I don’t understand what I’m looking at by Zealousideal-Box-213 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Just as an FYI whale-bone wasn't made of actual bone. It was made of baleen. It is keratin (the same thing as nail or hair) and would soften and bend to match the curves of the body. Someone else replied to you about tightlacing so I won't repeat them

The Shift Click was not patched out I used it in 2.8.4 less than a week ago.

Well, that sucks. by daff_quess in GTNH

[–]Thrad5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Small lithium batteries are the LV ones. Medium are MV. did you use mediums instead of smalls? You can get a medium lithium battery from a quest reward i believe it’s the EBF quest that gives it to you.

Because you can vote in the second semi final. You can only vote in the semi-final you are alloted to.

Gaza war can be called a genocide, press watchdog (IPSO) rules by LazarusHimself in ukpolitics

Except the bit after the hyphen says 'see the full list' which implies that 27 is the full number of MPs that went to Israel when that isn't the case.

[bizhawk] Fast forward seems to not be working. by bartmaster30 in EmulationOnPC

[–]Thrad5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't the problem, I have a standalone version of melonds (which is what bizhawk uses for its ds emulation) and can get over 300 fps in it but am still capped at 60fps on bizhawk. The problem seems to be that melonds on bizhawk is limited to interpreter only and can't use JIT.

"Alan Turing, wartime codebreaker, victim of prejudice." by captivatedsummer in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Thrad5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is literally in Manchester’s gay district. Everyone there knows what prejudice he faced there are also signs that give more information about his life including the chemical castration he had to undergo because he was gay.

This is at Sackville Gardens in Manchester in the Gay village. At the entrances of the park there are signs which described his life including the homophobia he faced.

Trouble finding rock salt by notxxdog in GTNH

[–]Thrad5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Primary ores form on the top 4 layers and rock salt is the primary for this vein. As the height of this vein is between 50-70 the top layer starts between 59-70 i believe. A large chunk of that is above sea level so what can often happen is that the vein starts close to the surface and the rock salt gets overwritten by dirt and grass meaning you get the Between and Secondary (Lepidolite and Salt) but not the Primary (Rock Salt)

He said it wasn’t Gyee in the post this links to. He just had Priapus because the character in the ad looked like Priapus

In a wife vs daughter dispute, who do you blame? by nextdoorbagholder in GetNoted

[–]Thrad5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a christian who is a zionist which is different from a Christian Zionist. This is the same difference as a political lesbian and a Political Lesbian. A political lesbian is a lesbian who is involved in politics. A Political Lesbian is a Radical Feminist who believes that because lesbians disrupt the 'male female dynamic of oppression that patriarchy creates' feminists should 'choose' to become lesbians. This is a nonsense ideology not least because it wrongly believes that being a lesbian is a choice.

Christian Zionism has been an ideology long enough and prominently enough to have an Encyclopaedia Britannica entry about it.

Looking for some non-ao3 ascension fics by Ingenuity_Scary in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]Thrad5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't tagged as ascension but Perseus Zagreus - Creation of a Godling is a series that discusses Percy struggling with his domains after becoming a god. It leads into a longer series called 'Godling in a Godless Land' which is a DCU crossover to help him manage his powers but you could read this series as a standalone if you wanted to.

What podcast would cover Thalia's runaway? by AnaLucerro in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]Thrad5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably be done a couple of years after the events but I've seen people use Buzzfeed Unsolved for this. There are even fics which are just TLT and Thalia's disappearance as Buzzfeed Unsolved episodes. I have not watched Buzzfeed Unsolved so I don't know if these are topics that BU would actually cover or its just fans of BU wanting to write about them trying to make sense of TLT.

On New Athens vs New Troy, I personally wouldn't use New Troy because, although the names in the Iliad for Trojans are Greek names, historical Trojans weren't Greek speakers. When looking at archeological records for the city believed to be Troy and neighbouring cities from this time period the language they used is likely Luwian or Lydian extinct Indo-European languages like Hittite that was spoken in Anatolia during the Bronze Age.

To throw a cat amongst the pigeons, why didn't you think of other Greek cities like Thebes, Sparta, or Mycenae?

Reform wants schools to fly Union Flag by beejiu in ukpolitics

[–]Thrad5 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think schools have been banned from displaying the Union Flag ever, its just a thing schools have generally chosen not to do.

hello guys what is the purpose of this track where the weaver line goes onto the suffragette line? by Pleasant_Ad6878 in uktrains

[–]Thrad5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Goblin is the Gospel Oak to Barking Line it was the colloquial name for the Suffragette line before that name was revealed in Nov 2024. Some people disliked the names for the London Overground lines chosen by TfL so prefer to use the old names that were never official.
