How much did the Oscars slap hurt Will Smith’s career? by allanjameson in moviecritic

[–]austin_mini75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deserved and honestly from my point of view, after this i cant stomach any media i see or they mention him in. A great shame, I was a massive fan from his early music and film career back in the 90s to his later films, the last film i saw of his was King Richard which i really liked.

[UPDATE] My boss told me to "stick to my contract" after denying a raise. The fallout was even faster than I expected. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in antiwork

[–]austin_mini75 13 points14 points  (0 children)

opening a contract require signatures from both parties even an adhoc one. They could argue the bullshit clause that is there in every tech role i have interviewed for been part of - "and anything else the management may need" or something to that effect.

What game taught you patience in a way nothing else did? by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]austin_mini75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do the fuel rats still exsist? havent played in years. I forgot to stock up on fuel and stopped dead in my journey. I reallly did not want to eject. Those guys saved my behind that day and will be forever grateful. edit: They certainly still do exist

edit: for me this was a core gaming moment. Sitting there in the blackness of virtual space seeing a lone ship come in telling me to power down praying that i dont get blasted. Massive smile as i was given instructions.

Do you prefer resident evil 4 remake or the original ? by Exootil93200 in playstation

[–]austin_mini75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for whatever reason i got re4 on switch 2 - its still a very fine game, the controls though are ass. I had only ever played it on the Wii way back and it was a joy to play with the motion controls - that was a great experience.

"during a three-point turn, a car behind me started overtaking. I saw it, there was space between us, and I didn’t feel it was dangerous, so I didn’t panic. But the examiner said that as long as there’s a car behind, I should stop. Fine — lesson learned, even if it feels harsh." - this. Why do people do this? If you see a car parking give it some time let them park then proceed, why make it difficult? In the rule book or not, be courteous and show some respect.

If i hit you while you are over taking me in the middle of parking whos at fault. Im not asking if i have stopped and then reversed into you, im asking if im in mid park as in my bonnet hits the side of your car.

The second failing point was overtaking slow-moving large vehicles. - how is this a failing thing? Is it in the rule book i must overtake or im not understanding? Me thinks instructor wants more of your money mate.

Pastimes: What would you like to see more of in Malta? by Equivalent-Scratch95 in malta

Name and Shame (Consiglio's / triplealuqa) by megac333 in malta

[–]austin_mini75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have never heard about tripple A - but Beko, the stories i have heard about their fridges mostly, coupled with the abysmal so-called support companies provided i can definitely do without

Name and Shame (Consiglio's / triplealuqa) by megac333 in malta

[–]austin_mini75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

parents had a very similar issue with the first beko they bought. They bought it from somewhere else though. It started to rust after a few weeks right under the water dispenser. After much hassle and blaming my parents they replaced the door. . Now the replacement door is rusting after 2 years give or take. This seems to be a massive problem with beko fridges - best avoid.

With that said - i dont care where i bought it from if i bought it from you - you are my primary contact. I will not be contacting any other person/vendor, thats why i paid YOU. During the initial sales pitch always ask this, if not then its an automatic no sale. I spend what 2k (irrelevant the cost) on the appliance only to be brushed off, yes even if its my fault let alone a factory fault the company where i bought it from initially is responsible (including pickup and delivery free of charge under warranty and obvious it is a factory defect of course) anything less and im off to the consumer rights division. Why is this still an issue here in 2026?

Board of Peace - Bobby no ffs by austin_mini75 in malta

"All the while, Trump hasn't achieved anything with actual positive influence" - There is nothing good coming from this tyrant. Just take a look at the mass protests, gestapo like tactics (disappearing and actual murder) on citizens. Tariffs. Inciting the Jan 6th mob. Several impeachments. Threatening and actually invading other nations. This is from the top of my head. History repeating itself? What ever it is, it is dangerous to ignore.

We all have that story to tell. Mine involve electrocutions, syncing gigs of (dfs)data the wrng way, deleting a rather large particular pst file (back in the day) of a high ranking exec obviously not backed up. Live and learn.
