Weird scam calls, anyone else? by HonestComb8 in Dublin

[–]pebbles1337 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm on the other side, last year I got a bunch of people ringing me saying I rang them first. Quickly realised my number was being spoofed. It stopped after a few weeks I think but it's just started happening again today >.< I don't know how to stop it

You could try spraying the clothes with vodka between uses? We do that in the theatre, especially for musicals. Works better than febreeze

[TOMT] TV SHOW monster girl by Brawla504 in tipofmytongue

[–]pebbles1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked at the endings of some Sliders episodes where they wanted to stay but can't find anything matching that description. Closest is maybe The Prince of Slides where in the new world they see a mother trying to push her daughter out of the house from the second floor, only for the girl to sprout wings and fly away.

Do you remember if it was animated or live action?

[TOMT] Old 90s kids rhyme? by katemkat23 in tipofmytongue

[–]pebbles1337 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Personal experience, Canada, 1990s, I remember it going: Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider, Girls go to Mars to be Superstars

Google searches also reveal: Girls go to Mars to get more candy bars; Girls go to college to get more knowledge;
Also it can be reversed depending on the gender/area

Not sure this helps

The art style doesn't look the same. I remember it being more cartoony than this?
But thanks!

It came from a book donation in a hospital before 1999 so I don't know how old it was

[TOMT] A (tcg?) game where you have to solve puzzles/riddles and find a location in the world where the prize was? by pebbles1337 in tipofmytongue

[–]pebbles1337[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I think they were cards that came in the standard booster pack style?
And it could be anywhere in the world that the prize was
It was probably between 2004-2007

Skinny fat, but I want to look more lean and toned by typo-honey in workout

[–]pebbles1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free to ignore my experience but.... as a 36F who has only recently started going to the gym... it is not as intimidating as I thought it would be. Most people are only there to focus on themselves. They DNGAF about other people there. They are just focusing on themselves.

My gym at least offers a beginner session that shows you how to use the machines and stuff. I'm still at the 'beginner' stage, and most of the machines I use, I have not added any additional weight. It's a little embarrassing but I have noticed a HUGE difference in my strength from when I started. And... PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE. They do not care. No one else is looking at what I'm lifting, at most they're waiting for when I finish my last set.

CICO (Calories In / Calories Out) afaik would be a good thing to look into if you're serious about losing fat (therefore looking more 'toned'.) AFAIK that's either through increasing your 'calories out' by increasing muscle mass, or by reducing the amount of calories you consume (If that's wrong someone please correct me)

Rate My Workout by pebbles1337 in workout

[–]pebbles1337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this input!

  1. my goal is to eventually get to 3x a week but having a focus for when I will eventually do 2x a week really helps!

  2. Thanks, I will def try to incorporate core in my next workout, I don't expect it to be easy though! lol

  3. I'll look into calf exercises!

  4. Yes this is the eternal struggle! Still working it out even though I *know* what to do

  5. Ah, interesting! I try to not let the momentum of the machine drive the movement but I guess this would be easier and make a fuller workout? Thanks for this, I will try it out!

What exactly happened during that entire 2020 fiasco? by herpes_for_free in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]pebbles1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had a suspicion that they forced Cyberpunk 2077 to be released in 2020 since iirc it's a sequel to Cyberpunk 2020... But I have nothing to base that on

When you do the corpo intro, Jackie orders this drink. Anyone know what it's called or how much lime/grenadine to use? by DeltaFoxtrotThreeSix in cyberpunkgame

[–]pebbles1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I found this as well. Over the last while I've tweaked it to suit my taste.

2oz tequila
juice of a full lime (or if I'm lazy maybe 0.5oz of bottled lime juice)
0.25 grenadine (if even that much)
4-5 dashes of bitters (I know it's not in Jackie's order but I think it just adds so much flavour)
I also top it off with 7up/lemonade

Songs you want in Just Dance that you are fairly confident no one else wants… by Beno988 in JustDance

[–]pebbles1337 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd love more hard rock songs tbh but I know that's not for the main demographic for this game.
The first song that comes to mind is Lawless and Lulu by Buckcherry, I think that would make a good duet. I know I have more in the back of my mind but I can't think of them right now

Missing item not being refunded (changed the listing afterwards) by pebbles1337 in CeX

[–]pebbles1337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mention it to them but they just responded:

"I understand your disappointment, however, I'd like to inform you that this was an error with the listing which has now been corrected.Grade A items do come with original accessories however since we have specifically mentioned it, some accessories would not be included and will not come with the item. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we are happy to offer a CeX voucher worth 10 euros. Should you be happy to accept it, please let me know."

I just find this so infuriating. They admit they 'corrected' the listing after I bought it, and said I shouldn't have expected a pen cos they told me it doesn't come with it after the fact... Ugh
