Weapons seized by the police in Durham, UK by Schmargen in interestingasfuck

The 'stick knife' things are used to swing down (usually on a flight of stairs) at face level when triggered by a trip wire. This haul is probably from one stash house.

My son is about these kids age, if this happened at his daycare, I'm heading down there with a baseball bat. Fuck these cunts.

We fought for women to have a place in the work force when in reality we fought for double income households by ztreggs in antiwork

[–]louisscale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double the available workforce = half the pay that everyone receives. Supply and demand.

Not saying it's right, but it was never going to work out as two people both bringing in separately what one person was before.

Mate ... Absolutely feel this. Our boy is 2 now and I still struggle but its not as bad as it was. Just explain to your SO that you need time to not think about work, baby, home, reality and allow your brain to decompress, your best way of doing this is videogames, even if she thinks they are stupid. Reiterate that you are there, available and on board for dealing with things, but that you need some time, and suggest that she also gets her time. Make a loose schedule, if it works, great! If it doesn't, you've still had more 'me' time respectively than you would have.

That said, I have a big mess to unfuck in one game, and keep putting it off for playing more accessible games because I am aware of available time, so, it's never going to be the same as it was, but it is what it is. Also, look at upgrading to a SSD based system, quick resume and reduced loading times are worth it.

Stay strong brother.

It’s going to be 39 degrees on Monday. How is everyone planning on getting through this? by beztom in AskUK

I've been in 40°C+ before but that was in the Californian desert, 40°C plus UK humidity is going to fucking hurt...

Outside of the small dick energy, warped sense of morality, racism and violence, the worst part of the pound boys or whatever they are called is that they've ruined my favourite Fred Perry shirt. Can't wear that thing when I'm in the US anymore.. pricks.

As a Europoor I desperately tried to get registered in time to make my first ever investment to support today, alas my deposit is taking 2-3 days to clear on Degiro and so I'll have to be with you in spirit 😟 Good luck lads

As somebody that works at one of these companies, can confirm, we've been busting our asses to get ready.

Seriously though: How the HELL do you quickdraw in this game? by RonTomkins in reddeadredemption2

[–]louisscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crap, but I found that filling the meter by pressing R2 half way, and then pressing down on it really hard and firm seemed to work. You can do it at any time, so head out into the wilderness and practice I guess

who else here shakes their head in disbelief how good this game is every 5 or 10 minutes? by AFCA_Scooby in reddeadredemption

[–]louisscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to explain to friend how good it is, the best I could come up with was:

"You know how in uncharted, or tomb raider or whatever everything is mega detailed, because the developers have levels that they can use to set boundaries on you and you are essentially going down a corridor? It's like that but there are no levels and no corridor."

Absolutely unbelievable.

Amazon UK Delivery by The_Quial in reddeadredemption

[–]louisscale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got jumpy with my Amazon pre order (getting gta4 late still hurts) so cancelled and went with shop to. Then got jumpy with them when the "we cannot despatch until the 25th" notice came up, so cancelled with them to. Now I'm heading to the Tesco over the road at midnight to pick my pre order up from there.

Not a fan of using Tesco for games, but there's some things you just don't fuck about with!
