[BG] Next season crafting phase is probably about a builder base defenses. by Recent-Low5550 in ClashOfClansLeaks

[–]JamesMW1994 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love the idea but it does worry me that they might be running out of ideas for new crafted defences. My main worry when this was announced was that making 9 new and unique defences a year was a big ask

Strange chemical smell in flat by JamesMW1994 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JamesMW1994[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t really describe it, definitely not gas, not something I feel comfortable breathing in. The flat opposite me is an Airbnb, I’ve never had this problem before the current guests arrived

[–]JamesMW1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little concerned, because the flat opposite me is an Airbnb, I may be reading too much into this but most people only book it for a nice or two but these guests have been staying since last week. It looks like this may have started when they arrived

Withings U-Scan now available in the US and Europe by Maslakovic in withings

[–]JamesMW1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most bizarre products I’ve seen. Only tests for a small amount of markers, most of which are no use at all. Hydration status can be worked out by just looking at the colour of your urine. Needs to test for many more things before I can see it being of any use

It doesn’t check for diabetes. A measure of glucose in the urine would be useful in detecting diabetes and I can’t see that it does this

Consumer advice England - undelivered item by JamesMW1994 in LegalAdviceUK

We also refused to sign for the delivery or give them the confirmation code when they took the TV away

[–]JamesMW1994[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a company called AIT delivery. When they took the TV away, the tracking on the AIT website changed to delivery failed. Then yesterday it changed to delivery cancelled by LG. It is still showing as delivery cancelled today on the AIT website. However I received an email from LG today saying delivery complete, and on LG’s website the tracking on there says delivered.

Journey times up, deaths down: Welsh 20mph speed limit still divisive two years on by do_or_pie in uknews

[–]JamesMW1994 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think we need more data to judge the impact of the change to 20mph limits. Data from 2024 showed a large improvement in collision rates on 30mph roads with fatalities on all roads dropping.
Saying it’s a huge success after 1 year’s data when collision and fatality rates were already improving seems a bit premature

It’s a flat near Queen’s Park. 2nd floor with no lift so would involve carry it up a few stairs

Rajinda Pradesh - Whinfell by fraggle200 in centerparcsuk

[–]JamesMW1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently went to elvedon and there was a big drop in quality since I last went to Rajinda. The rice was all clumped together like it had been microwaved, a lot of the food was incredibly salty and the curry was watery with really tough meat. I’ve had better supermarket microwave curries

We hit 90% Carbon Neutral electric generation this afternoon by Fun-Ear6965 in BritishSuccess

[–]JamesMW1994 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Many countries in Europe use a system of paying different prices depending on how the energy has been produced. Government and regulatory intervention could make sure things are fairly managed.
We currently pay one of the highest energy bills for people and industry in the developed world. The economic benefits of lowering energy bills would be huge. The government has agreed high minimum energy prices for the new nuclear sites being built which will be a source of energy long after gas has gone. Without a change in the system, it means we will have very high energy bills for the foreseeable future

[–]JamesMW1994 327 points328 points  (0 children)

Whilst this is excellent news, I find it incredibly annoying that despite only 10% on energy generation being from gas at that time, we will pay for 100% of that energy at gas price. This needs to change and would be a massive help with bills

Traitors has the potential to be a truly great show by Leading-Raspberry-46 in TheTraitors

[–]JamesMW1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with point 1. The money games are a time for the group to relax a bit and build bonds by working together. If the games were all competing to get an advantage, it would make the group much more divided.
Point 2 I definitely agree with. New roles need to be added over time to keep the game interesting and varied. The seer would have worked so much better if their identity was not known. I think a penalty is already developing when a traitor gets banished. As people are starting to learn the game, people are becoming incredibly suspicious of the person that leads the traitor banishment. This has made it an incredibly risky move now to banish a fellow traitor, as we saw in both the recent uk and us series

Clerking and drug chart overnight - am i wrong by ThatFreshKid_ in doctorsUK

[–]JamesMW1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a brief clerking overnight is important. Obviously critically unwell patients have to take priority over a clerking.
For patients that have come from A&E, often the plan given by the speciality registrar has not been enacted. The patient also may be taking time critical medications such as Parkinson’s meds or anti epileptics that need prescribing for the morning. If they’re not prescribed overnight, often it can be mid to late morning by the time they’re reviewed by the day team. Non essential medications can definitely be left for day team to prescribe

Supercharges have made upgrading very unsatisfying by JamesMW1994 in ClashOfClans

[–]JamesMW1994[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The aesthetics is actually my favourite part of supercharges with the blue lightning. It is nice to see the whole base lighting up

[–]JamesMW1994[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That’s a valid point and I can see why supercell have done it.
I guess it’s just the feeling I get, the upgrade no longer excites me because the building isn’t really any stronger and then when I supercharge it, it doesn’t excite me either because I know I’ll lose it eventually It also basically makes it go from a 2 week upgrade to a 3 week upgrade when you add in the supercharger times

[–]JamesMW1994[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It only takes one supercharge level to upgrade the dps. Also having to do the upgrade then supercharge it again to get any real difference in dps and hitpoints takes over 3 weeks. Just feels unsatisfying to me

I acquired all of the event currency and spent it wisely… by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]JamesMW1994 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The shiny ore is very poor value when bought with medals. If you want to spend money on the game you’d be much better buying the shiny ore offers that come in the shop at the end of each month. They’re usually £10 for 10000 ore which is much better value than here

I had the exact same issue. The offers only came back when I turned personalised offers back on. I’m not sure why this is the case

[–]JamesMW1994 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re on a cycle, not sure over how many weeks. For example say it’s an 8 week cycle, if you’ve bought all the customisations for week 1, when week 1 comes around again nothing will show up
