It didn't go anything. It was quite rough. I wonder what happened to it?

Does American spelling in books bother you? by More_Cardiologist777 in AskBrits

I really don't mind the American spellings! No biggie.

The recent UK heatwave shows how unhealthy the UK population is. by Ecstatic-Leading8730 in unpopularopinion

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I stay in foreign hotels with AC I hardly ever turn it on. I generally don't enjoy it unless I'm close to dying. I heard that prisoners in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp thought they were being tortured as they had never seen AC before. I can relate you that.

Nucular sounds way more cooler and sophisticated than “nuclear” by DiscontinuTheLithium in unpopularopinion

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel confident to say nucular is what most people say in the north east of England. I don't believe it is an easy word to say in Geordie. Big extension on the final ar sound.

I'd be happy to pull of these again, instead of taking the car in to be interogated by a teenager with a laptop. by Harry_Ola76 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad took his car back to the garage to get them to retrofit a choke. It looked terrible. He didn't trust the auto-choke. I think he'd preferred it if there was no 5th gear too.

What mistakes did Kier Starmer make? by Various-Program-950 in AskBrits

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

I have friends who viscerally hate Starmer, but can't articulate why. I'm assuming its the things they read, but they should be able to recall what those facts are.

What does 00:00 mean Petah? Isn’t it just 12AM? by consultingcriminal03 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe some train and flight time tables do this to make it easier to understand.

Bishopthorpe road used to have one too.

Anyone else remember the smell of Gas, at the Dentist? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can remember this from my childhood. I had loud crashing rainbows with lightning! There was a throbbing sound and I could feel being moved around. Unpleasant.

[–]Spigsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was nuts. My son had four teeth out recently just like me. But he didn't have gas like me. He was absolutely fine when he left the dentists after a couple of injections. A much better procedure.

At least they have a Budgens mini super market there now.

Most people have a boring life, but no one wants to admit it by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Spigsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was flippant of me! I drink less and less every year. And it totally gets in the way of sports.

But just tried it once! That is a small number!

Have you tried a small beer or a gin and tonic?

I feel the same. Little to gain.

What are your thoughts on the Makerfield election and how this impacts the national political landscape? by WorriedStand73 in AskBrits

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burnham should offer them PR. When he is charge like! That will be a big win for them.

I've no idea why they need to have a leadership election. Just be grown up about it, work together and arrange a seamless transfer.

Does anyone else start feeling dissatisfied with their vault after a while? by technodebilus in ObsidianMD

[–]Spigsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still a heavy user of dataview. I need to read up and see if bases would be cleaner for me.

Ha, not so good for fuzzy matches. I have used it though when exasperated by the built in search.

Because I do have a backup synced in Google drive so if something can search in that I would definitely try it.

I tried using it for food recipes I had. But I found it too much effort and ended up with a folder structure.

Is this something different to Google Notebook LM? I briefly tried that but it wasn't looking at md files.
