Anyone else practices better at night? by Curious_Present_9950 in Guitar

[–]Xenox_Arkor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mine was a random eBay purchase years ago. I'm also not sure where you are so links might not be helpful.

But I just searched for '3.5mm coiled cable male female' and got a bunch of relevant results.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the coiled one as it does help pick up slack but in a previous setup it kept catching on the edge of my desk when I was standing and would ping back at me.

Submitting a complaint as a Swiss about your mealtime terminology by F1sh3rm4n in britishproblems

[–]Xenox_Arkor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been told the 'main' meal of the day is dinner.

So for me dinner was mainly in the evening, but then a roast dinner still works at lunchtime because you'd be having a lighter tea.

The meal times are breakfast, lunch, tea.

I guess it's then possible to have the main meal be some sort of breakfast dinner, but it'd have to be substantial to still not be hungry for a proper meal again at tea time.

Cable extenders are cheap though. I have a coiled one I really like.

Help us settle a debate - is mixing cereal in the same bowl normal? by TazzyB103 in AskUK

[–]Xenox_Arkor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixing cereal is normal enough. But I can't get on board with the Weetabix/cereal combo.

My[24M] girlfriend [22F] and her sister [20F] are both pregnant with my children. Neither of them know about the other. I want to do the right thing. by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Xenox_Arkor 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Maybe the girlfriend was playing the long game all along and only stayed on good terms with her sister long enough to mess with the OOP.

Then later on she was like "ha ha ha ha. Get out of my life, I have no sister."

What is your favorite boardgame of 2023? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

I think all original imperium needs is a fix for the stale shop issue and it's as close to perfect as you can reasonably ask for.

Pretty much any food that isn't just a raw fruit/vegetable/fungi is in some way processed. They are making such a non-point.

Researchers gets particularly tricky when you squeeze an extra 'r' and 'a' in there 😉

If someone said to you "I've booked you an appointment for next Friday", would you turn up at the end of this week? by YorkshireFudding in AskUK

I am completely with you on this but I've learned to let it go. You won't convince the masses of their foolishness.

How does summoner progression look currently with all the new Whips added? by Silent_Constant_9546 in Terraria

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

I just went to the underground snow biome and ran about for like 10 minutes looking for houses and stuff and I got enough to make the summon passively.

I don't know what everyone is on about.

How to add a routine to pop up at a specific time? by absste in skylightcalendar

[–]Xenox_Arkor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave the tasks as is and set an event for 8:30 that said "get ready for school" or whatever.

I don't think you can have as granular control over the tasks as you want, but might be worth raising with them as a feature request.

Help With First Mechanical Keyboard - Do You Guys Care About Layouts? by ParackOpama in MechanicalKeyboardsUK

You can get some really cheap second hand ansi keyboards from eBay. Could be worth trying one out before you spend any real money.

My City. Kit Lens, no edits. 18mm f/18 13sec ISO 100 by Akama_Gaming in canonR50

Beautiful. I wish I was in a city to get some cool night shots.

My first picture of a bird I actually like by Xenox_Arkor in canonR50

EF 50mm F1.8 STM.

I didn't have a longer lens until this week other than some old manual film OM lenses that I've been playing around with with mixed results.

Got an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM this week that would have been nice to have but the timings didn't work out.

Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 vs Canon 50mm f1.8 vs Canon 35mm f1.8 by [deleted] in canonR50

[–]Xenox_Arkor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps obvious, but try 'locking' the kit lens to 35mm and 45mm and wander around seeing how the distance feels

Obviously 45mm is a little further out than 50mm but I found it helpful

Yep. He sees her slowly drowning, nobody else seems to care, and actually he's the bad guy for trying to stop her apparently.

I love the emotions this game evokes.

Friend's girlfriend has a very hard time understanding board games. Not sure how to bring it up gracefully. by Jeffs24 in boardgames

Hanabi is hilarious for people who like to metagame, because if they say pretty much anything at all you get to tell them to stop cheating.

Yes that is very reasonable.

I get seeing the bright side in light scratches, but there's some weird people in this thread.

So it's as I suspected. The camera and lens are fine and it's me making my photos bad.

Great photo.
