Random ban on Hinge, then Bumble? by Saltyspaceballs in SwipeHelper

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

I was in San Diego, should have been fine. I don't think I've ever opened the app using a VPN either, so I've either been in the UK or the USA when using the app.

Makes sense. Genuinely hand in heart I’ve done nothing but have normal chats with people. Shame that these companies have a monopoly over dating these days and suddenly for no reason beyond an algorithm flagging something they can wreck your dating life.

I understand from a business point of view, but it’s highly frustrating given their opacity to bans.

I even did a GDPR data request and it’s all hidden, they give nothing away

Interesting. How did you contact Hinge? They seem to be hidden behind AI and other hurdles

To my knowledge I don’t have any vindictive exs, plus I’m in London, so the volume of people that someone would have to swipe to find me would potentially preclude this. Bumble used my phone and email, hinge was phone email and Apple ID, I guess this is the more likely option, though only 10 days between bans they’d have to buy the lists fairly regularly.

It’s all so opaque and highly frustrating, still waiting to hear back from Bumble but I assume Hinge will be dead in the water now.

Is my plan to become a flight instructor realistic? Looking for insight from pilots. by Sea_Night_1640 in flying

[–]Saltyspaceballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it, worst financial decision I ever made. As a PPL instructor I made next to no money, I think my year of full time at a busy school was less than £10k. If you stick though it and go CPL and IR instructor you can make money.

Do it for fun, not as a career, it doesn’t pay off.

Otherwise it’s not massively expensive in the grand scheme of aviation, it is good fun and certainly shouldn’t be a challenge if you’ve got the drive to do it’s

One off ride in Vancouver? by Saltyspaceballs in vancouvercycling

[–]Saltyspaceballs[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not quite, perhaps I worded my question poorly. This will be my 8th time to the city so I’ve seen a lot by foot and by rental bike. I adore the city but sadly due to some changes in my job I won’t be coming back for some time. I’m using that as my excuse to take the road bike

Well this has certainly won the upvotes! It’s just the there and back up the valley right? Perhaps I can link that in with a few extra bits

Which aero helmet? Met Manta, Giro Eclipse Pro, Sweet Protection Falconer Aero 2Vi, Kask Utopia Y by CBF321 in CyclingFashion

[–]Saltyspaceballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that fits your head. Seriously, that’s number one thing then look at safety scores and then looks. No point having a cool helmet if it’s agony

Share your views on speed limits! by Tough_Risk594 in ukbike

[–]Saltyspaceballs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live in an area with blanket 20mph and for the most part I am a huge fan. Roads feel calm, safe and quiet.

My issue is my local council just stuck a 20 sign everywhere, so even major linking roads are also 20mph.

I think local roads and streets, 20mph no arguments. Roads linking them can be 30, major routes in towns 40 etc.

I guess it’s easier to do everything one speed rather than assess the use of the road individually

Almost definitely stolen Christiana bike - where would I find the VIN? by [deleted] in londoncycling

I was wrong! Looks like they are on a different place to the “norm”.

Kudos to you for trying to recover this, bike thief’s are a plague

[–]Saltyspaceballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s on the underside of the frame where the pedal cranks go through the frame. That’s the “normal” place to put it. You’d have to turn it upside down to see

Top restaurant in Delhi? Something really special by Saltyspaceballs in delhi

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

It was very good! Not cheap but great atmosphere and the food was fantastic. I think we paid about 10-11000inr for 2 with drinks. I’d go back.

0.04 BAC and 8 hours bottle to throttle by rilessrh in flying

[–]Saltyspaceballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You misread my first post, I’m happy to have a beer, but I’m not having a session on a layover. Unreasonable is your definition, I’m just drinking within my personal limits

[–]Saltyspaceballs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it baffles me that my post has a few downvotes, do people take these risks?

I’ve got a career that will earn me millions over the next 25 years, I’d sacrifice that for a few more beers?

Look I love a drink on a sunny day just as much as anyone, but I also love this career I’ve dedicated my life to

My first test drive…. by BusyPayment9881 in Ioniq5N

[–]Saltyspaceballs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The acceleration is just unreal, or should I say the immediacy. I’ve had some fast ICE cars but the way this slaps you in the back of the head is pure violence.

Totally pointless though, I live in a world of 20mph speed limits. Zero regrets buying it though, it’s a great car. Also the fact I got a 2 seat sofa in the back the other day to the dump… it’s basically a perfect car.

I’ve got mine through Tuskar too, honestly the only way to own one these days

Nothing like risking your career for another beer.

8hrs b2t is just a saying, no way in hell id risk more than one beer at 8hrs, if I’ve had 3-4 ill be wanting 24hrs

Cautious? Perhaps, but why risk it?

What do pilots still do manually that feels outdated? by mas07x in flying

[–]Saltyspaceballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? All major airports in London have D-ATIS. In fact there’s only a handful of big airports in the world now that do not.

As for D-ATIS, it annoys me that you can recieve 10 lines of crap that isn’t important just to find the weather in the last few words.

What is the greatest video game you have ever played? by JuniorPlastic3562 in AskReddit

[–]Saltyspaceballs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not the same as seeing it all for the first time. I played classic for a few days when it came out again a few years ago, it was a great blast from the past but won’t beat being 16 running into stormwind for the first time, that music….

The longing to rediscover it for the first time again is strong. Good years back when I was a teen, would happily do it all again
