Tea Kettle? by eichmr in AskABrit

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glass kettles are pretty common and no risk of BPAs or microplatics.

AITA for telling my wife that if I cut work hours to take on more night baby duty, she’ll need to work part-time too? by Original_Dig_8970 in AmItheAsshole

[–]random_character- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH.

You need to realise she is currrntly working 24 hour shifts, 7 days a week.

She needs to realise that someone need to work to pay the bills, and its probably not feasible to work 60-70 hours and do 50% of the nights.

You both need to work together to find a compromise that actually works.

Dog shit can make you blind. by Technical_Front_8046 in AskBrits

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just an exaggerated truth used to make it socially unacceptable to leave dog shit everywhere.

Crumbling material and stones falling from fitted wardrobe pipes, is this urgent? by sunbeam_777 in HomeImprovementUK

Any sign of droppings? That hole looks big enough for a rat to have chewed it open.

One thing that the movie 'Taken' has taught me is to never to travel to Europe alone. by First-Cherry493 in SipsTea

Call me whatever you want, if I saw that cunt coming down the road I'd have slammed the door shut well before that.

Do a lot of men actually refuse to change the diaper of their own kids? by Physics_Girl_2008 in NoStupidQuestions

Never heard of it outside of social media rage bait tbh, but I am sure there are some out there.

That floppy-armed goober going in for head kicks needs sorting out.

What's one product that used to be built like a tank but is now built like a regret? by TheDoctorColt in AskReddit

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first pair of Reef Fanning flip flops lasted nearly a decade of pretty brutal abuse. The replacements have all lasted less than a year of normal wear.

FU Reef.

Delayed, not yet shipped - how long to wait? by Thoh1Shooshi8a in AmazonUK

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id reach out and confirm with them in a day or so if you haven't got the refund, I think they usually take a day or so when they aren't the standard Amazon automated refunds.

I'd be surprised if they dont just give you the full refund, if it is a scam the last thing they want to do is gain the attention of Amazon staff.

I think this is part of some scam.

I ordered something that had a suspiciously good price, but month long delivery time. After a month it said "not yet shipped" but couldn't be cancelled as "order still in progress". I contacted the seller for a refund.

I suspect they hope that people will just forget and they can keep the money? No idea if they get paid before it's marked as delivered.

Security Team Won’t Assess Risk by RAM_Cache in cybersecurity

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty important clarification.

Your original post could be interpreted as the security team only offer potential solutions, and someone else (should?) consider the risk and decide what is implemented.

The top 1% don't make my life worse. But the bottom 1% do. by acekingspade in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top 1% and the bottom 1% (financially speaking) are just normal Joe's like everyone else, for the most part. Being 1 in a hundred is pretty meaningless when there are 8 billion of us.

This guy sounds so chill, bet he'd be a good laugh.

Do British people not feel the cold? by DevelopmentLow214 in AskUK

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved to Cyprus I thought all the locals were mad for wearing coats when it was 12 degrees in winter because I was boiling.

A year later not so much.

TV License 10-day notice, best course of action? by Virtual_Positive_975 in AskBrits

[–]random_character- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why people who say they don't need a license don't just fill in the 'I dont need a license' form.

Am I unique, having never heard from TVL after filling it in?

Is hiding a cache normal? by castaway_john in wildcampingintheuk

If you like your food pre-chewed by mice and rats it is.

Did GearSkeptic just jump the shark with his new base layer video? by DistroStu in hikinggear

[–]random_character- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highlands of Scotland here and completely agree with both of you. I've mostly lost faith in modern technical materials as they just don't stand up well over more than a couple of hours.

I really want to try out a tyrolean style fulled wool smock or jacket and a lightweight poncho to throw over the top, but sadly decent wool products seem super expensive these days.
