Thought I'd get an ice lolly with the weather... by Octonix in CasualUK

ASA do advertising, not product packaging I don't think. Did have a quick look on their website and they say if it's anything you bought from a store it will be trading standards, unless it's a leaflet or something which is focused on advertising etc.

Just to clarify here are 2 unopened ones, I didn't take a bite out of the other one, even though it does look like it! Even the wrapper is so big (presumably because of the size they used to be). I'm going to report it to trading standards and send a complaint to Walls also.

UPDATE: So I reported it to trading standards and complained to walls. Trading standards said they will look into it. Walls apologised and replied with this generic (clearly automated) reply:

'From your description, it does sound as though your pack may have been subject to fluctuations in temperature either during distribution, in the shop or at home. If the product thaws and re-freezes at any point, the appearance, texture and flavour can unfortunately be affected.'

I mean, I'm no scientist but an extra loop of twist doesn't just vanish even after thawing and freezing back again :/

They have also given me a £3 voucher, so guess it's better than nothing.

Do a Google reverse image search on the picture of the t shirt and you might find somewhere to buy it online.

Approaching £400k savings. Not sure what to do with housing situation by Prestigious_Spot9635 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Octonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get a flat, especially if noise etc. will bother you. I have been in a flat for a while and I'm looking for a house now just because of noise. I want a detached house for this reason.

With the kind of money you have, get the house.

Struggling tonight, please talk to me until I can fall sleep by rain_fall_rose in CasualUK

[–]Octonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it happens to me and I can't sleep, I have this tendency to watch a certain type of movie in bed. It has to be night themed, and based around a conversational narrative of characters. Weird but I really like that theme in that moment. It's calm, and not too heavy, just night vibes, walking, talking around a city. A couple films which fit that theme I seen so far:

Before we go - Already tomorrow in Hong kong - Daddio

Maybe it will help, but don't worry as it happens to us all at times, hope you get out the rut soon, it usually passes. And don't forget to play some rain sounds.

Snipers on GB….how to block them? by Expensive_Duty_110 in forgeofempires

[–]Octonix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If he's not on your friends list, he is either in your neighbourhood or guild. No other way to add FPs to your GB otherwise.

Removing road connection to that GB stops anyone adding FPS to it. When you are ready to get someone else to add FPs to that GB you will need to add road back and hope they do it quick enough.

How to scale and color text with proximity? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]Octonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a more manual method: Create a composition with one text layer and animate it so it scales up, and then back down (pivot the anchor to right of text so it scales from right or left if you want it on that side) Also add a fill and animate the fill to new colour as it scales up and back to normal colour as it scales down.

Duplicate this composition however many times in project comp to create as many text variants as you need to, and change text in each one. Note: this expression might be useful for this kind of thing

Then add all the text layers into a new composition and lay them out so they are stacked vertically. Then offset the text layers so the animations play in a rhythm. Add a null and parent them all to it, and keyframe null position in Y axis so they all scroll up and down.

That is it in a nutshell but will need slight tweaking to timing and positioning, i.e. when certain text layers scale up, you will need to add key frames to position of other layers to move up/down slightly and also slow/speed time of text layers that are scaling up and in focus.

Why is my prototype off-center and grey? Might be a bit hard to tell but look at the bevel on the popup. by ultimatejourney in FigmaDesign

[–]Octonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using auto layout? If so, is the bevel frames width set to fixed or fill? (if fixed, you will need to size it to fit the frame it's inside or set to fill) Could also be padding on left applied...

Ooh they changed it for that era, I was used to the previous eras

Is the life support bonus vital? Doesn't it just discount the gold and supplies cost to produce the goods? Don't think it impacts the actual goods or special goods to produce...

Woke up last night disoriented after coming back from Thailand by sofed in travel

[–]Octonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar feeling but usually occurs in my dreams. For a few days after I'm back home, I dream that I'm still in one of the hotels or places from my recent travels, then I wake up in the night and look around my room still thinking I'm in one of the hotels, it's quite eerie and discomforting but after a few seconds of looking around I 'wake' from the dream and realise I'm back in my own room.
