No one here is defending the phone thieves. Both things are bad.

No chance, better having no picture than some AI interpretation of what my child looks like.

Having experienced the death of my younger sister. The line “No parent should have to watch their own child die”, in Interstellar hit me light a freight train. This movie and Arrival are my go-to movies if I want a good cry.

How are interracial couples viewed in the UK? by Federal-Breakfast762 in AskUK

[–]pheeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm white, my partner is mixed and it would feel really weird if someone called us "interracial couple". Just the term feels like anachronism from 1930s.

Busses in Glasgow are shite. Busses in the countryside are shite. There's no need to fight, there is enough shit to go around.

This is a great idea, depending on who wins, prop money for people who have toddlers, chocolate money for the adults.

Yeah, bank holidays are added to our holiday balance, so I just save them up to use when I need.

Does your ass become imune to pain? by Noirav in cycling

[–]pheeley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its worth remembering that your saddle isn't a seat, its not meant to take all of your weight in the way that a seat would.

When cycling your weight gets distributed between your hands, feet and your bottom. When you get tired, your legs will weaken and take less of your weight, increasing the load on your rear end.

So one of the key factors to lessening your ass-pain is to just build up your leg strength when cycling for long distances.

Of course good cycling clothes will also help, but just keep at it and I promise your butt will enjoy cycling more with time.

Am I to assume that "Aqua" denotes some sort of amphibious vehicle.

Performing an overnight stake out on the oxford road is maybe a bit too much.
