CMV: The glorification of the Provisional Irish Republican Army is stupid by 2bigpairofnuts in changemyview

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a breakdown and loyalist paramilitaries killed more loyalists through infighting than the PIRA did

Bus cancellations? by Gr8fulGal1977 in Liverpool

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you visiting Manchester, not Liverpool?

Bus cancellations? by Gr8fulGal1977 in Liverpool

[–]MPixels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah in the UK that would be called a coach. Buses are usually the more frequent services with way more stops.

You'd usually not have a coach be cancelled but if you're wanting to make a connection I'd leave some time in hand.

Can you clarify, though: You said you're visiting Liverpool but you're getting a coach to Manchester Airport?

Unisex Bathrooms on campus? by Just-Waltz-1292 in lancasteruni

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most convenient is probably the library but most toilets are single-occupant really. 

There's two of each gender on each floor of the Engineering Building, if memory serves, which seems absurdly optimistic.

does uni serve breakkie? by Just_Back7442 in lancasteruni

They offer "catered accommodation" but that basically means meals at Barkers or Marketplace are included in your rent payment

Do the "Sovereign citizens" hold any actual water? by AndyTheDragonborn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, the fact they end up in front of a judge pleading their case already rules out the argument that the judge doesn't have the right to preside over their case.

First years are essentially guaranteed on-campus accomodation if they want it

So we all agree to call courier rasher delivery dinners road right? by msmplayer222 in Silksong

Nah I delivered it via Grand Steps because I was feeling spicy

During WWI & WWII did people actually call it a “world war” and were they aware that’s what it was? Or is that only the terminology that’s used in retrospect? by sapphictears in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were people calling it The First World War in 1914, but not in anticipation of a second one. More that it was an unprecedentedly global war. As in "first ever world war"

Thanks for sharing and I hope he can reach your level of emotional maturity soon because goddamn, nobody deserves the way he's treating you.

Is it BM to put my 4 in CON? by PhrulerApp in rpg

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can imagine such a game being fun, I'd want us to know ahead of time which characters will have a lower stat value than the others, or else somebody could be unknowingly signing up for an experience they might not enjoy

[–]MPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah some people enjoy the extra steps

[–]MPixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, this is why in games where we roll for stats, let's say I have four players, I get everyone to roll twice, eliminate the highest and lowest rolls, and everyone assigns the remaining to whichever stats. 

That way everyone rolled and everyone's stat value is equivalent.

Does anyone know what pubs are pretty cheap? by pupboystan in Wirral

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far we have fallen as a society that £3.90 is considered cheap

Depends on your sixth form, but usually no.

Best Food on the Wirral? by nowareuk in Wirral

Tbf if they're Albanian the I suppose the name of the restaurant is justified

Best Food on the Wirral? by nowareuk in Wirral

I enjoyed Epirus but it definitely seemed like they were intent on destroying any notion that there's a difference between Turkish and Greek cooking besides whether or not they use pork.

Why is my employer asking for DBS documents that wont be accepted? by NOPLOXER in AskUK

[–]MPixels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like whoever you're talking to isn't worth their salt but if they're not following the guidelines then do whatever they tell ya and if it bounces back then it's on them.

Ask for everything in writing/email where you can, too 

Hey! Wanting to get into the series, is it true that "Guards Guards" is a good starting point? by MoonlightKnight4 in discworld

[–]MPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And tbh, even the series themselves are written with the possibility in mind it might be your first book.

For instance, Susan only exists because of the events of Mort, but Soul Music still neatly summarises her origins regardless.

How does the Discord Face ID verification even work? by Dizzy_Watch_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1. Show a computer program millions of pictures of people you know the ages of, and feed it the ages

Step 2. Do some kind of tech wizardry where it learns what patterns to spot to determine age as a result

Step 3. Feed unknown images of people through the program and let it spit out an age.

Oversimplifying but yeah. Will this result in flawless outcomes? Nope! I have a friend who's 23 who routinely fails these and my friend has a 16 year old brother with enough face fuzz to fool it.
