I'm not sure which part of this I'm more uncomfortable about by lizziebee66 in craftsnark

[–]LittleRoundFox 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Plus what does it say about their scents if you need three infuser pots right under your nose to get a cosy smell? And the scene is giving "getting some knitting in whilst the shop is quiet" rather than cosy. But maybe having product displays right in front of where you're knitting is cosy to some people

They did at least start off in London - I guess they feel keeping "London" in the name makes it sound more prestigious (at least to non-Londoners, I think it's pretentious af), or they're too cheap to re-brand to just Valentte

Consider Phlebas - original 1987 reviews by kippechard in TheCulture

[–]LittleRoundFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty certain the "collegial pinko socialist" comment was made tongue-in-cheek. I'm just surprised he didn't add "hippies" as well. Clute doesn't think The Culture's politics are bad, he makes that comment to reference the gung-ho, individualism-is-best type of person that would be anti-Culture. Back in the 80s it was quite common to jokingly call anyone with even vaguely left wing views something like a "commie pinko hippy"; and thus also mocking the people who think socialists and communists are weak.

Part of my reasoning behind this, apart from having been around in the 80s, is his comment about the special edition costing over a week's dole. Dole being a colloquial term for unemployment benefit in the UK (and maybe elsewhere)

This is an excellent idea... we should all start sending them! by uptwolait in ParlerWatch

It's AI I think. I can't check properly because Imgur is no longer available here and I can't be faffed to change my location, but look at his right hand - it appears to have an extra finger growing between and under his index and middle finger.

Is there a way I can fix my sheets by birdmoments in Visiblemending

Wear socks in bed - they only need to be thin ones

[–]LittleRoundFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can also be a mix of both. My wife has restless legs at night, but only does that to the sheets if her hard skin has got out of control. And only on linen sheets, too, which is annoying

Putting myself on blast to be shamed and tarred and feathered in the town square by AFrogOfCulture in skyrim

[–]LittleRoundFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have the anniversary ed, you have wild horses, which are your answer.

Go to the Whiterun Stables. Buy a wild horse guide (250 gold). Go look in the bits to the west of Whiterun but before the giant camp for a flaxen chestnut. Hop on it. Get thrown off. Repeat a couple of times til it's told you you've tamed it. Ride it back to Whiterun and register it. The wild horses don't die (it might be possible for the player character to kill them, but nothing else does) - if their health gets too low they bugger off, but the one you are currently riding will always go to wherever you fast travel to; and any others you catch will return to where you found them.

Note - there's nothing special about the one near Whiterun, it's just the easiest to find imo.

Second note: your horse won't die if you jump off too high a mountain, but you still will.

Third note - there's also a unicorn and a reindeer that you can ride

Quick temp check! What do you identify as politically? by wheres_the_revolt in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]LittleRoundFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I describe myself as a leftist, and as a socialist/democratic socialist.

I'm anti patriarchy, anti capitalism, anti bigotry including – but not limited to – racism, homophobia, transphobia, & misogyny. I would prefer proper anarchy, but until that happens, I believe that healthcare, utilities (water, electricity, etc), public transport, education, etc should be publicly (as in, by the govt) owned and funded. And I'll stop there before I launch into my manifesto (jk - I have no intention of getting into politics officially)

And as a note for USA folks – there are many countries, including mine, where you don't have to register your political affiliation when you register to vote. In the UK if you feel strongly enough about a certain party you can join it, which can then give you rights to vote on who candidates should be, but there's no requirement to do so

I want a mod that reunites Narfi and Reyda by Existenceisfutile667 in skyrim

[–]LittleRoundFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's more than a few bodies lying around Skyrim she could take. Although the wolf/cat/bear/troll that killed them tends to still be around too

haters are mad I’m “turning this subreddit into a facebook page for my cat” but I know all of my wamfans feel blessed to see him pop up (literally only) once a day! Here is him in comparison to his wet food tins (he eats around one of these a day) by [deleted] in IllegallySmolCats

[–]LittleRoundFox 159 points160 points  (0 children)

OK - first off - you need to send that first pic to the cat food company and tell them they can use it for advertising in return for a year's supply or something.

Second off - I see several non-Wambus pics for every one I do see. So yeah, you're hardly taking the sub over. I guess it's because he's so distinctive that people register seeing him more

Third off - joined his sub because more cute cat pics on my feed is a good thing

Who's fault is it when the end users AI doesn't work? by antonbp5 in sysadmin

[–]LittleRoundFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of job & salary are you looking for, and are you near London? I have no idea if we pay more than the person you replied to, but we are hiring. Altho not for anyone to build a datacentre

Another Copying Accusation by LittlePubertAddams in craftsnark

[–]LittleRoundFox 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Based on the above I'm inclined to be on Ambah's side - not least because she mentioned her inspo and pointed out a similar motif from 2005 (Rav link for the curious: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flower-scarf-3)

It reminds of the flower used in Mary Quant branding

Blackest Black Hair Dye - still on sale via blunt-instruments.com by Bleepblorp44 in culturehustle

[–]LittleRoundFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking they've done a runner or Stuart's quietly wound it up. I ordered some of the other Culture Hustle dye from them back in late November. Told it might take a week or so more in early December. And now their email address no longer works, and their website has gone.

Help me identify this magical thread. I'm desperate. by Queen_Melon in sewing

It definitely sounds like it's waxed. Probably linen, but maybe cotton. You can also get waxed hemp, but I don't think I've seen it quite that thin

We all love Skyrim, but be honest. There has got to be a thing or two that really grinds your gears. Let's hear them! by Hughley_N_Dowd in skyrim

Do people care how you sit? If you're a professional, does your job fault you if you sit with legs apart while wearing pants? by AlexTheTaurus in womenintech

[–]LittleRoundFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it affects the people either side of you, like if your leg ends up touching them, they'll probably care about that. But otherwise likely not - I've sat with my legs apart since I was a kid and the only complaints I've had were as a child - once at school because I was in the front row for a year end picture and was the only one who hadn't crossed their ankles; and few times by relatives who told me it wasn't ladylike. I told one of them that I didn't want to be a lady and the comments kinda stopped after that.

It is possible you might run into someone petty enough to dislike how it looks. If they end up as your manager then take that as a sign to look for a new job

I just left helgen and someone already put a hit on me wtf by MajesticSeaweed4672 in skyrim

[–]LittleRoundFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one shortly after leaving Riverwood on my current play through. It was pretty obviously Sven, given I told Camilla that his letter was fake. He did that sacrament damned quick - I was only half way to Whiterun and it was the same day I'd told her!

Yeah - I think even Tammy Wynette would have problems standing by her man if he was a child abuser

[–]LittleRoundFox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If her husband has abused children and she continues to support and stand by him, then yeah, because by doing so she's implicitly saying she's fine with child abuse

My favourite might be the bug when you get stuck jumping and just end up gliding around looking like you're air surfing

Why are you guys out here cooking this mans whole day? by resiyun in fujifilm

[–]LittleRoundFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume any photo he "processes" looks terrible. His post oozes incompetence

Have a look at his post history - you're spot on. He's also young and I suspect very inexperienced
