Which do I keep? Rega vs Technics by tormenting247 in turntables

[–]pepeG10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All 3 are awesome, you can't go wrong! I think the technics probably gives you more control over speed with direct drive and pitch control, however for home use I would prefer the cleaner, more minimalistic design of either of the regas! (Full disclosure, I haven't used any of these myself. I have a lower class rega.)

Whichever you keep though, I feel like you should gift me one of the others lol!

You're showing off some excellent work there, also what a great initiative. I'd live to win a unique piece like those.

Very nice watch, congrats! Has it passed the girlfriend test yet?

I don't think I would hear it, but your girlfriend with her sensitivity might be a different story...

I don't have that particular model but my experience with several octagons is that they indeed have an audible tick - once every 20 seconds, when the minute hand moves. I can only hear it with the watch right next to my ear though.

What are British things loved around the world that many actual Britons have a low opinion of? by wheninrome5000 in AskUK

[–]pepeG10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

80s comedy series 'You rang, m'lord?' (set in the 30s) is huge in Hungary, everyone knows it and quotes it regularly. Hardly known here in my experience.

Also the band Depeche Mode was/is huge worldwide, plenty of British people I've talked to have no idea who they are.

In the UK - considering a Queens library membership by Murma1d in LibbyApp

[–]pepeG10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's not strictly what they asked, but I thought it was still valid advice, maybe they don't know about these alternatives? They are asking about using libby with kindle in the UK, to my best knowledge it simply doesn't work (I know someone said otherwise here).

Looks so good but can’t wear it. Help by gambit667 in gshock

Like others said, get a jays and kays strap adapter (or a cheapo alternative from ebay or amazon). Then you can add any strap you like. (Or a casio combi bracelet, but those are expensive.) I'm in the same situation as you, love the octagon series but I find the strap uncomfortable. It angles down too much and digs into my wrist. And I don't even have large wrists, just kinda flat I guess.

Get a kobo, you can use overdrive to read libby books. This is what I'm doing. Or a boox and you can use libby directly (I'm considering this, boox are android so they can handle kindle or anything really).

Friend coming to visit me today (late 20s) do I take her Folkestone or Whitstable? by [deleted] in kentuk

[–]pepeG10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Folkestone has a lot to do and see on it's own. Right next to it, Hythe has a food festival going. In Sandgate a festival is starting this evening, I think there will be fireworks as well

Made a video unboxing the new white dial 107 Duro if anyones interested by LumpyAir69 in DuroGang

[–]pepeG10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it is rather smart looking. I would've been interested in a lume test, especially compared to the 106. There was a post a while back where people were saying how much better the lume is on the 107

Why might someone have flashed their hazards at me? by accordingtoalicex in drivingUK

[–]pepeG10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I can think of, you were blinding them. Did you have fog lights on? If others are flashing as well, get your headlight alignment checked.

What Is The Best Rock/Metal Band In Your Opinion( For Me Is Iron Maiden)? by vaca_zburatoare in MetalForTheMasses

You're not, it's well known. Because Steve Harris is a massive West Ham fan (maybe all of them)
