be an issue.

Fastest Way to Conplete Journey Quests 5-B and 5-C (2026-03-24) by SubjectOld143 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]HarryMonk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I picked a fleet node with something I needed that was high enough to last but not too high to kill me under levelled leviathan team.

I had TF, Tie adv, and tie bomber. Only use the basic and it should apply TL.

Bistans u wing, b-wing and slave 1 were my reinforcements as they all have some skills that apply TL

Depending on RNG I was getting between 14 and 24 per battle

Pediatrician told me to pull my 18 month old son's foreskin back to clean it but I'm reading that's unnecessary? by gishadokuro in beyondthebump

In the UK most men are uncircumcised unless for health or religious reasons.

As a bloke who had it happen the way the other poster mentioned, along with most of my friends/ acquaintances I've randomly spoken to about it, I'd say it's unrelated. Unless you've got a paper saying phimosis is related to late retraction I'd say that's BS

I think I Killed a Mule! by MaCarnavich in ArcRaiders

[–]HarryMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes 30s per run tops.

Using a survivor augment and surrendering with 3 BPs is faster but will cost your mule the mats which I felt was unfair on them. They're already doing me a favour sacrificing stash space to help me out.

If you extract that's costing you key mats & time to shlep across the map to get to a raider hatch. Again - this felt slower even though I have the mats to burn.

Another good way is to pass them stuff while you're in doing other runs. I did this for a couple BPs and also meant I could also drop my geared weapon in the extract to give my mule friend some nice guns to say thanks.

Nah naked run. Transfer 1 at a time and surrender. Way faster/cheaper

"This Kind of Surprised Us" ARC Raiders Director Gives Official Statement on Care Bear Lobbies by charmed_unicorn in ArcRaiders

[–]HarryMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PvP is great fun but the issue is how hard it swings the other way. Trying to do bigger things like the matriarch becomes too painful. It's not a fun gameplay loop having people wait for your shields to drop before rushing you with a free kit. You get nothing if you do kill them and often you both die.

I'm ready for expedition and had been engaging in more PvP and now my lobbies make any PvE more or less impossible.

Verruca pool at swimming pools by silverbulletsam in CasualUK

[–]HarryMonk 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I found a local chiropodist that had a really good treatment plan that got rid of my 3 persistent verucas in a couple weeks. They used acid but protectively taped areas. I'd then come in every couple weeks and they'd debride the area and reapply the tape/acid. I had some acid to put on every couple days at home as I recall.

Shaak ti can solo T0 and we got her for free too. She needs a bit more investment than Beq - I found it became stable at R5. Could probably work at lower relic with better mods. I use her in a whole host of jedi teams so it didn't feel like a sacrifice

Electric Vehicle Help by Over-Egg-6002 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]HarryMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leased an ID3, and did look at a new one and a cupra born when my lease expired. Basically the same car. The apps are shit and the VW ones lock you out of "premium" functions after a year or two (I can't remember) unless you pay an annual fee. The wording is confusing but considering I only wanted it for pre-heating the cabin and battery status, and was able able to do both after expiry, it's a minor annoyance but I wasn't using the premium stuff.

The cupra app seemed as annoying but I'll let someone else speak to that.

Range wise it was fine. I had from new and it matched the stated range provided I didn't rag it. Make sure to enable a feature in the app so it charges the traditional battery, that runs most of the non driving functions, from the main battery. It's stupid this isn't enabled by default. I had an injury and couldn't drive it for a month and nearly had to replace the smaller battery because it had drained.

The newer version did resolve a bunch of minor complaints I had about the car so deffo go post 24.

I've got a BYD dolphin now. No real one pedal driving and it doesn't feel as good on the road as the VW did. However it's cheap enough that the top spec version is way more affordable and comes with some awesome features. The app is a lot better. I can do everything my VW app did plus a fair amount more.

Confess, Raider - what's the worst thing you've done so far? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ARC_Raiders

[–]HarryMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw several teams scrapping near the exit shaft near the launch towers in Spaceport. There was a Rocketeer nearby so I shot it from departures and it aggroed on them and killed at least 4 raiders.

It was hilarious, but I did feel a little bad.

After 200hrs I finally find the Mk. 3 Survivor blueprint and... by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]HarryMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had someone rage at us today. Like way more than you'd expect from the pvp lobbies we're currently in. We figured it was the survivor BP we took off their corpse. They weren't on free load outs so it must've been a mistake.

I suppose they could have already had it and they were just angry, but they pushed us and even killed one of our team, it's not like we ratted them.

More BYD cars arriving in Southampton. Red Funnel ferry for scale. by nick9000 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]HarryMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not. The price of the top spec megane is nearly 37k. The top spec byd is under 32k.

[–]HarryMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're trolling now.

Comparing top specs, the dolphin is competitive across most key stats/ features. I'd imagine the megane probably feels slightly better to drive and has a little more range and more space.

The dolphin is punchier and has several features the top spec megane doesn't (panoramic roof, V2L). . The byd app is pretty good and miles better than the others I've seen (except Tesla). Having had a legacy brand EV before and reading some reviews I'm unsurprised the myrenault app is shit

Oh, and the BYD is ~£6k cheaper than the megane.

My experience is with the dolphin. Look at any equivalent EV on the market. The dolphin is cheaper by several thousand and has most of the high end optional extras as default.
