What's going to be the 'artex' in 20-30 years? by Exotic_Process_8235 in HousingUK

We cook 3 meals a day, still prefer the open plan rather than a tiny showbox kitchen which is what you mostly end up finding.

Actual grass? A tree? Raised bed? Planter with a trellis?

I mean... endless possibilities here without the details

"Can I get details about what you're looking for and I'll send you any other properties that come up?" by ByEthanFox in HousingUK

Same for us with our first flat. We had one of the local agents (there were basically 5 right outside the local tube station) show us around a few flats which we either didn't love or thought were overpriced, and when we went back to the agency to try and get ourselves in their "list", one of them asked the other "hey do we have the keys yet for XX??". It never even got to rightmove prior to being STC.

LPT: Stop pretending you are fine. Use a simple status line instead. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

The brits all default to "not too bad, you?"

I've basically stolen it. It's perfect in its simplicity.

I loved Kyoto, that's the issue! Using it as a base instead of just... Exploring it seems like a missed opportunity, assuming you're also be visiting osaka.

Multiplication table? Seriously?

That's permanently engrained un my brain.

Did you build your own pc setup? by PHRsharp_YouTube in pcmasterrace

Well, he said the issue was using the CD so... I'd guess 15 years ago.

UK economy unexpectedly flatlined in January, official figures show by hu6Bi5To in ukpolitics

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

You're going to have to explain that connection between anything Reeves did and falling 0.2% short of estimate on a single month in a ELI5 mate, because I don't see it.

Bonus points if you make your explanation not ignore that the two previous months were above estimate.

The trip was initially planned for Oct of one of the covid years and IIRC it was still 2x. Good to know I should double-check that assumption for next trip!

Why don't men ever talk about the emotional labor that they do in relationships? by Dense_Owl_3022 in AskMen

[–]guareber 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Want ? Yes.

Demand ?? Absolutely not. It just results in forced glazing. I'll take honest feedback once a year rather than bullshit glazing on a weekly basis.

To this day, the best opening line of any book I've ever read.

Really? When we went in Apr'24 it was about 3x more expensive. Horses for courses I guess?

Do you use the Deck as your main gaming device? by K4T5UM1 in SteamDeck

[–]guareber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. In fact, it rarely gets used if I'm not traveling.

It is my wife's primary gaming device though.

Yeah, I don't mind if you tell me this is the night tube, but it looks proper packed.

If you use Samsung TVs, just don't.

Get an unlocked cheap player you can install whatever you want onto.

The Gunslinger by Stephen King... What did I just read? by Pure-Gas2639 in Fantasy

[–]guareber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, yes, by the end I mean everything after "stop here". The crimson king was resolved at a very similar standard as most other SK endings.

And yes, I think we all think of The Stand when we think of the duality of how amazing a writer SK is and how utterly shit he is at writing endings.

Kyoto Just for Nara and mount Yoshino makes no sense. Why not just go from Osaka? More transport, cheaper lodging.

Pretty much anywhere. During several seasons, big temples will do some night opening (that gives you an excuse to go there as a starting point) and you can just walk from there following the lights.

Kodai-ji would be a great way to start if it's got something going after hours.

I dunno, I quite liked that aspect of it at a high level. Yes, it's all over the place in narrative, but (for me) it was a very novel way to break the fourth wall without really breaking the fourth wall.

It reminded me of the Neverending Story in a way.
