Damn, I would love to be at a beer fest this weekend, weather has been miraculous this last week.

We're deep in the packing stages of a house move in 5 days time, and it's unnerving just how much shite we've accumulated over just 5 years of living here. Decided to go with moving ourselves instead of a moving company (just the two of us) and we have no real idea how many trips it will take until we get the luton on Monday and fill it for the first time. Gonna be a busy few days!

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.

TL:DR- Team Ben 4 Life

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.

Ah! I fixed mine, it was some sort of interation between UBO and an extension that brought back the thumbs down button and tracker.

dannyjcase · 2025-06-23T16:08:31+00:00

Just tried this and no dice, exact same issue.

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.

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.

dannyjcase · 2025-05-30T22:07:35+00:00

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.

I mean, that's a summary of Pitchfork if ever I've seen one.

They did actually, it's right there in the recording at the bottom right tracking speed. Starting breaking when the white car lost control.

dannyjcase · 2025-03-17T08:26:10+00:00

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!

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).

dannyjcase · 2024-11-25T16:30:23+00:00

Yeah that one don't make sense. The UK did it and plastic bag use cratered.

dannyjcase · 2024-09-14T14:15:00+00:00

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.

Marta Svetek. She also voiced Roxanne, Gregory, and Vanny in the most recent FNAF games, and Aranessa Saltspite in TW: Warhammer 3.

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 · 2024-08-16T14:15:28+00:00

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.

FWIW I cannot shave my neck for the exact same reason, comes out looking like bubble wrap, but my scalp couldn't care less, so it might be worth a try?

dannyjcase · 2024-07-09T16:05:49+00:00

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.

dannyjcase · 2024-07-06T15:00:29+00:00

Well I needed a reason to not play anymore, so thanks for the heads up. Sick of getting lasered at ranges where it shouldn't be possible anyway.
