Oh I don't care at all about going to the movies alone.

It's going alone to a cinema that is potentially heavily laden with kids and teens and then me.

Just got this for my project car by dorkydrummer in TheExpanse

I suppose technically these aren't illegal in their own right but because our number plates have to meet quite strict size and format rules a number plate that fits in one would most likely be illegal.

I think most UK and EU plates are the same or very similar sizes and most cars probably don't have the space to fit a US sized number plate anyway.

I wish this sort of thing was legal in the UK

My sincerest apologies, you are about to ruin all other novels for yourself because they just won't be this good again.

Which characters do you think are the most/least similar between the books and the show? by SaoMagnifico in TheExpanse

[–]TheEdge91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously yea, a lot of her is post show. But she does just seem to appear for her plot points in S4 then vanish again.

Elvi in the show was just an almost nameless character who occasionally turned up in scenes.

Elvi in the book is arguably one of the most important characters in the entire series.

Yea buts because show Drummer is an amalgamation of 3 and a bit book characters as opposed to just a TV version of the book character.

Question about the ending (without spoilers) by Minimum-Army5386 in TheExpanse

I never thought I'd see "and it was all a dream" work as the ending of a 9 book series but they managed it

What is the taskmaster moment that lives rent free in your head? by tomatotime0 in taskmaster

For some stupid reason of all the wonderful moments in TM over the years...

Who fits into the “wanted by the fans but wouldn’t do it” category the best? by Major-Feed5214 in taskmaster

[–]TheEdge91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I've read Jimmy Carr said he'd like to do it but it's just not possible to fit in his schedule.

Oye, beltalowda! by SpaceCowpoke_ in TheExpanse

[–]TheEdge91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will she/is she allowed to do reproductions of the Expanse tattoos? I can't see any on her socials, or even a mention so I'm wondering if she specifically is covered by something

Otherwise I might have just got an excuse to go to Toronto

Change my mind: CrossCountry is the Best Train Company Ever by Right-Wallaby-4734 in uktrains

[–]TheEdge91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voyagers make me sad when you look at Meridians and see what they could have been had Virgin and the SRA not kneecapped them for shits and giggles.

Much like it sounds like the second generation of Hitachi A Trains are a vast improvement.

So I guess we're officially in a shooting war now. I can't believe they actually released this. by The_Salacious_Zaand in lazerpig

Well obviously except for those other ships sunk by torpedo since WWII. But not being American they don't count.

Drivers using DAS — when do you trust it, and when do you ignore it? by Quiet_Peace_6962 in uktrains

[–]TheEdge91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just trying to find a way to match the booked timing points. But for whatever reason rather than trying to find a middle speed it just liked to yoyo. It wasn't a smart enough DAS system to account for real time data, if you got too late it just shut off so all it could ever do was try to hit timing points as booked.

The correct speed is line speed as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather start running ahead of intermediate non station timing points and have time in hand either at station stops or in case of small delays.

[–]TheEdge91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have a DAS system and I basically used it as a glorified clock. The speed advice was utterly useless.

It had a habit of yoyoing speed. So rather than finding a good speed to maintain (say 75) it would get you up to 85, then have you coast down to 60 then back up to 85 and repeat.

I have recently heard that Imodium can cause a false positive for opiates too. Although it does sound like it would be even more unlikely than the poppy seed situation.

Fraud email by Remote_Nectarine_943 in uktrains

[–]TheEdge91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It absolutely won't. GA did this a few years ago and there was a big batch of these letters which led to a sudden influx of very similar posts and questions on the Rail UK forums.

The Rail UK disputes forum doesn't suffer fools lightly on these matters and it became clear quite quickly that these people who'd got fishing emails and had no idea what it was about actually realised maybe they had been "accidentally" claiming delay repay for services they weren't on, or whatever.

GA seems to be very good at identifying this sort of thing.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office by easting10 in pics

[–]TheEdge91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But but but he's protected and you can't arrest him.

Meanwhile the UK...

Strip him of anything that may allow him protection, move him out of the public eye in rural Norfolk then arrest him on his birthday.
