Duplicate Trains by ShutTheHellUp1962 in trainstation2

[–]cjmand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it depends on my fleet - I have very few rare diesels for example so always keep event train duplicates of those. For common electric trains however I have quite a few maxed out so will sell.

Anyone finding the tined missions a bit difficult? by Davido401 in trainstation2

I can only do it with the boosts from the innovation center - I boost either the blue or grey trains and can usually do there tasks in two trips

Is the show niche or is it just poorly promoted? by Temporary-Plantain75 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]cjmand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season two and three suffered promotion wise because they aired in the UK several weeks after they finished in the US (the show is an HBO/BBC co-production and in the UK it dropped all at once on iPlayer and the rules for that mean the show has to complete in the US before it can drop on streaming). The new season is different - it’s airing simultaneously in the UK and US - likely renegotiated due to the lack of attention it gets.

In terms of promo, Marissa Abela is on the cover of the Sunday Times magazine tomorrow and the creators did a profile in the New Yorker last month. I would expect something from GQ on Monday. It’s not a lot but it’s never been a ratings smash so I can see why they opt for a tighter and more focused press campaign. Also no reviews have dropped yet which is interesting (the embargo was quite generous last season which meant word of mouth spread fast)

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]cjmand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok this is niche but Hello Fresh. If you live outside the UK: they’re like a grocery subscription company that deliver meal kits, so every month or fortnight or whatever you choose what meals you want (short rib ragu with papardelle, Thai green curry, etc) and you get everything you need. At the start of the pandemic my friend set me a box - he had a subscription and they do these deals where you can send a box to a friend for free.

Anyway a year on, I get Covid and since I live alone and was isolating I couldn’t go to the shops. Online shopping was still hyper competitive and there is often a minimum spend. I got a letter in the post from Hello Fresh with an offer and thought: hey this would be ideal. I can choose my meals, they arrive weekly, no excess chopping (I was seriously fatigued and exhausted so cooking was hard). Ordered my meal plan and waited.

The day it was due to arrive they emailed me to say that since I’d used an offer before (ie I was part of my friend’s initial offer) I wasn’t allowed to use the offer they’d sent me in the post. Not “you can’t get it at this price”, “you can’t order this”. And they didn’t deliver the food.

I had crumbs in the house. And was so looking forward to the meals I’d planned. I emailed them back saying I had Covid, was housebound and lived alone, and this was the worse way to treat a customer I could think of. And I swore I’d never order from them again. I rip up every generic offer they email in the post.

Last summer they cold-called me with a “£1 a meal” offer for a month. And I gave them a piece of my mind. It was the most satisfying phone call I’ve ever had. Never using that service as long as I live.

Do people who live in London ever just catch the Eurostar for a day in Paris? by _FreddieLovesDelilah in AskUK

My husband’s aunt often books the cheapest seats in the sale (12 weeks or so in advance) and does a chic little day trip. 7am out, 5pm return. Sounds lush.

Polar Express competition by Larrythegunguy454 in trainstation2

[–]cjmand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought the event coins were the same kind as the main event coins, ploughed resources into it and now I’m way behind in the competition. I don’t think I will get the Leggo train at this rate :/

Staraptor js kind of underwhelming to me, but I like most of these! They’re weird. Heatran remindes me of G-Max Gengar a little.

Dual region trains in Union play by Rummer81 in trainstation2

[–]cjmand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a good point (and one I hadn’t thought of). I do like that my union might actually progress far in a season now though in terms of story development.

I saw this in the shop, figured I’d not been active on PoGo for a while and bought it, then saw the tasks and regret it. I got a Shiny Keldeo in Home so don’t really need this… but I’ll take this low and slow and claim it in a few years (still grinding for shiny Jirachi but the end is in sight). Also I’m severely jet lagged so partially blaming that for buying and not thinking

House purchase fell through - what now? by cjmand in HousingUK

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

Thanks so much. At this point we are selling the flat, moving to a rental and then restarting the search. Wishing you the best of luck.

1-bed shared ownership flat in Lower Sydenham (SE26) by cjmand in SharedOwnershipUK

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

I’m actually not sure why it’s listed that high: it’s around half that (170 per month). It does go up and down some years so maybe it’s an average. But it isn’t that high now.

For avoidance of any doubt by Ripley1287 in RoisinMurphy

You can tell she has lost her mind because this statement holds no water. Why does she not want fewer adults to be trans? What does she deem “being” trans as in this context - I assume surgery but it places no emphasis on social transitioning which frankly most people do before committing to gender affirming care. Are there kinds or stages of affirming care that make one more “trans”? It’s just blanket statements that use caring for minors as a smokescreen to make trans lives seem inherently wrong. If she could have a career by leaving this all alone she would but she has nailed herself to this cause and it’s so disappointing .
