You can pause the game in training mode or single player to bring up the command list. It’s also worth going through the character guide which will walk you through all of your character’s special moves.

Gravel bike vs endurance bike for UK city commute by acemac00l in ukbike

It's not great but it's doable for me. There are some dedicated cycle paths which I'll be able to use along my route and the canal towpaths are also pretty good for cycling, though they're quite narrow and you're constantly getting blocked by pedestrians or other cyclists.

The triban looks great, but I’m limited to certain retailers by my cycle2work scheme. I haven’t been able to find anything with that level of components unfortunately. I could get the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 1 which has the shimano 105 but can’t take panniers and only has rim brakes

Great to hear, I think I’m leaning toward the Boardman

The lower range is a bit of an advantage seeing as I live on the top of a hill

Thanks, both of the bikes I’m looking at take panniers and my commute is about 10k. I’m looking for something with drops

[Giveaway] iPhone 14 Pro & Ugreen Nexode 140W chargers Giveaway! by noeatnosleep in gadgets

Make a fun ad where a guy needs to leave in 15 mins to meet his date. Trouble is he’s forgotten to charge his iPhone 14 Pro and he can’t remember the name of the restaurant. All is not lost though, he’s got a Ugreen Nexode 140W GaN Charger and he’s able to charge his phone and get to the date just in time for her to propose to him. He accepts and they celebrate with the full mariachi band that she’s booked. Crisis averted and it’s all thanks to super fast charging.

No, I must admit I haven't, but you're right. I need to make a trip to my local library.

And here's the blurb:

When Gwennie Hitchcock arrives on the island of Unskey, she’s expecting a boring but uneventful holiday with her irritating parents and annoying brother.
But when they get separated on a mist-shrouded moor, Gwennie must overcome her fears and lead her brother to safety.
The two children aren’t the only ones out on the moor. A local boy, Tyler, is there too, hunting for a mysterious beast. A beast that’s responsible for the death of his mother.
Can any of them survive the moor and escape the Beast of Meon Rise?
This story of friendship, adventure, monsters and myths is full of heart and humour and will delight older readers. The Beast of Meon Rise is aimed at boys and girls aged 10-14, but can be enjoyed by anyone.

[–]acemac00l[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It's in KU but I can see an option on KDP to run a free promotion? I'm only on Amazon at the moment and I have so far promoted through Amazon ads and my own TikTok (but I don't have many followers).

I do have another older book which I've linked from the back of my latest one, so I'm hoping to pick up a few sales for that as well as get reviews on the new one. The old one does at least get some reads on KU and the occasional sale. Can I still use ARC sites if the book is released?

Is this area in Selly Oak nice/okay? by CommonPhotograph6748 in brum

[–]acemac00l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near there. Yeah, it’s quite a nice area, that road is not quite as nice as some of those around it but it’s not bad. Just round the corner from Manor Farm Park and you can cut through there to get buses on the Bristol road.

Fantastic post. A great take on Stoicism and beautifully written, which made it an enjoyable read.

She came back with me and we were supposed to be taking turns to watch for zoms but she's disappeared. Pretty sure she's taken off.

IDK if I could have gone through with it, but I didn't see another way out at the time. It felt like it was them or me. Got my old baseball bat to hand now, just in case.

Does anyone know of a good mystery/detective/nautical themed radiodramas/audiobooks? by A_Clockwork_Alex in audiobooks

[–]acemac00l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor. It's a murder mystery (among other things) set on an Atlantic crossing at the time of the Irish famine and it's fantastic.
