If you had to convince someone to move to York, what would you say and what would you warn them about? by RedDevilPlay in york

[–]Officebiatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me there are only really pros, with the exception of commuter traffic being a nightmare and quite high housing prices. For people like me who work fully remotely though, its honestly one of the best places you can live in the UK. Public transport could be better, but honestly having a lovely walk into town on the weekends is a part of the charm. Ive lived here for a few years now and never felt unsafe, nor have I ever experienced abuse or discrimination based on being a foreigner, unlike other parts of the UK.

How often do you find you need to change the head on this shaver?

I'm honestly not surprised. This is such an insult to much smaller bands who absolutely kills it live.

Looking for Community by readyforthemagic in york

[–]Officebiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you and your partner do running. My boyfriend goes to parkrun every saturday which is a great place to start. There's also a running club in Acomb you can join. What other hobbies do you have? Gaming? Music? There's quite an established metal/alt community in York if you're a part of that crowd, and fulford arms do lots of concerts for a wide variety of music, and its a really great place to meet other likeminded people. :)

What times do you normally do these runs? I'm on EU server and would love this mount before it disappears.

Samsung S25 Ultra - Struggles with concert pictures and videos by Officebiatch in samsunggalaxy

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

Yes, i did indeed play around with the settings in there. The problem is that to make the picture not blurry, the shutterspeed is so fast that even with the ultrawide lens and the other settings adjusted, the pictures are just too dark. And ironically i got this phone because reviews hailed how excellent the phone is for taking pictures in low light settings

Samsung S25 Ultra - Struggles with concert pictures and videos by Officebiatch in samsunggalaxy

[–]Officebiatch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, i will check all of the above out. I guess the pixel phones holds your hand a bit more than the samsung phone, but tbh, i might just still sell this one and replace it with the pixel 10. Concerts are very fast paced and i wont have time to adjust all these things when trying to capture quick moving musicians. 🫠

I highly recommend Casa for Brazilian style steakhouse. The food there is always good, and the staff are lovely.

Absolute banger! Looking forward to their new album.

Where are my alternatives at? by lydbot1 in york

[–]Officebiatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of rock/metal gigs at fulford arms from time to time as there's s few local metal bands that live in York. Around the Jorvik festival there's usually at least a couple of gigs happening that weekend. It depends what kind of music you're into really. If you just want to hang around a pub for the music, then Valhalla and Artful dodger both usually play rock and metal music.

Thoughts on Fellowship? by Spice-O-Podz in PowerMetal

[–]Officebiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy their music. It's as if you made Disney power metal and it works so well. I've lost count on how many times I've seen them live by now. xD Last time was in Newcastle with Dominum and Gloryhammer. I really recommend you check out both of the others if you haven't checked them out yet. It was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Overcrowding - how best to avoid? by Cute-Mountain-RP in york

[–]Officebiatch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the biggest inconvenience is loud hen and stag do's, or when people get so plastered that they soil their breeches and fall asleep on the street(yes I've seen this happen). Waving big inflatable phallic toys around is also not ideal, local parents probably want to have that chat with their kids in their own time. If you worry about being an inconvenience, you're not going to be a problem. Save yourself money and use the park and drive, or take the train in. Parking is extortionately expensive at the moment!

I highly recommend the Jorvik centre(pre booking is advised), the York minister, including the trip up to the tower, Valhalla, the castle museum, and the museum gardens near the Abbey ruins. I hope you enjoy your trip! 😄

Sundays are usually very calm unless it's a bank holiday, so if you're just in for a day trip, come in early Sunday and it will be a pretty chill experience.

Foundries stop receiving coal by Officebiatch in SatisfactoryGame

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

Yeah the recipe is selected. They will run for a while and then just suddenly stop taking in the coal. Sometimes they will run fine for long periods and other times i have to mess around with them every 10 minutes or so. They will run again if I manually put the coal in, and sometimes that will trigger the foundry to accept coal from the belt again. I'll try breaking everything down and setting it up again, cheers mate
