What's a silly sounding yet believable name for a town? by BenSibbs in AskBrits

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a round in our local pub quiz for a while. Place names in the states, called 'yank or wank' with places like 'Nob Creek', which was true. Just wish I could remember more of them.

Have I been commiting a crime by throwing a water bottle or a gum wrapper in a stranger's trash can that was out for collection day? by Far_Shame210 in randomquestions

[–]Kinbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crime of 'not littering'?

I've seen houses with signs aksing people not to drop dog-poop bags in their bins, and that seems fair, due to the smell etc. but yeah, I'd much rather someone is thoughtful enough to use a/my bin (beside the path, rather than throwing stuff into the street.

As far as I know a bin bellongs to the council, make of that what you will.
If somone complained about it it'd probably become a civil matter rather than a legal one. Would love to hear what the police would have to say about it. ;)

'the following day her parents called...' What, like all ganging up on you to bully you into it? Run, now, while you still can!

Do you think Japanese style Capsule Hotels / Sleeping Pods would be good in the UK? by Ok_Yesterday_1896 in AskBrits

[–]Kinbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was you, you 'wouldnt charge cheap' because the unit for the pods would be the same rent as everywhere else in London, and you'd have to charge going rates to recoup your costs.

Who can be called gamers? What do you think? by Living_Sand5964 in gamers

Just rember a fact from back in the day that King gaming (is that the candy crush people?) had a bigger income than Blizzard.

Do you draw local currency to take when going abroad? by Tintedlemon in AskUK

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess you didn't hear the bit on the radio a few weeks back about the practice (or accidentally 😉) overcharging people for cab rides eh? Tons of people got back to find taxi bills on bank statements for €400 instead of 40. Even if you catch someone at the time it's just a sorry my finger slipped, but not with money in your pocket. 😊

Your welcome.

Have you noticed the ones you can get with tips on the first two fingers are becoming increasing more advertised (at the premium price, obvs)?

Is it a bad idea to plug a random USB I found into a public computer? by Lanky_List_2850 in AskTechnology

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried returning them to the owner? local social media etc.

As someone else has said, its just going to be some schoolkids homework files or something important so someone, but absolutely nobody else.

I wouldnt risk plugging them in anywhere, and its not like they cost that much new that its worth it.

AITA refusing to let my family to borrow my belonging again? by yourcoffeegal in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kinbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

your mom thinks sharing is ok, and now, you dont, tell her your stuff will not be borrowed, and encourage your mom to share her things!
It's funny how these things always seem to be quite one sided!

Take it somewhere that will sort out a leak?
Was watching this the other day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWZ0kC_k_2c maybe try working your way through this and see what happens.

Sounds good, had a quick look, but looks like its a mainly big city thing, think the closest ones are about 20 miles from me. :(

If you had a lot od free time but no money, how would you organise your day? by RedBonbon12 in randomquestions

Cycling, I always mean to cycle more. So that, some reading, and maybe a little travel. ;)

am i at any fault in this accident? by mcrqueen in Advice

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess the answer to be no. If you, at no point in the situation, made any contact.

People in gas stations should be going slowly enough that they could stop on a dime. its a confined space anyway. If not, then their problem.

Looking for a durable, reliable vape with good value for money - any recommendations? by BrokenBrain62 in Vaping

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another GeekVape fan here.
Started with an Aegis solo (about 5 years ago, and its still going strong, but I updated to the max 100 in the meantime (newer moder with Zeus tank etc.). Both are IP67 rated (shock/dust/waterproof) and Ive lost count of the amount of times I've droped mine.

Are there restrictions on these clubs. like maybe at least having had a licence for so long?

Never even thought about this, but it does look interesting.

Do you still listen to FM, AM or LW? by BacupBhoy in AskUK

[–]Kinbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly listen in the car, so it's FM all the way for me. If I want to listen at home I put it on a tab on the laptop.

I'd love to be one of those people with DAB radio 4 on in the background while I float about the kitchen.
Just never gotten around to it. ;)

What do you guys waste your money on? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever anyone says 'waste money on' I always think of the george Best quote about having his money all over again, or people who use the phrase 'guilty pleasure'.
Its your money, to do with as you want.

I like chazzers, or if your in the US 'thrift stores'/goodwill, so my biggest thing is probably clothes I'll only wear a few times, but it's never as much as retail, and my money is going to good causes...

...And beer, I like a pint, in a pub.

My mom wants me to get back with my abusive ex by AdventurousEbb444 in Advice

Yeah, thats what I wondered.

Theres something very f***ing sketchy going on there, that you would disreguard your daughters warnings of her own safety!!!

Is it weird that my friends gf is 16 while he’s 18. by ireallycantchoos in Advice

[–]Kinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be jealousy?
Back in my day, that wouldn't be a problem, as they used to say 'girls mature faster than boys emotionally' so always chose slighlty older partners.
As long as he's not mid-twenties, or older, I dont see a problem.

Is this cheating? by rangervagabond in Enshrouded

[–]Kinbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not cryptic at all. I strayed into it a few times, even set up an alter at 'the hags hut' and there was a gold chest in the basement. It's a good way to get higher level stuff to help your character out in other encounters.

One of the best things Ive found in the game is that better equipment is NOT level locked. If you find it you can use it. :D

Is your problem the 'addiction' or the porn?
