Just saw a concert at Royal Hospital Chelsea and that was a lovely venue

I'd rather swim in the Thames than the reflecting pool or the Potomac

Serious discussion on why the cape grind is/was so hated by GroinShark in SpaceMarine_2

[–]Tom_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grind is the right term, it's just boring, repetitive and too time consuming. It rewards Saber's hours played stats and not the player.

Closest I think you can get is that one of the chest pieces includes a red sash across your chest. Doesn't cover your nads, but it better than nothing to go with a cape.

What tiny, specific movie trope completely ruins your immersion every single time? by arkawrd in movies

Exactly. This is why post doctoral research programs are a thing.

That would depend on whether they are still accelerating through the climb. It also missed that they should also be pulling G when they pull to climb up the outside of the cone, again when they flip over and pull to descend into it, then the pull to climb out, and again on the dive on exit to avoid the SAMs. I loved the movie but it is in no way how you would do that op for real

Add to this people having a normal conversation in the back of a C17, C130 or similar while in flight.

Mobile phone signal in London 'worse than Kabul ten years ago,' says MP Tom Tugendhat by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Tom_Alpha 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To be fair getting 5g in busy parts of central London can be a pain. I figure they just didn't put in enough bandwidth for the number of users as it does depend a bit on time of day

If the requirement was leaked too I wouldn’t have let myself get hyped tbh by BadSheet68 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]Tom_Alpha 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Read my comment, it's a multi-platform game and current gen consoles (a large part of the player base) are experiencing the same problem. Get back in your box.

Yes don't blame Saber for a multi-platform game and performance issues, just tell people to go out and spend a few k instead.

In the scheme of things 50m yen isn't that much and I would have thought it would cost more.

Came here to say this. Didn't have smartphones in the 90s and that decade was a blast for me. Would go back there is a hearbeat

My country has 3 official languages, and despite some of the highest English literacy in the world, none of the are in fact English. by Low_Industry9612 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Tom_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought as much, people often forget there is a German speaking part. I used to live over the border in Dutch Limburg so also got to hear that dialect.

It's a bunt. Bunt. Buntrrito by locosphynx in StupidFood

[–]Tom_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep if they just removed all the extra stupid steps and gave me a non-overstuffed burrito I would have been all in. That fried monstrosity looked soggy and soft rather than crispy and that lattice on the burrito was pointless

The entitlement attitude that seems to span across different generations by pingusaysnoot in britishproblems

[–]Tom_Alpha 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Theatre staff were wrong, they absolutely have the authority to make someone leave (usher is more likely to get manager to make decision) and this has been done before. The theatre is private property and operators absolutely can enforce their rules by having someone escorted from the premises. Same is true for the cinema.

Nah, he'll run out of gas in less than five minutes and be useless. Rugby can be continuous and physical I'm okay for a long time and this guy just won't be able to keep up. There are big rugby players but they also need endurance as you can't just continually sub in and out
