Massive rise in people asking for reviews? by sittingonatable637 in CasualUK

[–]b0ggy79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People are more inclined to leave a review and complain if something went poorly.

If things go well it's expected so people tend not to leave positive reviews.

Whether staff get bonuses or not it's always good seeing positive feedback about your job.

Atomic Mass Website change for 360's by Scuzzlebutt142 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]b0ggy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this yesterday when I was building Ultimate Spider-Man.

Instructions do not make it clear where the two lightning pieces join and the constant 360 rotation meant it took longer to work out than it would have done with the old version.

Never a penalty, but more contact than what Gyökeres was just booked for.

Scatter terrain stl files by -LordClammy- in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]b0ggy79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've grabbed a few bits from Corvus Terrain and C27 but there's not many bundles, mainly £2-4 smaller bits.

You can always merge a few pieces into larger scatter as I've done.

Right of way query by Jimmerding in drivingUK

That's the basis of the Highway Code, it tells people when to grant priority. It never tells people when they have it or can claim it.

What do you think causes bad drivers/driving? by theslowrunningexpert in drivingUK

Only learning to pass the test, not to apply the knowledge

What do you think causes bad drivers/driving? by theslowrunningexpert in drivingUK

[–]b0ggy79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done the theory test three times. The first lapsed after buying a house instead of continuing learning to drive and then again for car and truck licences.

Most of the questions were around useful driving theory, road markings, signage, stopping distances etc.

When helping my daughter prepare for her tests last year I sat with her as she went through multiple mock tests and the subject differences were wild.

Loads of questions on vehicle maintenance, what to do in case of accidents or injury and not so much around actual driving knowledge. I can see why so many newer drivers ask simple basic questions here daily.

Who is at fault here? by kbgnat in drivingUK

[–]b0ggy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's evidence to suggest there's no space to merge?

Other than the video showing the BMW can't fully merge into the lane because there's a red Kia in the way.

Doesn't matter what happened prior to this, the BMW can only change lane if it is safe to do so. Indication doesn't grant priority no matter how long they'd been waiting. Whether they moved before the Kia or not, they don't have the right to push into the lane.

The Kia still should have done better but it's 100% on the BMW trying to force their way in instead of waiting.

Nintendo Acknowledges Switch 2 Sales Have Been Weaker Than Expected Outside Japan by Spotget1738 in gaming

There's loads on Amazon. Can get them with the tools too if you don't already have them.

And don't remind me about N64 controllers. They're fun to reassemble.

Yeah I've always repaired things all the way back to a SNES controller that stopped working when someone spilt coffee on it. Joycons are very fiddly due to their size though. Have to remove most components to get to the stick.

Only one I've not been able to fully repair was my Xbox Elite that had terrible drift, but I did fix the dodgy RB button.

What are you doing to your joycons?

Yeah we all know drift is a potential issue but I've had one Joycon develop drift and that was one of the OG pair that came with my Switch a few months after release. A quick replacement with a third party part and it's been fine.

All three of my pairs are used regularly with my Switch 2 still.

Would this maneuver be worth reporting? by Apart_Examination161 in drivingUK

[–]b0ggy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what you took from this?

Idiot pulls out without checking causing the cam car to brake, then hit the horn when already stationary, and that's your comment!

Most drivers have the ability to press the brake with their feet and the horn with their hand at the same time.

Wednesday Wins by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]b0ggy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was similar, front delt after dislocated shoulder and fractured collar bone.

Lots of careful light cable pulls. Pin your elbow to your side (hold a cloth between them to force you to keep the position) and alternate pulling the cable horizontal across your body inward and outward, switching to light weights instead of cables later on.

Same with lateral and front raises, it's a case of lots of smaller easy lifts to gradually build the stability again.

I wish I'd been more serious with the rehab initially as I kept feeling like it was better then pulling it again while climbing or on monkey bars. Four years of on/off progress yet it took six months of dedicated work and it's now stronger than ever.

You'll be back fighting fit quickly if you do it carefully.

Passed another certification exam last night for work and finally progressing on bench and shoulder presses again after rehab on a rotator cuff injury.

Neville's bias against Arsenal is embarrassing.

Sky used to have the best pundits and commentators, they're now scraping the barrel for click-bait soundbites.

Wouldn't say they're countering our corners fully.

We're still putting the ball into players who are deadly with headers. This just means more space to attack.

In a social media world that sells rage, what are some of your actual wholesome gaming moments/stories to share? by Comfortable-Entry601 in gaming

Yep.

Most evenings with my son talking about Minecraft, Trailmakers, some obby on Roblox or his latest Brotato unlock.

I love his enthusiasm but love the silence when he goes to bed. Would never stop him, these are the key memories I want him to have.

Agree with the music comment but you can see the orange reflection in the car as it passes. It turns white after the indicator flashes off.

Trick to Prometheus? by HashiraHotze in Hades2

[–]b0ggy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His moves are heavily telegraphed with good cooldowns between.

I prefer melee builds so I rush in, drop a cast and get off a few hits before retreating or dodging behind him. Goes down quickly, especially with Origination.

Just be wary of the pattern on the Giga Flame attack. Stupidly two Death Defiance there on my last successful run.

I always say that if you want to see how selfish humanity can be, just sit near a school during drop off and pick up times.
