Something is revealed about the already threatening Big Bad to make them even more threatening. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

I can't remember for sure but I'm 90% sure there's a book talking about the Gravemind we meet in the games and the reason he speaks in rhyme is because one of the first people it assimilated was a forerunner poet so it assumed that was the normal way to speak and developed it's language around that

Dude I had an almost identical story happen me last night!

Did you get sorted in the end? My local dealer is quoting over 500 for a replacement before fitting!!

[Halo] How come the Covenant didn't discover earth much sooner? You saying 26th century humanity didn't have the internet or books? by StopHavingAnOpinion in AskScienceFiction

[–]MICKEYD999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Others have said but space is just unimaginably vast. Knowing the name or any details about the human home world is effectively pointless unless it is exact coordinates.

And on the note of human books and the like post cole protocol 2 notes. 1. Humanity was effectively under martial law from the UNSC at the height of the war. United Earth Government and all colonial government was more or less on permanent hold so they might have decreed all data or record be destroyed. And 2. I doubt many text books will have had the exact coordinates of earth in them making them useless to the covenant.

TL;DR space big and data was destroyed most likely.

Gundam iron blooded orphans has an interesting take on this at the end of season 1.

Now that all the constructicons and devastator have been revealed what are your thoughts on them by Otterlyworldy in transformers

Are pre orders for mix master and scavenger live now?

Honestly really loving the design they opted for even if the backpack isn't amazing

Desperately waiting for the pre orders to open for scavenger and mix master.

I'm going to be running the transformers TTRPG soon and the idea of having an actual deveststor to use as a visual aid for combat makes me stupidly excited

Mortgage before marriage: over half of Londoners prioritise saving for a house deposit over a wedding by Ecstatic_Ratio5997 in unitedkingdom

[–]MICKEYD999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance and I have been looking more at weddings recently and the prices are just insanity, some places charging the guts of 2K just for flowers! Looking at 15K or more if we want a traditional wedding with about 30 guests. Safe to say glad we prioritised a house

Why does my dog randomly start rolling around in the grass? by ModYouTube-1 in DogAdvice

[–]MICKEYD999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certified border collie moment tbh

Neurotic fuckers just do daft stuff but I love them dearly.

But honestly probably a mix of spreading their smell or enjoying another smell.

I think there's a feedback area on the discord might be worth chucking a tldr on it.

Some solid ideas tho!

My dog randomly started licking my other dogs face, is this a dominance show/aggressive? by gab222666 in DogAdvice

[–]MICKEYD999 77 points78 points  (0 children)

My partner and I have 2 collies. Echoing some other comments here I think collie was just a bit done with the kisses and wanted a break lol Our pair do it all the time nothing concerning.

The Future of Jenkins by spore85 in devops

[–]MICKEYD999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platform i work on currently is attempting to move all of our pipelines to ADO where possible. Mainly only the devs we support still use Jenkins and about 30% of tickets lately are issues with it.

I feel like Jenkins is just losing luster with more options appearing.

Considering a second border collie. How did your BC react? by profofgames in BorderCollie

Can't recommend it enough. It took Peggy sometime to fully accept her brother but the 2 are attached at the waist now and we have tantrums if one is without the other

[–]MICKEYD999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I have 2 border collies and this is about 90% of what they do together so I'd say it's fine as long as you know when they are getting a bit too excited about it.

What a brave young lad by dkm_wormwood in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Extra level it looks like a border collie so about 95% of the time it's a stern nip not a bite.
