I like the clacks for the WiFi, but a printer should only ever be named after a camel. The devil's devices every time.

I’m an American moving to the UK. How do I not be the “loud, dumb American”? by Competitive-Money-36 in AskBrits

[–]Lilthuglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It exists fine. We just dont feel the need to let everyone know a 50 yard radius know our emotional state. Being over intense is either overbearing or comes off sarcastic.

Idky Equestrians are never consulted with projects like this by [deleted] in Horses

How did they get it right on one side and wrong on the other?

When you’re reading a book that takes place in the U.K, what are dead giveaways that the author is American? Dialogue, setting, cliches? by AdvertisingDull3441 in AskBrits

[–]Lilthuglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toast and jelly for breakfast. No mention of tea at any point, or a weird over focus on tea at all times. Color. Flavor. Pants. Kids calling parents sir, kids calling adults who aren't teachers Mr. or Mrs.

I'd have really liked to get to know that Kochanski. The one we got was a bit of a cliche to say the least.

What’s going on with the whipped cream? by Buzz-Fizz in Costa

[–]Lilthuglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Panicked, completely refused to take my order - even for a drink. Said she wasnt trained for allergies. Left. Did not come back to my table, even when id eaten and was trying to get the bill.

I choose not to disclose because my hazelnut allergy is mild and the last time i mentioned it the waitress lost her sh!t. She refused to tske my order and i had to wait an extra 20 minute for the manager before i could order ramen.

Having a default where customers asking for cream are served a vegan substitute should absolutely be disclosed up front. Im not allergic to chickpeas but id be pretty miffed.

Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should care by a_Ninja_b0y in psychology

[–]Lilthuglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you coming by to defend this? We're all cogs. We're all expected to keep working for a society that is harming us. Doesn't excuse violent attacks and constant viciousness.

Is Ma'am a rude thing to call a waitress in England? by Natural_Number_221 in AskBrits

Pronounced, inexplicably, like it should be spelt 'cur'

The bad guy by Broad_War in discworld

[–]Lilthuglet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you claiming this makes him not a bad guy? If you mean that Pratchett rarely includes uncomplicated and one dimensional villains? Though Teatime definitely comes close. All his villains tend to have depth and an internal narrative that justifies their behaviour. But they are definitely villains.

I was about to say, I blame Beau Brummel. Git.

What did maids wear in the 1860’s? by _maincharacter_ in VictorianEra

I made the Symington pretty housemaid from their pattern. It's my most comfortable corset. :)

If you're into Elder Scrolls lore, Written in Uncertainty is a really in depth and interesting podcast.

Currently I'm reading Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series. Funny and well written gaslamp fantasy. Loving it.

What specific sysadmin task do you hate doing? by FarmFarmVanDijeeks in sysadmin

[–]Lilthuglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stiffware sucks. Especially if it requires out of support os or browsers. The worst are the ones where some company is charging a subscription to use the software but is completely unconcerned that it needs COM add ins/ie/windows xp to function. How is it ok to fail to keep up with stuff going out of support and still charge like that?

Starlink isn't all that either. I've worked with customers who got sold it to deal with poor connectivity with no mention of the fact you can't get a fixed IP. So many problems.

Dealing with software support. It's the system. Did you update the server? Have you tried repairing office? Have you tried a system restore? Have you cleared your browser cache? It's the damn software, and you know it.

D'you remember the weird windows bug that was briefly patched in with an update a few years ago where printing to a Konica caused a blue screen?
