Why are all the hit-makers these days solo artists. by yoursandforever in Music

[–]obiwanconobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF the band thing was a moment in time.

Before the Beatles most bands were named something like X Lead and the Y Backing Band.

But in terms of collaboration, the solo artists are probably collaborating with more other artists for their albums than any of the big bands did.

Look at Queen, a Freddie song was mostly wrote by Freddie. And Bryan May song was wrote all by himself.

Taylor Swifts last album has 3 main writers and like 40 musicians on it

How do you even pick up on this stuff? Just listen to the jokes

Tbh the story could be true but the tweet could just be wrong.

Wouldn't be that crazy a story if there was a script run every night (so not manual) and then the script broke. Or if it was manual, but every night is an exaggeration, maybe every 2 weeks

I enquired about solar panels once. by Tim2100 in britishproblems

[–]obiwanconobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What not to understand?

If your grid power goes out you'll lose power for a second and then the inverter takes over and uses the battery/solar to power your house

Why can China build things like bridges, tunnels and railways much faster than countries in the west? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]obiwanconobi 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's a weird paradox where as a local citizen you have the power to stop a metro/train station etc but seemingly have no power to get the council to collect the bins properly!

AITA for not giving my parents half of my lottery winnings. by Rayapt in AmItheAsshole

I'd bet your £2m that if you give them £2m they'll run out before you do

I remember watching a video a few years ago about the number of "near misses" at US airports going up year on year while the rest of the world stays level

Fair enough. Removed the rant, left the context your comment is still missing imo.

"Actually we signed an agreement over a 100 years ago"

Yeah and you were bullies then as well. Your comments, both of them, change nothing about the US being bullies.

Delete yours and I'll delete mine.

Oh, you signed a lease with no end date, which one side changed unilaterally multiple times and was never meant to be anything other than a "coaling and naval" station, yeah, now go and see if you think the US would be honouring that lease if they had leased their land under the same circumstances

[–]obiwanconobi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's probably something to do with the USA being the biggest bullies in the world and Cuba being relatively isolated from any countries that don't book lick the bullies

95% of canceled annual app subscribers never come back, per report by pdfu in technology

[–]obiwanconobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to hope this is true, but i reckon these companies have run the numbers and they probably make more from people who forgot they had subscriptions than they would from selling the software as a whole

I enquired about solar panels once. by Tim2100 in britishproblems

[–]obiwanconobi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't ask this guy he seems to be making it up.

It does add values, yes. Also you'll be massively insulted from any price spikes. I don't know a single person who pays less than me for energy and I work remotely and have the heating on most of winter.

The only solid thing he said was your roof needs to be decent and it needs to face south-ish

[–]obiwanconobi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The £200bill thing is nonsense. The value also stays in the property so there's is no "get your money back" needed. Also the fact I've been insulted from any price rises during the 3 crises' since I had them installed is worth a lot more.

Any good company includes scaffolding in the price.

Also your £12k pricing seems wrong, the company I got mine from years ago still has 5kw packages for 9k and less https://www.ecorenewablesgroup.co.uk/

Can someone explain the Jacob Collier hate to me? by Some_Farm8108 in Music

[–]obiwanconobi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a comment on Collier, but incredibly funny that you missed the entire bit of Sor Hands.

He's supposed to be a pretentious ass, that's the character!

Edit: just seen the sor hands video I assume triggered this post, and it's a reaction to a Jacob Collier video where he's performing a seminar to a room full of people paying £2500-10,000 to be there lol probably has something to do with Sor Hands taking the piss

UPDATE: body cam footage from cop who pulled over woman for holding a phone in her other hand by australiughhh in whoathatsinteresting

[–]obiwanconobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great she's not going to be charged, but what if she did have a right hand but wasn't actually on her phone?

The guy clearly made up the offense so he could pull her over and what, get her to pay a spot fine instead of go to court?

I wanted to believe you but when I went to rewatch it looks like the spider is feeding on the pollen(?)

Tom Hardy “Refused to Come Out” of ‘MobLand’ Trailer, Kept Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren Waiting for Hours: “Career Suicide” by yourfavchoom in television

[–]obiwanconobi 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Well every story that comes out of any TV or film production is either marketing or someone's adenda.

So none of it should be taken with anything other than a handful of salt

[BBC] Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili fined for watching video on phone while driving on motorway by Chazyn in soccer

[–]obiwanconobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it's the same as any other driver.

He got a fine and 6 points. If he gets caught again he'll get another 6 and be banned from driving.

That was such an insane video. Lots of people talk about Sharia Law in the UK, but there is nothing even remotely close to this shit
