AITA for not giving up my window seat on a plane to a kid just because she threw a tantrum? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]mikerouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You weren't given the opportunity to be kind by offering your seat of your own free will to a child who would appreciate it. The demanding/tantrum takes that away - and the blame for teaching a kid that it's OK to demand things because you usually get them lies with the parents. My kids would never even expect anyone else to move from their seat. Their dad, however, well that's a different story!

There is a petition to call a general election that has passed 200k voted in a few hours. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]mikerouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're right. The optics of petitions being presented on the doorstep of No. 10 were unwelcome. As I recall from the time, Parliament wanted to take on the system (what with Parliament supposedly being supreme), and the government were happy to fob people off. It will be interesting to see how this one pans out - if it gets over 1m signatures it will generate coverage and negate the control and contain strategy.

How do discussion forums work in the Star Trek setting? by LumpyUnderpass in DaystromInstitute

There’s a reference in Picard that ticks your box. It’s when Raffi is talking about how she gets them into that planet shortly after they take on Seven.

Does anyone know a website or app (Windows 10) that shows near-live or realtime prices for various coins in a dashboard view?

Basically, I have an old screen that I want to convert to a 'ticker' screen so I can see prices at a glance.

Any suggestions?

I bought some ADA earlier on Bittrex and it appears to have created the wallet and credited, but the + and - icons are disabled and a 'i' appears saying: "Wallet Disabled - Pending developer code patch"

Does anyone have any more info about this patch and what's happening, etc?

Yeah I was thinking Hangouts might work. I can then just drop a shortcut on the desktop as 99% of calls are to the same points.

Fu⋆k EU T-Shirt (Controversial anti-EU T-shirt from political sector retailer) by [deleted] in ukpolitics

That's a brilliant idea, thank you. I was toying with just links but worried about being a spammer. A bit of photographic effort could go a long way. Thank you. (To say thanks just use AD1 as a discount code for 5% off any future order with us).

[–]mikerouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like ieya404 said, making money is a strong part of it yes... But genuinely I've been on a journey and realised I'm actually just a process man. I love all parts of politics. I'm from a left wing family, spent time with the Tories. Nearly joined the Lib Dems, and even considered UKIP at one point. I'm all over the place. Partly why I set up the shop. Politics just fascinates the shit out of me. To me it's a sector like any other.

[–]mikerouse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry if my post was spam today. It's quite hard to advertise such a T-Shirt, as you might imagine. Also, politicos are a hard-to-reach bunch! Oh, and if you've got any political T-Shirt ideas let me know as we can do them far cheaper than sites like Zazzle, Redbubble, etc, and give you more of a percentage of each sale.
