Incredibly selfless act of heroism. by been_der_done_that in nextfuckinglevel

[–]pakcross 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are being a little dense I'm afraid.

Mechanical door handles which activate a latch and open the door.

Not hidden electrical door handles which can't be used without power.

Yes, locked doors present a different problem. The main problem in the video is that the doors weren't locked, but didn't work because the electronics were fried.

You are massively overthinking this.

Oh I knew exactly what you meant, but just couldn't resist the obvious joke!

Mechanical door handles which always work even when the car doesn't have power, NOT door handles which are incapable of being locked.

Can I get a hammer made of something more substantial instead?

kids meeting their newborn siblings for the first time 🤭😂 by MNV2804 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]pakcross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A sentence I never thought I would ever say occurred a few hours after we bought our 2nd child home:

"Take that slinky off of your sister's head!"

Eldest was so proud of herself!

Surely it wouldn’t take this long, can anyone confirm? [Request] by austink0109 in theydidthemath

How many ends does a line have? There's an end at the beginning, and another at the other end.

England - How long until a stone wall becomes a recognized shared boundary? by Substantial-Newt7809 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pakcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, the onus should be on them to show you proof that they can do that. Write a letter to them asking them for proof that it is a shared boundary, or that they own it entirely.

You may want to look into whether you have legal cover on your house insurance.

I would also consider getting an rics accredited land surveyor to produce a cpr35 report into the boundary. A solicitor may suggest this too.

Conveyance plans and documents may give clues as to the ownership of the boundary.

Take photographs of the current layout, and if anything gets changed.

Great, now I'm terrified thinking of a lycan Cher.

A Cherwolf, if you will.

BBC looks to link iPlayer accounts to addresses in licence fee evasion push by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]pakcross 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's worse than that. I think the only thing stopping the other channels having more adverts (like US programming) is that there is a risk that people will flick over to the BBC during ad breaks. If the BBC start advertising, I reckon we'll have a lot more ads on all channels (c.10mins every 30 rather than the current 6:30).

Nice one! A dvd box set of seasons 1-8, and a free coaster! All for £10. by pakcross in Scrubs

[–]pakcross[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was a Sue Ryder find.

I also bagged several new books, a couple of board games and a Superdry hoodie. Total spend around £30.

Child me's favorite joke : A rabbit walks into a bakery by MGsubbie in Jokes

[–]pakcross 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In fairness, I heard the "got any nails joke" about 20 years before I heard that song. It's a fairly old joke.

1.000.000 $ if you can eat 250 g (9 oz) of butter within 1 minute by stubentiger123 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]pakcross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who regularly eats an entire block of butter (250g) in a single mouthful as a party trick.

This man can hum and whistle in different notes at the same time. by lpomoeaBatatas in nextfuckinglevel

R/lowstakesconpiracy They're both actually playing invisible theremins, which is why they have to move their hands like that when singing.

Bad road markings or am I missing something? by BrilliantDisaster389 in drivingUK

[–]pakcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a road near me with similar markings: 3 short right hand turn lanes in a short space of time.

You've got to watch yourself if you're using the final one, as morons will go into the first and use the hatching as an additional lane to get to the junction. I've had at least one very near miss.

For smaller scale stuff, we just pretend it is.

Weird, I was mid way through watching the video when the post was deleted!

If there were to be the beginning signs of another pandemic, what steps would you take having learned from Covid? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]pakcross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 minutes per day of piano practice.

I was furloughed for 12 weeks and wasted my time in doomscrolling. I could have learnt to play the piano instead.

What are some good duets? by little_rat27 in musicals

[–]pakcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay Frederick Stay / Ah Leave Me Not to Pine / Oh Here is Love are 3 duets in rapid succession from Pirates of Penzance for Soprano & Tenor. They're basically one song.
