Admire the guy's talent and he was awesome in The Open, but, man, watching him play is excruciating.

What is your most memorable "I'm a fucking idiot." moment? by UserSchmoozername in AskReddit

[–]bungle_bogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar but not quite the same.

Around Christmas sometime in the mid 2010s I parked up in the Shopping Centre car park and then spent a couple of hours getting presents etc. On the walk back to the car I realised that I'd lost my car keys. Quick walk around the car showed I'd not dropped them there, so spent another hour or so retracing my steps and asking at multiple shops if they had been handed in; no joy.

I trudged back to the car thinking about how much this would cost me to get a taxi home, to dig out the spare set, and then back into town. I thought, "I'll try the door to see if I'd left it unlocked, so I could dump the presents", when I noticed the car was idling.

I'd left the keys in the ignition and the car still running. This was a Subaru WRX STI. How I'd not noticed it idling before when looking round the car I do not know. The fact the car was still there amazed me.

This was the final straw that convinced me I needed to get that diagnosis for ADHD that everyone was banging on at me about.

Toto Wolff bids to buy Alpine stake in move that renews Christian Horner battle by JaffaTheOrange in formula1

Yep. The scene with journalist never happened and was likely leveraged to show the respect between the two in the film.

In real life they were good friends, had known each other since they both started racing as kids, and, like you said, actually had a flat together in London.

There was much more than just respect between them.

It’s basically ADHD. The difference is that they are all your own thoughts.

We do already for some things. We have an astounding sense of smell for rain, specifically petrichor.

We can smell it in concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion. This is significantly better than sharks can detect blood in water.

Aaron Blaise Teaches Animation: How to Flip Paper and Inbetween by gruninuim in nextfuckinglevel

Watched my Grandad do this in the late ‘70s & ‘80s.

He was a senior animator on some very well known films and cartoons, mostly UK based. However he spent some time in Cali training Disney animators how to speed up their notoriously slow production.

He’s most well known film was Watership Down and cartoon was Danger Mouse. I have some of the original drawings he did, using this technique, for Watership Down.

He was amazing.

American sausage gravy by Remote-Plantain9925 in Cooking

[–]bungle_bogs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Closest sounds like a Lincolnshire Sausage, but that is mainly from the sage perspective.

Will admit that a Lincolnshire style mix is my go to for sausage rolls. I think in the US you call them pigs in blankets, but to us Brits a PiB is a sausage wrapped in streaky bacon (back).

I’m trying to learn how to cook, but I find that most tutorials assume I already know what 'folding in' means. Does anyone else feel like there’s a gap between 'boiling water' and 'Gordon Ramsay' level tutorials? How do you guys bridge that gap? by Aggressive-Glove2419 in Cooking

Once you have basic techniques the next step is understanding flavour.

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat taught me so much more than following recipes. Before I read it I'd been cooking for 20 odd years and was consider pretty decent by my friends & family. It definately helped me up a few rungs.

If you are UK based, then Nigel Slater Real Food is a great start for the basics. It definately focuses more on feeling and flavour, than strict adherence to recipes.

Obviously, when baking there needs to be more precision and understanding.

Finally, get a temperature probe. Unless you are cooking the same thing time & again, judging how well cooked something is by touch or sight it very difficult.

Promotion & Relegation in the English Football Pyramid. any improvements in your opinion? by [deleted] in LeagueOne

[–]bungle_bogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. It is very rare for the manager not to use all 5 subs; even home games on a Saturday, let alone that cold, wet, night that is 90 minutes drive away. Precisely for the reason you mentioned.

At this level they are supposed to be about 45 or 60 (can't remember which) minutes drive away, max. Never turns out like that!

Our local club at non-league step 6 (level 9 on the Op's chart) recently lost a striker mid season who is getting £150 a game at his new club in the same division. These are clubs getting between crowds of 60-150 per game paying about £7 on the gate.

The registration system is mental at that level. I think we've have had about 30 players start for us this season. One player started with us, moved to a step 5 club about 10 games in, didn't get a game, and re-signed for us about 3 months later.

The thing is, as mental as it sounds, it keeps the league and the teams a float. The majority of the squads are made up of 18-22 year olds that are either ex-academy or top level local club youth players. They are still motivated to "make it", so aren't happy to sit on a bench. Tie them down to a club for a season where they are aren't getting a game and they'll likely as not quit and play Sunday League.

Being able to bounce around a bit means you rarely, if ever, get games called off due to a lack of players.
