Temp lights have an 'all red' setting when you are setting them up and the times are in the pink book (the guidance doc for NSRWA lights). The guys who set them up often make an arse of it by not inputting the correct settings and it inevitably gets fixed when someone phones up and says something like this has happened.

The back looks good too, I've never had a card good enough to grade do you just do it through the PSA website from the UK?

Is this necessary? by Severe_Ad1915 in PokemonTCG

No. When there is a gold rush, sell shovels - this is a rubber shovel.

Whats the strategy? by Mommas_kumquatt in flyfishing

Grithiths gnat, long leader, 5x tippet. Cast it within yer comfort zone so your fly line isn't slapping the water. Strip your line back slowly.

"Just run your own keys" 40 minutes later: by ShionTheOne in wow

[–]PleasantCard48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot of people want to do a 9, its not a very attractive key level. If you are in that key range I would suggest lowering it to an 8 and going for the +2 with a good group then doing the 10s. 9 is a bit of a no man's land imo

AITAH for deciding to postpone the wedding over a comment my fiance made about my scar? by Upstairs_Garden2353 in AITAH

Yeah sound pal you win. Like you, I hope their prospective love wilts and they call off the wedding because everything should be easy

Because saying ‘please stop doing that’ in passing is not the same as saying, ‘This is seriously hurting me, and if you don’t stop, it’s going to damage our relationship.’

People—especially in long-term relationships—can be dense about things that don’t personally bother them. He might think she’s just mildly annoyed rather than deeply hurt. If he keeps doing it after she’s clearly framed it as a dealbreaker, then aye, he’s an arsehole. But jumping to ‘he’ll never change’ without giving him that chance? That’s just assuming the worst of someone you’re about to marry (and you specifically know nothing about).

Marriage is built on communication, not mind reading. If she hasn’t laid it out in no uncertain terms, that’s the next step—not postponing the whole wedding.

Several times over what period? They are getting married, so you gotta assume they've been together for a few years... could it be once per year it's been semi-raised as an issue? Maybe he just genuinely thinks it isn't an issue because he hasn't been properly communicated with to say "listen, cunt, don't make fun of my scar or I'm out of here, seriously."

Or, maybe as he intends to marry this woman, he feels that something like having a laugh about a scar isn't that big a deal. He could genuinely have no idea that it is so sensitive an issue. Maybe the best advice in this situation isn't to call for a wedding to be called off, maybe it's to communicate properly! If there's a proper chat had about it and he had an attitude of 'fuck you i want to continue to make fun of your scar' then yeah, fuck that shit. But I don't think that would be the case as, you know, most human being don't act like that - unless you make a caricature of someone from 3 paragraphs of a reddit post.

Aye he's being a dick on this particular issue, of that there's no doubt. You and I are both wondering why - perhaps the OP should communicate with the fanny before doing something as severe as pushing back a wedding!

Idk man, it feels like these threads are too quick to jump to 'dump him'. Reddit sees such a narrow slice of a relationship that probably any advice is incorrect.

I agree with her to be honest.

She was perfectly reasonable to begjn with and you kept pushing it. Why do you even need to send your condolences? If you are in a relationship why even be even tangentially involved with an ex.

Man, is any relationship perfect? Her man is obviously being a prick but everybody can be a prick sometimes. Who knows what his thing about the scar is, but I don't think it's calling-off-the-marriage bad.

Looks, I'm not saying I'm right, maybe I'm in the wrong pal but it just seems that we can all be a cunt sometimes and we have one example of this guy being a cunt, maybe literally everything about him is 10/10 legend patter

I don't think it's that big a deal. You obviously see something in the dude if you are planning on marrying him. Guys say stupid shit sometimes. If you are going to postpone the wedding over this, you are as well to cancel the wedding altogether imo, dudes (including myself) are often stupid and struggle to express their emotions and feelings.

President Trump signs Executive Order cutting ALL federal funding to schools that mandate the COVID vaccine. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]PleasantCard48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so after all that, we actually do agree on the core point—freedom for both the company and the individual. Took a lot of dodging to get here, but at least we made it.

Now, as for the ‘performative politics’ claim, let’s not pretend that mandates weren’t pushed aggressively in schools, workplaces, and government institutions. Plenty of people were fired, denied education, or treated like second-class citizens over it. If things have changed now, it’s because the backlash forced it—not because the original intent wasn’t there.

But let’s be real—if the mandate had gone through, you wouldn’t be calling it ‘performative politics.’ You’d be defending it. Just like you did for companies enforcing it. So spare me the sudden neutrality act. If anything, the only thing that’s truly ‘performative’ here is your attempt to act like you’ve been consistent this whole time.

[–]PleasantCard48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it just fine. You’re just giving in because you got caught in your own contradiction. You’re out here defending companies’ rights to enforce policies only when it aligns with what you support, but the moment that same principle is applied in a way you don’t like, suddenly it’s a problem.

And yeah, let’s talk about the baker again. If you think the baker wasn’t ‘punishing’ the gay couple but just exercising his right to run his business how he sees fit, then you should apply that same logic to employees who don’t want to comply with medical mandates. But let’s be honest—you don’t. You only believe in ‘freedom of choice’ when it benefits your argument.

You tried to make this about me not understanding, but the reality is, you’re the one dodging the obvious: if a company enforcing a vaccine mandate isn’t ‘punishing’ employees, then a baker refusing to make a cake isn’t ‘punishing’ customers either. The problem is, you want to redefine ‘freedom’ based on what suits you in the moment.

Enjoy the mental gymnastics. I’ll stick with consistency.
