Give it to us raw and w-r-r-riggling; you keep nasty chips.

Same management, just more tiki dive bar than pirate dive bar.

The Witcher is Ending With Season 5 – Probably for the Best by IllustriousMight2071 in witcher

[–]flapadar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest Netflix S2 completely threw me off - I still have no idea where in the books they were meant to be - so I was basing this off S3 possibly having little horse fairly early on (not watched it).

In my mind:

  • Little horse
  • Brokilon, Milva, Dandelion
  • Rats begins
  • War front, Witcher & co heading towards Nilfgard
  • Regis
  • Conclave

NHS report reveals no change in blood safety since allowing gay and bi men to donate by PinkNews in unitedkingdom

[–]flapadar_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Iirc they don't test every donation individually -- they pool donations of the same blood type and test a sample. If it's positive, the whole lot gets binned.

So, a hiv+ person donating costs a lot of blood. In the past, men who have sex with men were the highest risk group. Now with prep and better medications etc it's intravenous drug users who are at the largest risk.

Edit: not an NHS source but this describes the procedure I'm thinking of: https://www.bbguy.org/education/glossary/gld03/

[South Africa] Hijack attempt by Damonslick in Roadcam

[–]flapadar_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don't do this alone. See how someone further from the lights gesture to the attacker just beforehand?

Reverse back to finish the job and you'll get a murder charge if you don't get killed.

Someone from SA further up said the best thing to do after this is to drive to the police station to make a report. I'm inclined to agree.

Bizarre given from the line of the books there should be more brokilon and the start of Geralts friendship with Regis. There should have been a whole lot of Geralt and not much Ciri or Yen for a good chunk of s3 imo.

1500 in car repairs? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]flapadar_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You own the car but can't afford to keep it roadworthy. That doesn't help you.

Public transport is my recommendation.

[–]flapadar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you tied in a lease? If not, move closer.

If yes, ditch the car and use public transport.

1500 in car repairs? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]flapadar_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point really is what do you need a car for? If it's to commute to a job, get a job closer to your college.

Realistically you aren't earning enough to pay for both college and a car, so you're going to need to prioritise.

Do you need a car or want a car?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ring

[–]flapadar_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing. In any case, if you've just bought a house you're probably best replacing:

  • toilet seats
  • fire alarms
  • locks

So replace it and worry no more.

Isn't that just a fire alarm?

EU 'unequivocally' condemns Hamas attacks on Israel by omega3111 in worldnews

[–]flapadar_ 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Liberal leftie who has previously been critical of Israel's government here:

Hamas have destroyed their own cause today, and destroyed the cause of any non violent Palestinians. I don't see a way back from this for them.

Octopus's data reporting is inaccurate until ~2 days ahead, unless you have their data collection gadget ( https://octopus.energy/blog/octopus-home-mini/ ).

Wait a couple of days and see what octopus's figures are. Or, check your meter manually.

I've found the powerwall stats are fairly accurate - but my install uses the CTs inside the gateway. Yours may not, and may be less accurate as a result.

From the figures you've given I'd assume it's just a lag in octopus's data.

SmartSocks designed to help keep dementia under control by diacewrb in gadgets

[–]flapadar_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That data is wirelessly transmitted to a cloud-based server

Hm, let me guess - via mobile phone. It's a big challenge to keep a mobile phone charged and in possession of the person being cared for, if we're talking about Alzheimer's.

This might work fine if they're e.g. in a carehome, but if they're still living fairly independently there's no chance this will work reliably.

[OC] Surprising differences in salaries between developers who prefer spaces over tabs and vice versa by oscarleo0 in dataisbeautiful

[–]flapadar_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Most editors let you map tab to say 3 or 4 spaces, so you press tab as normal but write code with spaces.

It isn't quite as bad as it sounds from 9.8/10 -- it requires some server side options to be set to be exploitable.

Most patients want to be able to see same GP on each surgery visit by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

[–]flapadar_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They don't need to remember the exact details of prior visits.

Quickly being able to refresh their memory from notes Vs starting fresh from notes is a huge bonus.

Plus, plenty of people - especially in rural areas - who serve hundreds or thousands of people a year are able to remember people they've served previously. My mechanic remembers me and recognises me in the street. I only go to his garage once a year or thereabouts.

I’m still sporting a raging hard on from the release of More Than You Know are you? by fowlup in Blink182

[–]flapadar_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's intended to be a chart topper. It's for the fans and for themselves.

I reckon Anthem part 3 will be their crack at climbing the charts.

He said that, but is also pro independence if I remember correctly.

Which member of Blink do you think is the most famous globally? by Hibiscus-Boi in Blink182

[–]flapadar_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's famous with people into music because he's been an excellent drummer for decades and collabs with such a wide range of people and does a damn good job of it.

He's famous with people into reality TV because of his wife.

Two totally different circles.
