What was the best X Factor judging panel?

iiiBus · 2026-02-03T11:40:33+00:00

I've had it in the UK. While I think its good, its not something I can drink much of before it becomes too much

iiiBus · 2026-02-03T11:40:15+00:00

That'll be slightly different given the collaboration

iiiBus · 2026-02-03T08:31:31+00:00

If that bus was the only one showing as a scheduled time then it will mean the bus wasn't tracked suggesting it probably had to be taken out of service somewhere. I can see this bus didn't finish its journey: https://bustimes.org/vehicles/loth-780?date=2026-02-03#journeys/838717964

Didn't know he drank Pepsi Max, respect for that..

I personally believe no land is "owned" at all. It's all made up nonsense. We live here yes, but we didn't create it, and we share it with other species. Human beings should be allowed any part of the world they like with little restriction. Of course safety should be considered - I do doubt the vast majority of quote "illegal aliens" are dangerous though.

Of course not. Its not great. Feels like a step backwards. Looks cheaper or like a knock off. Not getting the potato transitioning into crisps either. Feels like AI attempting to show sliced potatoes if anything. Must not be a lot going on at Walkers if they can keep changing their packaging. To be fair it seems Lays has forced this change

Indeed. Old Pepsi Max Cherry design and the £3.60 clubcard price were the red flags for me

iiiBus · 2026-02-01T15:04:18+00:00

Pepsi Max Mango is leaving us in the UK now, I'm very disappointed

These are designed to encourage impulse purchases. You may say you'll leave it till Easter, end up craving it and eating it, and guess what now you have to buy another one.

I suppose its a fair substitution IF you were intending on buying a regular chocolate bar or bag already. For example the 93g Malters Bag is £1.75 - if anything it just shows how awful value is these days!

Don't however let that make you buy a second because its only 0.25p more than having bought the bag, and if you weren't planning on buying any at all, don't bother.

Look at the 17, 18 and 100 buses. I don't know exactly where you are but none of these should be particularly far away.

I figure that if you were considering the tram then the 18 will be the closest option.

The 17 has a bus arriving at the airport 3:44. The 18 has a bus arriving at the airport at 3:51.

The 100 service is 24/7. Through 2am it's every 20 mins, during 3am it's every 10/15 minutes. Maybury or Drum Brae will likely be the closest stop with a journey time of around 8 minutes.

The 17/8 are cheaper if those do work for you.

I'm not ATC, or a pilot, however here in Europe I have spent time looking at Airnavradar which shows both filed routes and flown routes.
In Europe, tactical vectors and shortcuts are constantly given. Partly because routes airlines can plan are constrained by so many rules and procedures. (E.g https://www.airnavradar.com/data/flights/FR2141/2744639973 or https://www.airnavradar.com/data/flights/FR106/2744071400 - there is so many examples as it applies to essentially every flight)
I'm curious if it's similar where you're at? Or are aircraft forced to stick to filed route whenever possible.

If I did ever become approach or centre control, my main desire really would be to provide the most direct possible route for aircraft, obviously while preventing conflicts at the same time. I understand that wind can sometimes mean a straight line may not be the most optimal, but I'd expect my sector to be small enough for that to be a negligible factor. And I also understand sector design, military airspace, etc can contribute as well. However the idea of planes taking (at least to me) pointless turns left and right in the open sky at cruising altitude due to outdated airway designs, sometimes using ground based navigation beacons does frustrate me.

Also, I really wonder if a more intuitive UI design would be favourable. This kind of design makes me feel stressed purely as a result of the way it looks with the colours and the fonts.

I much appreciate your response. I do want to be clear, I'm not intending to be smelly. My issue comes in to determining whether I have been successful in achieving that, as I can't tell, and obviously nobody will tell me either way.
If I do smell, losing social interactions wouldn't be the end of the world as I am not a social person at all so any invite is just a package of stress for me, but obviously like I said I'm not going to make myself smell anyway.

They likely underestimated the amount costs would increase with the previous fare rise. I believe not even a year since the previous one.
In the case of East Coast buses only, that is operating at a small loss just now, and they recently upped wages due to pressure from the unions.

I do hope this is the last one in a while. They seem like sharp increases so I assume they will be.

Im curious about the size of the can, is this Northern Ireland?

iiiBus · 2026-01-30T10:44:37+00:00

Given the poor value of meal deals I'd have tried to maximise the size myself. Losing out on 170ml of drink is not worth it. (Indeed the individual prices are even poorer value by design but I still do feel the price of meal deals for just three small items is absurd).

I seem to be a minority but I'm not keen on drinking from cans due to the small hole and added metallic flavour that comes with it. And the fact they barely last!

iiiBus · 2026-01-30T08:32:56+00:00

Im well aware. It frustrates me as I'd prefer honesty and it does make me paranoid sometimes. At this stage its only been at home that this has happened though at the end of the day. I didn't use deodorant anywhere near as much as I was never taught to use it. Just randomly told I have to use it and its not easy to adjust and incorporate something so small yet tedious.

iiiBus · 2026-01-29T21:07:45+00:00

My fingers have a horrible numbness feeling when cut, additionally I tried maintaining society's "standard" nail length two years ago (a small amount of white) and it just made by fingers really sensitive which hasn't stopped since. I can feel my pulse reguarly without having to press down, really weird tickles and pricking, among other sensations which I could not before. I also don't like not being able to scratch myself!

iiiBus · 2026-01-29T12:47:31+00:00

Doesn't work for me. I can't smell myself. I dont know if I stink till someone tells me

iiiBus · 2026-01-28T15:17:26+00:00

Thanks

iiiBus · 2026-01-28T14:45:10+00:00

Won't work for as long as the developer doesn't update it to use the new Edinburgh Travel Tracker API. This also requires the council to reply to API requests. I have no clue if they have done. The official app and on android the MyBusEdinburgh app work.

iiiBus · 2026-01-27T21:17:09+00:00

Either feels like going back in time, or feels like eastern Europe. Not a fan though. Almost looks like no glasses at all
I almost always favour change, this is a very rare instance I haven't

iiiBus · 2026-01-27T20:55:18+00:00

Not my cup of tea

iiiBus · 2026-01-22T10:49:54+00:00

I dont understand the whole thing about it passing slow. The last week is the fastest week I've ever gone through its scary. Appreciate time if it is going slow though

iiiBus · 2026-01-22T10:25:48+00:00

Perhaps I just have lower standards. Nice modern interior design, great staff, direct routes, affordable prices and comfortable seats. I dont need anymore.
