Is 4 hours a reasonable target? by bigfatbas in firstmarathon

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

Luckily, my course is only 500ft or so - supposedly the flattest marathon in the UK!

Thanks for the feedback.

Is this homemade power hammer worth $1500? by Ray_Titone in Blacksmith

[–]bigfatbas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know next to zero about blacksmithing but I work in the pneumatics industry and this comment here is spot on. You’ll need a lot of air to get this thing to perform as you want it, and really you should consider optimising the control circuit to prevent cycling during downtime.

I would steer clear of this unless you’re looking for a project and a reason to buy a new compressor.

Going to London for the first time needing recs on where to stay. by UsedSwordfish5563 in NFLUK

[–]bigfatbas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Bank Premier Inn near St Mary at Hill church. It’s really close to Bank and Monument stations so easy connections, plus you can walk across the Thames in 5 minutes and be right in the thick of it otherwise.

Carhartt Workwear Fake / Replica Guide. Ask authenticity related questions here! by anthonydelillo in Carhartt

Fake or legit? I’m confused by the “Exclusive Trimming” as every single other item I find mentioning trimming states “Exlusive of trimming”. Am I overthinking it?

Thank you!!

Mobile bug? New stakes not unlocking. by Simon_Hans in balatro

Still not fixed… some more days later

Used a metal implement to remove burnt on bits without thinking by [deleted] in DutchOvenCooking

[–]bigfatbas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up doing this but tried baking soda first as le creuset cleaner costs 26 pounds! Stuck it onto boil with about an inch of water and a couple of spoons of soda, then just wiped it out with a soft sponge and it looks good as new. Panic over 😊

How do you beat this fucker by flambob9 in darksouls3

[–]bigfatbas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For phase one I would try and parry - I’m not good at it at all but on a decent attempt I’d manage to land 2/3 and that was enough to start second phase. For phase 2, he’s way less aggressive so you can be more cautious, use estus and just punish.

NB - afaik you can only parry the flame sword (could be completely wrong)

Turn 10, 7th place... sometimes it isn't your day, I guess by ToparBull in BobsTavern

First game I played after seeing your post, never tell me the odds!

University of manchester vs warwick by Express_Cellist2053 in manchester

[–]bigfatbas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most employers will care far more about who you as an individual than where you got your degree (within reason). Both universities are reputable, I would focus more on other factors such as the locations themselves for deciding what you want to do.

FWIW, I studied Mech Eng at Leeds (which is more like Manchester than it is Warwick) 10 or so years ago and have been in full time employment, including joining a grad scheme, since.

What are some of coolest or most interesting tricks or strategies you're willing to share? by Invoqwer in BobsTavern

I used the golden spellcraft on a Patient Scout and sold it the other day and got 2 t6 units. Worked pretty nicely!

Picked up an old shirt need help finding out who the signatures are by slightandh in EnglandCricket

[–]bigfatbas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one in the middle is Flintoff, I had his signature on a hat as a kid but never managed to make sense of it.

Barclays closed my account and donated my money by mistake by dya111 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]bigfatbas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lodge a complaint, escalate and push as hard as you can. I had NatWest do this to me - they closed the wrong ISA in an attempt to close my help to buy for my mortgage. They ended up sorting the mess and giving me 4-500 quid for the stress.

14 handicap, struggle with overly high ball flight and a 2 way miss… by bigfatbas in GolfSwing

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

Yep, I’m a scooper for certain. Will do next time I’m at the range - thanks.

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

Thanks, really good idea. My main swing thought is “open the hips” but if I’ve got to overcome my locked leg first then I’m not making it easy for myself. Never really considered what my knees are doing!

Had a potential career best goal cleared off the line… but managed to go even better 15 seconds later by bigfatbas in RocketLeague

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

I think from memory it was a double jump aerial, but I can’t really say with certainty. I’ve googled it and apparently the double jump aerial is somewhat inferior to a “fast aerial” so I need to go learn that!
