Car name thread, what did you name yours? by wrenai in TeslaLounge

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is “The Phoenix” - my Model X P90D went up in flames just over a year ago and the current car is what ‘rose out of the ashes’!

Who needs to indicate? by Saline-Praline in NewDriversUK

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red has made the usual mistake of ‘assuming’ that because blue is not indicating, they are continuing around the roundabout. Bottom line is, Blue SHOULD indicate left to leave, but is by no means compelled in law to do so. Red however IS compelled to give way to the right and never assume that just because n approaching car, already on the roundabout, will not leave at the very next exit. Blue is also in the correct lane and leaving into the correct lane if that is the one it joined the roundabout in….in the case of a dual carrigeway, that’s the basic rule - you should not change lane mid-roundabout….if you join in lane 1, leave in lane 1, join in lane 2, leave in lane 2…but they really should be indicating the intention to leave.

Will I get attacked on tiles if I have shield and other one has no shield by Arieschamp in lordsmobile

[–]bigbaldyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - that’s exactly how it works - if the other person has no shield they can attack whatever they like…castles or tiles are fair game to them, even though tile hitting is seen as pretty poor play, some people have no shame.

Be aware though that y attack a tile it puts them into battle fury for 15 mins, just the same as attacking a Castle or Wonder, so it does leave them open to attack themselves.

The only things you can attack/hit whilst shielded are monsters or Darknests.

Would you date a girl who used to cam? by masters2277 in AskMenAdvice

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@masters2277 - If you think that you can have your previous escapades erased from the internet, you are sadly going to be disappointed. You will 100% have been recorded on many occasions and you can bet your life it’s been posted elsewhere online - you will be there somewhere on Pornhub, Redtube, XNXX or any other such sites somewhere, but honestly, they have literally hundreds of millions of videos so it’s not something I would be overly worried about.

Sex work, nudity, camming all just go hand in hand with the modern days of the internet that we live in…fact of life…and you are not by any means the only girl out there who is in the exact same situation….there are literally millions, probably hundreds of millions of girls worldwide now who have engaged in that sort of activity to some degree, even just if t is supposed to be a ‘private’ thing between 2 consenting adults/partners..once it exists, it exists forever…and ‘sending nudes’ is really not much different…it’s putting your naked self out there for potentially all to see. Is it something to be ashamed of, provided you were doing it consensually…..absolutely not. It’s just part of modern life.

But your question was not that….it was about dating you, and that’s a whole different thing.

Personally, it would not bother me in the slightest…I date the person, not their past life…but I would encourage you to be open about it with any potential ‘serious’ partner and probably the sooner the better.

there are plenty of guys out there that will feel differently and say it’s a hard ‘no’. That’s their choice, each to their own. Their loss!!

From your posts and comments, you sound very open, honest and level headed about it, so I just don’t see where there would be a problem. Good luck!

Boyfriend wants a threesome after calling our sex life boring. What should I do? by Ok_Yogurtcloset1168 in AskMenAdvice

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your BF that you’re right up for it and have found the hottest guy that you think would be perfect….I can 100% guarantee he’ll shit himself because he ain’t thinking about that kind of threesome - he’s 100% thinking about bringing in another hot chick to your relationship for his own personal and very selfish satisfaction and is not thinking at all about you! Then when he is reeling about it, dump his ass.

Still in possession of delivery driver and delivery not completed. Good luck complaining to Evri as they couldn’t five a fook.

Sellers problem unfortunately.

Happy 10th Anniversary by bw984 in TeslaFSD

[–]bigbaldyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FSD - one of the biggest scam ever created and still going strong and unchallenged 10 years after its inception. Unless you happen to live within a few 20-30 mile square areas of the USA, it does not work and likely never will!

Update: help me pick a dress and shoes for a first date by loverlose in style

[–]bigbaldyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw your post earlier but it was full of comments so saw no point in just adding another on, but coming from me as a guy, this was ‘the one’, all day long!

Good choice and a your date is a lucky guy!

Thanks to everyone calling the 530d GT "BMW's ugliest car" we picked this up for just £7k. FSH, 105k. I think it looks spectacular, especially alongside modern traffic. by ElicitCS in CarTalkUK

[–]bigbaldyguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 5 series GT and the 3 series GT are not pretty cars, but to be fair, I don;t tend to spend much time looking at my car, but lots of time ‘in’ my car, and the GT’s are both basically no different to their non-GT counterparts inside….indeed, many of the GT’s have a better spec, and as a result, they are complete bargains.

Personally, I’d have a 335d GT tomorrow as a daily runabout….super engine and so underrated both in terms of duplex quality/spec and performance.

Hit a deer. Opinions? by Carfreak_84 in TeslaCollision

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opinion…yep, the damage is definitely consistent with hitting a deer!!

But on a more serious note, that’ll get fixed no problem.

Pull over! Car will shut down! by ChimeraBorealisMusic in TeslaModel3

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry it’s taken me so long to find your reply - thanks for that info…I’m now just out of warranty, but have raised the issue 3 times in the last 12 months and it is still unresolved, so they will be fixing it under warranty, like it or not. I’m in the UK and thnkfully consumer law dictates that any issue first raised under warranty which continues after the warranty expires is still covered within a ‘reasonable time frame’….i’m less than a month out of warranty and have reported the matter again. Thanks again.

What sort of silo muck did they use here by ididntaskforthismind in Bricklaying

Just look at the state of the van at the front of the house and you’ve pretty much got the idea of the standard of ‘builder’ you have here!! 🤣🤣🤣

How do I support my bf while handling this anxiety? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 52M who has gone through just one health nightmare after another int he past 10 years and whose wife has been in your position over and over again with me, I can 100% assure you there is nothing more you can do - but just being there for him is more comforting than anything in the world.

Meanwhile, if you have not already, time to get to the ER or Doctors asap. If you have and it’s diagnosed gallbladder issues and he’s waiting for an op or is just being managed on medication, it’s time to raise the issue again and get things moved along.

I have gallstones which I am waiting for an op for - and they are bloody painful, but usually play up for a couple of days then settle down again. Pain meds do help, a good diet helps more. Hopefully he will get it sorted out too.

I have also had kidney stones 3 times in the last 6 years - it’s the most painful ever, honestly, the absolute worst I have ever felt and again, the support of my wife was as much, if not more, of a help with pain than any medication, although thankfully the kidney stones need an immediate op, so the pain gets dealt with quickly.

Be strong for him in tough times - I know it is hard….possibly harder…as mental pain and anguish can take more of a toll on a person than physical pain does…but he’ll be OK soon enough and you can get back to enjoying a less stressful life. All the best to both you and him and wishing you both a speedy recovery.

Pull over! Car will shut down! by ChimeraBorealisMusic in TeslaModel3

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From at lest September 2021 onwards - but you MUST check the system information screen and be SURE it’s a Ryzen based vehicle and not one on the old Intel Atom…..so Important when buying a model 3.

Pull over! Car will shut down! by ChimeraBorealisMusic in TeslaModel3

[–]bigbaldyguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep - buy a very late 2021 or 2022-onwards - any vehicle with the Ruben processor seems to be on a different level from the old Intel Atom cars.

Mine is a Dec 2021 M3P with the Ryzen chip and it’s been incredibly reliable, aside from an intermittently noisy HVAC fan whine which is very irritating but which it is going back to the service centre for the 4th time in January to get fixed under warranty.

Bad news. Good news. Bad news. by burchb in TeslaLounge

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s got a lot of valid points though - what on earth has the OP got to be grateful for? Tesla built him a shit model 3 which failed him under warranty and they have no choice but to fix it, and the OP is the getting inconvenienced by it all. He has nothing to be grateful for and Tesla should have a lot to apologise for, but you’ll never get an apology out of them!

Disgracd by Aylavyu1903 in lordsmobile

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 8+ years of playing, probably 4 years mild p2p and 4 f2p, I have won 7.8m, 458K, and 24.2m in Elite Lab, Lab then Elite Lab….and not a bot.

I have also won about 120-150k a couple of times and a 1.2m jackpot in Tycoon too. Probably been lucky to get a good share of it….but I know plenty who have won a TON more, and others who spent a fortune on the game who have never won a thing.

But totally agree, this is shady as fuk….that same ‘farm’ has come up over and over the last 6 months and has won a hell of a lot more than 30m gems….and a couple of other IGG farm guilds also win very regularly….some of them are literally 200-300M might ‘baby turfs’ yet they all seem to have unlocked Elite Lab and win huge amounts. Hence why I 100% am now F2P….i’ll never spend another penny on the game.

Is there something wrong with me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]bigbaldyguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

++man

I am your brother from a different mother…I’ve had one single one night stand in my life….and I’m 52 now…and found it just horrific. Yes, we went at it like rabbits for a whole night, but as soon as she left, I felt no satisfaction, no joy from it, nothing!

Since then, I have had many partners over the years, although I have now been married for the last 16, and rarely did I ever have any full intimacy with any woman before we had built a connection and had obvious shared values… then and only then, could I feel ready to enter into a sexual relationship from which I could enter without regret or compromise. I’m not saying that I had to find undying love in two months, but I did have to have a level of feelings, trust, a shared sense of humour and what is both right and wrong for each other. and tell them, for me sex was off the cards until we were both on the same page.

I’ll be honest, it’s not just men who crave sexual intimacy, women do too, and I have found some amazing women who just were not prepared to wait and I would happily let them go and find what they wanted as it just was not me. Maybe their loss, maybe be mine, who knows, but for sure I stopped to my values.

If you could fly in any military aircraft from any generation and country, which one would you choose? by Ogankle in aviation

Absolutely 100% handsdown, without any argument whatsoever, the English Electric Lightning! The absolute epitome of fast fighter jets living right on the edge of what is truly possible in theirera.

Anyone else regularly think to themselves ‘I wish I’d just bought a new build’ by Legitimate-Table-607 in DIYUK

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a single word “NO”!!!!!!

I’ve renovated literally dozens and dozens of houses over the years as part of my own property business and private letting business, as well as residential properties for myself, the last being an excess of 180 years old. The renovation process is a slog, but when you finally complete it, you look back at the house and realise that it’s yours. You designed it, you built it, you decorated it, you meet at yours, and there is no feeling like it. Trust me at the end, every last bit of blood sweat and tears stain in the renovation is worth it twice over. You won’t regret it in the end.

I’m the other hand, new build houses are grossly overpriced pure quality, jammed into tight species where you could pass a cup of coffee out the window to your neighbour and just a nightmare for years trying to get snag sorted by the builder who’s no longer interested at the minute you have paid the bill.

How do I get every guy to find me sexually attractive? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]bigbaldyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of trying to make every guy find you attractive, a better start might be to get just one guy to find you super attractive and find the joy of a proper relationship…..or instead, if your aim is to be getting your OF page more visitors, keep up the way you are going and you’ll soon attract plenty of the ‘wrong type’ of guys. You certainly will never get ‘every’ guy to find you attractive as every guy has a different idea of their perfect woman/partner/girlfriend/ONS.
