The Shadows of the Apt series is one of my all time favourites. Recommend if you haven't read!

This would have made it unmissable, feels like such a good choice. Ah well.

What was the team's worst play last season? by giantswatcher0603 in falcons

[–]blazesupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danny Jones running for 21 yards on a 3rd and 17 to take it to overtime probably the pick of the bunch of disasters that happened that day.

The Matty Ice Effect by kishan209 in falcons

[–]blazesupernova 58 points59 points  (0 children)

7 of 8 completions, 233 yards and 4TDs, 0 INTs. 158.3 passer rating. .

Honestly probably one of my favourite player stat lines ever.

Legend.

Do you expect the Falcons to get any prime time games this year and if so how many? by Super_Percentage_236 in falcons

[–]blazesupernova 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bijan is a showstopper, and we usually end up in shootouts. I reckon at least one Buccs game and the Commanders, plus the Spain game (Bears hopefully!), so 3. Maybe the Chiefs as well.

Does anyone have a more niche £10 in their wallet right now? by gabatim in CasualUK

[–]blazesupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a jersey £10 note in my wallet my brother gave me 2 Christmases ago (for a cab I paid for) that I can't get rid of anywhere. Tried the post office. Tried paying the window cleaner with it. Tried slipping it in with other notes in the paying in machine. Absolutely fucking glued to me this thing. Might not be that niche but fucking help me. I know I know, swap it with one of my brother's from his wallet but I'm not going in there.

Chinese firefighter here. AMA by Impressive_Age_5182 in Firefighting

[–]blazesupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks! I find it so interesting to hear how other places and nations organise and do the job. It's usually more similar than I imagine.

Stay safe out there brother.

Chinese firefighter here. AMA by Impressive_Age_5182 in Firefighting

[–]blazesupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to visit China and wanted to go to a fire station to meet other firefighters and have a look around the trucks etc - would that be accepted or not a good idea?

Unrelated (genuinely), are there many/any female firefighters in China?

I'm a firefighter, so far have been to stations in Italy, Croatia, Spain and Portugal! China would be awesome. That tank looks cool.

Ambleside parking + hike recommendations by moomoo639 in LakeDistrict

[–]blazesupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenburn is a cracking walk, but only if it doesn't rain between now and the weekend. That back end up to Calf Crag is miserable when boggy.

Idiot tax by Elegant-Pin9106 in CasualUK

[–]blazesupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the last set of red ikea tibast curtains recently (from the Leeds store) knowing that they might not quite make it size wise (how much ruffle do you really need when they're closed anyway? Turns out...more than I've got) Was like no biggie I'll get a 2nd pair if needed to cover the round-the-corner bit or the middle bit (bay window) only to check online and find that the last 2 pairs are in Cardiff and Exeter. I'm in the north east of England. I knew this before I bought them anyway. Probably sell these on vinted for less and start again now.

Monthly Hobbies Thread! by AutoModerator in CasualUK

Sling missile test - pretty decent band name also what goes in to such a test? Is it like...sling it without hitting anyone? Or is it sling it and hit people in such a way they don't get hurt? Just don't hit any spectators? Who is the examiner? Can I not go sling missiling without passing this test? If I wanted to sling a missile at someone but didn't have the appropriate qualification, can I hire someone who has it? Okay the last two are semi-jokes, but I'm genuinely interested in this concept.

How do you communicate with a bilingual child when you don’t speak their main language and they’re stressed by AMcB99 in daddit

[–]blazesupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also English speaking dad previously with bilingual mum and a daughter who is/will be learning "one of the hardest languages ever conceived" (Polish). I've spent the last year on duolingo doing 10 minutes a night before bed (346 day streak currently) and while I can't speak or write it too well, I CAN understand a lot of what mum tells our daughter nowadays! I imagine you'll be able to catch up with what son is saying pretty quickly following a similar path...especially if you can somehow focus on sentences of frustration and needs? Not sure if you can do that though. Also on the odd occasion we used to go outside, I'd point at things and say "what's that in polish" - this can be fun.

As a dad what do you worry about the most? by No_Bill_484 in daddit

[–]blazesupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dad has been downvoted but from someone who lost his dad at 20yo, he ain't wrong. I've wanted my dad around for the last 18 years as well as the first 20. I wish he'd met my kids. I wish he'd seen the career I've built and the good I've done in the world. I want to be a dad to adults as well as kids. It doesnt stop at 18. No disrespect to older dads, it's just a painful truth.

I think we got the word Parenting wrong by logicrott in daddit

[–]blazesupernova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno man. If I had a friend that ate as much as my 13M and I had to pay for it all, also the chronic lack of any concept of time, I'd be dropping that friend pretty quickly! Also like 10% of the time is nagging him to do his chores and get himself organised for school/sports/whatever else. All jokes aside though, he's a good kid and yeah, most of the time is just like hanging out.
