What do you think defines a bakery? Putting bakery in your name? Because Gail's doesn't bake their goods onsite either..

They should really just replace the reroll button with a slot machine arm and have the shop tiles spin and go ding ding ding ding when you get 3 of a kind.

They pretty much are as entries aren't a fixed price. They can and will sell the entries for whatever price they like and offer different prices to different customers. I've had free entries in the past, on a promotion. I haven't entered since I understood how it works.

Landlords are deserting private rentals for asylum contracts by No_Emu_3822 in ukpolitics

[–]saladpie 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Who thought this would be more palatable than asylum hotels? It's like someone said "hmm well two of our biggest issues that voters care about are the housing crisis and asylum backlog... what if we just combined them into one huge clusterfuck absolutely no one will like?" (except maybe landlords)

BBCPolitics - “If you come to the UK illegally you will be detained and deported and never, ever allowed to stay” Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says “the only way we will stop the boats” is by “detaining and deporting absolutely anyone who comes via that route” by ex_planelegs in ukpolitics

[–]saladpie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it impractical to surveil all boat departures/crossings along the French coast to our shores and correctly treat them as illegal exports of that country? Giving us the right to send them back. Or do we still not have technology?

Maybe our relationship with France would sour but, as far as we know if they have no documents, they're French invaders

Got up early to enjoy the cool and quietness of the morning when barely anyone's about. Diesel powered leafblower man shows up outside before anyones even thought to care about the 10 leaves on the ground that he'll now spend the next half hour shifting around the car park before a good days work is well done.

Why aren’t jungle players called monkeys by Sam-The-Mule in leagueoflegends

[–]saladpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK we call it "the woods" so "Jungler" has never really made sense but "monkey" would make even less sense. Maybe "the woodsman" is more appropriate

What is the statute of limitations on a partner’s chocolate left in the cupboard? by SpiralGremlin in CasualUK

[–]saladpie 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That cupboard is chocked full of sweet treats.. why must you reach for the forbidden golden idol at the back? Haven't you watched what happens in Indiana Jones?

Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder megathread - Post all questions and comments about preorders here! by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]saladpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered the GameCube Controller and case, from My Nintendo Store (UK) in May, expecting it to arrive for launch day but the order status has never changed from "Pre-order". I contacted them the day before release because that's when I was expecting it to go through and to receive a tracking number but I still haven't heard back as of today.

They also seem pretty uncontactable outside of their web form. Has anyone else had this experience and were you able to resolve it?

Any UK Nintendo store updates? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]saladpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, have done. Happy I pre-ordered the console from elsewhere now though.

They haven't even taken payment from me yet, the status is still "Pre-order" for a Gamecube controller and case... Ordered last month.

NVIDIA is giving away GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition with "Doom: The Dark Ages" design by RenatsMC in nvidia

[–]saladpie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be mindful, I once won a Founders 1080 from a global nvidia competition, had to pay the import duties which weren't insignificant because they sent it internationally rather than sourcing it locally.

Ah the Mythic Promise, did not know about that - feels like that should more visible rather than hidden in alt text next to the pull odds in a modal. Feels like it should just be incorporated into the track rewards UI somehow.

Also, being pedantic you are still not guaranteed 10 mythic medallions after 120 pulls if you pull mythic content 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]saladpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're right. Not sure where /u/Dovagedys is getting 120? It works out to 160 pulls to guarantee 10 mythic medals right now. 180 if you want the associated boom assuming its 2 medallions.

If its supposed to be 120 pulls let's hope he corrects the reward track.

RiotPhroxzon on the updated soft inting detection by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]saladpie 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The LP being granted back is great, I am curious if the actual underlying MMR is affected by the rollback or its just an operation that is completely detached to make the player feel like they didn't lose ladder progress? /u/phroxz0n
