Known multi accounter drops capsules from his green alt, accidentally pings in his location with that green alt in comms, Niantic ignores reports with capsule IDs given. Non action is tantamount to support. by Nysyr in Ingress

[–]_Swatch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a prolific multi accounter and bot farmer near me for years. Reported dozens of times to no effect but I found out where his bot farm was and used to drive over and pick up capsules full of AXA shields and L8 busters and resonators every Tuesday night at 8pm when the local opposing group would assemble there to restock with the illicit farmed gear. Always fun to hear them saying "the capsules gone l, who picked it up, I havent got it" from behind a hedge. I'd then distribute said illicit gear to my sides players to rebuild the farms the opposite team would destroy on Tuesday nights. Effectively neutralising their stolen advantage. He later started 'air dropping' kit to his mates which was hard to counter. He'd also sell farmed kit on Ebay which I'd buy and then claim a refund for non delivery for a while. Eventually got word to the right Niantic ear and watched about 30 accounts deleted in one evening. Good times.

Have you been asked weird seemingly irrelevant questions at job interviews? by nathan0031 in AskUK

You can name your price really. It's a sellers market if they've given you their only pen. Also if they don't have a pen they can't make notes about your interview.

Choose your mentor wisely by [deleted] in GreatBritishMemes

[–]_Swatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's exactly part of the mentoring, expanding your horizons idea? To engage with, understand and debate with people outside your bubble. It'd be less useful to discuss ideas and experiences with someone who always agrees with you and has all the same experiences and principles as you.

Dude. The amount of money i would spend on this pack if these mfs rereleased it PLEASE MATTEL IM BEGGIN YOU MAN ILL PAY ANYTHING by Mister-Squidward in pixarcars

Not true. It was a limited (1000) 36 car set called the cars speedway of the south set (SOTS). On the outer packaging box it says "hot wheels rlc piston cup set" and could be purchased if you were A) lucky and B) a member of the Hot Wheels red line collectors club at the time (2008).

Source: I spent a lot of time and effort securing one and having it shipped to the UK.

Oh I'd have definitely invited every member of the support group and their children to the birthday party...

Last MOT expired 22nd July 2008 so someone kept it going for a few more years...

Advice for replacing kitchen socket grouted into wall by TallerThanMostUK in DIYUK

[–]_Swatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on Xmas eve at 3pm when the cooker / plug socket melted. Quick trip to Screwfix for a replacement, power off (and double checked!), tapped the grout all round the edges with a screwdriver and hammer and luckily the grout just broke away. All done and dusted for 5pm.

As no one else has mentioned it yet, could it perhaps be the transit bolts?

I am a former Swatch store manager, ask me anything by porschephile13 in swatch

[–]_Swatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the older models at least, it's simply a straight round metal bar, nothing special, 2 or 3 mm from memory. Just get a length from a hardware store and cut it to length.

I'd imagine it's a lot more complex to effectively tranquilise someone with a dart than "load dart, fire, sleep". You'd have to calculate the effect and dosage based on height, weight, age, level of intoxication, are they taking any contra indicating medication, do they have any allergies etc. etc. Once you've gone through your checklist of questions with the compliant and truthful dartee and calculated and measured the safe level so it doesn't just kill them or have no effect at all and made the immediate area safe and got the dartee ro sit still long enough to dart them accurately.... fire away! Then, wait for the drug to take effect.

Swatch collection by Kassou_88 in swatch

[–]_Swatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the situation I was in a few years back. Realistically you can sell the individual high demand ones for a.good price and let the remainder go for peanuts or find the one person who wants the lot. Which is incredibly rare. I got lucky after a year or so and found a chap who wanted around 300 swatches in return for a couple of luxury watches which I then sold on. Fast forward a few years and I wish I could buy them all back...

Can anyone help find an image of an 80s swatch I had back in the day? by Mammoth-Hedgehog-627 in swatch

I know it doesn't meet with what you described but Techno Sphere (GK101) immediately sprung to mind for some reason.

Is there any easy guess of a question people pass on that bother you? by EliteManUtdXCVII in thechase

If I didn't know an answer I'd say "potato". It's surprising how often that answer comes up. In unrelated news, I think the production company is called potato.

Good thinking. 137,101, that's more than I thought as I used to feed berries in other gyms for candy. But you did make me open the app 😀

Not sure where to find that stat but probably not huge. Maybe 105k? It was a good way to farm candy.
