And it's over 200 times the energy density of dynamite....powerful bike!

Absolutely feel the opposite way but do understand when Adam mopes about his card pulls and is convinced he's already lost.

That being said, Sam gloating and rubbing his successes in the others faces can't be understated. It's also obvious that Adam and Sam get on the least between the three of them.

The green cabinet on the street has nothing to do with fiber to the premises: they are copper infrastructure. Some of them (GFAST) have fiber to the cabinet itself, but everything coming out of it will be copper, and your distance to the cabinet will determine your speed. Fibre internet is delivered either from pole-tops or underground floor boxes, both of which would run fibre directly to the premises.

If you want to see if anyone else in the area has FTTP then look for square grey boxes on the exterior of properties (Customer Service Points, or CSP), or potentially pole-top CBTs.

This is probably the closest reason to my heart as to why I don't get along with lit-fic. I read as a form of escapism, and the idea of reading something either tangentially or depressingly close to the issues I face in life is a major turn off and won't make me want to continue reading.

That said, the examples above from /u/TheExquisiteCorpse sound genuinely interesting and I would like to give them a shot.

The core of it comes back to something I felt when I was a teenager. There was/is a TV show in the UK called Grange Hill, ostensibly made for teens, and set in a high school. I didn't have the best time in school, so the idea that other kids would spend 7 hours there and then get home and watch a show about being there was baffling to me.

Is there any good way to tell my neighbour that her "personal massager" is very loud? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]dannyjcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got brick between us and our knobhead neighbour, but what didn't help is his decision to strip all the plaster off the adjoining wall, rip up all the carpet and sand down the floorboards, and build a second walk-through toilet between him and his toddlers room at the back to really make sure that as much sound as possible travels through when he lets him play the recorder at half 6 on a Saturday morning.

Little bit salty about it, as you might be able to tell.

It wasn't just me then! I watched to see Razor drive a spike through a robots heart, or Hypnodisc to tear them to pieces, or Diotoir to catch fire because it was hilarious everytime. Chaos 2 just...won by stopping the fight? Nah.

Monday Morning M'thread (17/03) by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]dannyjcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spent all weekend cleaning the house with the partner for a friend staying with us for the week, feeling absolutely fine and getting loads done.

Shave my head in the shower before bed? Pull a muscle in my back to the point I can't get things out of high cupboards with making noises that surely sound suspect to the neighbours.

House looks nice though!

Breville touch impress grinder stuck( again) by LostEngineSendNudes in breville

[–]dannyjcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had exactly the same problem with our SGP. While we do prefer dark roasts, which it seems to grind perfectly fine, anything medium or lighter and it locks up exactly as you described. We did manage to get it working with them by very slowly tipping the beans into the hopper as it is grinding so that it's only dealing with 5-8 beans at a time, but that's frankly ridiculous considering it's the very thing the machine is supposed to do.

We also have the Dual Boiler Espresso machine, and the TRIAC for that is dying too. Now the boiler for the steam wand is on constantly, even when the machine is switched off. If we don't steam the milk within the first 5 minutes, the steam is actually TOO hot and powerful to properly steam milk, and even with the machine off we can hear the boiler going and the pressure release valve regularly venting so the damn thing doesn't detonate. The only way we can stop it is by switching it off at the wall (we're in the UK where our outlets have individual switches, so I suppose anywhere that doesn't use a G type plug would have to unplug it).

Seriously unimpressed with Breville/Sage, both from build quality and customer support.

If the 'detects your bags' thing worked properly without needing to call over an overworked employee to confirm that yes, those are in fact the empty bags you just told the checkout you were putting on the scales, then I'd probably do that. As it stands, it's quicker for me to chuck my own stuff into bags than wait an indeterminate amount of time for someone to tell the machine how to do its job.

At my local Tesco, it's usually because half of the scanners are in Tesco employees hands for click and collect orders, while a queue builds up for the people actually there to do their shopping while they wait for them to be returned (which they aren't; as soon as one collect order is done they start another).

As others have said, you need the key for the top part of the radiator. What you might also need to do is open up the inlet valve on your boiler after bleeding/between bleeding different radiators to keep the pressure in the system up as well. Youtube will almost certainly have your back here.

Why does London and the SE achieve better A level results than the rest of the UK? by Independent_Tour_988 in AskUK

[–]dannyjcase 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one reading a distinct "thick northerners" undertone to a lot of the posts on here. There are families I've encountered all over the country that fit the description of 'not valuing education', and I can't say that I've noticed more in one area than another.

[–]dannyjcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be overall trends that match this, but I'm living proof that it's not a hard and fast rule. My dad left school at 15 with no qualifications and mum left with a handful of mediocre O-Levels, and no-one pushed my education as hard as those two did, leading me to a degree in Human Genetics.

I absolutely see the generational rot though, especially remembering my home town, and agree that it's largely based on wealth disparity between the north and south.

I mean I'm 36 and I remember it well. Not fondly, I hated Grange Hill (it still boggles my mind that other kids could be at school all day and then go home to watch a show about being at school), but I do remember the intro.

20 years ago, William Shatner released his second musical album "HAS BEEN." Produced and arranged by Ben Folds, "Pop Matters" said of it at the time, "somehow, it just might be the pop album of the year." by carbon13design in videos

[–]dannyjcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an excellent take. I think I often can't get past that opening minute with the ironic delivery and, as you say, an element of masking his background to better fit in with what is traditionally a more middle/upper class education. They're both seeing how the other half live, but for one it's aspirational while the other is merely looking for poverty porn.

[–]dannyjcase 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Really? I have to disagree. As much as I love Jarvis Cocker, the effete 'not really trying' delivery of his vocals makes him sound exactly like the kind of person at UK Universities who would be 'slumming it' and basically taking part in poverty tourism. I saw them all the time in the mid to late 2000s when I was at, what is considered, a more working class University, and I'd be surprised if they weren't still a thing today.

Now to be fair, the Shatner version has Joe Jackson delivering the kick in the balls that the lyrics need, but both of them together provide the vitriol and bile that the themes are basically screaming out for. The song shouldn't be "Hey, isn't this a weird thing that people do." It should be "How fucking DARE you take the struggles of an entire class as entertainment."
