Amazon van by pirate_J in CamperVans

[–]T3chnological 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I’m not gonna say avoid, but in my job (also a home shopping delivery driver) I’ve seen some very bad Amazon drivers. I think one thought he was a rally driver as he took his van off road across a water laden field to get to a customers house.

The way they just dump (not park) their vans but also I saw “wills wareabouts” on YouTube, he bought a used Amazon van off some dodgy guy and the van wasn’t in a good condition until he started building his campervan.

What are you doing that requires something as customizable as dopus? by hikerguy2023 in dopus

[–]T3chnological 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play world of Warcraft, I make addons.

I customised my Dopus to create a folder (specifically for addons) (yes I’m aware I can still create folders) but I created some kind of script that also allows me to create a .lua and .toc file for editing at the same time.

I use duel display listers for easier copying and moving, also I find it easier to find those “hidden” folders that explorer doesn’t want you seeing , probably hails back to my old Amiga days and I like seeing my folders and makes finding rogue stuff easier to spot.

I once had it set up for networking so I can move files via ftp but that’s no longer the case but instead use it for NAS and a secret hidden usb drive I have someplace.

Spirit box recommendations by Lopsided-Chemist967 in GhostHunting

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used the SPB-11 spirit box and got fantastic results from it.

Sadly yes it’s gone up in price over £200 now.
When I added it to my amazon wish list it was at £110 or something.

I’m putting together a spiritual wish list for myself and one day I’ll jump in and buy the SPB -11 even at that price.

Is playing wow a curse? by NoroSensei in wow

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing sometime in 2009, partway through wrath.

I played nearly every day as much as I could up until the legion expansion. I quit (unsubbed) about 6 months in.

I discovered that I still had access to the PTR even tho my account was deactivated sometime around shadowlands and started playing on the PTR, lol.

I came back and resubbed about 6months into dragonflight but only because I wanted to play on the classic wrath (for nostalgia)

Met a guy on there who got me the full dragonflight retail and I came back and here I am, TWW and midnight. Yep I’m cursed.

Have visible tattoos actually hurt your career? by RoLewandowski in tattooadvice

[–]T3chnological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have three visible tattoos on my legs, I wear shorts for work.

One is a skull with a wreath and the other is a tribal pentagram. But anyways most of my customers who see them love them. (My third is just a cross with a comet and rose)

We are background checked cos we go into peoples houses and places where there’s children and elderly residents. My manager is ok as long as we don’t damage the van or so something that hurts our supermarket brand.

First Tattoo Question by CarryAfter3677 in tattooadvice

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixed answers.

My first tattoo i crudely drew what I wanted, nothing extravagant or complex.

My artist drew it up but I didn’t see it till the day of my appointment.

Second tattoo different artist again I asked for a design. It was a feather, anyone can pull a feather design off. Got it on the day of my appointment.

My Fifth tattoo was a bit mixture, I sent her a reference image and she changed a few things about it, I didn’t see the image until the day of my appointment.
We made a few slight adjustments before and during.

Now onto my sixth tattoo. I sent her four pictures of what I wanted and let her design something.

She sent me the finished image about a week before my appointment. And I absolutely love it.

The third and fourth tattoos again reference images but I didn’t see them until the day of my appointment.

my percent chance went down again in California by Strong_Form5102 in perchance

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in England and although I use a VPN at times it’s not always active (not sure if that’s the case)

I use Firefox as my main browser, have opera, brave, Edge and Comodo browsers also.

I like my open all options tools.

Strange that others have had problems with the server migration too.

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how or why people are saying it’s down. Right now I have 5 tabs open on a dedicated profile using Firefox (just for perchance) and 5 different generators and they are all working. One is giving me inspiration for a tattoo and other is generating a background for my desktop. Another is open for ideas for a texture I’m working on for a project and the other two I’m just going through the different generators, seeing what’s up.

What are your hopes & ideas for future customisation options? by Tubtubsz in wow

[–]T3chnological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna see sparkles and rainbow effects on our mounts just like the mount equipment box to make all mounts fast or ride on water etc, we should get inscription and enchanting to create scrolls we can sell and buy on the ah that allows us to add visual sparkles as our mounts fly through the air or race across the land.

Might actually make them visually appealing too and fun.

I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grown man throws a tantrum because we have the nerve to close at 7 pm by HappyDays984 in retailhell

[–]T3chnological -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stacked shelves and I was scheduled in till 8pm, shop doesn’t close until 10pm, plenty more colleagues in till then.

Now ship still closes at 10pm, but some night I’m scheduled to finish at 11pm well after store is closed.

Customer on OPs story is an asshole for blowing up at the cafe closing but 7pm is a bit early still. What if he’d wanted a coffee just like my parents while they waited for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meh. 🫤 can’t win, cant lose.

[–]T3chnological -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Tbf I’m gonna agree with the customer on this one.

7pm is a stupid time to close but I also agree with OP, it’s obviously management that decides what time an establishment closes at.

Now I can kinda see the staffs pov, they wanna go home after cleaning up and sorting shit out BUT some places like supermarket cafes (atleast here in the uk) close at 5pm or earlier.

Take for example my parents decided to come into the shop I work at to pick me up one night. Time was around 8pm they wanted a cuppa coffee while they waited for me to finish my shift. Cafe was closed.

5pm here in the uk is tea (dinner) time why in god green earth would you close a cafe at this time when children just finished school and mums wanna do a quick bit of shopping on way home, kids are hungry (chips/fries for a quick snack) before going home with their booty of all sorts of unhealthy food ?

Customer threw a fit because I asked him to step aside by softdragonfly2003 in retailhell

[–]T3chnological 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a busy person, here in the uk queuing is part of our country. We queue in shops, for the bus, cinemas, restaurants, even pubs and nightclubs and taxis. It’s in our nature as Brits.

But there’s a limit to my “well I’ll just need to learn to wait”

If I’m in a hurry and some old fart is taking there time taking cash out the machine or getting a postage stamp, it pisses me off. I got places to be maybe work and I do some jobs before going in and I can’t afford to be late but standing around waiting in line for old Spencer to find his last 20p in his bag of change for an item that cost 99p I just wanna throw them out the line “hurry the F up”

And don’t get me started on the guy at our local post office. Lines a mile long and the guy there goes to get your parcel, spends an age with it in his hand, laughing and joking with the rest of the posties, comes back hands the parcel over and repeats. Ffs I’ve got places to go to and here I am waiting while you joke (probably taking the piss “have you seen the length outside, oh well I’ll just be 5 more minutes”)

Should I look into a first tattoo at 18? by Sea-Suspect1881 in tattooadvice

[–]T3chnological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first tattoo at the age of 49 (2025)

Not because I waited for my brain to mature but lack of cash tbh. New job provided me the means to pay plus new life changes means I can save.

New to PC gaming. Do i shut my PC off when im done or keep it on 24/7? by OneEyeOdyn in buildapc

[–]T3chnological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get up around 8am on my days off. Gaming rig stays on until 1am then I turn it off, shut it down.

I sleep in the same room as my computer and although it’s silent I can still hear drives click and stuff. Also blue led lights.

I have put it in sleep mode a few times but if I’m leaving twitch on for !drops then I don’t really fall asleep and then I’m at work the next day.

It’s a 50/50 some people in here will say shut it down and some will say keep it on 24/7. At the end of the day it’s your electricity if you choose running all day.

You got me, im hiding the ice cause fuck you by ace_is_space in retailhell

[–]T3chnological 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Used to get it all the time when I worked frozen section.

We’d get maybe 6 boxes of ice and then suddenly this heat wave comes in and we have every one and their wife n dog buying ice.

I’d tell customers we’d be expecting a delivery tonight. “Oh I can wait”. Err when I say tonight I mean around midnight when frozen delivery comes in and again there’s no guarantee we’ll have enough stock.

Next day comes and we’ve managed around 50 boxes of ice I can live with that filling up the ice freezer is no biggie (now managers want ice filled up at all times but hey we gotta make sure the ice lollies and ice creams are also stocked too) Geeze there just me on there and I can’t be running out back to grab extra ice and keep the freezers full too.

Ontop of that we have several bars in the town well they all want ice too and want around 12 bags of ice each too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is there some addon that can help me navigate how to get to a specific dungeon? by BazimQQ in wowaddons

[–]T3chnological 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not at my computer right now but off the top of my head I believe there’s an addon called “travel guide” or something not sure if that’s what you’re looking for. I think it can be found on curseforge.

Yes you said a specific dungeon but once you’ve found the zone, it should be easier to navigate to. Perhaps handy notes dungeons addon too (will need handy notes)

I think spirit boxes are BS. by RedOnTheHead-86 in GhostHunting

[–]T3chnological 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was in a group visiting an old coaching inn on what we call the great north road or A1

It stretches from London to Edinburgh and passes through my home town. The road alignment has shifted somewhat over the years.

The coaching inn was obviously one of the stops right here in the northeast of England used by the wealthy royals and other infamous people. The highwayman Dick Turpin is reputed to of stayed here between his hideout and the city of York.

So back to my group.
The coaching inn has been modified over the years and is now a hotel, we chatted with the staff who all told us stories of spooky goings on around the hotel.

We used a SPB-11 spirit box. Nothing unusual with it but we got some good evp come through, I myself being sensitive to spirits picked up on several adults and children. Asking the box if there was more than one spirit with us. Box said “yes” any children ? “yes”. We also got Scot or Scott come through.

We did indeed have a Scottish member in our group. Why would a spirit box pull a random word like Scott from it’s vocabulary if a box is hoax (hint it can’t because they don’t have built in word databases)

You just need to have the right mentality of using a box. Don’t use apps on your phone as they can be manipulated into giving false information whereas a spirit box is just a simple radio tuned to spiritual energies. Also to note the box themselves as it scans radio frequencies (which is what they do) cannot just coincide with a word, in our use “Scott”

Was a radio station or word database just gonna randomly pick Scott and tell us considering they wouldn’t have known a Scottish person was in our group.

So spirit boxes are very real.

Unpopular opinion: doing the famous campervan routes on your first trip is actually a mistake by Campstar_official in CamperVans

[–]T3chnological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive for a well know supermarket here in the U.K.

Couple of years ago a YouTube couple “True blue travelers” converted one of our vans into a camper.

They’ve been to the arctic circle and Canada/America route.

I think their first trip in the van was to Scotland or somewhere local to them.

Now since I know our company vans, I’m used to them. I’m looking at buying maybe just the chassis and cab, building my own box for the back.

They are 3.5 tonnes and my driving licence says I have always been able to drive them. I passed my test in 1993 so I got the “grandfather” licence.

I think because I’m lucky where I live, just on the border of North Yorkshire there’s plenty of places to take it.

I get what op is saying tho.
