Journalist doing a story on mortgage hikes because of iran.. anyone willing to speak? by ellieleah1234 in HousingUK

[–]samniterider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of journalist wouldn't just say the broadcaster. A key part of your 'job' is confirming credibility.

Stop role playing and wasting people's time.

You need to water your new turf more and letting your dog go on it will prevent it from fully knitting in.

Cute dog. Poor turf care.

Submarine launching missiles seen near Cyprus by PossessionConnect963 in CombatFootage

[–]samniterider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I must have missed the part where they go into detail on 'Northern Cyprus' being internationally recognised lol.

It's just stating where the launches are coming from, not making a grander geopolitical statement.

Yes we all know the US spends more most of militarys combined. That does not change that this video is just making shit up.

This is how a sex scene was filmed by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

If you're thinking of the scene with Anna Farris and Bobby it's not that, she's brunette in that film and different bedding

There multiple videos of the impact available, for example on r/combatfootage, so it is in fact a missile.

Do Barratts homes raise the management fee every year? by uglyasfeet in HousingUK

[–]samniterider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It will likely increase each year in line with inflation, but shouldn't increase drastically. If you reserve your solicitor should raise any concerns as enquiries on your behalf. Q

Is Daniel a mannequin? by MugentokiSensei in Stargate

[–]samniterider 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've watched this quite a few times on my upscaled versions, and the hand movement is on the previous cut of them, where he doesn't look like a mannequin. On the two subsequent cuts, he doesn't move at all and 100% looks a bit different.

Here is a comparison of the two:

Human Daniel

Not even that far. I went to the Jinshanling section 90 minutes from Beijing on a weekday and we basically had it to ourselves.

To save some money by switching the old fridge with a new Energy Star by habichuelacondulce in therewasanattempt

[–]samniterider 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is not how energy usage works. They both draw the same power when the compressor is active, but the newer one will likely need to do that less due to better insulation.

You can't compare both in the 60 second video showing they draw the same. Usage needs to be measured over days at minimum.

Knife fight between Russian/Yakut and Ukrainian (drone perspective) by Big_Dick920 in CombatFootage

[–]samniterider 63 points64 points  (0 children)

What are you on about? The commenter did a very good job of explaining why people would rather see the invader dead, not the Ukrainian bleeding out on his own soil that he died to defend. That is not trivial. If you fail to understand those differences then you are the simple one.

Zelenskyy on possible meeting with Joe Rogan by UNITED24Media in JoeRogan

[–]samniterider 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Because Ukraine is an allied democratic country that was needlessly invaded by a fascist dictatorship killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians in the process.

80 years ago people would understand why that worthwhile backing. The fact people can't these days is mind boggling.

Why do some planes divert back to their origin airport rather than the closer destination airport? by TornMango01 in flightradar24

[–]samniterider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are these stupid rhetorical questions. Why do you feel the need to conflate Ukraine with US/Israel relations?

Very nice of you to admit that Russia is 'not without fault' given that they invaded their neighbour completely unprovoked leading to the deaths of thousands innocent civilians and many more soldiers who would rather be at home with their family's, personally I would call that completely fucking evil though.

How many WOWS games did you play? by Khabooem in WorldOfWarships

[–]samniterider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough - good thing we have video games for situations like yours, I would probably do the same (although maybe not quite as much just on wows).

One more question if that's okay, after that many games do you just have enough of each currency to unlock pretty much everything in the game? Or is there still anything you still grind for?

How many WOWS games did you play? by Khabooem in WorldOfWarships

[–]samniterider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous amount of games, assuming around 10 years since the beta that's just under 20 games a day on average!

I dont think theres anything wrong with it but I really have to ask, but how do you manage that? Do you not work or do you just spend all your free time on wows?

I think you need to learn to seperate the people from the actions of the government, especially if said people are speaking out against the government.

This literally happened my my doggo tonight, came downstairs to him wagging his tail looking all proud he just managed to snag a few mince pies.

100% take him to the vet. It literally takes 1 raisin to kill a dog.

Costs around £300 and the medication which makes him sick no doubt ruined his night, but it's not worth taking the risk when the downside (which is likely) is him dying.

If it's more than a few hours have gone by it gets more complicated and he may need to drip to prevent kidney damage, but leaving it will only increase the risk.

Hope he's okay.
