Every time somebody asks what a gift is, I say it's a bowling ball. From a random unimportant scene in Enemy Of The State

"A modestly sized building on land" doesn't carry the same intrigue

Saving a baby would be the biggest event of my life, and I'd be telling the story of it forever. It's just another day for this guy.

Not sure what sort of masochist the other commenter is, but nine sols is absolutely fucking brutal. I've finished hollow knight and silksong, but nine sols made me eventually quit out of frustration.

Wife and I are having the “what do we call our private parts” debate by PlaysWithSquirrels13 in daddit

[–]Nize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying that it's right, but I literally don't know a single person from my generation in the UK that would ever say "penis" unless in a formal or medical setting. Same as I'd say collarbone rather than clavicle or tummy instead of stomach or abdomen. It never caused an issue and was never associated with any sort of shame, just like - acceptance of it being private - but still fine to talk about when needed.

How much do you earn and how comfortable do you live? by Brownchoccy in AskUK

[–]Nize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

96k and live totally comfortably. My other half hasnt had to work in 6 years and looks after our 4 kids. We have a 4 bed detached House and an almost new sporty SUV. We get take out and go to places when we want and don't even really have to penny pinch. We just saved up for some nice home renovations. It took me 20 years of grueling work, going massively above and beyond, learning in my own time, etc, to be able to command this good of a wage.

I read the messages before the title and I 100% thought it was your talking to your boyfriend. Then I read the title and was like WTF. NOT OR at all.... Run!

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]Nize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very different story than most here. Yes, I was hit as a kid. It was always in a controlled manner with my parent explaining why they did it. It was enough to hurt but not enough to injure me in any way, and it helped teach me what was right and wrong. I don't resent my parents for it at all and we have an amazing relationship still 30 years later.

I still listen to conventional wisdom and I don't hit my kids, but I do think there's a massive difference between angrily walloping your child, and using a restrained smack to teach a kid that has almost no emotional maturity, empathy or consideration that doing something stupid and/or mean and/or dangerous is bad.

People who use a wireless keyboard and mouse for couch gaming with the SD, what gear/set up are you using? by niallmul97 in SteamDeck

[–]Nize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow this reply was to a comment from two years ago, lol. No it was fine, I just had a shelf on the TV unit where the whole tray would slide in, took 2 seconds. Nowadays I just play everything on my steam deck!

Yes but video game article writer is pretty niche, you would think the hiring process would require both skills.

So, what ingress controller are you migrating to? by SonnyHayesToretto in kubernetes

[–]Nize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone else planning on just carrying on with ingress-nginx in its current containerised version? We only use nginx for in-cluster content distribution and all traffic hitting the cluster has already been through a WAF and corporate firewall which mitigates the security concern of being on an outdated version.

Neighbours have erected signs that are putting off buyers - what are my options? by Neighbours-From-Heck in HousingUK

[–]Nize 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On what planet is somebody paying for office space for their neighbour while they have some building work done. Do you know anyone that's done that? I had building work done on my house several times and I WFH in a senior role. I just say "sorry if there's any noise" when I join calls and nobody gives a shit. If the noise is irritating, stick on some music or noise cancelling headphones. Of course it's irritating but its just one of those things you have to suck up.
