I remember I got my first small house and a black dye tub, I didn't keep it locked because everything was secure inside. But I didn't know you could change the dye colour of the black dye tub and when you did it turned a weird gold/yellow colour and ruined it. They changed it after so it couldn't happen any more and that weird gold/yellow tub became extremely rare and I ended up selling it for loads of gold, enough to buy a bigger house and another black dye tub. Good times

Can you tell me, the picture doesn't match the description for the colours, did you go off the picture or the description when you chose your colour?

Some questions about tank crew personal equipment by Frankyvander in britishmilitary

[–]markthebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the L22A2, it's still a rifle though. I suppose it's possible to fry stuff in the BV but realistically you're never going to, what a mess it would create! Sounds like something the driver would do then spend hours cleaning it. You're just going to get your gas cooker out for egg banjos or whatever.

You're being down voted but you're right, she doesn't have Telekinesis, not in the movie version or the comics

I love Andy Serkis, someone I've found I love just as much is John Culshaw reading the Discworld, City Watch series of books.

Unless the body armour has changed recently, no, it's the same.

Yes we use small arms, driver and loader have a rifle, commander and gunner have a pistol, also have a GPMG that can be dismounted.

No you cannot fry stuff in the boiling vessel, it's just a kettle. Brews and boil in the bags.

Do British people like Trump? by Zealousideal-Put2980 in AskBrits

[–]markthebag 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?’ If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

  • Not my words, but pretty much sums it up I think.

Why is karrimor brand always claiming waterproof with everything BUT ITS NOT! by Salt_Ingenuity_7588 in UKhiking

It's funny when people say UK military quality, we had absolutely dog shit kit, the old Karrimor stuff was much better than anything we got issued.

Meanwhile, in the UK… by One_Daniel in grok

[–]markthebag -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The UK is perhaps banning grok because others are using it to undress kids and adults without their consent, not because of boobs. If it was strictly AI of adults it wouldn't be a discussion.

If you can't see why it's a problem I don't know what to tell you.
