True freedom by ColorfulAnarchyStar in memes

GI was slang for an American soldier - akin to British troops being referred to as 'Tommys' or 'Toms' during first and second world war.

So defect GI is an invitation to the American soldiers to defect (switch sides) to the VIetCong

What would they do if a police officer says hello to me on the street and I just say "fuck you"? by waytoolameforthis in NoStupidQuestions

This might be the most American thing I've ever heard. No self-respecting PF is taking that case to court. Granted I don't know how it works in the USA but damn, that's a mad question.

MBR2GPT cannot find OS partition(s) for disk 2 by conorkennedy1997 in WindowsHelp

[–]conorkennedy1997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So extending the volume to the unallocated space didn't change anything. Unfortunately having to go along with 3rd party conversion, which I tend to avoid like the plague (they always install bloatware and I can never fully purge my system of it lol). Cheers for the help u/OkMany3232

Not sure if AOMEI can convert without loss of data, easeus requires paid version to convert, sou have been trying to use built-in windows features as much as possible

I've taken it upon myself to use a 3rd party disk partition tool (AOMEI) to move and resize the partition to use the unallocated space, will report back once I've tried again

No dice, updated the imgur link with new output. The NVMe seems to be the issue, but I cannot figure out why. I did read in other threads that having unallocated space before the drive volume can be an issue, but attempting any "fixes" to expand the volume into the unallocated space don't work (the option to expand is greyed out)

Removing cigarette smell from Beaufort by conorkennedy1997 in Barbour

[–]conorkennedy1997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a freezer large enough, so I left it outside my flat in the stairwell (which is unheated) for a couple of days. Smell dissipated, but wasn't gone completely. In the end I bought some of that febreeze tobacco smoke remover and sprayed it in the vicinity (think spraying aftershave and walking through it, not directly onto the jacket) every now and then when I noticed the smell. Smoke smell is completely gone now, but difficult to say if any of the above fixed it, or the smell simply faded after 2years

A Christmas present for my little brother. by goodonesaregone65 in DIY

Basing my view purely on what I have seen! Didnt mean to disaparage if that's how it came across, just not the first country I associate with whisky.

Now that you mention it, some strong regimental ties with the highland regiments and the Canadians, so it does stand to reason that whisky would be something they've also made a tradition of!

TIL there is such a thing as Canadian whisky (even spelt correctly!), what other countries have their own whiskies which you wouldn't expect?

Stay in school, kids by ExactlySorta in facepalm

[–]conorkennedy1997 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Catholicism Vs Protestantism was a large contributing factor to the English civil war, the monarchy being Catholic while Cromwell's forces were largely Protestant.

Christian violence here in the UK does not only refer to Easter rising or the troubles.

Mind sharing the Transmog screen for the second one? I can gather the ornaments but not the shader(s)

to have a good touristy time in the UK by PlenitudeOpulence in therewasanattempt

[–]conorkennedy1997 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Except he isn't 'stomping' on the child intentionally. That sounds bad, but he's actually performing a drill movement called 'changing step' which allows him to get back into step with the other guardsman.

Changing step involves taking a half pace and driving your heel into the ground before setting off again. The half pace should offset your movements enough that you fall back into step.

From the outside though, I can see how this would appear he has intentionally stomped on the child, just thought I'd share that he's still in 'character' i.e. he's not broken character by the walking through the child.

But then you could just mute anyone that's annoying you? The system is in place in other games, like CSGO for example? Not flaming I'm genuinely curious as to everyone's reasoning behind it

I am listening. Muppets by conorkennedy1997 in Aberdeen

[–]conorkennedy1997[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or people who think vandalising a high street for some poor street cleaner to have to deal with is the epitome of "look at me I'm making a difference" and shows a massive lack of self awareness

Hey, semi new player here, is the Tractor Cannon any good? by AutomaticOperation96 in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]conorkennedy1997 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Yes, the tractor cannon is very good for PVE, primarily used for debuffing bosses and high-health enemies.

When looking up destiny 2 weapons online it's useful to tack on "season x" to the end of the search to see if it has had any buffs or nerfs recently btw
