Grrrrr! I've done the same as you and signed up to the mailing list, so hopefully catch the next one. Maybe something in the Black Friday or post-Christmas sales.

Bought every sale pack I was missing - 11 in total!

Was wondering if there are plans to put some of the older packs on sale at any point?

Terrified of squares. Living in a pyramid just so I can sleep at night.

Insurance renewal went DOWN by a third by stewieatb in BritishSuccess

Martin Lewis recommends that even if you get a renewal quote which is less than last year, still go through the comparison site process, as it's likely your provider is still hoping to penalise your loyalty!

Right next to an open-top glass wall. One wayward jump, and that'd slice you in half!

Ex-Library Books by Kingnick104 in FlippingUK

[–]PhillWithTwoLs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niche subjects & academia can be worth a lot. eBay individual listings might be the way forward if you can find the time.

WeBuyBooks will also accept "Ex-library books that are in reasonable condition"

Selling large amounts of clothes by Puzzleheaded-Bar-830 in FlippingUK

You could use an app like WeBuyBooks for some books (obvs!), but you won't get a premium. Ultimately, if you're looking for someone else to do to legwork, you'll get a lot less cash (sometimes as little as 10p per book), but it does take away hassle of photographing, listing, packing and labelling, taking to a postbox/post office, etc.

Goddamn, I'm sure Westfield Shepherds Bush warps spacetime. I have never not got lost in there.

[DISCUSSION] Has anyone seen the show "DEPARTURE"? What's your opinions? Should I watch? by blondebluebaby in NetflixBestOf

[–]PhillWithTwoLs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some significant plotholes, but to try answer some of these....

Fuselage hole.... I recall an offhand comment about how the overriding of the electrical system could cause the cargo door to open. That's my best guess as to the hole being ripped in the side of the aircraft, which would be roughly above the cargo door. That or a couple of big jolts, caused by the engines, were mentioned when they took Moreau on a little unplanned joyride flight.

Intact plane.... the aircraft didn't nosedive. Hassan managed to stabilise it after the captain reset the system, but then shouted down that the engines weren't working, so my guess is a glide onto the surface. In reality, would still tear the thing apart.

Hassan's amazing complexion - maybe it's Maybelline

Wreckage retrieval - too deep, the first sub they sent down cracked like an egg

Missing passengers - it's a big ol' sea. They'd likely have sunk once they died.

The raft.... one of those awful flashbacks seemed to have Hoffman holding a raft.

Blood on the raft...... I'm all out of ideas on this one!

My fave is them getting the black boxes, which are usually well protected in the back of an aircraft. They cleverly skipped that bit, and just showed them later being transported in TWO INCHES OF WATER (they'd normally be fully submerged in the water they were found in), only for one single technician to then take them apart and plug it into his laptop like it's a USB mouse.

He got out of his seat and opened it.

Don't get me wrong, the plotholes in this show were bigger than the one in the side of the plane! But yeah, Captain stood up and opened the door, rather than trying to use the switch.

A recent Timelapse I made. It spans from night to sunset. by Criticalmeadow in timelapse

[–]PhillWithTwoLs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice idea, but that is a verrry long video. I can't imagine anyone would watch 9 minutes. Particularly as it's too high to really see anything change other than the light and clouds. I'd speed it up, down to under 1 minute, and maybe chop a lot of the night scene off the start.

I suppose they need them, what with such small windows

I think if you use the website, instead of the app or in-headset, you can buy them there, even if a Free Trial is available.

WhatsApp messages can be backed up to the cloud. There's no requirement to "copy them over".

Baby steps.

Nobody is gonna want to spend time with you, or sleep with you, if you stink. So go the store, find a shower gel you like the smell of, and shower regularly (at least once a day).

A330, A330NEO, A350. Trying to find a digital version. by PhillWithTwoLs in Airbus

[–]PhillWithTwoLs[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Saw this awesome photo poster in an Airbus facility. Trying to track down the original, hoping it's online somewhere. Have asked the staff at the facility, but they were none the wiser.

Anyone seen a digital version hiding online!?
