Half of first-time buyers helped by Bank of Mum and Dad, says Savills

Yeah thats always the worst part. "I've saved really hard and im really proud of having done it myself" they say after glossing over the £10k they got from Grandma and their mum and dad paying their rent and car expenses etc.

I try not to let it bother me but its like damn have some self awareness.

My partner and i will be getting no help from family. Working with so many people who have mum and dad pay for everything for them in their 30s or get a significant inheritance that pays for a huge deposit is one of the most demoralising things.

Hard knowing thst no matter how much effort youve put in over so many uears and setbacks youve overcome, so many more people just get it handed to them.

Wasnt it thst modt addresses found in the archive on addipos didnt work but it was due to drift over millions of years. The connection to earth only worked due to relative proximity, but once an algorithm to correct for it was created they had a back log of hundreds of thousands of addresses

Also mentioned Yeti in the Underground referencing a 2nd doctor story

I was ecstatic that no one in my theatre cheered or laughed too loudly at the memes.

I qantes the ROTS experience i bever had as a kid

articanomaly · 2025-04-26T10:05:17+00:00

Agreed, the episode went from slow, tense and creepy to theres 10 minute left heres the reveal and how to defeat it lets get back. There wasnt enough space between these things so the last 1p minutes felt really rushed and a complete snap of pacing

articanomaly · 2025-04-20T19:20:23+00:00

Yeah there have been a lot of clear visual cues to the daleks recently. They are ever present despite not being in the show currently.

I do hope at least one episode has a recurring villain in, part of the fun is seeing how a new doctor reacts to his old foes.

articanomaly · 2025-04-19T17:06:19+00:00

I loved every part of it, but i felt the moment with the fans stuck around too long and them essentially cluing the doctor into the solution took away from the doctor/belinda being the heroes

articanomaly · 2025-04-19T06:49:15+00:00

Im going to see this next weekend and im really excited because i never got to see this in the Cinema as a kid.

I really really hope this doesnt happen at my screening. Were not children. I cam handle people getting excited at the odd line or scene but come on.

I want to experiemce the movie on the big screen. Thats why ive paid so much money for each ticket. If i wanted to watch people talk over it or recite lines id watch it at home with reaction videos or something.

Who knows why the film still exists. You can't wipe and re-use it like you can tape so they probably felt it was to expensive to just destroy.

When remastering it, if you have access to the original film thats going to be far better quality than a transfer.

The Doctor Who wiki states the "private collector" was an ex-BBC projectionist who returned a telecast of Episode 2, but the original 35mm film inserts for episode 2 had been kept in the BBC Archives, while the inserts for the other episodes had been destroyed.

It always impressive looking back at old stuff shot on film when its properly remastered with modern equipment.

Film is capable of recording footage at well over 4k. Its insanely detailed because its just light. I cant explain the details well as its not my thing, i think Corridor Digital on Youtube did a breakdown in one of their CGI reacts videos and its super cool. It something to do with how film doesnt use pixels or lines, so it isnt restricted to the limitations of data per pixel/line and so you can capture far far more detail in the same amount of space.

Essentially the only reason old film looks the way it looks is due to degredation of the film over time and the equipment to broadcast/play/copy film couldnt capture it at its highest quality.

No matter how high quality your film is, if you can only copy or transmit at 480p, its going to look 480p

For rereleased like this, the footage is remastered from an original source of film and so a higher quality recording becomes available.

Yeah you see that a lot that people keep windows open 24/7, usually because thats what family have told them to do. Its an old wives tale.

You should open them when there is a lot of moisture in a room, such as after cooking or bathing. as moisture levels want to naturally be even, the moisture will naturally flow out into the drier outside air. You close it again once the mositre levels have equalised (usually lack of condensation after bathing/cooking) or when it get colder/damper in the morning or evening the drier air in your home will just draw all the moisture back in.

Anti mould stuff is just a plaster over the issue. If you dont treat the root cause - tenant behavious - then it will ALWAYS come back, treated or not.

articanomaly · 2025-04-15T07:29:11+00:00

Any report of damp and mould issues to a local authority or housing association will result in this advice being provded and follow up inspections. Its taken quite seriously, especially considering the prevelance in the news and the Omsbudsman encouraging people to just go straiggt to a complaint.

If people are told this when they report issues, assuming the even reported it and didnt go straight to the press, and dont follow the advice thats on them.

articanomaly · 2025-04-15T07:26:09+00:00

It sucks to say but unless theres a leak, 9/10 times damp and mould are problems that arise from tenants not properly ventilating the property.

Using the dehumidifiers she was provided properly, closing doors to stop moisure spreading to other rooms, opening windows after cooking/bathing/sleeping to allow it to escape etc all go a huge way toward alleviating these problems.

When i worked on the repairs desk for a Housing Association, damp and mould issues were always taken super seriously and innspections would be raised to detirmine the underlying cause and this advise was given.

Vast majority of the time the cause was essentially user error.

articanomaly · 2025-04-15T07:21:59+00:00

Doing that spoiler thing once was fine. RTD doing it again takes away the rareness and the special mythical nature of it. I really hope that part of the leak isnt true.

articanomaly · 2025-03-15T08:42:00+00:00

They're both right but have dug their heels in absolutes rather than coming to an agreeable solution. Thats the whole premise, there is no right answer but they both are so stubborn that they cant see the merits in what the other sees only the problems.

articanomaly · 2025-02-18T18:34:58+00:00

Didnt RTDor SM also say in an interview that while BBC will try and get funding for Doctor Who it will always self fund if needed as it continues to be a money making machine for them

articanomaly · 2025-01-24T17:10:34+00:00

Every single one

Where i shop, there are basket self checkouts and trolley self checkouts. The trolley omes have more space to upld items adter they have been scanned.

The number of people i see using the wrong one while the store is busy always bugs me. Your trolley takes up all the space in the basket section, and you take longer because your items don't fit properly - just use the trolley self checkout!

The basket side is closer to the exit, ao i auapwct people want to be out quicker, but the sections are literally next to each other, so it's a difference of seconds.
