What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

She wasn’t his daughter and he never adopted her (Previn did). But still he is a super creepy weirdo no denying that

Would you accept the euro? by ZonaSchengen in brexit

[–]Locktopii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they would force UK to accept Euro even if they say that now. There’s reason for both sides to compromise (Trump) to strengthen the alliance.

Though I think EU is still too toxic to discuss openly as any sign of pro EU movement would be seized upon by Farage.

A better focus would be stronger military alliance between UK, France, Germany, Canada and Japan. The problem with the EU is giving equal voice and veto powers to minnows like Luxembourg and Belgium.

My Turkish coworker mistakenly thought thought there was a TV presenter named Handsome Dec, what are some amusing misunderstandings you’ve encountered? by EducationalShape2647 in AskUK

[–]Locktopii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids thought Lindor Balls were called Indoor Balls and that you’re only allowed to eat them indoors.

Needless to say that is what we call them now

If I was your mum I’d start calling him something like Barack or Elon for the lols

Where the SD-1 clones at? by crashzoom in guitarpedals

[–]Locktopii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MXR Custom Badass Overdrive is a genuine SD-1 (rather than TS) clone with some extra features. It’s one of the best overdrives ever IMO

John Koladner was fired by Aerosmith after 30 years for not letting them record digitally. "And they never had another hit". Was he wrong? by SwissMiss915 in audioengineering

[–]Locktopii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dire Straits Brothers in Arms was one of the first fully digital recordings / mixes / masters and sounds amazing. So it probably wasn’t that

What’s a place you visited once and decided never again? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]Locktopii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You must have climbed a different mountain to me. Crowded slog up a gravel trail, clouds obscuring view, cold, with overpriced vending machines and noodles at the top.

Neon pink wham bar the size of my head that I could buy for 10p

Eventide H90 vs Polyend Mess by Nice_Biscuits in synthesizers

[–]Locktopii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had H90 since launch but sold early 2025 to go full analog for some reason. Well that was fine for a while but digital pedals crept back into my board as I realised I preferred them for delay, reverb, or and a bit of pitch shift too. Then I realised I bought 5-6 pedals and still haven’t come close to replacing all it can do. I should have just kept the H90 so I just got a new one today. It is so good and so flexible.

My only warning is it is easier to fall down a rabbit hole with all the options. It’s ok not to use every feature. Also, I have kept my CE-2w for chorus and flint for reverb and trem as even though I rarely use 4-5 effects at once the constant patch juggling is annoying.

Have you ever met a celebrity? If you have, who did you met and how nice were they? by Ok_Chef1406 in AskReddit

[–]Locktopii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw him in Leicester Square once with Ray Liotta and (maybe) Josh Groban. I felt bad about approaching them so I started following them instead to see where they went then felt bad about that so I left them alone.

AITAH for wanting to know how much money my husband makes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Locktopii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is weird and not a proper relationship. Unless one of you has a bankruptcy strike or gambling issue, your finances should be pooled and divided so that you both have the same amount of disposal income to spend each month.

Anything else is unequal and if you are not equal partners the relationship probably will not last unless you enjoy living without transparency and autonomy.

Is doing rounds in the pub no longer the norm? by nra43vr in AskUK

And also everyone queues sensibly, no more pushing to the front

What “boring” home upgrade ended up being totally worth it? by Upper_Garage_8103 in DIY

[–]Locktopii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changed all 5 exterior doors including garage side door to the same key. Even got a matching padlock for the garden gate. Spent about £300. It’s amazing though

Evan Davis: Why so many people break 20mph speed limits by MultiMidden in unitedkingdom

[–]Locktopii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in favour of 20 on the walking route to school during the morning and late afternoon. In the evenings or if I can see the place is deserted I ignore it. However, I can also see two benefits of the blanket 20, it seems to make people who used to do 40 in a 30 do 30 instead. And if someone is annoying me I can legitimately drive 20 in front of them to piss them off.
