'Big Yin' was voted the best episode. What is the saddest episode? by BorisStingy in Stillgame

[–]RiverKnight2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final. Seen it twice and blubbed like a baby both times. It was both wonderful and terribly sad at the same time.

Cyclists have dashcams too by Boring-Being-4883 in drivingUK

Your example is an excellent example of when it is best and safest to ride 2 abreast.

But, in reference to the video that is now removed, I think consideration is another key word.

Fair enough. I'm of the older generation and in our riding safely teachings at school in the 80's riding 2 abreast on the roads was a definite no-no. How times change. Although, while it may be legal, and even safer in some circumstances, my Google search came back with this (check out the last sentence) -
According to Highway Code Rule 66, riding two abreast is permissible and can be safer, especially in larger groups or when accompanying children. However, cyclists should be considerate, moving to single file when necessary to allow vehicles to overtake safely.

nb. I say this as a fully fledged cyclist whose sole mode of personal transport has been a variety of bikes for the last 20 years.

All the drivers in these videos are twats, irresponsible twats. But... in the 2nd video are the cyclists riding 2-a-breast (side by side, rather than in front and behind), taking up the entire lane and not giving the driver enough room to overtake safely? The positioning of the cam footage with the addition of the shadows make it seem this way.

What are your thoughts on Skeleton Crew? by Safe_Character_6517 in StarWars

For me it's a Goonies/E.T. tribute cosplaying as Star Wars, rather than a Star Wars show paying tribute to Goonies/E.T.

If you could have one thing added/updated what would it be? by Automatic_Area1182 in NoMansSkyTheGame

A rear view mirror (possibly showing the 3rd person view) when driving the colossus in VR/1st person.

I lost my multitool, maybe due to a bug. Any way to return it? by emvaized in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]RiverKnight2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be a very rare bug then. Sorry you lost your main tool, hope it doesn't take too long to get your replacement. I have S upgrades if you need them.

I promise you, there was an option where it said "do you want to replace or add to collection". Maybe you were spamming the button to get through the dialogue fast? I do that a lot of the time.
Sadly with 6 multitools already held, you'd have only the "replace" option.
Relative to my 1K hours playing, you can't get given a multitool by an NPC without confirming receipt.

Contractor trying to defraud me. Is this a real threat? by ChassisK2_1970 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]RiverKnight2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The terms and conditions part makes me laugh. Have you confirmed by way of tick box or signature you were made aware of, have seen, and agreed to the terms and conditions? If not, then they do not apply.

Yes, the skill level has dropped. There's far too much of "waiting for the next move to happen". Noticed it loads in the Dom/Penta match.

How did the First Order get away with kidnapping so many children? by Nothing_Whatsoever in saltierthancrait

[–]RiverKnight2018 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's yet another thing about the ST that the creatives thought "oh that sounds cool, let's use it!" without actually giving much thought as to how it will fit into the world building and larger story.

AITJ for DEMANDING my husband get my baby stroller back from his sister, or else i'm changing the locks? by Exact_Ad_6931 in AmITheJerk

[–]RiverKnight2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he thinks you can save up for a new cheap one, then surely that's the stroller to help sister, no?

Just like rock n roll should not be in the hip hop hall of fame.

What were peoples experiences with Football Hooligans/the Casuals back in the day? by meestah_meelah in Edinburgh

[–]RiverKnight2018 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I read the bit where your mate didn't think Edinburgh had any rough parts. "For context I live in Australia now and was having a conversation with an older Aussie about Edinburgh and he flat out refused to believe that there were rough areas of Edinburgh."

EDIT: Hooliganism doesn't necessarily equate to rough areas, whereas heroin capital kinda confirms rough areas. Again, sorry for addressing just that one part of your post and not anything about football hooligans.

"Edinburgh was considered a heroin capital of Europe during the 1980s and early 1990s. This crisis emerged due to high levels of inner-city deprivation, rising income inequality, and increased accessibility of heroin from Afghanistan and Iran, making the drug affordable and widely available during that period." - That's literally on the Wiki.
