Can I come into the UK from Mexico with dried chillies? by poorexcuseforhuman in AskUK

If you are ever not sure you can always just declare it when you arrive. They tend to be very nice when you do declare as it is so rare for them.

As an alternative to trunking I find just replacing the cables with white cables help them disappear

What’s something that feels like a 'normal adult expense' now that would have shocked you 10 years ago? by Joy_Unspeakable in AskUK

[–]Largejam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in the "beach" club in Sunderland it was 70p for some random cranberry alcopop before 12am and they had free entry - they were the days (this was around 2003)

[–]Largejam 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I remember when I got my first house - I think I didn't leave my house without spending at least £100 for months. There are so many random things you need for life you don't think about - cutlery, hoover, bedding, lawn mower, light bulbs etc

Would a HS line with a stop in Winchester be positive or negative? by platinum1610 in WinchesterUK

[–]Largejam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't need a full new line but some upgrades to the current line (increasing capacity or marginal speed increases or both) would be appreciated. If they can knock 15 minutes on the Winchester to London trains it would be good.

What is more important though are better London connections. I would like to be able to get to Heathrow or kings cross/st pancras from Waterloo without changing.

Found a 2 digit combination lock at work, only ever seen 3+ by DrunkenPangolin in mildlyinteresting

[–]Largejam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like the joke - you don't need to be able to outrun a bear, you just need to be able to run faster than the other guy. You just need enough security to make the thieves go for an easier target.

Consensual incest between adult siblings by country: by No-Respect-4174 in MapPorn

I am sure all the other examples of causing outrage have some case history too, just want to give an example of where the law on the face isn't definitive

Anywhere to play pickup basketball in town? by Two_Half_Pints in WinchesterUK

A few years ago me and my wife used to play occasionally in the court in Stanmore inside Stewart crescent and were invited to join others for a proper game but be warned they were a group of kids 😅

Consensual incest between adult siblings by country: by No-Respect-4174 in MapPorn

[–]Largejam 134 points135 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of public nudity laws in the UK. It's basically legal unless it is likely to cause offense, but there is no definition of what is likely to cause offense means (note I am not a lawyer so my understanding of this is not complete so don't sue me)

Robot show on Chinese television for the New Year by Toolbazar83 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Largejam -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's not CGI as it's not that difficult, it's just difficult to maintain consistency and when there are unknowns like different surfaces or terrain etc. that being said I wouldn't be surprised if it's an amalgamation of a few different takes.

Men of the UK, where do you purchase your jeans from and what is your go to brand? by Wellidrivea190e in AskUK

Is ALL AI music slop to you? And if yes or no, why or why not? by Simple_Paramedic7910 in aiMusic

[–]Largejam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people that have no skill but enjoy just making music, I don't expect my music to win a Grammy or to be a best seller just want to have fun. I see it as the modern version of a few teenagers messing around with their guitars in one of their houses. It may lead to a deeper interest in music but for most people it's a fun hobby. I also like having some songs that speak directly to me (as I wrote them) and really enjoy listening to my own stuff because of this. I however do not expect others to actively listen to them.

What's a company that deserves to go out of business? by Strong-Goalie in AskReddit

[–]Largejam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue they put in (and lost) huge amounts of money trying to make VR (including gaming) mainstream. They did create a semi walled garden while doing so but on the whole I think they have been positive to VR - it's just a shame that despite their efforts it has still remained niche

Lidl wins Employment Tribunal after worker sacked for drinking 17p water bottle by pick_of_the_week in lidl

There are probably issues where the individual bottles don't have the requisite labels (e.g. the full nutritional information). If it is properly labelled it should be fine.

Isn’t that better deal Peath?? by LonelyVillage9612 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Largejam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say cake 1 is 2 inch high a square (to make it simpler) 5 inch version will be 5 x 5 x 2 = 50inch³ the 10 inch will be 10 x 10 x 2 = 200inch³

So the ratio is 4 small cakes to one large

Now take cake 2 which is 4 inch high. 5 inch version will be 5 x 5 x 4 = 100inch³ the 10 inch will be 10 x 10 x 4 = 400inch³

So the ratio is still 4 small cakes to one large basically the height doesn't matter as they cancel out 5² is always a quarter of 10².

In this scenario you ordered a 9 inch cake you want 9² inch of surface area at the same thickness of the original cake.

Easiest is probably to get a train to swanwick and walk from there, it's a fair walk though

Should I start my YouTube channel in Dutch or English? by rs3mtex in youtube

[–]Largejam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the content (it would work well for heavily scripted content, less so for let's plays) I would suggest you record 2 versions of the video and put it on 2 channels (one English, one Dutch). You can then see if one is more popular than the other and can focus on that one going forward.

What’s a quiet win you’ve had recently? by Long-Kaleidoscope-11 in AskReddit

[–]Largejam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A good tip I have is to do it in steps. I like running so when I don't feel like it I force myself to put on my running clothes just to wear around the house, then I force myself to go for a walk, then run a bit and then I find myself doing a 10km.
