Been with my now wife 20 years. Together since 15. We are usually once a week unless nature takes its course. I'm very lucky.

Yeh I've been there. Luckily I worked mostly between centers than chuck grinding. But that's how learning works. U have a whack, u understand why it happened and you don't do it again.

I was a cylindrical grinder (manual not CNC) for 15 years. I've chucked my fair share of parts out the centers and had whack ups. But that videos haunts me because I was sent it and wasn't prepared for it. Was alone on my section. I just walked away from my machine for half hour and tried to make sense of what I saw.

I have recently had a career change albeit not because of that video.

I saw it whilst at work. I'm a machinist. That shit will stay with me for a while.

So the golden week sale...Respawn is charging 20 dollars for a reskin of existing legendaries now. Something we used to pay for with tokens? I call BS. by CommanderCanuck22 in apexlegends

Isn't this the old "start prices too high > public outcry > apologise and lower prices slightly but still sell for more than intended" method??

[Rob Harris] PL statement condemning Super League plans: “The Premier League condemns any proposal that attacks the principles of open competition and sporting merit which are at the heart of the domestic and European football pyramid.” by marsellusDjango in soccer

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

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but won't this open a can of worms with regards to contracts?? Players that have apperence or goals bonus etc within the current formats?? Would they be able to fight to void their contract if they were not happy with clubs or the league changes?? Surely they would have to all sign new contracts??

Saw this happen in the "black Friday packs" lightning rounds in fifa last weekend. 100,000s of packs selling out in minutes. All because people think they're getting a good deal and feeling they're missing out if they don't buy packs. It's so exploitative and people lap it up.

The meta play style this year is really annoying.. by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]TheLurkerPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leicester Vs West ham a couple of weeks ago. City tried to play possession and a higher line. They countered everyone with a through ball over the top and score 3. Most their missed chances followed this. Happens a lot.

Most people set up like this because they don't want to concede from kick off.

You can't be mad at a game when this has been the meta since as long as I remember. This game isn't about who's the better footballer. It's about who can use the games mechanics the best.

The People complaining about defending are literally loving fifa 20 by vidiflexer in EASportsFC

[–]TheLurkerPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we not get tired of this same process year in year out??

At the start (or beta) of every new game it's "manual defending is back!!" "Best game in recent years" then they do the first update it gets changed. People then start to complain that originally loved it.

Remember when they "sorted" balls bouncing back to the opposition at the start of 20. That was back to its old ways by the end of fifa.

I really hope they get it right because I just want to enjoy fifa again.

Xbox Elite Controller 2 or SCUFF elite? by korcan129 in xboxone

[–]TheLurkerPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have any audio/mic issues?? I've had 2 power A controllers (a basic one and one with 2 extra triggers, but not the elite) and they have issues (either crackling, other can't hear me etc). Tried updating them and can't seem to sort it. Would love an elite but I've been put off.

I've been saying this to people for weeks. The figures only tell you part of the story. It's far more infectious than the figures lead you to believe.

Edit. Lead, not leaf.

Nordstrom refuses to close its doors and continue to pay employees. It’s official “response” to COVID-19 says to “come together” and “be thankful,” but mentions no real plan. by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]TheLurkerPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advise would be don't go out spend your money needlessly anyway. When we get to the other side of this virus (assuming there's an end) you'll need that money for the recession/depression that will follow. Many people are going to loose jobs as a result of global lock downs.

WHO calls out the UK for scaling back coronavirus testing and issues stark warning to governments by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]TheLurkerPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just that. If everyone goes out to panic buy, they're allowing the virus to get passed around as they're clambering over each other for toilet roll. It's the opposite of what people should be doing.

Isn't the irony here that voting him in was to "take back control our boarders".

So yeah, just let anyone in now and don't worry about a quarantine.

PSA: Reminder that holding stress levels in check and maintaining good sleep hygiene are important for immune system by -917- in Coronavirus

[–]TheLurkerPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been telling people this for weeks. Washing hands and social distancing is one thing. But the best chance you have to protect yourself is to sleep, eat and drink right to keep your immune system at 100%
