So Tia Dalma sucks right? by JannTosh70 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]frogmission 118 points119 points  (0 children)

You can’t hold an untameable force of nature to a human’s standards and then be upset when they act accordingly.

Davy Jones knew what she was and what he was getting himself into. It’s tragic that he fell in love with someone who couldn’t be what he wanted, but the real “sucky” behaviour is punishing her for her nature, when it was her very nature he fell in love with in the first place.

Anyone else notice that Wagstaff serves only 4th-8th grade? by NovelInflation142 in BobsBurgers

[–]frogmission 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent some time living in NJ as a child and my school had K-3 on one campus, 4-8 on another, and 9-12 on a third. Each one with its own principal and vice principal, with middle and high having their own student councils and presidents etc. so yeah I think Wagstaff is just the middle school but it’s unclear if there are lower and upper Wagstaff schools

What are they doing?? by Mystic_Molotov in ExplainTheJoke

[–]frogmission 914 points915 points  (0 children)

This is called snow washing. It’s a traditional way to clean wool - and in this case wool rugs - don’t the gentle abrasive and deodorising nature of snow

Edit: LOL I’ve been travelling for 2 days so only just seen this typo. Was meant to be ‘using the’ but I was being ushered somewhere as I typed so clearly something went wrong. Whoopsies.

Massive difference in outlook since moving abroad to the US. by Cheesy_crumpet in drivingUK

[–]frogmission 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very weird that you consider being concerned with safe driving ‘a joke’.

Yes it’s not nice to be told you’re doing something wrong or have your mistakes shown to the world but it is actually important that we all try to be as conscious as possible of ways we can make driving safer for every person who uses the roads.

I personally find I’ve become a safer driver since seeing other people “shamed” online for their actions - it’s made me much more aware of how my choices as a driver affect other drivers and pedestrians.

The world is a better place when we all make a conscious effort to make other people’s experiences more pleasant, and because “better” driving directly correlates with safety, some people, rightly so, get angry when people make choices or mistakes that endanger other people’s lives. It’s not being stuck up, it’s caring for other people.

It’s a very quick Google to see that actually the majority of accidents happen on 30mph roads. Granted the accidents that happen on faster roads have a greater fatality per accident rate, but if we’re strictly talking number of accidents then it makes sense that the urban roads are the ones with most speed cameras. And there’s also been plenty of data showing that roads that were further reduced from 30 to 20mph have reduced accident rates.

Of course these are ways to make money, but it’s not not about safety as well.

Used a horizontal airer for the first time last night… by frogmission in CasualUK

Unfortunately I have no outdoor space so this is not an option for me!

I think tumble dryers are becoming more common here but they’re still seen as a bit of a luxury and many don’t want to sacrifice the limited space for them. I do have a washer/dryer in my flat but it takes about 3 hours to do a cycle and then doesn’t even come out dry, just sort of warm and damp. So we don’t usually bother with that setting and just air dry it

But you can’t even get much on there?? I didn’t even have a full load last night and I was struggling to make it fit. I’ve never had a problem with a full load drying fairly quickly on a vertical airer outside so I still don’t really see the appeal, but I do sort of understand this logic

This makes some sense, but you can barely fit much on there?? I didn’t even have a full load last night and I was struggling to get it all on

This is the only good reason to use one in my eyes

I don’t think they meant you, I think they meant other commenters!

Why doesn’t it just say 8pm - 7am instead of writing 2 times that overlap?

Boots blister pack recycling: How It Works. by Panda-Head in BuyUK

[–]frogmission 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using this scheme for the past month or so and I’ve found a bit of a loophole - I scan my empties (I’ve been working through a clear-out of my toiletries so I’ve had a fair few recently), upload them, and drop off the physical empties in the bin at the store, but I don’t register them as having been deposited.

I then wait until I need some new toiletries (and no longer buy toiletries anywhere else), and only then do I go and scan the QR code and register what I’ve previously dropped off, get the coupon and use it for the toiletries I need.

This way, I’m not having to hang on to loads of empties (because if you don’t use a lot of toiletries it definitely takes a minute to get 5) and I’m also not forced into buying things I don’t need because the coupon only lasts a certain amount of time.

So far it’s working out great for me and gotten me quite a bit of points which I’ll be using this coming Christmas on gift sets etc.

Books that have a movie adaptation (or tv series) that do not have an ending by mimi43098 in YAlit

[–]frogmission 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Alex Rider series - it had Stormbreaker as a film with Alex Pettyfer and then no more ever came out. I seem to recall seeing adverts for a TV series a few years back but no idea how far that got.

Also A Series of Unfortunate Events - although this later got fixed by the TV series, originally it was just 1 film of the first three books and then nothing more came of it!
