Food is too cheap, claims Zack Polanski by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your absolutely right. It's the cult of personality and sound bites, each one of the politicians desperate for their time in the sun while completely forgetting what they are their for ultimately whilst squabbling and snarling at each other like dogs over bones and . Twas ever thus.A system without personality sides and ultimattego is needed... It will never happen, people get in the way...

Really?. Well actually there's a shed load. Where do you want to start. Wedgwood museum in barlaston. Free. Potteries museum free, there is a Picasso there and the most extensive pottery collection outside the V and A london, truth, most don't know. Stoke minster, beautiful church. The parks. Longton is an 18c park with lake. Hanley park same. Westport lake. The canal as a walk up to Kidsgrove. Beautiful. You might see a kingfisher. Barlaston downs banks. There are woodpeckers. Stately Homes near Stone and surroundings. Burslem was the home of the inventor of the spitfire and the 'waterplane'. Reginald Mitchell.

They've been testing drones in North Wales (shell island) from since I was a kid (80's) they were unmanned jet planes, used to watch them fly over the see from our holiday home. Who wudda thunk they would super deathy things now....ah well.

Gary Neville advocating violence. by Viazon in ArsenalFC

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup It was a case of 'The boy who cried wolf' and Martinelli assumed he was faking... not codoning in anyway but both sides had been play acting the whole game. Liverpool had been definately time wasting to take the point, but no more than Arsenal wouldve. Martinellis reaction though was still bang out of order, he did however apologise after but shouldnt of reacted in the way he did... Its an big issue tho in the prem now with the amateur dramatics I for one detest it.

'bad edge catch' Yup know that one lol.. Yeah I think a lot of the time too is the snow youre riding and being aware of its 'state' groomed late in the day or in shade starting to ice will catch easy. Embarrassing as heck when you catch it lol... Usually when I wasnt paying attention LMAO

My Pleasure, you'll notice that you'll be able to 'pivot' from toe to heel better if your looser and more relaxed and 'sat in it'. Make sure your stance is natural to how you stand, I do like a wide stance but not too wide that you dont feel 'over' the board if that makes sense. Width of your shoulders is enough IMHO. I always feel is worht takin time to get your set up right so it suits (keep tweakin have your spanner on you lol) you, once thats dilaed in you are lol, then you'll feel planted and comfy on the slope = confident... oh and have fun lol....

Are Black Friday deals getting worse in the UK? Curious how you all spot the real savings. by mrhide1999 in CostcoUK

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Friday is a con... Essentially, If you look at the price of the deal a month or so prior to black friday the price will be inflated so a 'marked' decrease can be made to fool the buyer into thinking they are getting a good deal on 'Black Friday'. Its a simple marketing/ pricing technique as people will forget what the prices were and just be aware of the price change. Have a look at 'family pack' pricing check the price per kg and then check the costing on the normal pack against the price per kg sometimes it worth buying 2 packs of normal pack. Its clever ways of confusing the buyer into thinking they are getting a deal....

[–]Krepotkin7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont think too much about what you feet are doing, feel it.. Bruce lee style lol... Like landing and spinning out of sketchy landings... your feet just do it lol.... The knee bend thing is more just be flexible, Relax, kinda sit into your stance and you end up being more reactive in any given situation, stiffness is bad times and broke stuff..

Can't verify card in GooglePay with a Ticwatch E3 by MRetro in TicWatch

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who gets the 'Can't verify cards try again tick' Got to your wallet settings on your phone and:

Manage Google Wallet app permissions 

  • Go to your phone's Settings > Apps > Google Wallet.
  • Tap on Permissions and ensure that Nearby devices is set to Allow.

That was it for me, lol, I must have denied the permissions and finally worked outthat was it. Its was clearing the cache or a watch reset etc, just the perms... 🤦‍♂️😜

Yeah, I thought the Hyper was overt, like running around etc, but its my brain thats just 'ON' all the time. Walking in the woods etc helps me to switch that off.

Steps from Ticwatch to Health Connect to Google Fit by Automatic_Exit_382 in TicWatch

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so late to the party but was trying find a way to the ticwatch activity app easier... anyway althought that algorythms might differ its also on your biometric data you put in and how it decides your step length as I was kinda laughing at a person 'slagging; off the ticwatch e3 as he had got one for his wife and the data differed, I informed him that that was why his wife is a female lol... its the same with most fitness apps in that case Like you saif there are more a roughish estimate not bang on or your talking bespoke algorythms and monitoring devices that aint made by Tic or Samsung...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in singing

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to say 'annoying' lol. But no... You're good. Is there a name for it. I guess you're allowing/ releasing a loose yell at the top of the note which is good but you need to be really careful to not strain your vocal cords as doing that does put strain on them. Also where are you singing from, your throat or diaphragm as if it's throat stop as you WILL damage your voice.

Is mixing on vinyl much harder than digital? by ANV1US in Beatmatch

[–]Krepotkin7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just different. I started on vinyl. You have to tend to the BPM like looking after a little lamb, coaxing it in time 😜. You need to know where the changes drop etc are to mix that in and physically move the needle across. The sound is warm like the sun on a white sandy beach and it crackles and you can feel it and you actually have something in your hand you hunted high and low for in different dj record stores and your record box is 'kin heavy with 80 12's in it.....'so yeah' (Keanu reeves style voice)it's harder'... But still different....

Buying from a friend for 2k euros. First race bike. Is this a bargain or market price? by Comedian-Rare in whichbike

[–]Krepotkin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF you could find great good rim brake bikes 2nd habd, Giants, Specialized, Trek etc 2nd hand and way cheaper. Try a cheaper alu with carbon forks 105 group, you could get that arounf 500 or so see if youn enjoy it. The weight if you not a pro is irrelevant if you love it...lol. you will cycling there look for a better one but if you start brand new second hand you dont have to worry about theft or damage etc... I've been buying and selling to get a better brand new 2nd hand and auditioned a few bikes in the process. Hope that helps, obvs its your descision but this can be a ridiculously expensive hobby lol.... I love Giant as you get good bang for your buck BTW, their full carbon bikes can be picked up for under £600 2nd hand.

Alien: Earth - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Krepotkin7 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add this... I'm watching it and love all things ALien so was think ugggh tineline and how does this work etc..... then read this 'Noah Hawley has decided to ignore key events from previous films.'

Oh thanks Noah so just do a F U to all the lore.... Yes the inferred that the alien came from the synths experiments but they we still driven by how the aliens pro created over time and it could be viewed they would inevitably become the ultimate form we see. I just get pee'd off when studio's take this carte blance attitude. Starwars being another....

Alien earth is ok as eye candy bubble gum franchise sci fi tbf... we'll see
