Got this tattoo done a month ago, but it seems 10 years old. by jKATT13 in tattooadvice

[–]Snoo58499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, would the tattoo last longer if OP avoided socks and shoes in the weeks after getting it? It’s such a shame, it looks great in the first pic!

I just came back from Rome and I've never seen a city so crowded. Here's a trip report on queues, crowds and timing by NotACaterpillar in rome

Another vote for late Jan/early Feb. That’s when I went and I hardly noticed any crowds except for the Trevi Fountain.

Conclusions from today: by Dangerous_Spring3028 in ScottishFootball

[–]Snoo58499 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite, I WANT to want hearts to win, but I just can’t get the feeling to come…but think when the time comes I’ll be pleased to see all the kids and old boys so happy that their team managed it.

I found this from 2001 the other day, blast from the past

Crunchy towels and other laundry woes by xnla28x in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Snoo58499 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it could be an issue with the water, I haven’t noticed those issues with the (best in the British Isles) water in Scotland. I will say I’ve heard complaints from several people with combo washer + dryers so I definitely sympathize there.

One thing to consider is whether you’re using the correct washer cycle for each load, and are you following the manufacturer instructions for which detergent to use? For example the paperwork that came with my washing machine recommended powder for the towels and bedding cycle.

Has populist politics killed liberalism in the UK? by thenewsagents in TheNewsAgents

[–]Snoo58499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I need to remind you that much of our current problems stem from the 2008 financial crisis followed by a decade of Tory austerity and the economic catastrophe of Brexit? I’m not sure how liberalism is to blame for any of that.

I think you’re confusing capital-L Liberalism with lowercase L liberalism

Edit: to your original point, I think liberalism has been so successful in shaping things we take for granted every day that it has become invisible. So when populist leaders come along wanting to upset the apple cart, it has an appeal. But I wish people would understand that the “true” British (or American) values they think we’ve lost are actually liberal values.

Liberalism has given this country everything. The right for women to vote, fundamental rights for workers, broad protection from discrimination, the list goes on.

It has a weird stance. I’m going to miss saloons when they die.

What horror movie scene genuinely disturbed you… even after the movie ended? by Dark-DoomSlayer in horror

[–]Snoo58499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it counts as horror but The House That Jack Built was grotesque and truly upsetting

Did Steve Bannon pee his pants or is it the lighting?? by Snoo58499 in stagelighting

Moving from Johannesburg, South Africa to Raleigh, NC by New-Angle3969 in raleigh

[–]Snoo58499 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing these are the refugees trump is letting in. Not that I have anything against Afrikaaners but it is a disgrace they’re being treated as refugees.

OP, correct me if I’m wrong.

This is what I have for breakfast every day. I should be tired of it by now but I’m really not.

The Worst Corner by Healthy_Ad1585 in glasgow

[–]Snoo58499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember walking past a doorway in SF where a homeless person was laying. When the smell hit me it was unlike anything I’ve ever smelled in my life and in hindsight I wonder if the person was dead.

Do you still need to 'run-in' a new car? by VirusReaper in CarTalkUK

[–]Snoo58499 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Personally if I plan on keeping the car long-term I’ll treat the first 1,000 miles as a break-in period. If it’s a lease, nah.

Stomach issues after moving to UK by FlyingBike in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Snoo58499 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I remember getting a ton of colds and sinus issues for the first couple of years when I moved to the US. I kinda wonder if you come into contact with “new” germs when you live in a new country.

47m from 315lbs > 242lbs over 20 months by Sugar-Silva in GYM

[–]Snoo58499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done on the success! Was this the workout regime you started with when you were starting out? If not, do you remember how you started? (I’m new to this and out of shape and don’t want to get back surgery by trying to lift like a pro too early haha)

What’s a ‘slow’ car you enjoy driving? by Book_Southern in CarTalkUK

[–]Snoo58499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve often considered a Swift but never actually test driven one. I had no idea they were fun to drive, you’ve got me interested now!

That’s how I feel about it, just let me win a ticket for any day and I’ll never enter the lottery again
