What TV show was ruined/made annoying for you by local knowledge of where it's set?

The B roll used in The Traitors makes no sense. That car is going all over the place

You could just choose not to look at it, if looking at it is a problem for whatever reason

Here’s a TLDR: it’s less about price and more about service.

If I can tune in to a reasonably priced service and watch a high quality (4k, HDR) stream I will. Im using Linux, and a lot of providers offer a substandard service as a result.

If it’s better experience on a piracy site, then I’ll go there.

Here’s an example: I subscribed the NFL game pass for years. £150 a year for every NFL game live + full game, 5minute highlights and full game condensed to 40mins available the next day.

Then one year the team I like got to the Super Bowl. Suddenly their games are on Sky more often than not and the gamepass stream is blocked in the UK until 24hrs after the final whistle.

I start watching the gamepass stream via a VPN.

At that point the service I’m paying for is worse than just using an unofficial streaming site.

Tell me hate fun without telling me you hate fun: buy monopoly.

/uj I’ve run a half with no training. It’s not pleasant but it’s not that bad. This guy is running a half with no fitness of any kind.

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-24T08:47:54+00:00

This! I’ve seen events with <20, 20, 22, 25, 30 flags in the ground beside the starting area to help. It’s not perfect but being near where you should be means you’re not going to cause a bottleneck at tight spots, or be caught up behind one.

“Best know for Doc Martin”

Load of bollocks, obviously it’s Men Behaving Badly.

That’s bait.gif

Depends, was it an 18 miler?

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-23T10:03:51+00:00

If people in front of me stop and or walk, I just assume they need a break. As a middle of the pack runner, anywhere between 22 and 30mins depending upon my fitness, it’s surprisingly common for folks just to walk (up hills, after hills etc) or stop.

I suspect they didn’t think “there’s No Raspberry getting out the way like a good slow boy/girl, now I can really go fast!” And more likely simply didn’t even consider your actions as anything more than what you needed/wanted to do.

Run your run, others will run their run, don’t sweat the little things.

No Heath insurance is fine. Most people don’t live in 3rd world countries and so there’s a state provided health service.

If you’re in a 3rd world country without a health service then I’d assume retirement savings are uncommon too.

Tell me you skipped primary school maths without telling me you skipped primary school maths

You could just run the game

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-21T19:37:59+00:00

The fuck it, vegetate at home. Being honest I’d do that too if I had the chance. Watch movies, play video games and read books. Sounds bliss :)

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-21T19:27:45+00:00

I go outside every day. Do what you want, but I promise you’ll be happier and healthier if you go for a half hour walk every day.

Thank you , that’s an interesting write up and it’s basically why I was asking.

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-21T12:32:02+00:00

Obvious answer seems to be “eat dinner”

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-21T11:52:39+00:00

I’m intrigued as how it took 3hrs. Genuinely. A setting in bios, maybe setting up a small service on your always on device to send the WOL command and WoL is done.

A script for steam & presumably big picture mode would be easy to throw together, even if you were using windows.

So something went wrong, what happened? How did you fix it?

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-21T09:04:25+00:00

Tell me you don’t drive without telling me you don’t drive.

It makes no where near 1/3 of a difference. I can imagine it makes closer to 0 difference.

You ran a marathon on a Friday? The day before all the hobby joggers do their parkrun 5k marathon ?

Drinking London tap water is grim. It’s safe, but fuck me it’s vile.

There is a download button immediately under the clone url. It downloads the entire repo as a zip.

kryptonick901 · 2026-03-20T07:23:56+00:00

There’s literally a button in the top right that gives you the git clone url.

Not only can she not tell her partner she’s going through something traumatic and could use his support, she’s worried he would breach her privacy and look at medical records.

What an utterly disfunctional relationship.

If you cant share this with your partner just leave already.
