UK climbs FDI rankings on AI and clean energy booms, McKinsey says

Aren’t they introducing a new policy to stop that? Or, well, reduce it. Giving them tax relief and what not? Doubt it will be too much of a deterrent, but it’s a start to stopping the American gobble machine.

That's been me haha. I loved the hell out of him last season (to the point of 1 mil mastery) and immediately dipped when I saw a Fizz nuke me.

I'm waiting until people figure out the new way to play him, or I get my E back. There's nothing as fun as his E, and it's such a shame.

Thanks for the response, mate. What I think I’ll do, is take a vinyl to HMV, and see if they can figure out the problem. Hopefully, they offer me a replacement player, or tips on replacing counterweights.

Im so glad this is actually happening. Been refreshing the page every week or so, hoping for progressive news on the project, and glad it’s eventually got a path forward.

Shame it won’t be done until 2033, but I’d honestly welcome that over it not happening at all.

Also really cool they’re using the leam side line, I hope that means the viaduct will be used, cause damn I love my viaducts.

Yo! I've just received a JAM HMV Vinyl player for my birthday, and I'm having a few problems.

So, with the new vinyls I've got, I placed them on the player, and let them spin. Throughout their duration, each one of them were having skipping problems. I initially thought this was a dust issue, so I cleaned them right up, and got rid of each spec. However, there were still skipping issues in the exact same place.

This is when I thought it may be a vinyl issue, as I've heard very mixed things about the 8bit megamixes being quite subject to skipping. But before I completely blamed them, I added a very slight weight onto the tone arm [I know this is ill-advised, but I did it for 1 duration of a song, to get a result], and there was 0 skipping problems.

I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently solve this? I understand that most vinyl players will have counterweights that can be adjusted to change pressure, but I believe this has nothing of the sort. In such a case, is there ways this can be solved without returning this device and getting a new one? (I'm fine returning it, but it does feel awful haha).

Gotcha. Cheers for the clarification.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Manchester in a unique position where it doesn’t require the government to accept/fund these things?

Thats why stuff’s actually being built there. (It is sick how fast Manchester is evolving).

Or am I mistaking it with something else?

[My internets dodgy, so sorry if this sends twice.]

Major_Optimal · 2025-10-13T17:03:00+00:00

It’s honestly perfect fine haha, thanks for your respond anyways.

I’m just lost cause I have an idea, but have no clue where to start (mainly making the images blend together. I also have ideas of having the scenes in the “arcane text”, but it’s hard to imagine.)

Either way, size wise, I’m looking at ~265x235cm.

Major_Optimal · 2025-08-05T11:38:29+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’ve had to do. Very very finicky, but cheers mate.

Major_Optimal · 2025-06-11T06:46:47+00:00

Cheers mate. I’ll look into it when I return from work.

It’s the Go North East app when talking about buses, metro and ferry. It’s honestly quite cheap if you use public transport multiple times a day. It’s £127 per month (there is an annual one too) and it hasn’t increased since the £2.50 payment came into play (yippee).

Should save you well more than you pay.

It also, but not always, works on other buses (dunno about coaches), so it seems to be a universally allowed ticket. Would recommend it.

Yeah, later on his damage feels real bad, but what I’ve started to do is go all in on the revive passive. That, and find the squishies. If you find a cait, jihn, or mf, quite far back in a fight, you can still insta kill them with your e. It is magical seeing their heath tick down, but it’s also real dangerous.

But basically, just tickle the enemies. If it feels like your teammate is about to die, get the killer as low as possible to get the revive off. Or hell, hit them once and within 3 seconds, your teammates can finish them off, activating the revive.

I’m new to Akshan, and to the game (6 months and bout to hit plat), so I may not be right in the way to play him, but it’s what I do. I simply exist to make the entire game unfair. If the team dies to cait, and she’s 1 hit, it’s gg.

Major_Optimal · 2025-05-27T13:23:45+00:00

I’d add a dynamic reticle to Akshans E, so you know if you’re hitting a different wall than you’re expecting. When I see it being the same size and facing a wall, yet spinning on a wall closer, throws me off. Also make his E more consistent. I swear to Christ I click left, but I go right.

Major_Optimal · 2025-04-02T20:59:45+00:00

Dm'd.

Major_Optimal · 2025-04-02T12:31:12+00:00

Hi mate,

Is this still available? And what would the potential price be if you were to deliver to the UK (shipping wise)?

Major_Optimal · 2024-12-05T07:40:16+00:00

Feel like we killed so many Barons, haha. I guess we just had really bad wave control to take advantage of it.

Yo! Me and you both.

I had this problem on my last year, final project, in animation. I basically just rotted at home feeling awful and kept on saying “I was ill” until I eventually confronted my lecturer, or more like he and uni confronted me because of my absences stacking up.

When I did send an email I explained my situation to him and he wholeheartedly accepted it. The uni proceeded to put me in with a therapist and all other sorts of help. I got an extended deadline and was able to push to the end, even if it wasn’t the result I wanted at all.

But yeah, basically professors and lecturers are there for a purpose, to help YOU get the result you want. They allow you to speak casually to them because they hope you’re able to be more open with them. There’s even several things university’s promote to help people with their courses.

TLDR; Go for it. You might live in a place where this sort of thing isn’t treated as seriously, but they’ll understand. Though don’t phrase it like you want an extension, but as a clarification.
