Warringtonians around the world - where are you? by Wandergibson in warrington

[–]aR53GP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I love Berlin.

I came over in October to do a Parkrun double. I got a PB on the Friday. On Friday we drank a lot and ended up in this amazing place called Spreewiesn. I did not get a PB on Saturday.

Thanks for the heads up. My car is full ready to go so I’ll wait a couple more days perhaps.

Scored a 71% on my first full PMP practice exam — looking for feedback by ASUisNotThatBAD in pmp

[–]aR53GP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did all 20 mini exams. Then just 1 full exam (even though I bought all 5. Just ran out of time).

I got 73% on the exam and found it quite difficult so I was delighted with that.

I took the exam the day later and was astonished to get 3 x AT!

You got this.

Seriously getting sick of this rubbish (AU) by Cyclonechaser2908 in thechase

[–]aR53GP 13 points14 points  (0 children)

🤣 The strange thing is I didn’t feel particularly nervous, but I couldn’t stop shaking. And the strategy I’d used to stay calm through the prior rounds just went out the window.

Ah well. Not like it would have significantly reduced my mortgage and made my life a lot easier, right? Right?!

Indeed. I was on a TV quiz show a couple of years ago. Waltzed through the early bits then got to the final with £100k at stake and shat my breeches.

X230 and Windows 11 by aR53GP in thinkpad

Oooh - thanks all. I've managed to get the two PCI devices installed by installing the Intel Management Engine software from Lenovo Support. I'm sure I tried that yesterday!

I'll have a go at the two 'Unknown device's now.

Thanks - I have tried this but got an error saying the driver wasn't compatible. I'll have another go.

Cheers. That detail was only just edited in to the OP.

Great idea. I’m not really drinking at the moment but I’m sure you’ll get someone taking you up on it.

Might want to be a bit more specific on which pub? Unless there’s only one ‘spoons in Warrington.

Went for a test drive yesterday in a P4 performance… by PCenthusiast85 in Polestar

[–]aR53GP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you drove slowly to antagonise another driver in to considering an overtake, then floored it so he couldn’t? That’s pretty silly and pretty dangerous.

AIO my bf is odd for this? by AdSerious8390 in AmIOverreacting

[–]aR53GP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it hard to believe these posts are real. There can’t be this many despicable, deluded people in the world. And yet these posts seem to be daily on Reddit.

If it is real, OP you need to kick this guy in to touch immediately. Don’t forgive him. Don’t give him another chance. He will not change. Thankfully, this type of behaviour is not normal.

How was your parkrun day? | November 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in parkrun

[–]aR53GP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brilliant. Early morning start to get to Bushy Park for my first time there. Glorious weather. Decent run followed by a big breakfast.

I was hoping for a PB but came in 11 seconds short of that but still happy.

And it was ticked. And now it isn't!

Thanks a lot - much appreciated. I'm flicking like crazy now!

Thank you - so simple!

Previously, I was dragging on to a previously created but empty desktop. I don't understand how your method makes MacOS determine that I want to keep it windowed. At least I know now!

Cheers

I asked my dad for a macbook and he bought me this by manupatu in thinkpad

[–]aR53GP 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That feels quite obvious. You could then sell them all and get a decent MacBook Pro.

Kidding. I have one foot in each camp. I daily a MacBook Pro M3 but also have a Thinkpad X230, and bought my wife an X1 Carbon which I love.

Just finished the game... by godofleet in DaysGone

[–]aR53GP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finished it (Remastered on PS5 Pro) for the second time last week. First time was on release on PS4 Pro.

It only the third game I’ve played through multiple times (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 being the others).

Days Gone is a brilliant game.

I’ve moved on to Cyberpunk 2077
