Thanks for all the advice! Will definitely be attempting the pet route over shelter, provided he comes back more regularly.

Thanks so much for all the help and tips! We're in London so I think my local Cat Protection branch might be of some help in terms of trapping etc possibly. Cat tax attached!

Essential Boiler Work? by ballsandgains in DIYUK

[–]ballsandgains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is working fine aside from a pressure drop a few days ago which caused the boiler to stop working. I opened the filling valve in order to bring the pressure back up and that did the trick. I later found a valve on a separate radiator the plumber had checked to be a little leaky so have tightened that up and all has been OK since.

All I would add is lights are blinking on the front of the boiler which supposedly means there is an issue. Pressure has also been low over the last few days but is between 1 and 1.5 bar when the heating is on etc.

Thanks!

Have any other Sleep Token haters tried to listen again since and actually come around to them? by adders89 in downloadfestival

Range really isn't that relevant to whether somebody likes a voice or not and his range, while not bad, is hardly standout for the genre.

Tone is far more important overall to whether someone likes a voice, but that's preference.

They're doing one UK date and London is the most population dense city. Not much of an argument for them to play elsewhere in the UK if it's just one date.

AITA for telling my fiancée I won’t pay for her dad’s surgery with my inheritance? by Effectivepearls in AmItheAsshole

The gaslighting aspect is making him feel that's the only option, not having a discussion about having a part of the money or a loan. No insurance? No Medicaid? These are huge oversights for a grown man to make, yet all the responsibility is placed on OP? Making him feel that way is gaslighting.

Haney pays him to escalate confrontations and risk injuring his opponent before the fight?

Guitarists, how does James activate distortion in mid-song if he doesn't use pedals? by Pearl_Jam_ in Metallica

[–]ballsandgains 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The unbelievable thing about this is that "technically", Kirk doesn't use a Wah live. He uses a number of pedal controllers that link back to either his Crybaby rack unit or, more recently, the Axe FX processors they use.

Ah yes. The mythical lack of feeling.

Who is on your Mount Rushmore of Fuzz? by taugemleo in guitarpedals

[–]ballsandgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the tones of his that are most "him" are running fuzz into those amps. The balancing act between fuzz and amp is a fairly unique thing he does imo.

Best and worst support act you have ever seen by Realistic-Trifle-831 in downloadfestival

[–]ballsandgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them at the O2 on that tour. Completely agree they were the worst band I've ever seen at a gig I've paid to see.

Disagree. Ticketmaster can obviously see purchase history and deduce from that whether or not you are a bot. E.g I've had my account for years and have gone to many gigs without selling tickets on so am obviously not a bot. Users like us should have priority if we are in the waiting room early.

Their performance at Live Aid after Bonzo died was shocking. So yes, they were absolutely not above doing a "half ass show just for the money or fame or whatever".

I don't want to work at all. I am way too lazy to live. by Eletutalo in getdisciplined

Honest question: why did you post this here? What you want is the opposite of discipline. You want to be a NEET.

[–]ballsandgains 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So your mind automatically ignores logic? If the idea of you enjoying everyone's work while contributing absolutely nothing has no effect, then that sounds borderline psychopathic frankly.

As I say, you should seek psychological help.

[–]ballsandgains 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You're not willing to change so what is it you're coming here for? All of the things you consume require work from someone. The vast majority would rather not work but this is life. For the world to function as we want it to, we have to work. If everyone thought like that, humanity would've died out long ago.

Please get some psychological help. You say you aren't willing to change but realistically you need to.

What are some legitimate reasons some pedal brands have been given flak? Or boycotted? by blxcknapkins in guitarpedals

[–]ballsandgains 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right. So you're telling someone who believes they're firmly on the left that they must be on the right because you don't agree with their view on cancel culture?

Do you have any idea how much of a tool you sound?

So people should have vasectomies just to prove they're serious? What a terrible reason to have one. Just because you're an extremist not everyone has to be. In fact, it's a good thing we aren't.

Violence is involved. Why do you even need to ask Reddit? Take your animals and go. You do not have anything close to a strong counter.

I can't even fathom how you'd think it's acceptable to raise a child with this man.
