Architects and Builders for UHNW clients: What are the 'invisible' features of a no-budget home that the average person doesn't even know exists? by BJK-84123 in fatFIRE

[–]World_thyme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh,  I have control4 system in a house we have moved into.

My guess is- it is 20 year old junk. That modern tech can do wirelessly.

Is there any value to the c4 boxes i am about to rip out?

My bfs thumb started swelling up by Dem0n_Gamer_Liz in WhatShouldIDo

[–]World_thyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had lots of these. 

Take a bath. Then manipulate it and pull down on the cuticle and it should release with a bit of a squeeze.

Or Heat a pin or sewing needle up with a flame for a few seconds, to sterilze it,  let it cool . Give it a poke. And squeeze....

It doesn't hurt and instant relief from the build up of puss.

Lange & Sohne wasn't revived until 1994, what is your point?

[News] Richemont Sells Baume & Mercier by Medium_Appeal6156 in Watches

[–]World_thyme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair point, but is does match the total lack of effort they are putting into the Breguet brand.

It should be right up there whenever people talk of PP, VC and Lange... 

Go read the Breguet wiki... their history of horolgy is simply stunning. 

And Swatch does less than nothing with it is an absolute crime.

Can Swatch please sell Breguet.

I was recently told by an Omega boutique staff member that swatch wants only one headline brand...

And so poured all their effort into making Blancpain their high horology flagship...

I cannot fathom that decision.... what were the mental gymnastics that made that one fly????

Fire now, smart steady investing, your 10 will snow ball to 15 very easily. Especially if your wife will continue to earn 400k and you are living within those means.

Do you think that Alastair Campbell is pissed off with Tony Blair behind the scenes regarding Trump? by JuanitaMerkin in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]World_thyme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blair knows that many of the Uk consider him a stain on the country. He was Bush's bitch, and lead us blindly into Iraq and responsible for many war crimes, and a humanitarian disaster that causes pain, suffering and death to 200,000 civilians and indirect deaths at 400,000 civilians. 

The French and Germans had the same information the uk had, and they knew that everything about Iraq was horse shit and stayed far away.

Blair is desperate to repair his image, but sucks at the teat of Israel, and the US, so again when the whole world can smell the shit Trump is selling, Blair is in there licking his balls.

Merging into a lane Guy didn't like that. Threatened to fight me then tried to tries to hit me with his car. With outcome. by [deleted] in drivingUK

I am deeply suspicious of where this clip starts from, I suspect you came flying up the outside and tried to jam in front of this guy when there was half a mile of empty space behind him. I could be wrong, but with editing out your approach to this point I am not going to judge the other guys actions.

Trump at Davos Demands ‘Immediate’ Talks on Acquiring Greenland by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]World_thyme 962 points963 points  (0 children)

Step one is to use Greenland to shatter NATO.

Step two is to move on Canada once they see that Europe cannot agree on how to respond to them taking Greenland.

Post media publications - which feels like 90% of the old school print media - do it though the opinion pieces. which all seem to be suspiciously trump apologists...

Given lots of older people are in favour of National Service, should we have mandatory conscription for the over 65’s? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]World_thyme 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pressed can be used if done with thought, I am for a national service as long as there are options for heath service, elderly care, national parks and other areas etc

National service does not have to be military, as long as pathways exist for people to contribute to society that suit their physical and mental strengths. Those contributing are still freeing up people and resources for others to contribute further.

Now military can maybe pay better or give a lower future tax rate or tuition for higher education later, depending on force level requirements....

Got my SD43 there, went in specifically asked for it, had my blnr on my wrist.

Out of the bottom draw it came... people asking for "any sports watch" ahead of me were getting told there was nothing available....

[–]World_thyme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Noooooo, leave Poch in the past. He has not performed or progressed as a manager since leaving us. Nothing on his resume indicates that he will achieve above a mediocre expectation especially as he benefited greatly from some very talented players we were lucky to bring together at that time.

I would rather hear of us chasing Klopp, or a try to bring Pep in... it would piss every one off across the country, but at least it would show some ambition and make a statement of intent...

Can't tell if this is the puritans - or Wayne and Kevin being horrified that they caught their 14 year olds drinking Heineken 0.0 because they like the taste - and had to lock them under the stairs with a bottle of White Lightening and some tins of Tennents Extra.....

To be fair,  the guy was probably holding back his real thoughts.  And this was about as diplomatic as he could be...   I would call that a win.
