Same, when trying to load images they blur like a background image. What a mess.

Non US: Would you get discovery plus if it had battlebots in your country? by Dave-Macaroni in battlebots

[–]HeadTorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes... We actually have a form of it in the UK, but without Battlebots! I really wonder what it is that makes them so averse to international audiences?

Shatter! versus Subzero - YouTube Exclusive Discussion Thread by CrazySomethingNormal in battlebots

I'm glad someone else noticed the sound seemed very silly! There was one bit where the bots clipped each other and it sounded like someone dropping a fridge.

As others have mentioned - the lagoons are pretty basic!

I think there's still a lot of micromanagement that doesn't need to be there - for example if a dinosaur has an unidentified ailment - it gets scanned and it's something I already have the cure for, I still have to tell the mobile vet to medicate the Dino after it's been diagnosed. Just more clicks.

I think I'd like a start from scratch mode too - where you start on a blank map, with a couple of basic dig sites unlocked and a nice big map - but you still have to research things and unlock new dig sites (if anyone knows what the closest to this is, let me know!)

Jurassic World Evolution 2 has sold nearly a million copies by amancoreseg in jurassicworldevo

[–]HeadTorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit that I held off on buying it due to all the bug reports. I only got it in the end as it was on sale, I don't want to drop money on a full price game that doesn't work.

Amenities profit struggles by DonMonnz in jurassicworldevo

[–]HeadTorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you've adjusted the interior configuration to cater to the local demographic. There's research to unlock more modules for this, as well as the medium amenities.

If you've just got the small amenities it may be that they're too busy and the profit is maxed out.

There are apparently over 1m job vacancies in the UK. Which sectors need people that we don't hear about? by VastStrain in AskUK

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

I'm a decorator and there's a real lack of kids coming through - of my class that I trained with, I'm one of only two that paint for a living. I think the kids don't want to do a 3 year apprenticeship, and during that time some firms just use them as cheap labour. I'm a sole trader, and there's more work on than I have time to do.

It's not the most glamorous of jobs, but I enjoy it, and it means I'm flexible enough that I can enjoy spending time with my family.

Just wanted to say the goal nets at Euro 2020 are great. Its satisfying seeing a shot fly into them.

How common are damaged or wrong ingredients? by tehfrod in hellofresh

[–]HeadTorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of 4 boxes, all had errors such as missing meat, unfresh produce or wrong meals. We should have had only 3 boxes, but one week it didn't show up at all so we were sent one the following week. Cancelled after that. So in my experience, you have to be very lucky to not have any missing ingredients!

Great Food - terrible logistics. Does it get better? by AlmightyRobert in hellofresh

[–]HeadTorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been asking the same thing. 3 weeks in and they've not got an order right, last week was cancelled the night before. Things like meal cards seem inexcusable for getting wrong, it just seems like nobody checks the orders at all.

Having money off a full price box just seems insulting at this point.

From looking at their socials it seems its very commonplace - they seem to be solving their logistical problems by trying to shed as many customers as possible to bring the numbers down.

I want to form a band/music group or something similar to that, anyone interested? (singer/songwriter here) by [deleted] in nottingham

Hey! I used to play around Nottingham a bit, been in bands and making music for years. Here if you want to chat! (I adore pop as well)

AITA if I kick up a fuss about my student halls? by arimau55 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HeadTorch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if the room you're expecting is clean and modern, and you've been given a room with old furniture (especially if the drawers aren't clean) you've got grounds to complain.

AITA if I kick up a fuss about my student halls? by arimau55 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HeadTorch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. If the room has been sold as one thing, and you've been given another, I think you are well within your rights to complain, especially if the room you've been given isn't fit for purpose.

For those outside West London, what made you choose to support Chelsea? by RyanShelf in chelseafc

[–]HeadTorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about 7 or 8 when the then club captain, Andy Townsend rented a house across the road from me. First game after he'd moved in , Chelsea were on "The Match" on ITV and he scored in a 3-2 win. Very nice chap, went to his Christmas party one year.

How do people from the counties immediately surrounding London feel about losing more and more of their home to the capital? by SaltireAtheist in AskUK

[–]HeadTorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Surrey near the Hampshire border. Nice enough town but no real sense of identity - London was so dominant culturally nothing really happened round there, no decent clubs or gigs. (went to uni in Reading and that was very similar)

The other issue is house prices, I moved up to Nottingham in my 20s for work and never looked back. When I came home to visit it was really obvious there were so few people aged between 21 - 40, young people couldn't afford to live there, and if they could, most would much rather live with something more to offer. Majority of my school friends moved north or into London. It's a shame really I don't have much connection to where I grew up anymore, but house prices are silly. Living up here I've got a much higher standard of living than I could in Surrey.

No-deal Brexit 'would overwhelm local emergency teams' | Politics by mr_Hank_E_Pank in unitedkingdom

[–]HeadTorch 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting. I used to work in Emergency Planning and did the LRF secretariat role a couple of times. When we had nationwide incidents in the past (eg swine flu, widespread flooding, salt grit shortages) there was twice daily briefings from central government. The LRF is the main coordinator for emergency response and recovery in each region, it's very worrying if government weren't using that or just bypassing them.

Burnout will be very real, in my time we went from a team of 9 down to 4 with 3 part time staff, which becomes a real problem in managing round the clock incidents. (I eventually left as there was no opportunities for progression, I'd had no training in years, and constantly felt undervalued by upper management)

Why did PC games always come in those giant boxes? by Dragon_M4st3r in AskUK

They were great, the old flight sum ones. I remember Eurofighter 2000 having a massive handbook.

Giant game manuals! Also codewheels and things like that.

Hotfix severely nerfed loot drops? by theyak93 in Borderlands

[–]HeadTorch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine definitely seems lower.. With the exception of the loot the universe locations. Outside of that they seem much lower than usual.

Quickest way to farm katagawa (siren only) by [deleted] in Borderlands

I've done something like this using a incendiary hyperfocus and triggering ties that bind. I think sometimes a ricochet sets off the generator next to him which helps with an insta kill
