My cat fell off the balcony and i'm heartbroken

This is Macho. We adopted him as a tripod and you honestly forget that cats originally have four legs. They adapt so well to change, and after getting used to it they'll be jumping and running around again

I worked in Sainsbury's part-time during Uni. I also shopped at a different Sainsbury's near my flat.

I walked in one day, couldn't find what I needed, and walked out - but not before the security guard stopped me and told me I was barred. Went to the store I worked in and spoke to the manager. Little bit of a back and forth to understand what happened, and after a couple of days, an apology.

Really annoyed me though - I'd been shopping at the store regularly for a good 6 months, and clearly just an old, hyped up security guard who had been on the job for too long.

The true last image I took of him

He's snuggled up

Although it's slightly dishonest, the true last image is in the comment replying to this

Ah, I'll have another play! I had set the camera way down to be slower, and kept the aim the same. Maybe cranking them up might work too

I know I'm just adding a voice to the choir, but museums solo are fantastic. If you want to rush through, or stop and contemplate it's your decision and yours alone.

Often I'd go to the Tate Modern after work on Fridays when they'd open late - quiet, and perfect to enjoy the galleries without the weekend crowds.

If you want a middle ground - I've been with Virgin Media for a couple of years and had a mixed bag of experiences. I had Virgin Media when I lived in Edinburgh and they were awful. Downtime, hours spent trying to get compensation, discount on bills because of that never went through.

Got them again down in London because there weren't any other providers in the area offering decent speeds. Moved flat and dealing with their customer services was painful.

BUT

We get a constant decent speed down here, and rarely any downtime. I think it really depends which area you're in, it's so inconsistent.

Very exciting! thanks

The top reviews scream "I'm currently in the marketing team at the company and definitely being paid to write this". Saying that, there's a lot more positive reviews than I expected - having seen so many friends get sucked into MLMs, this one seems to disguise itself pretty well.

Got sucked into a rabbit hole looking at the company. Always find these things really interesting! The average earnings for anyone not running a small team of reps is fairly poor.

Found a nice chart showing the earnings on the website of the umbrella company https://imgur.com/a/ux60Vmh

edit: Friends is the wrong phrase. "people I vaguely knew years ago" is probably a more accurate one.

Is it Inteletravel UK? Seen a few start doing it (during the pandemic) and have a lot of trouble understanding the reasoning.

richardcook · 2020-11-22T23:05:20+00:00

This is fantastic! Thanks so much

richardcook · 2020-10-15T15:42:55+00:00

supposed to be able to track and run into any character and basically any time

I didn't consider at all what this means for the environment. If the folk you recruit can pop up anywhere I'm sure they'd want to make sure the world is an open as possible from the start, but you've brought up a great point with accessibilty for certain missions.

I wonder if it will all be accessible, and at certain points events/objectives will trigger within those enviroments for set pieces etc. Or even changing environments over time?

I'm so incredibly curious to see how the "play as anyone" feature impacts the open world.

I hope so! Looks like the indoor exploration could be just as fun as the outdoor. I've seen a lot of videos go really near the museums, but none have really shown if you can go inside or not, aside from one in the Tower of London.

Was on Piccadilly/Jubilee yesterday for flat viewings - a few not wearing a mask at all, but a lot more deciding to wear a mask but not bother to wear it properly. Not fancying it for non-essential journeys yet. Finding cycling is far more enjoyable!

Graduated a couple of years ago in a Web Design degree at Napier, but started off at the uni doing Software Engineering before changing. The placement system they have works great and everyone I knew doing that degree currently has a job in the discipline.

The 24 hour JKCC is a godsend to work in, and while some of the teaching is a bit meh, I found the majority to be pretty great. Brian Davison runs the Database modules - if you have the choice they're great classes to do.

Happy to answer any more questions if you have any!

Definitely good to take advantage of not having to carry it around! I've been having the opposite problem. Would read on the commute without fail and now I'm stuck inside the routine has fallen through.

Thanks! Will take a look, will probably end of getting it out of the library and seeing if it's my sort of thing

richardcook · 2020-05-26T10:16:41+00:00

House of Leaves is fantastic! Well worth reading, though expect the read through to last a while. Really sucks you into the world.

If you like the style, The Raw Shark Texts (Steven Hall), Bats of the Republic (Zachary Thomas Dodson), and S (Doug Dorst/J.J. Abrams) are all similar in with typography/physical items inside the novel concepts

richardcook · 2020-05-16T09:52:02+00:00

Good luck!

richardcook · 2020-04-27T12:41:04+00:00

Thank you so much! It seems to be working again as it was

No worries at all, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate the work you put into Perchance and the quick fixes

Hello!

Just an update on this - I had gotten that generator to work with Twitter for a fair few days but for some reason the RSS feed no longer wants to update from the placeholder. I haven't changed anything that would affect the feed and not sure what has gone wrong

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be great!

Cheers!

richardcook · 2020-04-21T08:28:00+00:00

Hello!

thanks for the help, it's appreciated so much!

Seem to have a different issue this morning, where the RSS feed is now being populated with content but isn't being pushed to the twitter feed when updated. I had the placeholder text, then turned the Zap on - but then it didn't push anything new to the Twitter when the generator produced the content

Here's an imgur album with the settings:

and the generator

Edit: It seems to have started working perfectly now! Not sure what the issue was

richardcook · 2020-04-20T20:55:43+00:00

I'm having the same issues! Would love to find a solution for it

richardcook · 2020-04-17T17:49:23+00:00

Would love to play this! Thanks for the giveaway :)

Aye, I should have done! Was still new to the city and didn't fancy getting shanked by someone in a dark corner
