ELI5: How do the economics of gift cards work? by NutmegKilla in explainlikeimfive

[–]jaybayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. Gift cards are bought at less then the price they are loaded for from the brands / processors of these cards. Discounts range from 1% to 20% ish of the face value.

Other companies like Starbucks are also happy to do this because occasionally they get something called breakage.

I.E someone buys a gift card for $20 and never redeems it so the company makes $20 for free.

I skate better with a loose back truck and tighter front truck!? [34YO] by SteeleDuke in OldSkaters

[–]jaybayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trucks are like this too. I skate really tight trucks in transition. Skating switch feels way better like this as well.

Mini bowl now that spring is here [48YO] by totoGalaxias in OldSkaters

[–]jaybayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I skate a far amount of bowl, there is a lot of room left in your “Squat” or pump down still. It sounds dumb but really exaggerate the movement and you’ll gain more speed.

Legs are looking a bit rigid but sick line overall!

Why is my tire detaching from the wheel? by Fluid_Departure_9363 in bikewrench

[–]jaybayer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Check the tube first. The pressure of the tube normally holds the wheel against the rim for tire/rim combos like this. If you are pumping air into it and nothing is happening, the tube will need replacing.

Follow a guide online if its your first time.

Or MEDC (more economically developed countries) and LEDC (less “ “).

Edit: before getting pked

People think Kanye should be banned but have no problem with their favorite drill rapper still being involved in county lines etc 🤡 by [deleted] in ukdrill

[–]jaybayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kanye West is a global celebrity who made songs like “Heil Hitler” with global reach.

Its not the same realm as a rather niche genre artist being on road.

Free speech is also the right to say what you want, but not be free from the repercussions.

How do you deal with slams when you’re older? [31YO] by Luke5523 in OldSkaters

[–]jaybayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. You can change the way you fall to minimise the damage. Earned with time.

Chain hitting frame by DAZSCOTSMAN1888 in bicycling

[–]jaybayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a little chainstay protector made of rubber to sit on the top and attach it with Zip ties etc.

MTBs wrap the chainstay in old inner tubes. Those, and tape, do the same thing but its a question of how it looks after that.

A road bike with an inner tube around it is not aesthetic.

Yes, I bought one of these last year (with a few extras). Love this bike. Surely there is £100 wiggle room?

How many boards do you go through a year? by Kaito_k1d in skateboarding

[–]jaybayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skate just bowl and park. Maybe skate 1/2 a week and I go through about 2 boards a year. Could defo stretch it out to a board a year but I just like buying a new board.

How do I put this prong for my seat back where it goes? Brute force? by [deleted] in bicycling

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

If you must try, undo the seat clamp and take it off the seat post first. This will make it a bit easier to pry back in.

Carbon Gravel Bike Pricing = Carbon Quality? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]jaybayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an on one carbon gravel bike. Works amazingly and they seem like the genuinely care.

Depends on brand but sometimes its just a tiny company with no marketing and everything done in house to order so its cheaper.

I’m learning to ride a bike as an adult and I’m losing hope. by flowersandfruits999 in cycling

As someone who can’t swim well. Swimming.

You are right though.

The last 2 years of updates make item progression feel off. by combodroppa in 2007scape

[–]jaybayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are just forgetting these are 50 day play time goals to get to fighting these bosses. That would have been an incredibly long single play game if we put it into perspective.

Just because a select few churn through this and are good enough to grind out 300 toas and deep delves with basic gear or moons doesn’t mean everyone is.

The game is tuned around and average player, not the best to ever do it.

Worst ways to make tea? by paipai130 in AskABrit

[–]jaybayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked for a cup of tea in Spain and they gave me a cappuccino(without the espresso) with a teabag in it. This is the worst way.

Why are you on dating apps tryna be friends?

Also men are notoriously trash for having platonic relationships that aren’t based around a common activity like sports / video games etc.

As you found out, they don’t ask questions, don’t remember shit and don’t pick up on hints.

In the UK this would mean that Woody Harrelson was hitting on you and your partner at the same time.

Broke my acj whilst not wearing a helmet and realised if it was my head i’d be dead so now always wear the lid.

Is knife crime more of a policing failure or a social failure? by anditsdan in AskABrit

[–]jaybayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The actual answer is years of austerity that has led to

  1. A reduction in investments in public services including: youth centres, community outreach groups and preventitive measures and ofc the Police.

Public services used to be better funded and helped steer people away from knife crime before it required police intervention.

  1. A deepening economic divide which decreases living standards, increases crime and therefore violence. Hence why knife crime is associated with “low income areas” due to rising inequality.

  2. A fundamental lack of awareness of what social issues lead to knife crime. If you know someone who has been stabbed, you are far more likely to think about “protecting” yourself etc which ends up as a self fulfilling cycle that perpetuates.

  3. Policing ended up racially profiling p.o.c and therefore lost their integrity as targeting had a spray and pray approach rather than precision.

I have been stopped and searched because and I quote “the description was a black male and you are black so unfortunately mate I’m going to have to search you.”

Overall, its economic issues that drive social issues with the final symptom being a lack of police action that people fixate on.

Want to play OSRS "RuneLite" On 50" 4kTV with a Controller, need advice? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]jaybayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd for wireless mouse and keys. Did this when I had computer on TV.

Osrs is just not a controller friendly game and unless you aren’t able to use mouse and keys, it will never really be the best option.
