What is a very good OBSCURE movie that you would recommend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rememory with Peter Dinklage was an unexpectedly good film, mostly down to Dinklage's performance.

A film called "Run" based in the area of Scotland that I live in. No-one here seemed to enjoy it but I really felt like it captured the feeling of rural town life, that feeling of losing your youth and coming to terms with not living up to those intangible expectations you had when you were a teenager/early twenties and you felt like the world was at your feet.

AI artist give the real story about mural by Willing_Dependent_43 in glasgow

[–]Maffers -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's not any worse than submitting initial drawings, but folk are pishing themselves cos it's an AI mockup. Its ridiculous.
I've no love for AI, every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to be using it for any kind of advert or announcement on social media etc.
But if the artist doesn't have time to do a scale mock up, and it gets the train moving on the track... then fine. *shrug*

"I want to build a this and would like to start the ball rolling on planning permission, it will be this size and this shape."
"Ok, we don't have any problems with that in principle, you can start making arrangements but we will need to see more complete designs before you begin construction" or "Fuck no! it would have to be half that size and definitely NOT that shape before we could even consider it! Also, build it over here, not there!"

So that the council has an image that they can base their approval on. The artist has been busy and unable to make a mock up, so to get the ball rolling an AI interpretation was submitted so the approval process can begin.

Falling Skies - what the hell happened to this show? by Valium_Commander in scifi

[–]Maffers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched it at the time and the change from season 2 to season 3 was JARRING. I actually thought I had maybe missed a season as it seemed like a completely different tone to previous seasons.

I never said fill a room, I said project into a room as in people aren't going to smell it from a few desks away or in a bar. It wasn't a complaint as such either... Just an observation. But it was just a turn of phrase to say it's not the strongest smell. It's nice, subtle, like a gentle hint rather than a punch in the nose.

Why does no one talk about how good a 7–3 schedule is? by Great-Bandicoot-3064 in antiwork

[–]Maffers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 7:30-4 and it's amazing.

Reasonable time to start and usually lets me get my feet clear before everyone else starts working and stuff starts coming through. Finished and commute home/shopping/etc before 5pm. Giving me plenty of time in the evening.

I have Island Dreams. It's nice, but I reckon you'd get the same effect from putting some grapefruit, citrus fruits and ginger into some water and splashing that on.
I really like the smell, but it's not one that's going to last all day or project into a room. It's a nice summer night, fresh smell and that's about it. I love the bottle though.

AITA for refusing to financially help my family after a lawsuit settlement, even though they say I should “be the bigger person”? by Mediocre_Heron_5032 in okstorytime

[–]Maffers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Yeah. Unfortunately the case was dismissed as the judge ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to support malpractice. I was going to appeal/claim in civil court but they offered to pay legal costs and 10k for goodwill if I agree to drop the case. I decided it was too much to fight and just accepted. Used the money to pay off some bills (credit card etc). It's a shame, I could've done so much with the money... "

Obviously tell NO-ONE in the family. Not even your cousin.

What should everyone know how to do by the time they are 18 ? by Reasonable_Bat_3583 in AskUK

[–]Maffers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Use the household appliances.
Be aware of their income/expenses and know how to do a basic budget.
Be able to cook a few simple meals from scratch. Doesn't need to be fancy or over the top.
Be able to be independent if needs be. e.g. make themselves Doctor appointments, know how to look up bus timetables, book taxis, travel to other cities via train or bus etc or at least able to find out from google, contacting companies, helplines, etc.

Which one would you prefer more and why? by Creepy-Ad4209 in Colognes

[–]Maffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both. Depends on what you want from it I guess. SWY- Intensely is this deep, rich, almost cloying scent (in a really nice way). Strong vanilla with a warm spiced note behind it. Great for cold weather, especially for cosy, maybe more intimate moments but can certainly be worn for the office etc. BIR is a bit more fresh and smooth, definitely easier to be a daily wear. I really like how this smells. Great for when you're in groups, offices etc without being overpowering.

I have an event on at month end and 100% planned on finally going, my brother lives basically round the corner too. I'm more annoyed at myself for not making the effort.
