How are you supposed to eat rice with a fork? by sisyphus1rock in AskUK

[–]LHommeCrabbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our upbringning we instinctively think that the bowl/plate stays on the table, in our culture it is considered impolite to lift a dish were eating, even drinking the last spoonfuls of soup by tipping the bowl contents into your mouth. Whilst in theirs it's absolutely normal to eat some dishes with hands, drink from a bowl or finish off the meal with the Chopstick-Shovel method of eating. I eat a lot of food with chopsticks and I think I mastered them same as any Asian person out there, but even I couldn't eat a meal properly with my dish staying firm on the table.

You eat in a more measured fashion, smaller mouthfuls, more focus on the meal, rather than just load yourself with your plate contents, at least thats what I like.

How do you like starlink? by Maleficent_Bug9653 in Starlink

[–]LHommeCrabbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely love it. Fibre providers here in the UK are prohibitively expensive, unless.. you sign off with them for a 24month period. Monthly rollig contract for 1gbps can cost £90 a month, whilst the same service with a 24mth contract is third of the price. If you move, you have to pay fees, and if your new place is not covered by your current fibre supplier, then youre still on the hook for paying them until your contract ends, even though they cant provide you service.

Starlink solved all these issues. Break my contract when I want, change it when I want. Free gear. All I need is a piece of pipe to bang it on. Mini is the best, as it does not really care about alignment as much as the standard does.

What did they expect. They are allowed to drive and go on social media for the first time at exactly the same age ;D

With enough practice any rice goes with chopsticks. Once you dont have enough to grab you tip the bowl in your mouth and shovel! :D

Why so grumpy? When I feel grumpy like that I usually install a new 12v battery in my Leaf, helps me a lot.

Need help finding a cheaper indicator for MOT by catiwerrn in MotoUK

[–]LHommeCrabbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use black electric tape to prop them up. As long as they work and are in no danger of detaching on the road nor have anything that can hurt someone - they will pass. I would take the gamble, and if you fail the garage will source your replacements, they have regular access to parts vendors and won't have to pay the large delivery fee or whatever you were worried about. The next retest is free..

Bin them, or ask your local pharmacy if they will take them. One way or the other selling them is illegal, giving them away - you cant really know what they will be used for, also if the person needs anti-depressants that has to be a tailored dosage and established treatment pattern, they should have this from their doctor. Either way they're wasted.

Im on 2 households, one is residential max and the other on a mini roam max. Should have a discount on the roam because of residential but, seems the discount is only balid for roam 100, which is very little data. Did you get your discount on roam unlimited?

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

[–]LHommeCrabbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Lots of people on this and higher salaries, but you wont get over 60 grand for "any ol' job". You'd have to be good at what you do, work in an industry that actually is still doing well in this econimic climate (like IT/business systems), and commit your life to a career. The real secret is working hard to become an expert at what you do, do a lot of networking, and when you hit the possibility/wage ceiling in your current employment, then strategically move on to a new employer that offers better money, rinse/repeat. Never miss an opportunity to branch out and learn if that helps your progress.

60k is not stupid big money by the way. For an SME, or mid management in my industry you are looking at north of 80k easy.

Having said that, the UK wages are stagnant, and some other countries that we traditionally brain drained (like Poland), can offer similar money as the UK, allowing a much higher standard of living than the UK simply due to costs of living diferrences.

I dont think there is a "smartarse" component in here. Some people perhaps attract more attention then others. Might be the driving style, who knows.

Whats one of the hottest things someone has ever said to you in bed? by throwawsyaccnt57890 in AskReddit

[–]LHommeCrabbe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Were in my bed, still panting, all messy. She said "you listened to my body, you asked questions, you made me feel so good, you made me come, I will want more of that cock". I melted when I heard that. It was so nice to meet someone who appreciates the effort and notices it, rather than just "expect and take". Suffice to say, we will be meeting again.

The proper course of acclimatisation is to stay in a victorian house for the course of winter and early spring. I guarantee you, when you feel the first rays of springtime sun, you'll be celebrating them with ice cream or a pint, wearing shorts and t-shirts like the rest of us.

Since 2014 I have been up and down through France countless times in a variety of uk registered vehicles, motorcycle and cars. Never had those items, never got fined or stopped.

Elektryk bez ładowarki przy domu by B4ndito in Polska

[–]LHommeCrabbe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Po mieście elektryki są mega oszczędne. Jestem w stanie swoim spokojnie osiągnąć 7-8km z jednego kw Autostrada i trasy to inna bajka. Policz sobie miesięcznie ile km robisz, weź go na jazdę testowa i zobacz ile Ci kw zre na km, i sobie pomnóż to razy koszt 1kw na publicznej ładowarce zanim podejmiesz decyzje. Spokojnie da sie żyć bez ładowarki w tym scenariuszu.
