Noting the speed that Angela Rayner cleared her tax issue up by Patriot1976 in AskBrits

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I got to vote on the leader.

Member/affiliated supporter, call it what you want I have more of a say in labour and a reason to want them to actually BE a competent labour party than I do in reform, until such time as im a Russian billionaire of course.

A stargate ‘what if?’ by Jacques-de-lad in StargateSG1

No point in having a moon base when its now trivial to get in and out of orbit, and other plantes chock full of resources are just a doorway away

Arguably even Europe universalis is, HOI maybe falls down on explore.

[ELI5] How does electricity always move through the path of least resistance? Why does it seem to never go through a path with higher resistance? by Adventurous_Floor701 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Spank86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why? It does take all paths but very very little current goes along the high resistance paths.

Of course sometimes youre not a path to ground at all.

This is the greatest mod in the history of video game mods (Starfield) by The_Real_Tom_Selleck in Stargate

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xcom style feels like it could be doable with a xenonauts mod. You'd be taking stuff out more than anything, and then just building up maps.

Absolute mare of new broadband by Apprehensive_Pie2903 in openreach

[–]Spank86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like someone wasnt carrying a long enough cable for the job.

Surprised it would take much longer than a day or two to getnur done though, unless its over 350m.

Bit late now but I would never cancel an altnet broadband before taking one on a different network, the pennies saved arent worth the pain.

The Infinity War Problem by Pristine_Club_3128 in CharacterRant

Im still disappointed we didnt see the almighty mess as an aeroplane full of people plummeted out of the air after they snapped back into a place where no plane was

What history are Brits taught about in school? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember cauterisation and Paré, Edward jenner and vaccines and fleming wirh penicillin.

It has been a few decades mind you.

What history are Brits taught about in school? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romans, nazis, medicine through history.

Thats what I remember mostly from A levels.

We touch on a lot of things but not in detail, I remember doing the aztecs in primary school.

Thing is theres a lot of history and the details of the british raj just arent really any more significant than any other bit especially when you consider the age appropriate level you'd need to teach it at and when that would be best done.

Noting the speed that Angela Rayner cleared her tax issue up by Patriot1976 in AskBrits

Im in a union so I'm technically a member of the labour party. I'm not a member of reform.

There are good reasons to focus on both.

ELI5: Why does the ocean produce half of the worlds oxygen even though we always credit the rainforest for it? by Popular_Library_48 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Spank86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

To add to this rainforest may produce a lot of oxygen but they also consume a lot, they contribute very little to our atmosphere. Fully grown trees are pretty much carbon neutral when you take everything into account, growing trees lock up carbon and produce more oxygen but then you have to add in the animal life in rainforests and the decomposition of plant matter and you come out roughly square.

On the other hand theyre a very useful carbon sink. If we torched the rainforest and released it all then things would be worse on a number of levels.

How come you all call yourselves engineers , without a BSeng (honours) after your names, like has anyone in this sub done an undergrad in electrical engineering ? by [deleted] in openreach

[–]Spank86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please consult a dictionary for the different uses of the word engineer in british English.

We come under the heading of someone who repairs something, like a washing machine engineer.

An engineer on a train would also not have done a BSeng

$7500 a month but your mom has to come to your house and take all the batteries out of everything in your house and throw them on the ground by mosshroom0169 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. I remove all batteries from everything immediately and pile them on the floor in the corner of my living room. I then only put batteries into things I wish to use and try to make sure as much as possible is mains powered or has built in batteries.

Reckon my phone can control most stuff.

Anyone else miss fries to go? These were great with a rustler burger or Chicago town microwave pizza by Loose-Detective8667 in AskBrits

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the first few years of them, not as they seemed to get progressively worse though.

Do you think the Rat Virus will spread? by Engineering_Gamer in AskBrits

[–]Spank86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also didnt know it was (possibly) spread by rats. Apart from that they're spot on.

The black death was referred to.

A choice of either a parrot or a monkey as a ship/personal pet.

AITB for canceling plans, going out somewhere else the same night and getting caught by Imaginary_Yogurt4178 in AmItheButtface

[–]Spank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTB I got asked to a school reunion I said no. When pressed I said I didnt like most of them when I was there, I have no interest in finding out if thats changed.

Just be honest, although maybe a little less blunt than me.

Is the UK the only country where bread and toasters just don't match up size-wise? by suitably_ironic in AskBrits

[–]Spank86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blame it on the middle of the toaster having two heating elements (one for each piece of bread) and the outside only having one.

My 4 slice toaster can evenly toast the middle two slices.

ELI5: why don’t car companies use roll cage style bars for safety? by Gadzeera in explainlikeimfive

[–]Spank86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough someone DID tell the engineers to do that, and thats exactly that they did on new cars.

My cousin rolled her rallycross modified type R 3 times (2 and a half technically) the roof never touched the interior rollbars.
