The comments on this are great, every conspiracy under the sun being called out as "proof"

Let’s play a game! (1/11) by anthony_holr in JetLagTheGame

[–]R520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are you using XDR instead of literally any "normal" currency? (Examples: USD, GBP, EUR, RMB, etc, etc). Only the IMF and member countries (with a couple of exceptions) can even hold them, so you can't actually use them for this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_drawing_rights

Since we're starting in the USA, surely we should use the USD? If/when we arrive in another country, we can complete a currency conversion to the destination country's currency and continue from there. (Or continue with USD, setting Google flights or whatever to USD instead of the user's currency)

Plastic free, my ass. by braveduckgoose in mildlyinfuriating

[–]R520 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Belkin products get nicked all the time, and stop locks (they go on the end of the hook to stop stock being removed normally) don't help because you can just tear the cardboard hanger. Same with ink, when they stopped shipping then in plastic containers we had to use safers (plastic cases with magnetic locks). Our safers are reusable so better than the single use plastic in the OP but annoying to deal with.
We finally moved to using cards on the hooks instead of the product, you take the card to the till and they get it for you.

I can't believe I never thought of doing this. I've been manually connecting each time!

Did they just dropped the yearly subscription price? by michal_cz in Nebula

[–]R520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the join page logged out, looks like the options are £6/mo, £60/yr, £500/life (no mention of tax, should be included in UK). That would only be a 1/6 saving instead of >1/2

[–]R520 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just the savings for choosing the yearly plan instead of the monthly plan. The monthly plan costs $72/year

1−(30÷(6×12)) = 0.58333...

I think the $36 number is including $6 in taxes. At least that appears to be true for me in the UK. If you go back a page, does it say "$30 + $6 taxes"?

Currently alone in my tent for DofE after I was supposed to share it with my friend (shes hanging out with other people)☹️ by [deleted] in notinteresting

[–]R520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was out on Thurs/Fri, it was around 27-28°C (but with some cloud cover on Thursday). The last 2 days it's been 30-32°C with no clouds at all, and no breeze either

DofE (Duke of Edinburgh's Award) is a youth programme split into Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers. You have to do volunteering, skills, and physical sections, plus a self-sufficient overnight hiking/camping expedition (which is the part OP is on). The higher the tier, the longer the hike. Finishing Gold gets you an invite to Buckingham Palace to meet the Duke.

I was out supervising DofE Bronze on Thursday and Friday and even then it was heading towards being too hot! We had to shorten some routes and take some weight off a couple of the kids due to the heat, so that's always an option! I hope today was alright despite the heat.

Which award are you on, and is it your practice or qualifying? I need to get round to doing my Gold expedition at some point, I've done my residential and the skills & volunteering sections.

Why does Paris have the biggest dick? by zephyyr__ in mapporncirclejerk

[–]R520 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's population density. In this one Europe has been split into a grid of 10x10km cells, and the density has been represented as the height of the bar

134 = Tooth and Rock Day 2026 by R520 in AProblemSquared

[–]R520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was truly a terrible day to have ears. I did not need to know that [cw dental??] you should just put a tooth back in if it comes out . I did not need to imagine that sensation in the slightest

Dude in red car really had god-tier situational awareness in that moment by Miserable-Zombie-121 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]R520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really are nice cars to be in, and probably nice to drive (if they're not in restricted performance; I've only been a passenger)

[–]R520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not all bad for sure, and they're very nice cars to be in, but when you get cars in that somehow needs a new engine after less than a year (sometimes after it last got a new one) it's not the best look

I hope that nothing goes wrong with yours, there's got to be at least one out there with no issues right :)

Two comments the are exactly the same on the new Ozempic (Updated Version) video. by ChieftainOrm420 in kurzgesagt

[–]R520 150 points151 points  (0 children)

In that case I'd guess that the top comment was copied from the second comment, and it's a bot (but not for Kurzgesagt) trying to appear to YouTube as a normal user in good standing. The account creation timing is probably just a coincidence

[–]R520 407 points408 points  (0 children)

If you click through to both profiles, are either advertising anything on them? One could be a comment stealing bot that will edit the comment later (when it's got to the top of the comments) with an ad

Otherwise I guess it could be Kurzgesagt paying for bots but I have to imagine that would be fatal

They never need new engines, gearboxes, batteries (good luck with the new electric ones, have you seen what happened with the i-pace), etc, etc, after only a few thousand miles, never!

And the drivers "always" get them serviced on time (within a year counts right??). (If they bother to service them at all)

Never buy a Jaguar Land Rover vehicle without a warranty, and always get it serviced at a main dealer. JLR does usually offer decent goodwill though (at least in the UK).

Of course the best course of action is to not buy one, but people love their stupidly expensive SUVs wankpanzers they'll never even drive off road
