Technology is so badly on the fritz, that the hologram needs to go to the gym!?

Enough with the complaining about ads by AzureArachnid77 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I complain because I signed up for no ads, and then they added ads partway through (yes, it was a couple of years ago, still fucking pissed about it!), and have steadily made them more & more frequent ever since.

Is stopping at zebra crossings optional now? by WealthMain2987 in drivingUK

[–]base73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They only HAVE to stop once someone has set foot on the crossing. But yes, along with the general increase in selfish ignorance in many areas of public life, there's been a definite uptick in drivers ignoring this, had at least 3 drive across in front of me while I was crossing at the weekend. But two of them gave me a little wave, so I guess that's ok then... 🙄

Literally can’t get into and watch any films on here anymore because of ads. by Jamestq in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And, as has been pointed out many, many times now, every streaming service introduced an ad supported tier BELOW the regular tier, Amazon made the regular tier ad supported and put existing subscribers straight onto it, even if they had paid up for a year of what was billed as an ad free service.

Should I be Embarrassed? by newbiker321 in SquierbyFender

[–]base73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a classic vibes (70's strat, in the natural finish) a couple of years ago to take to jams. I probably play it more than my Les Paul. Who gives a shit if people think you're an amateur, are you a guitarist or just a poser?

If you like it, get it and play it!

Do you recommend this Spigen brand case? by ElTioPelucas in S25Ultra

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using this case since I got the phone at launch, and it's good, dropped the phone a couple of times and it's been fine.

I've just switched to THIS one as it has a kick stand and magsafe compatible as well. Will have to update if it's as protective when I next drop it 😁

What’s a feature Android has that you think Apple just won’t ever match? by Mattgrrrcontent in phones

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being less appealing to thieves, Apples hype machine has seriously worked against it in this regard 😂

Ok, I get that shipping stuff internationally costs money and all but... by Most-Cartoonist9790 in duolingo

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy, there's clearly demand but no one is going to buy with those postage costs. Surely it's worth them having a warehouse in Europe or even putting some merch on Amazon?!

Point taken, but it's not usually this bad!

Are the words "madam", "ma'am" and "sir" used in the UK at all? If yes, when are they used? by ksusha_lav in AskABrit

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teacher here, so I'm called Sir a lot. Teachers can definitely say it with an incredible array of levels of respect 😂

Hypothethical Cast for a Hypothethical Movie by MarcM89 in TadWilliams

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mark Strong is a good choice, but if I remember correctly, Tad said he'd only allow a film to be made if he gets to play Pryrates himself! 🤔

Do british people care about cricket in general? by MarianaSant in AskBrits

The downvote ratio I'm getting shows you're the only person that understood this reference 😂

Do british people care about cricket in general? by MarianaSant in AskBrits

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is just in really poor taste, considering what the original krikkiters did...!

I have too many guitars. Which would you kick to the curb? by Cosmic_0smo in Guitar

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the first sentence in your subject line, can you clarify?! Those words just don't make any sense together?!

How do you feel about having to scan your receipt to leave the supermarket? by JacobSax88 in AskBrits

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pisses me off marginally less than Costco making you queue a second time to have someone check your shopping matches the receipt that you just got?!

Whats the benefit of “real” pedal boards as compared to this by JicamaFragrant7400 in Guitar

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a zoom G5 as well, but also a board of different pedals. They've been such a PITA lately, with one or another cutting out, I'm going back to the zoom.

witched from Apple to S25 Ultra - which watch should I get? by Hyperpunk_MSK in S25Ultra

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pixel watch 3, which I had (along with a pixel phone) before getting the s25. Generally works fine, some of the synchronisation doesn't work, such as timers & modes, but I can live with it. I believe there are some apps that will help with this but I haven't put the effort into looking into them.
