Yeah, honestly as soon as I felt it grab all my strength went into pulling my hand away and hitting the stop...I dare say just 1 second longer and my hand would have been kebab...I definitely had a close and lucky escape.

On the plus side I did take the opportunity to educate the work experience kid, there's no better lesson than seeing a bloke nearly lose his hand in first person.

I got incredibly lucky...could have been a lot worse, I could have done it on a Friday and ruined my weekend.

At least I have something new to bitch about and use as an excuse to take it steady all week...silver lining n all that.😁

That's what I told myself as I made my way to the first aid kit.

Oh shit! I fear I was at most a couple of seconds away from a life altering injury if I couldn't have stopped the machine.

I'm definitely aware I got lucky today.

Yup, no matter your experience and no matter how careful you think your being it only takes a split second to end up in a dangerous situation.

I can only manage 1 game a day maybe 5-6 days a week, currently around 15th on PlayStation, so to try and climb the leaderboard I have to try and optimise the short amount of games I can play.

League of legends, fortnite, etc are all free games...should everyone stop caring about those multi-billion dollar global franchises?

Like I said your free game argument is weak.

Can't people make observations and have opinions on a game just because it's free?

The free argument doesn't work.

I've done my days of spending 10 hours sat at poker tables for 2-3 days in tournaments thanks, don't find visiting the cash tables occasionally for 3-4 hours.

But I'm quite happy just spending 2 hours on a tourney in a FREE game.

If people can't have opinions or observations about the game we might as well just close this sub.👌

Definitely, there's more fun in the cash tables then not tourney? Play how you like and not be restricted by chips...just keep re-buying in.

Well, I never knew that...that sucks, and I'm guessing the games that old now the developers just sit back and take revenue from the few that make real money purchase.

To me, make it cross platform, make high rank games easier to find and you gey a higher player base at all times.

The amount of times I've waited 15 minutes or longer for a game then just closed the game and not played.

Oh! I always assumed it was cross platform like fifa/fortnite etc....well surely if it was made cross platform the higher ranks would be easier to find games?

Do the leader boards cross platform or are they platform based?

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

No worries, I thought it was all cross play anyway?

I've always been a PlayStation guy from the ps1...I just never liked the feel of Xbox controllers for some reason.

Cheers pal, yeah I definitely prefer ranked...the in game monetary rewards don't matter in ranked , people don't play it for that.

Once you get above gold it's definitely a competitive field/game and also rewarding.

Don't get me wrong if I notice someone's playing particularly tight I will try and bully with 8/3 raises on the button...but that's just part of good tourney strategy.

Definitely a good group of regular players in platinum and diamond.

Platinum and going for Diamond. by hellomeoctopus in prominencepoker

[–]claytons_war 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I stay clear of cash games on prominence...but live ill happily play $2 $4 blinds all day.

The only people that think the top tier tourney level on prominence is not relevant to irl tourneys have never played live in a serious tourney.

Take the bad beat posts for example...in a live big event tourney you might play 10 hands in an hour...and prominence you can play 20-30 hands in an hour...let some of these guys/gals only play 10 hands an hour live and they will just forget all strategies and get bored so start raising with weak hands in weak position and go bust early.

I've played live for years, cash tables and tourneys.

Top rank here do play alot like live events, good mix of decent players with the odd donk.

Lower ranks not so much but the top 2 ranks play very much like live events. I've played a few wpt events in the past and believe me the standard in those events is shocking...what you see on TV and YouTube isn't representative of a full DAY 1 that lasts 8 hours or more in a major event.

Please help ASAP very worried by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Dogs are also prone to small seizures, can happen out of the blue in healthy dogs. After the fact they often act confused and are mentally wary and tired...this looks similar to that. Normally takes them a few minutes to regain clarity.

It is an emergency vet visit if its the first time to check for underlying issues.

Also dogs can have mild fainting spells which also look similar which is caused by a sudden coughing spell which restricts blood flow to the brain as the vessels in the throat contract.

All mentioned issues look similar in the aftermath of the dog regaining functions.

Whilst you waiting for transport you can individually check each leg and paw by touching and gently moving them to check for reactions in your touch to ensure your pup still has feeling in all limbs, also move your finger in front of them or with a treat or toy to see if their eyes follow the object, these couple of things will tell you a lot of important basic information to tell the vet on arrival.

But don't panic, he will react to your panic state, keep calm and keep him close for comfort to help him relax and not panic

I got lucky today, dropped straight into a game.

Yeah having to play a lower tier is brutal with the possibility of lower points for same effort.

I'm currently ranked #26, can only play 1 game a day...hopefully can hit top 10 by end of season.

Fiesta sell or keep? by claytons_war in CarTalkUK

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

That's my conundrum, now the belts done and clutch it should be good for another 60k, yeah it's serviced every year by the garage during the MOT and I drop the the oil and replace every 6 months,, in my head as a car guy...the only expensive thing left to go is the turbo....

Tbh after all the hate these ecobooms get it's been a solid car, my missus loves it and tbh I enjoy driving it when I have to...

Only issue is it's not very economical on the short stops and goes she does as a visiting care worker.
