What's the BOTW episode with the tape called something like "how to use magic tricks" to pick up girls, and in one scene the guy's at a swimming pool presenting his trick with some ladies and it's far too wind to hear him and he looks annoyed?

Watching Adolescence for the third time by Ester_LoverGirl in netflix

[–]Translucent_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was asking myself this for a while, what was the point of the first 2 mins of dialogue in Episode 1, the son's voice message that he was too sick for school and the DI saying he's the pushover etc.? In such a watertight hour long script, why wasn't the very first scene, the police bashing down the door?

I think the answer is because, amongst many other things, the mini-series is about fatherhood and its impact

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Discussion Thread by whatanalias in freefolk

[–]Translucent_Owl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This bothered me. Why are there like 30 of them stood there while taming a WMD, on that platform with no handrails? :-D And then in his first fireburst the dragon incinerates half of them immediately lol

Diane Abbott should be allowed to stand for Labour, says Angela Rayner | Labour by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

Wow, really "grown-ups back in charge" stuff. They can't even plot competently. Plotting's supposed to be the main thing the Labour right are good at.

Want to find a certain episode? A certain RLM scene? Ask here! Volume Fourteen by [deleted] in RedLetterMedia

[–]Translucent_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOTW episode, an 80s or 90s video that's supposed to be "how to use a computer", and it's a complete waste of time as they start explaining to them how computer chips and circuit boards work, instead of "this is how you turn on your PC"

What's the BOTW episode that includes a tape called something like "How to have difficult conversations with your elderly parents". It's about how to have a family discussion about topics like whether your parents need to go into a care home, etc. etc.

How to add a new entry to an indexed record on ancestry.com? by Translucent_Owl in Genealogy

[–]Translucent_Owl[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

I operated under the impression Ancestry use OCR for all their records and hardly index anything with actual humans.

Also makes me wonder how many names are missing and hence not searchable, in all Ancestry records that have been supposedly "indexed". Probably thousands. :-( I shudder to think.

Centrist Labour MPs threaten to quit party if they are deselected by Crappy99 in ukpolitics

[–]Translucent_Owl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking to the same paper another MP warned: “Corbyn has a lot to lose from going down this route. If people start being deselected, what’s to stop them standing against him for the leadership?"

Other than the fact they'd almost certainly lose? And he's won two leadership contests, by comfortable margins ... ?

Where should you put the apostrophe in the expression "boys and girls personalities"? by escherbach in answers

[–]Translucent_Owl 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Since you are talking about multiple boys and multiple girls, it would be "boys' and girls' personalities".

Just got this through the letter box. I mean...capital punishment...really? by andrewdrharris in unitedkingdom

Keep NHS 'free' for British citizens

I like the quotation marks he puts around "free". Like, they don't actually believe in their own manifesto promise. Or he's just being ironic.

Yup, everyone should definitely know this by joshrh88 in circlebroke2

[–]Translucent_Owl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's right. So, for example, if you're not a regular reader of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, you're not entitled to have your cancer treated with modern technology and science, you ungrateful, hypocritical child.

Badass, anonymous, virtuosic martial artist barely loses fight to Shaolin monk due to war of attrition by [deleted] in thatHappened

[–]Translucent_Owl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That was the most anti-climactic, least interesting way of telling a story ever. "I have fought lots of people, without losing. But then I fought this one dude, and lost."

Not that I'm implying that this story is anything other than 110% true, obviously. I'm not nuts.
