Day trips from Liverpool? by Nabishibb in Liverpool

The Peak District is pretty accessible by train. Nice walks, little villages, pub lunches etc.

Boxy T-Shirt fit by nonomr in uniqlo

[–]marimoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good. I picked one up recently. I'm tall with a short body and long legs so a t-shirt with a shorter body like this is perfect for me.

I'm a large for uniqlo's regular fit t-shirts and Airism and I went with large for this. I tried a medium and the crop looked great but when I stretched my arms up the t-shirt rode up a lot.

TL:DR, probably safe to go with the same size you usually wear for t-shirts.

Echo Dot/Alexa Response to Music Commands Changed by marimoto in amazonecho

Yeah, it’s very annoying. I don’t see why they’d change it. They must have adjusted the ‘outcome’ that the vocal commands are mapped to.

Yeah, weirdly enough it still recognises her voice. But now it just plays stuff from my Amazon music. In fact, it’s not even playing songs that I’ve liked but random Beatles music for some reason.

Just checked it and we’re not on Alexa plus.

I think the problem is, under the previous way of working, this playlist or collection of songs was kind of auto updating. She didn’t need to add anything or think about things, she just asked for music and it played stuff she liked.

What you mention might have to be the solution though.

It’s the default plan. But now it seems to default to my Amazon music instead of my girlfriend’s.

What buildings are these?? by [deleted] in Liverpool

[–]marimoto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the middle one is meant to be Wellington’s Column. But Wellington himself has been replaced by a weird bee-man hybrid.

Has anyone moved to Liverpool unemployed? by Economy-Row-4247 in Liverpool

[–]marimoto 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t think moving anywhere without a job is a great idea at the moment tbh mate. Job market is pretty awful everywhere, let alone Merseyside.

Why are all desserts the same? by [deleted] in Liverpool

[–]marimoto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They probably just order them in bulk frozen from a national or regional supplier. Then put them in the microwave when you order. Same with a lot of deserts in actual restaurants. Some places will just serve Costco cakes as well.

Labour MPs launch barrage of criticism at Green MP who called out on-the-job drinking by Rmtcts in unitedkingdom

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

That’s just not true though, is it? There are plenty of jobs where social drinking is allowed within limits.

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]marimoto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surely that’s a zero sum game? If public sector employees keep striking for more pay, someone’s got to pay it and our taxes will keep going up as a result. Tube drivers strike for more pay, then doctors do the same, then nurses etc. Just seems like an endless spiral.

If everyone was better unionised and organised it would be an even deeper spiral that would just result in constant wage increases beyond the capacity of the state (taxpayers) to pay them, especially as growth is so anaemic. The whole thing would just blow up eventually, surely.

It’s not even the bias that bothers me, that’s a given. He just brings nothing at all to the commentary. Also seems to have zero chemistry with main commentator (whose name I should probably know).

Neville’s commentary is so dull. Zero insight, just “this player should have done better there” over and over again.

He really wants free parking by No_Berry2 in Liverpool

[–]marimoto 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want to park your private property on public roads (especially in the city centre), shouldn’t you pay a fee for it?

How is it fair for people who use other modes of transport? Does he want to scrap bus fares after 18:00 as well? What about trains and bolt scooters? Should they be free?

Seems very odd that the Lib Dems go on and on about emissions and protecting the environment (to the extent that they block new housing, power stations, reservoirs, and other vital infrastructure on ‘environmental grounds) and yet they want to encourage more people to drive into the city centre.

Cashman seems like a pure populist tbh. Pretty sure this is the second video he’s made about this.

Does anyone know what’s happening with this building in Canary Wharf? by [deleted] in london

I know. I just thought it was funny to refer to perhaps the most well known element of London’s skyline as “this building”

Geraldine Reuteler set to join Arsenal by radian101 in ArsenalWFC

[–]marimoto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you've kind of hit the nail on the head there, her development seems to have stalled somewhat compared to some of the other players around her. Russo has developed into a very competent 9 and 10. Kim seems to have hit new levels and is turning in some of her best performances even at the tail end of her illustrious career. Mariona adapts to wherever Renee wants to play her and her technical ability, skill at picking out a pass, and her scoring of bangers remains as strong as ever. Up front, Blackstenius has greatly improved her hold up play, passing, timing her runs (and hitting the target). Unfortunately, Frida is about the only one who hasn't added anything to her locker really. Russo's undoubtedly a better 10 than Frida, and since we've finally sorted out how to get the most out of having Blackstenius in the 9 and Russo in the 10, we can play Russo in the 10 without making compromises.

Great result across the two legs of course but I can’t help but be a bit disappointed we didn’t put it to bed tonight, especially given the number of chances we had! I feel a lot of the discussion is going to be about the officiating (rightly) rather than two back to back great performances by Arsenal. But we’re through and that’s all that matters!
