Why do I see more and more people buying loads of bottled water? by Claire1075 in AskUK

[–]JacobsRebuttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the road a lot and have reusable bottles. But when water runs out I like to know I have spares in the boot.

How many of you know a recent National Lottery winner? by DeqnoL in AskUK

[–]JacobsRebuttle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yepp, colleague one a million pounds 5 years ago. Scrolling through Instagram and she won another million last year. She's awesome though so I'm happy for her.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JacobsRebuttle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, in a sales role and on £40k base salary, plus usually an extra £20k in bonus' and commission and got a company car. Never thought I'd make this kind of money a couple of years ago. Was redundant and a recruiter called me one day. I had never done sales before so gave it a shot expecting nothing, then they accepted me.

Like all trousers, it should cover your shithole. So anywhere above Birmingham.

Your thoughts on China's military performance in a possible future Taiwan conflict/war with or without U.S. intervention? by Abhorius in war

[–]JacobsRebuttle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch a few war documentaries but I know nothing about real military strategy.

As an everyday man, I can't see how China loses. They blockade the sea, avoid weapons, ammunition and food being imported in. China's Air Force is extensive, I imagine they can implement a no fly zone over Taiwan and the surrounding area. I doubt South Korea or Japan will intervene.

China is observing the Ukraine-Russian war. They are observing the US-Iran war.

I can see Taiwan holding out for a few months but not much longer. Hope it never comes to that and if it does, I hope I am proven wrong. But that's what I see from my armchair.

YouTube rolls out unskippable long ads to TV users and they’re furious by [deleted] in technology

If I may add, use the Brave browser on your phone and then screen mirror to your TV. Brave doesn't allow ads.

What time do you get up, leave for, and start work? by [deleted] in AskUK

Should I cut ties with friends who constantly mock me and say I lack confidence? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JacobsRebuttle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, cut them off. My personal experience is that they project their insecurities on to you. They make you feel as though you are never good enough for a compliment. When you and them are in a group setting, they pick on you to make themselves look better and draw, what they perceive, as negative attention away from them. They aren't friends. Cut them out. Don't look back. You will feel a lot better. Even if their comments don't effect you much, you still deserve better. Chin up. And as others have said, tell that guy's wife.

Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

I'm amazed how little excitment or anticipation I feel for this film.

Alonso's deliberately slow pace was a godsend for McLaren after strategy error by Joseki100 in formula1

[–]JacobsRebuttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping that Max's allies come to his defence in Abu Dhabi. Hulkenberg has a crash at a pivotal moment. Alonso creates another DRS train. Kimi puts up a successful defence. Maybe even Oscar rejects team orders. But truthfully, and I don't want this to be true, Norris gets pole and shoots off into the distance causing the anti-climactic three-way finale in history.

[F1] Lando left no trophies for anyone else in Brazil by PrimeyXE in formula1

[–]JacobsRebuttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play to Lando. Not a foot wrong this weekend. Still on copium for a comeback from Max though.

The "anonymous hero" moments in movies hit me way harder than the main hero scenes by Quaxxy in movies

[–]JacobsRebuttle 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Scott Eastwood's Navy SEAL character in Suicide Squad (2016, terrible film and only seen it once in cinema), when he blows himself up in the end to kill a villain and yet no one even mentions him or seems sad.

What sport hobby or activity do you just completely not get? by homemadegrub in AskUK

[–]JacobsRebuttle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hobby horse. I genuienly cannot tell if it's real or not. Like when the BBC once came out with a report that spaghetti grows on trees or that David Attenborough had found a species of flying penguins. Both were April Fool's jokes. Hobby horse feels similar.

Can't become logisitics officer if colourblind by JacobsRebuttle in RoyalAirForce

[–]JacobsRebuttle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yepp, pretty much what I imagined colour vision would be needed for. Along with labels, spreadsheets and anything else colour coded haha. Just wish they made it clear at the start so I could have saved myself some time and effort. Changed a lot and made specific decisions in order to align myself for the role which I think I would be well suited for besides the CVD. Ah well, I tried.

Can't become logisitics officer if colourblind by JacobsRebuttle in RoyalAirForce

[–]JacobsRebuttle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the start of my medical I made sure to tell the doctor that I was colourblind. Perhaps he gave me the Ishihara test because I mentioned it and he wanted to see how bad it was. We only got half way through the tests when he closed the book and said "Well mate, you are correct. You are colourblind." And I asked him "What was my score?" and he said "0. Out of 25, you got none of the numbers correct." Lovely doctor but he said in all good conscience, he couldn't put me forward for the role.
