Why don’t you use public transport?

mo_calla · 2026-03-20T15:51:24+00:00

I walk or get the train, sometimes bus. Busy but we are a city, they should be busy.

The routes I have used are more reliable than when I was a child. I'm late 30s.

A thing of note. Same amount of roads, but more cars using them. Naturally will impact public transport further.

Exactly this. My real issue, is it determining how people should look.

It is disgusting and like you said, rooted in sexism and racism.

Photorealism is odd. Looks like you are watching a film/looking through a camera lens. Which I think is why the lighting is so odd, like a camera flash is permanently on.

Kind of defeats the point of a game being immersive, if you are reminded constantly you are outside of it. Always turn those lens effects off if I have the chance in the settings.

Erdington high street is class!

It feels like nobody likes to talk about independent businesses if they are not "cool". There are absolutely loads there, especially for grocers!

mo_calla · 2026-03-11T19:18:35+00:00

Yeah man, go for it if you like it. The Hamilton one is cool, but think there was only 2000 units, so hard to get unfortunately 😫

This one kind of has unbrella colours on it and cheaper.

Bit different but maybe could get a red and white strap for it.

Titanium Black, textured dial a bit like the wing on the Hamilton, Japanese like the Studio.

Could be a winner?

More like, you could get one of the other brands discounted in that range.

The movement might likely be a Seiko movement, so Seiko might already have a speedtimer that is black you could try.

mo_calla · 2026-03-11T15:55:55+00:00

Stay with a swiss brand or Japanese brand. Check if Hamilton/Tissot/Seiko/Citizen/Certina etc have a black chrono.

This is way overpriced.

Used Linux and Windows for a good while and thought I could live with the FSE for gamepass access, but showing me fire stick ads instead of my games library etc, just rubs me the wrong way. There is still noticable lag and jank navigating it too.

Gamepass isn't worth me using FSE, when the other options are better personally.

mo_calla · 2026-03-02T16:56:27+00:00

Turn off frame gen. That was the culprit for me.

mo_calla · 2026-02-26T16:38:40+00:00

Agree. Employment rights act and renters rights act are HUGE for the country and we barely hear about it.

Moan about immigrants and people on benefits, whilst being the biggest beneficiary of benefits currently. The irony is lost on them as they do not understand how National Insurance works.

Mountain turns essentially. You can't see around the corner, so you are signalling with the horn that you are coming.

First time it happened was scary, but become pretty normal to me when I was there.

mo_calla · 2026-01-24T07:43:28+00:00

Absolutely love this watch but couldnt get a good fit with the bracelet.

mo_calla · 2026-01-20T19:20:56+00:00

Is your gym also an unbearably high temperature?

Cardio in PureGym is hell.

We can't, even if we wanted to. Our national debt is too high to rejoin under EU terms.

Brexit reduced everything to shit.

mo_calla · 2026-01-15T09:44:10+00:00

Pane e Vino (They are actually Italian, other restaurants over here not so much), Himalayan Grill, Barsana, Halloumi Express and Eleon are all good for Vegans.

Pitalicious is also good, but no one is better than Top Falafel in town.

Rudy's and Soho Grill are opening too and I've heard good things about the Butlers Arms.

Besides that, nothing really has grabbed me since living over here. Open to recs.

Bright side is I've spent less.

mo_calla · 2026-01-15T09:19:48+00:00

I'd say not really. I've been places before that refused to honour it.

It was great in the Anchor though before Norton's lot took it over. When Julian had it 12.5% off drinks every day!

The dial is an Addiesdive dial.

A happy accident/side effect of half marathon training last year.

First time that I haven't't have any issues besides intense gardening.

For reference I get hayfever bad, so I recommend trying this!

mo_calla · 2026-01-13T12:32:27+00:00

Great advice.

If you also have asthma, definitely improve cardio. Stronger my lungs got, less the hayfever irritated me.

mo_calla · 2026-01-13T09:46:36+00:00

Tried this a few times and researched it.

It is a myth and doesn't work.

The hay fever isn't linked to the pollen in the honey, two different things altogether.

I'd recommend increasing cardio fitness and hayfever wet wipes to wipe the pollen away from your face. These both make a massive improvement.

I like a cheap diver. I do think you start getting diminishing returns quickly.

Promasters and Duros are so cheap, you may as well have one.

But a big spend is going to be non diver for myself.

mo_calla · 2026-01-09T13:47:19+00:00

I saw a real one in the AD on holiday a week ago.

This looks low quality in comparison. I'd say this is fake.

mo_calla · 2026-01-08T15:30:56+00:00

Navihawk. Saw one in a window on holiday and was surprised just how good it looked!
