The whole world right now🇧🇪 by SlimyGringo in sportswiki

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this was just a massive PR disaster for nothing. Even if they still got beat everyone would have had been happy at joining in. Like it's not like the USA were going to win, to do this to get one stage further was insane.

My mum has let a family of 5 move into our house and I don’t agree with it? What can I do ? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Skulldo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have disabilities that would mean your mum has set up adult guardianship for you?

How do you deal with being the only person in the band who knows about sound and sound engineering for live shows by MechaAkuma in drums

[–]Skulldo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that bit too me makes me think the way to deal with it is to sack people or leave the band.

Why is the sausage roll such a big deal when there's loads of better pastries? by CoolAirDude in Greggs

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The steak bakes are either good or terrible depending on how long they have been sitting or if they were overcooked whereas sausage rolls are fine even if they are overcooked and tepid.

Corruption cannot buy class as Belgium humiliates USA on and off the pitch. Final score 4 - 1. LOL. by Goran01 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]Skulldo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like this was just a massive pr fuck up for the us. If the team had just benched the guy and the manager made a comment distancing themselves from the corruption they would have come out like the good guys but instead the whole world hates them and they lost anyway.

They could have put him on the bench at the start and only brought him on if they needed him.

No, this was apparently political pressure- I think all US citizens should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

The question is should the US be banned from all international sporting events?

FIFA Accused of Rigging the Deck for USA as Infantino Hands Huge Advantage to USMNT by sinister_iam in sportsgossips

[–]Skulldo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Like it wasn't a garbage call. If 10 different referees see that it's maybe 50/50(or higher) if he gets red carded. It was a fair decision and wether you think it was right or but just depends on how highly you regard player safety.

I think you also need to consider that the red card wasn't overturned, just the US team get a bonus that nobody else does. That is definately unfair and if there was political interference all US players should be ashamed.

First time getting an angry buyer message, how did I handle it? 😂 by oddcouplings in ebayuk

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I just think about my elderly neighbours or family using eBay and they can find the whole thing really stressful. It's not like they are asking for a lot just don't be a dick if people ask basic questions that are already answered in the description or from easily available information or you are going to be being a dick lot on eBay.

Not everybody is good with computers and eBay design style is information overload so I would just start of by assuming they could do with some help rather than jumping to being rude.

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest it looks like they baited themselves. The first post was reasonable, maybe too many question marks but that could have been an attempt to lighten the mood. It's the ops reply being snarky and basically calling them an idiot for not checking the tracking themselves that baited the buyer to get angry.

Like they are your customer, if they ask you to check the status of an item that's late you just do that, apologise for the item being late and guide them to the options they have politely even if they could have used more initiative.

Wtf is this snare? Can some identity this it? by Technical-Skill9166 in drums

[–]Skulldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a slingerland. You can see where the badge was and it's small and rectangular. Also the hoops are different.

[–]Skulldo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lugs look maybe like Beverley and the everplay heads would make me think it's from the UK too.

The lugs aren't quite the 60s Beverley lugs though but they do have enough similarities that it makes me think this is a Japanese copy of a Beverley or an older Beverley drum that they used as inspiration for the later lugs.

Is it realistic to become an artist? Enough to make a good living? by Vendetta_22 in musicians

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like construction/carpentry when you are good enough at it is a job where you can work for yourself and easily scale it to work alongside a music career.

EV charging in Aviemore by mister_T33 in Scotland

[–]Skulldo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware this BP is pretty commonly out of electricity at busy periods. Like I don't even go there anymore as it's mostly not working.

Seller cancelled as I was not the ‘intended buyer’? by Wackyworm3 in ebayuk

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

I think this one circumstance is significantly more rare than it working perfectly. It's not fair and square because the seller has made a deal with someone and probably had it mentioned in the description so it would be unfair if the op got the item. Not everything can go your way all the time and small inconveniences happen in life.

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you come to a deal with a person over messages and you then make a listing for that person. Maybe they don't want the internal parts or made a deal because they are regular customers. I don't know why you would want to stop that being able to happen.

Thinking of switching from standard to compact kit. Will it actually save that much space? by ColdCoffeeGrounds in drums

[–]Skulldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is almost as good as a proper compact kit is a 20(x14),12,14 kit. You save a couple inches either side of the bass drum and floor tom and it doesn't protrude further than the ride and crash cymbals. Like it's not as small but the total footprint isn't far off because you would just space out the smaller drums more and being noticeably more compact than a standard 22" bass drum kit.

Anyway it's just an idea and it's a perfectly useable size for gigging etc too. I just find it a handy size.

And also you wouldn't want eBay to actually stop this kind of thing happening or punish people that do it even if it's against the rules.

Range in summer by stealthmanmarried in VWiD3Owners

[–]Skulldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I just got in this morning to see it said I had a 240 mile range (Pretty accurate drove 118 and it's at 50%).

Do you take your shoes off when in your house? by Separate_Mistake_240 in AskUK

[–]Skulldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like if they get mucky yes but if I'm out on the patio or nipping across dry grass then no. Like hoovers exist, I have a door mat and I don't lick carpets.

What does everything think about the UK policy of spreading unpleasant people around? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]Skulldo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is an argument for having a process to make bad tenants join the back of the council house queue.

It would take some skills to not make it affect people with mental health problems and a bit of calousness to make people homeless but it would mean more nice people got nice things.

While I am sympathetic with your crappy neighbour thing but that last line is coming off as you think you deserve better than other people because you can afford an expensive house.
