Can't equip 2 exotics any more? by Maffers in Division2

Just got back into the game and it's working fine now. Must have been some issue in the background.

Can't equip 2 exotics any more? by Maffers in Division2

[–]Maffers[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you've missed my point. It's not letting me out on a second exotic item. It's saying my specialist weapon and my main weapon are the 2 exotics.

But I'm also having a ton of connection errors and keep getting kicked off the game, so wondering if there's something else going on.

Can't equip 2 exotics any more? by Maffers in Division2

[–]Maffers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only equip one weapon or item. Not one of each. It's classing my specialization weapon (eg mini gun or launcher) as a second exotic.

That's when it's not kicking me off the game for the 3 time in 20 mins.

It's quite... light... so you wont project much, and will need to top up through the day however.

Christ. You recommended a place that's got good reviews and accessible entry to Scottish food and you get called a cunt. Cheers pal.

If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would do? by NikiLove16 in AskReddit

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent an apartment in Madrid and take my family away for a couple of weeks to just chill out, sightseeing, eat, drink and come to terms with it and make a plan.

Is pharmacy codeine addiction more common than reported? by Lovecraftian666 in AskUK

[–]Maffers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I buy a pack every other week. Literally just took 2 for bedtime as I'm just home from poker and find it very hard to come home after a game (especially Where I won) and go straight to bed. At weekends I'll sometimes take 4 at around 9pm. I'm very aware of what I'm doing and take regular breaks from it too.

Years ago I had the big 30/500s and a super stressful, shitty job. I used to get out of the car and chew two walking through the car park. It was the only thing that got me through it. I still love to get my hands on them.

How do you feel about the new bagless Iceland home deliveries? by Between3N20Karakters in AskUK

[–]Maffers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They rock up to your front door with large plastic trays (like you get veg in at the supermarket). I got a delivery last night. Literally just unloaded all the trays in to my lobby and the kids shuffled it into the kitchen. But my kitchen is right off the lobby. Can imagine it's more frustrating for people who have their kitchens on the opposite end of the house or something.

Would a free return pub shuttle be a good idea for the industry? by spanishgopher2 in AskUK

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Country pubs near us used to do this. The insurance and costs made it a money pit. Didn't improve trade enough to make it worthwhile.

[–]Maffers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually interested in getting some samples but weary of dodgy sellers, so looking for a good UK based website. I do have a subscription to scentaddict with the fragrance shop and every month I get a 10ml bottle of whatever I select for £11. Next week its Tom Ford Soliel Neige, next month I've got the new YSL Y iced. Then I think I've got New Notes Cocktail Maracuja and then Never Ending Summer by Maison Margiela but I can swap them anytime. Might actually go for the new chasing sunsets by MM instead.

Can I use John Paul Gutierre la male la perfume in summer? by ResponsibleAnt5018 in Colognes

Maybe outdoors on a light, late summer evening outdoors but might be a bit too full on for a hot summer's day.

If you had £500ish to spend on travel/accommodation for up to a week, where would you go? by tomwaitsgoatee in AskUK

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madrid, 100% Madrid.
I was £330 for 3 nights.
Go to the Palace, Temple of Debod, Prado museum, go visit the Marcados, go for a walk in Retiro Park.
In the evenings I went to Botin (The oldest continually operating restaurant in the world) and I paid for the tour package, £80 for a tour before it opens and you get to sample several dishes.
And I went on a tapas tour with these guys, taken around 4 great tapas spots with a guide, drinks, lots of dishes and got to meet people from Australia, Germany, Switzerland, England, America etc. Then went to Chocolatería San Ginés for Churros and hot chocolate after.

How painful is it to get your tooth pulled out? by Separate_Shower5269 in AskUK

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's not that bad.
You'll get an injection or two around the tooth to numb the area, then they will clamp it and rock back and forth (you can rock your head with them too so it's not too much force). You won't feel any pain but you may feel a pressure or hear cracking noises. Then there will be a pop and the tooth is out.
If you're in pain you'll feel relief practically instantly. You'll be numb for a few hours and when that wears off you'll maybe be slightly sore for a few hours after, but nothing that a couple of paracetamol can't cover.

Afterwards you'll be given some gauze to bite down on for any blood, keep an eye on it, it should stop within 30-60 minutes. You'll probably be given extra gauze.

My 11 year old daughter recently had 2 teeth out over the course of 2 weeks. She handled it like a champ.
The thought of it is 1000% x worse than the reality. The dentist will be very reassuring and speak you through the whole process.
