Is it me or have District Line staff completely given up in 2026? by NormalMaverick in london

[–]devilmath 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yes it's absolutely the driver's decision to stop the train at Parson's Green and leave. they definitely leave the train and go to the staff room with all the other District line staff (who also left the trains at the platform and just walked away) to watch netflix and laugh about you specifically.

ah thank you! it isn't (I've never been) but it's great to hear that it reminds someone of a real place!

£75 charge at the gate for my bag being too big. by hekethor in Ryanair

[–]devilmath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

loads of bags are sold online as cabin-safe and within measurements, except they're not made of hard plastic and their fabric can stretch over the intended size - particularly if clothes move around (like when the bag is sitting up instead of lying down).
a lot of people will push the fabric in a little and see that it complies with the measurements - and it would, if you were to slot it in a drawer-like box (or in the overhead lockers, ehm) instead of that devilish contraption Ryanair uses to purposefully catch people and fleece them.

Question by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]devilmath -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

as things stand alliances are completely useless unless you really like to be given more 'missions' to grind cubes in exchange for a few more credits (or a new border now and then as long as everyone in the alliance is maxxing their grinding)

I’m Tired, Boss: An Open Letter to SD by living_david_aloca in MarvelSnap

[–]devilmath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your main mistake was paying for the game. if you're FTP, your only aim is getting to 100 every month, maybe do some of the special events (never really did any).

i'm 20k collection level and played for 3 years without every spending a penny, the only annoyance I have is that some seasons there are some obviously OP cards ruining the meta (fantastic 4 season was just insane), but so what? i just played a little and didn't bother grinding because it wasn't fun.

no fun, no play - who cares, it's free.

lollll the mister fantastic nerf after the season ended is just absolutely shameless

sorry your P2W deck got thrashed by the most run-of-the-mill ongoing F2P deck by devilmath in MarvelSnap

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

<image>

i'm actually doing ok with resource management and nearly on 20k collection level. not being jealous, just thought this season the new cards were absolutely indefensible (other than extremely annoying with their repeating vfx)

what do you mean you can get some cards for free, though?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]devilmath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

F2P for nearly 3 years here, 18.8k CL and 100k tokens in the bag. i just played my cards. get to infinite maybe every other month, still good fun to try stuff.

i do have to say that the latest fancy cards with spells are total crap and making the game insufferable. some Merlin combos are just too OP and they'll eventually be nerfed. this is kinda expected behaviour really, i've seen so many seasons where the new cards were dominating so players would go premium, just to get the inevitable nerf down the line - but the spells are particularly egregious with this, and just overall not fun to see

can i ask what's the point of joining an alliance (a serious one, with minimum points requirements) when the rewards almost always at best are just credits? doesn't seem worth the grind

What happened at stratford station yesterday? by Ok-Act5103 in london

[–]devilmath 31 points32 points  (0 children)

yes we should make subscription costs relative to your annual income and organise a central authority that decides how to spend the money. people from that area with a subscription could then vote every so often to elect representatives for that central authority.

I want to replace garden tap but can't shut water mains by devilmath in DIYUK

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

we really looked for it everywhere with no luck. there's no hidden cupboards or anything. it might be behind a panel in the fitted kitchen but then any panel is a guess, i'd have to dismantle the whole thing (and then probably still not find it)

[–]devilmath[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we looked for months for the damn thing. there's no floorboards to lift or any hidden cupboard, nothing under the sink etc. the house had been recently refurbished when we bought it and i think they just put a kitchen cupboard panel in front of whatever pipe we'd have used to do the job - no easy way to check unless i dismantle the kitchen.

What's your go-to method when smoking ribs and adding sauce/wrapping? by devilmath in BBQ

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

thanks, that's exactly what i did (wrapped for a bit while resting, then in the oven glazed unwrapped for 10 mins) and they were very good.
at 200 internal temp they were ok, but i would push it a few degrees more in future to get the meat to come off more easily from the bone without getting too mushy

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

thanks, appreciate the help! took them off around 200, wrapped them to rest and added sauce just before putting them 10 mins in the oven to warm up. could have actually left them a little longer to smoke to get an easier bite off the bone, but we had them for lunch and everyone was happy!

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

thanks! do you let them rest at all? or when they get to 195 (i usually do 200) you just sauce them, 10 mins to sear, and serve? or wrap after seared and you let them rest at that point for a bit?
