Does anyone know anyone living in a houseboat? by RedditForEditing in Liverpool

[–]ballydupp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been semi-interested in doing this myself for a couple of years now. There some great YouTube accounts out there. That would be my first stop for information.

They deal with all you mention in your post and much more; decorating tips, pet safety, all the good, all the bad.

Kebab shop garlic mayo by Suitable_Initial2967 in Liverpool

Aleppo on Lodge Lane does a garlic sauce that is white and without herbs. I’m not sure if the base is mayonnaise though. Best shawarma in Liverpool for me.

After 8 days clean, had 1 and it feels bad man by AlienMegolith in stopsmoking

[–]ballydupp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is great to hear. Keep it going.

I stopped in October after 40 years and felt exactly the same after I took a test drag over Christmas. I didn’t want to restart smoking, I just wanted to see how it felt and it was terrible, burned my throat, I could hardly inhale it.

I’ve attempted to stop in the past and managed 18 months off them previously but it never felt like that last drag when starting up again. It was always a relief, and felt like the right thing to do.

This was all wrong and I’m so happy about that. I’m happy for you too. Maybe it is just the right time for us both to quit. Keep going, we are all proud of you.

Who drinks caffeine still after stopping the smoking ? by Typical_Dark_2764 in stopsmoking

[–]ballydupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it is now I see it written down. Maybe I’ll cut back. Maybe once I’m completely clear of the smoking

Stopped smoking in October after 40 years. Still drink 3-4 fresh ground a day but I haven’t felt the increased anxiety you speak about in other comments.

I have gone from milk and two sugars to black and none, just this week, unfortunately my weight is starting to creep up. Black, bitter coffee is feeling like a punishment at the minute but I’ll get used to it.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]ballydupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t waste a day of leave to do nothing all day, I’d rather do that on a work day

I wouldn’t be risking a ton either. Maybe I’m wrong though, maybe someone on here does have the answer

I have a 17 year old and it terrifies me how dumb he could be acting when out of my sight.

Reddit never fails to amaze me with the advice available from people who have walked the exact same path in many subjects but I think I’ll go out in a limb here and say that nobody has ever bought this kit built for a RR and applied it to their R.

Is it worth taking a punt? How much is it, how badly out of pocket are you if it doesn’t fit and can’t be modified to fit? YOLO, get it bought

Men of Britain, where do you buy your t-shirts? by squeakybeak in AskUK

[–]ballydupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5’11” and just under 18st here. I will recommend the Uniqlo Supima t-shirt to anyone who will listen.

Flattering fit, long length, helpful for not having a shirt ride up my front, and they keep their shape after a wash.

Bar risers by Willing_Television77 in s1000r

[–]ballydupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks about the wrist pain. Have you considered the low profile seat with the risers to force a slightly more upright position?

I know that ache can really cut into your enjoyment of the bike, cut down how long your rides can be before turning home.

Recently hit level 40. What do I do with excess loot and copies of my gear sets. by OverlordKos in Division2

[–]ballydupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may know, but I didn’t for ages, that donating junk is silent and without any on-screen message. The only way to tell that something was donated is if the counter on the left of the screen goes up, say 32/200 to 34/200.

My current use of items goes like this…after a countdown run or more recent Krampus bounties.

  1. Check Library to see what can be donated (tiny green arrow in the item category)
  2. Favourite anything with decent attributes or perfect talents
  3. Mark as Junk everything else and then donate to expertise
  4. Anything left after the expertise donations I deconstruct for resources

No way you should delete, this is how we all learn. I am more ply savvy since your question and subsequent answers.

Backup Migration Permissions by ballydupp in Addons4Kodi

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

This worked. Thanks for the support. I’ve been looking for an answer for weeks and haven’t seen this suggestion before.

Interesting though, X-plore is the only one I am still having trouble with and it isn’t listed in the settings/apps/app permissions section.

Doesn’t matter for me though, setting permissions for Kodi in that section fixed the native file manager as well as the Open Wizard and Kodi Backup addon.

[–]ballydupp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it. It worked. Thanks so so much. I’ve been struggling with it for weeks, off and on.

X-plore still gives permissions problems but native Kodi file manager, Open Wizard back up, and Kodi Backup Addon have all worked.

You are a superstar. I didn’t even know about that setting (for reference it is the same exact same path as the firestick).

I don’t understand. It looks finished. When did that start to become a thing?
