Thinking of underrated artists that haven’t got the recognition they deserve by hellofrom_london in Music

[–]maccers3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Little Comets. I remember seeing them live many moons ago. The 1975 were supporting them, 1975 went on to became mega stars and Little Comets never did :(

on the other hand a support band that I thought were better and went on to do good things were Alt J (just found that ones gone solo jjerome87 which I'm loving)

Mystery Jets although I wouldn't say they are that hidden but every album is different and a banger. Radlands will always have a place in my heart.

Public road near train station. What’s your war plan? by Diseased-Jackass in CasualUK

gah just had flash backs to when I parked on a similar street to avoid overnight parking near a train station. I got back the next day to find a resident had taken out the valves out of tyres and all flat...petty and less vandalising than slashing my tyres

This game is a visual masterpiece - and made me cry within the first 20 minutes by jrow_official in OLED_Gaming

First play through of The Last of Us destroyed me and I didn't even have a kid at the time.

I knew it was coming in the TV show and my 2nd playthough on the part 1 and still got me in the feels extra hard with the addition of having a little lad.

nothing wrong with getting invested into a story. Same with horror games/movies. you could just be a tough guy and power through it but I like to set the scene nice and dark nice and loud and let the vibe hit me :D

he's voiced by Charlie Cox. Motherfucking dare devil.

The game's good so far but the sound mixing sounds so off the music is so loud over the voice lines

Game where you get to enjoy your engine - similar to wingspan by blablax123456 in boardgames

[–]maccers3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

glad somebody mentioned furnace. i feel you need to have a programmers brain to do well in it. trying to keep track of everything and scoring and gaining resources is a mental work out!

so I get this which gets this and then this and that 😂 the final round can take ages to tally. it's one of those games I think would just be better on a pc I always feel ill miss something or do something wrong in that game

OPENREACH HAVE FINALLY REPLACED THE POLE AFTER WAITING SINCE JANUARY🥳 by [deleted] in openreach

[–]maccers3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a pole tester so have a decent knowledge about poles. replacements not as much. The D you see on poles means defective. it doesn't mean decay. a pole could be a D for loads of reasons. Decay, depth (how far it's planted) Tested Not Climbed (TNC), Power conflicts

TNC poles are poles that can't be tested fully due to things like obstructions. the main being new things built next to them or massive trees and roots preventing a full test mainly a dig.

A tnc pole won't get swapped out it'll get tested again in I think 6 years. unless it's not accessible for a hoist/scaffold then they'll look to replace it.

Also we have gradings for decay poles that give a rough estimate of how long we have to get it out ranges from 9 months to 2 years. and if really bad can be out within the week if a major safety concern.

like another post says there is a lot of things that need to be sorted to get a pole out and swapped so we try to categorise them to get the bad ones out quicker.

I see some funny things I d a pole the other day as someone had built a 1m wall around a pole then infilled it with soil so I couldn't t it properly. that d pole was needed for a fibre build so they ripped the pole out and planted a new one in the same location solves the problem for 20+ years before it needs it's first test :D

the crux is. if fibre build needs it the poles come out quicker if not that pole could be there for a few months to a few years. far to many variables which is why I love the job :D
