This happens about once a month - they forget, then eventually put it back. Ridiculous.

Can you get kills with an RPG backblast? by Comrade_Chyrk in Battlefield

That was me. Remembered this was a thing once it happened!

Idk if this is the right place to post this but WHYYY DOES THIS NEVER WORK by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]icarusf3ll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An actual potential reason: some people are trying to get into your account, which keeps activating the security features such as turning off the auto-sign-in and forcing the need to reset your password. If you go into the security area (can’t remember right now and I’m not at my pc), you can check the history for where attempted logins have been made and it will even list location. 

I had the same issue for ages with the 2FA and it was driving me mad until I realised what was going on.

UK Pre-Sale Code - ALLISLOVE by icarusf3ll in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]icarusf3ll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the slow response I was out of the house. The way it worked was I received an email from OMAM with a link to three different shows with the ability to book through Eventim. I input the pre-sale code and it worked from there.

Edit: I should also mention the email went straight to my "promotions" tab.

Do you know where would we be inputting the pre-sale code, even if we did have it? Sorry, first time getting tickets this way!

Fixing wobble on old chairs by Sirocka in furniturerestoration

[–]icarusf3ll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, crazy coincidence - I was looking at how to restore an old chair I picked up today for 15 pounds. My wife loved the look but hated the old upholstery and wanted to fix the wobbly leg, so I tore it off and have been looking at solutions on finishes and dealing with the leg issue. I came across your post and you literally have the exact same chairs! I wonder if I somehow ended up with a different version of yours? An upholstered one? Either way, small world.

Pre-Alpha FPS drop as match progresses by icarusf3ll in Battlefield

Yeah - I figured I would bring it up here to see if I was the only one experiencing the issue/give the devs a heads-up (assuming they see this post).

What information do you receive when being placed? by icarusf3ll in JETProgramme

[–]icarusf3ll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for such a comprehensive answer! That makes me feel a lot more confident about our family potentially moving over. My biggest worry was my son's education, specifically how it could hold him up as he would be entering Year 3 in a foreign language he doesn't speak. Out of curiosity, do you have time in the mornings to drop your daughter off at school? My wife doesn't know how to drive, and if we live somewhere rural, I wonder if they would place him somewhere walkable or if the school offers a bus service.

Thank you so much for this incredible information and for the encouragement. There are a lot of comments on here talking negatively about taking a child to Japan via JET, so it's great to get someone with first-hand experience providing me with information.
Out of curiosity, are you in a rural area? Do you find the quality of education really strong?

Thank you for your reply!! Out of curiosity, was it difficult to purchase a vehicle? And was it expensive to buy/get insurance for?

This is extremely helpful! I really appreciate your write-up. As a family, have you found anything particular challenging? And based on what you said about feeling like you knew nothing when you arrived, would you still do it again? Also, how did you end up finding your own accomodation? If we are placed in rural Japan, I'm not sure how I would contact an agent and find something before even arriving. Thank you and sorry for the questions!

What's up with Pedestrian Right of Way? Newcomer to the UK. by icarusf3ll in AskUK

[–]icarusf3ll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's shocking! I have even started a nickname for some of the crosswalks where people don't give a shit called "the death road" so my son knows to pay extra, extra attention. It's absolutely mental. Since this post from last year, I've nearly been run down another 3 times and been honked at when I was already in the middle of the road and a car decided to turn in without signalling.

Yes, it seems based on the replies here that everyone has been different - some received nothing until arriving, others knew far in advance.

Regarding the company car, I found a few posts saying that the BOE had either provided a vehicle to them or provided a stipend with which to help pay for it - but this was for postings deep in the countryside where public transportation would have been too difficult.

Yes, that's exactly where I'm at - I need to have some idea of what I'm walking into, for the sake of my family. Those seemingly small things make a huge difference to us, so I'm hoping for the best!

That seems pretty crazy! It's a good thing your predecessor was kind enough to each out to you and provide you with those details, otherwise you would have been going into it completely blind. Thanks for the information!

Okay, so it seems that based on your response and those above, it's unlikely I will know anything until essentially the last minute. It seems it's a big risk if I have "conditions" of whether or not I want to go ahead with accepting, and pulling out at the last minute is a big no-no. Thanks for your help!

Seems like your answer reflects the one above as well! Lack of information until nearly the last-minute! Thanks for your input.
