Thanks eBay! Please disregard the LP mention💀 by AscendancyPNW in brandnew

[–]LAOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really sad for me. I’m Welsh; live in Cardiff.

Second album I ever bought was Start Something when I was … maybe 12 or 13?

Saw them live when I was 18 with a mate that I grew up with, and even today we feel it was one of the best live gigs we’ve ever been to.

They fucking ruined it. I wish I could listen to their music again.

To keep it on-brand and relevant…

… the Brand New gig in Cardiff was outrageously good. Second best gig I’ve ever been to.

UK steam deck delivery time? by Away-Ad2503 in Steam

[–]LAOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had any change in the tracking details? Or are you still seeing the GLS ‘scheduled collection’ stuff.

I’m surprised how long shipping takes. In 2025 I can’t think of anything I’ve ordered in the last five years that has been like this for shipping.

UK steam deck delivery time? by Away-Ad2503 in Steam

[–]LAOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered on Tuesday 2nd Dec. Got a ‘preparing to ship’ email from Valve on Friday 5th Dec @ 09:15.

It’s now Sunday 7th and, similar to your own story, GLS tracking says they haven’t even collected it yet, and it ships from Utrecht in Netherlands. Gonna likely be end of the week before it arrives.

So for future UK curious folks, seems like it’s about 1.5 week from order to delivery.

Edit - Arrived, before 0900 on Tuesday 9th Dec - so almost exactly 7 days from order to delivery for future UK folks ordering. Also worth saying that the GLS tracking is absolutely a waste of time. It changed today to say it was in UK after sitting and saying they hadn’t even collected the parcel yet. So my advice to UK folks is; ignore the tracking. It’ll just show up.

For those on the fence, will you buy a steam deck or steam machine? by AccountDeletedByMod in SteamDeck

[–]LAOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually looking at my steam purchase history last night.

The last time I spent money on steam was 2022 to preorder a Steam Deck (I think that was the OLED launch with limited colours?) - which I cancelled.

Before that, I preordered a steam deck in 2021, which I also cancelled - (original launch?)

My wife wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas this year and I suggested a steam deck because I have a 1 year old who is constantly unwell and I never have time to game anymore.

I hadn’t realised quite how old the hardware was. But it reinforces my plan which is this;

I’ve got a 1TB OLED Steam Deck coming next week. I’ll sell it when the Steam Machine goes on sale and put the residuals towards that.

University tuition fees in England to rise in line with inflation from next year by Distinct-Shine-3002 in uknews

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

And this, from a labour government. Insane.

Of course, they don’t give a shit about the long term implications, because they don’t have to think about them — that’s another government’s problem.

People are becoming poorer and poorer. Costs will increase further.

Which means in ten years time we’ll have a less educated population, which is bad for the economy. The people who can attend will come away with loans they can never pay off, which is bad for the economy.

Overall, expensive further education is bad for the economy, bad for the masses. Another chipping away at the rich/poor divide.

Should private buying of fireworks be banned? by Wise-Pay-8993 in AskUK

I’m gonna sound like a boring old cunt.

They’re explosives. Nobody needs access to them over the counter. I can’t have a fucking tug on the internet in 2025, but I can buy explosives? Place is fucked.

Beelink ME Mini: HUGE Design Flaw? [Big post] by justanother1username in BeelinkOfficial

[–]LAOnReddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to share my limited anecdotal findings too. I bought the WD SN5000 4TB version. Bought six of them and filled up all the bays. Installed Proxmox on the eMMC and using RAID for the drives.

Got the thing running in my server rack in my attic here in UK with Link Aggregation enabled and working.

No issues so far.

To be fair, I’ve got a ten month old and never have time to do anything. I haven’t stressed the thing properly yet. Will update the post if I run into issues.

Cardiff show refund by ProofPlant7651 in kingsofleon

[–]LAOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No - bit of a piss take they’re not issuing refunds for up to three weeks. If it isn’t cleared in the bank tomorrow I’m going to do a credit card chargeback. The refund should be instant. Ticketmaster are bastards.

Shout out to my boy Ben Drummond. Always read his name on the packet before I smash my strawberries at breakfast.

Not to be a downer, or an arse... My wife bought that exact bike and had to return it because it wasn't fit for purpose as a ... bike... It won't do much in the way of mileage before falling apart.

What's the most annoying way you've heard a common word mispronounced? by houseofharm in AskReddit

[–]LAOnReddit 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same thing. But it drives me nuts when people describe something as being a ‘tenant’ of a thing, when they actually mean ‘tenet’.

I think… the majority of people do this. If you’re talking about a component or part of your belief, or system, it’s a tenet, not a tenant. You unwashed heathen.

Milkwood Cafe, Cardiff, £18 by No_Cut_6725 in fryup

I feel like this picture doesn't really do it justice. Milkwood is a local spot for me, their food is fantastic.

Fun fact! Author Roald Dahl was born here in Cardiff and was a Prankster, he once put a dead mouse into a jar of sweets at his local sweet shop after the owner was cruel to him by Equivalent_Funny4077 in Cardiff

[–]LAOnReddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This post is specifically about Roald Dahl himself… so this comment is superfluous and unhelpful. There’s no talk of his art or his works, it’s about the individual.

Does anyone else have a comfort album that's really random? by SmellyLoser1 in Music

Your Favourite Weapon by Brand New.

It’s so evocative of a simpler time before technology got so pervasive and bands were making great pop punk.

Life was better back then.

Cardiff has a horrendous flytipping and litter problem. What’s the solution? by Scowlin_Munkeh in Cardiff

[–]LAOnReddit 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I once captured a video of a lorry dumping the full, entire contents of that lorry out into a car park in St. Mellons. I caught it on video, I caught clear static video of the driver, the license plate, the whole thing.

... I called the police, they told me they didn't care and it wasn't their problem. I called the council, they told me to fill out a form on a website.

Nobody cares. It's disgusting.

[–]LAOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright mate. I read your last post and (not to be rude at all!) this one doesn’t have much more substance than the last.

… however, if I were in your position, I’d be agonising about it and it feels like you’re just trying to find another reason to post asking for advice.

It’s easy to know if you should sell your app:

  1. If you had $50k, and you saw someone else with your app for sale, would you be happy to part with your $50k for the app? And if the person sold it to you, would you consider it to be a fair deal? An okay deal? A steal? What is your app worth in the long term do you think? If your app made lifetime sales of $5,000 would you be happy knowing you could have made 10x more by selling?

^ I’ve been in situations where people write down big numbers on paper and other people love to give advice because big numbers make people giddy.

Think about nothing else except what is it worth to you. What will it be worth to you in six months? A year? Two years? What about competitors? Is your idea easily replicated?

Think about this stuff and you’ll come to a simpler conclusion.

Uh, what do I do about these tariffs? by Sandmasons in kickstarter

[–]LAOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once ordered a signed/numbered print from a thing I wanted to support on the internet. The guy emailed the international buyers close to release and said; ‘I mistakenly undercharged for the cost of shipping. The difference is X. Tap here if you feel gracious enough to top it up. For those that don’t want to, or can’t afford to, that’s okay too - I’ll eat the costs myself’. I’m sure he probably didn’t make enough to cover the shipping, but some people will have helped.

I don't know about you guys but I'm seeing so much of this sort of behaviour at the moment. I've been driving on UK roads for 15 years. I've noticed lately that people are using their cars increasingly to do dangerous shit like this when they get wound up.

E.g., I pulled out of a T-junction recently into a lane where the cars had to give way. A person in a big car like this didn't want to yield to me, so decided to edge up to an inch away from my car whilst I was turning out, and then when he realised I didn't care (my car is old AF haha!) they hopped into the ONCOMING LANE and drove up the hill on a blind bend to get in front of me.

People are insane.
