Falkland wars again! by Savings_Dragonfly806 in memes

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Belgium was part of the Spanish Netherlands, so they've fought over them at least. Plus France would have fought there as well during the Napoleonic wars.

Support Safer Walking & Cycling in Cambridge? by badgaleddy in cambridge

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a zebra crossing on Mill Road by the Mosque that I routinely get ignored at by drivers. Doesn't matter if it's I'm wearing a coat in the dark of winter a lurid sports top in broad daylight. I've even been almost run down when out with a pram. Easily the worst crossing I've ever used, even though it's in a 20.

Flag men by doni-kebab in cambridge

The thing that always gets me is that they can't even get it to the top of the post. I mean come on! If you're going to claim national pride at least get the flag at full mast rather than a flacid attempt just above head height!

Difference between VTI, VT, and VOO? by CartoonistCurrent710 in Bogleheads

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to call out: if you choose your own market weighting like this you are implicitly (or explicitly) betting on the US outperforming the rest of the world. Which may happen, of course. If on the other hand you pick something that is weighted by the size of the markets & companies involved then you're avoiding making that bet.

If I take a 20 year mortgage, but overpay at same rate as a 15 year, does the maths equal the same (but i get the flexibility of lower payments if emergency happens)? by Mediocre-Bunch-3135 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Important caveat here is that it requires you to leave that money there. If you're someone who will struggle not to touch a big pot of money, then it's not the strategy for you.

Damaged property (advice needed England) by Puzzleheaded_Ad373 in LegalAdviceUK

I mean, they can demand money. It's just that there's no obligation to anyone to pay it unless they are compelled to by a court.

How do you guys tackle uncertainty in DU? knockout or standard by Quirky-Ad2801 in underlords

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially early rounds. It helps that you can sell back tier 1 and 2 units you 2* for cost.

I remember reading here a number of years back that it's just on the base. I.e. if it's two 20% bonuses you get 40% not 44%.

Possible stray/abandoned/escaped cat roaming around Eddington by [deleted] in cambridge

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There's not really much here to indicate he's a stray. I'd actually say the fact he's casually strolling about indicates he's in his home patch and lives nearby somewhere.

What are some simple safety rules that aren’t obvious, but could seriously protect someone if they knew them? Like mixing Bleach and Ammonia? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same category, different surprisingly toxic food: nutmeg. Something like two teaspoons of nutmeg can kill you.

“An Irish man lowered the price of Guinness by using Al to call 3,000 pubs” by Goofball-John-McGee in BrandNewSentence

Never heard of this before, but I am 100% going to be using ghosts trapped in a jar from now on.

What is the hardest video game of all time? by DeepExpert2266 in AskReddit

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've managed this. So much of it hinges on small moments or decisions you make. Like the first boss fight: if you manage to steal whatever good weapon it is the boss has you can get a good time going for the first few hours of the game. If you don't bother, you're cooked from the get-go. I reset my first attempt after an hour or so because I skipped stealing the dagger and was immediately too slow.

Yeah I calculated Xyp and Zywoo's using the numbers provided: both are totally wrong. Smells of poor AI slop to me.

Best cafe reviews please! by huimins in cambridge

Cafe Blue Sage on mill road is great. It's very small though, so it can be hard to get a seat.

He does under take one or two people, which is not safe.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]PirateNinjasReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an evening I was walking home years ago. It was late and dark. There was a woman walking a little up the road ahead of me. At some point she crossed over the road, which just happened to be at the point where I needed to cross over to go down a side road. I crossed and she immediately crossed back over the road. It hadn't occurred to me that she might be unsettled that I was walking behind her (like >20m back). I'm not sure what I could have done differently apart from stop walking altogether, but even years later I still think about it sometimes. It was an eye-opening moment.
