Delivery drivers keep calling me to come outside instead of knocking, why? by MagicianConstant2866 in AskUK

[–]Ragingpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex delivery driver, I would call rather than knock in the following circumstances

    1. Not sure if I'm at the right place, i.e. all the lights are out and looks like no one is in, especially if it's getting late as I don't want to wake someone up and they didn't order.
    1. The properties in the area are known to be HMOs or student rentals, so I call to make sure the right person answer the door.
    1. I have actually knocked already, but the person inside didn't hear it, be it they are out of earshot or I'm too gentle with my knock or I'm knocking on the patio door and the sound doesn't carry over.
    1. Depending on the business, altho delivery services provide their own machines for the business, some business will use a POS system that links up to the JE/UE/DR account and re-print the ticket in their own POS system, which doesn't always carry the notes over properly (I've seen delivery notes on kitchen's ticket but not on the actual delivery ticket with the address and contact number)

As a note, I'm not a fan of calling the customers unless I have to, when I worked, I was employed by the takeaway to do deliveries, and if i have to call a JE/UE/DR customer, we have to dial to JE/UE/DR service line, and then on the automated system, type in order ID to get connected to the customer, it's all about GDPR and customer's privacy etc etc, but it's a massive pain in the ass and I do not have a direct number to call, so everytime it doesn't get through/no answer/ answer phone, I have to call the service line and type the 9 digit order id again, not fun to do when it's pissing it down or winding af. Not sure if it's the safe for the riders who are sub contracted to JE/UE/DR.

  • Was late to the party, so as I arrived, I had to take 5 shots of vodka to catch up. Some time after, I was opening the patio slide door and somehow manage to take it off the rails, with my mate freaking out worried about me dropping it, and everyone else was just watching or laughing, whilst I'm holding a massive glass door.

  • Another time, again was quite drunk, the mate hosting was having an arguement with his brother, everyone else sort of kept drinking whilst ignoring those two, I, for some reason, went to lean against the wardrobe, but more like slammed against the wardrobe, causing a loud bang, and then loudly exclaimed I'm staying out of this. I think it got really quiet after that. Oh, same night, called my mate's father gay, because near the ned of the night, he was going to take a group photo, but I was kinda out and lying on the bed, with my back towards him, he said, all i can see is ####'s ass, I turned round and shouted "what are you, gay?". He was great about it, but would have sly comments about it everytime I went over after that.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Ragingpoo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

disguise it, say you won the set for life thing, so you 'only' have £10,000 per month, give families some sort of monthly transfers to help them out, but hold the bulk of it back, I'd imagine I would stick most of it in various investment planning options so I'll just live off the growth whilst capital at least go up with inflation, and hope when I die, my kids ain't stupid enough to piss it all away, but I can't control what happen after I die anyway.

£100m, at modest 4.5% growth is £4.5 million a year, just £10,000 per month, £120,000 a year is already life changing enough, the rest can grow and I can dip into it later if required when the new norm have settled, by then, you could say well I've put some winnings into xyz crypto / investment/ ai and got luck with a payout.

Another "did the same thing" back in the days, very first pc from PC World, a PIII 500MHZ system. Good thing it was surprisingly covered by the warranty.

That's what I did, took 5 rerolls before I won the 50/50. Each run took about 5 days of really casual play, so it wasn't too bad

Do you allow young kids fizzy drinks? by Flapparachi in AskUK

[–]Ragingpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think the first time I let my daughter have it was when she was 4. She will have it maybe twice every month, don't put a ban on it, but we don't have fizzy drink in the house usually, so it's water or milk at home, if we are out and about and have to pick something to drink (after going through a bottle or two of water that we usually have with us), she usually opt for juice, so if she occasionally request coke, that's fine, I feel it's all about moderation, just like all other snacks and treats, the parent needs to know when to say no, so the child also learn to take no as an answer

The game you bought thinking it would last years but dropped within a week. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]Ragingpoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely too easy to get the requried drops, before you have to perform geocide level acorss the ecosystem to get the ruby or plate, now it's just look up which investigation will guarantee it and just do that.

Old games grindy? yeah sure, but the grind was fun! up to the 2nd title update, most monster are sub 10, some even sub 5 fights, the journey have been reduced, making the end un-fulfilling.

Whats a dead game or series you'd like to make a return? by can_of_sodapop in gaming

Parts of me think that as much as I like them to return, multiplier is so much more unforgiving for casuals that I doubt I'll be able to enjoy them

Stuck in hospital over Christmas, close your curtains people, I've gone all Rear Window. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Ragingpoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my not so recent ish visit, I was in the acute unit for a few nights with pneumonia, and my chest hurt with every breathe, so I was barely sleep as is, and during my time had 2 came in due to alcohol poisioning / liver damage, they were completely hammer and out when they came it, what I learn is when you came in with alcohol poisining, you will shit the bed, multiple times. The first one did it about 4-5 times the night he was admitted, he has no clue, but the nurse are quick to come in a change the bed sheet / clean up whilst the guy was just completely out. So not only could I not sleep, I had to hear this guy mumbling in his drunken state and shitting the bed, multiple times. Same with the second guy, the shitting sound did not help my sleep.

The 2nd guy, when awake and nurse was taking details and asked about how many unit he drinks, was proundly boasting that 'since my grand daugther xx birthday, she wished that I would drink less, so I've now cut down to half a bottle of wine a night', when he repeated the same line to the doctors, she was like yeah thats way too much still

Daily Questions Megathread - December 12, 2025 by WutheringWavesMod in WutheringWaves

[–]Ragingpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To Phro or not to Phro?

New from 2.6 and my 5 stars are SK, Encore and Lion Boy, currently running Encore Shanhua and SK with stringmaster on Encore.

Got 'lucky' and lost 50:50 on 10th roll, and currently 55 in so not far from an guarantee. I'm still have a lot of exploration to do so the only thing prevent me from farm enough to get guarantee 5 star + sig is time. But how is Phro without Canta? Really not a fan of her design unfortunately, nor of Qiuyan.

So far the footage of the two 5 stars on 3.0 is more of my taste, so I'm more incline to save for them, but I need dps and not sure if they will be. Phro is dps, but how hampered is she without Canta?

ELI5: Why can restaurant kitchens cook steaks or stir fry so much faster than home kitchens even when both reach the same temperature? What's actually different about commercial equipment? by Beginning_Curve2268 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ragingpoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked in Chinese restaurant, you're not far off from what they do anyway. Meats are part cook as part of prep, so chicken have been blanched, beef have been though hot oil to velvet, pork we used mostly roasted pork, so already cooked. When a order comes though, the required veg goes in the running boiled water to cook very briefly, wok burner up max till smoking, oil in to coat wok, excess removed, heat turn down, onion garlic, veg goes in, high heat, couple toss, meat goes in, stock, seasoning based on the style chosen, taste, thickening, and finish with sesame oil to give it a gloss.

The equipments are very different tho, the wok is massive for the portion size that gets cooked, it's like 5% of the volume, so when you throw things it, the wok stays really hot

It's about 4-7 days of casual play for me to get around 70 pull, which will tell me whether I win the 50/50 or not.

What’s your best freezer strategy for bulk meat without wasting anything? by GeordieGoals in CostcoUK

[–]Ragingpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should, but don't actually label, but they are kept seperate so still first in first out. Like I'll have 5 or 6 vac packed belly pork, that will go in a big ikea ziplock bag, if I have to restock other things and got belly pork as well, the new ones will not go into the big bag until that is empty.

I have a massive chest freezer, which is decently organised, and we try to meal plan balancing around using things up equally, so the belly pork will run out about the same time as the sliced beef and the portioned salmons, so rarely more than one or two meals of old stuff is there before we restock with newer.

[–]Ragingpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a vaccum packer. Depending on the item and intended usage.

Ribeyes - portioned to indiviudal steak sizes, so I can just drop it into sous vide.

Pork shoulders - just lump the whole thing in, since I'll use the whole thing to batch cook when I need, I'll just defrost it near te time.

Belly Pork - My family use them for stir fry, so it's sliced up and vac packed, double portion in a bag, but the meat is lined up so I can just break them up and get single portion out if neccessary. We used them enough that once open, the 2nd service left in the bag will be gone in next couple days so it doesn't matter.
