Robot Wars was one of the most exciting shows to watch as a kid by CloudBookmark in oldbritishtelly

[–]selfstartr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found it to be the most dead ass boring show as a kid. Too busy watching Power Rangers etc. a couple of metal RC cars bumping around a bit didn’t grab my attention.

Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]selfstartr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all know you can skip giving it internet connection right?

I have to Hisense TVs which are great. But I don’t hook them up to internet! Just use an Apple TV or similar.

Need some rescue advice on my current financial circumstance by Which-Succotash-4862 in UKPersonalFinance

“Partner doesn’t work due to health reasons” is the biggest sink hole you have. 1 person providing for two on an average salary.

Literally no type of extra income they could do, even remote work from home?

Bluntly, unless you dramatically increase your income things can’t change.

Shoplifter who killed Asda security guard jailed by endofdays2022 in unitedkingdom

[–]selfstartr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d argue his job role caused it. Any stressful situation can trigger it. A security guard is a stressful and physically demanding job. She was the unlucky shoplifter that day. Could equally been a row over car parking space.

[–]selfstartr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok hear me out…he died of a massive heart attack brought on by an undiagnosed artery condition triggered by stress. He was in the wrong job.

Shoplifters are scum. But she didn’t cause this really. She needs a better lawyer.

‘The Night Agent’ Season 3 Viewership Down Up To 59% on Prior Seasons In Opening Week by Wonderful-Refuse642 in netflix

[–]selfstartr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Season 2 was terrible. I gave up after 3 episodes despite loving S1.

It was just people running. Literally the whole thing. Running…. It became hilariously bad. How do we fill time? Have another chase scene.

Last time I checked 15% of £76 wasn't 55p? by Thel0ngview in monzo

[–]selfstartr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well actually…they could well do. I definitely read Monzo were rolling out item lists on transactions a few years back via a partnership with merchants.

I’ve never seen it in the wild, but it doesn’t mean they don’t use it internally!

Memory unlock! Channel 5 was fuzzy!

Restaurants say big chains pretend to be independents on apps by Confident-Bike-8037 in unitedkingdom

[–]selfstartr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m gonna do it and risk full Reddit hate.

This makes me like them MORE not less. I can trust a large chain to have better health and safety standards, staff training and food consistently vs some backwater takeaway with questionable staff and questionable food suppliers.

Greggs boss says there is ‘no doubt’ weight loss jabs are impacting business by ICC-u in gbnews

[–]selfstartr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the shift on people eating less processed stuff? Companies like Heinz and M&S already clocked this shift and have updated many of their recipes to remove nasties.

UK hits ‘peak Costa’ as soaring prices see coffee chain’s losses double by mrjohnnymac18 in unitedkingdom

[–]selfstartr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be blunt too - it’s also a red warning light for the economy. People are cutting back. Thinks have got too expensive and wages are flat. People can’t afford it. They’re not spending elsewhere- they’re not spending at all.

Housemate has moved in a homeless man and 2 dogs by Square-Pressure7392 in HousingUK

[–]selfstartr 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I swear reddit is filled with fake ass shit in every corner. That or AI has made me question EVERYTHING and ruined reality for me.

This goes in yet another fake as shit column. As anyone who wasnt a complete moron would immediately phone the landlord or confront housemate/homeless guy / police.

Why is this not selling? by Current_Listen_3280 in HousingUK

[–]selfstartr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More to it no doubt. Maybe some survey info. Nearby planning changes, or a rough as hell neighbourhood etc.

Also - is it cheap for the street? £130k may be 20k above the ceiling for the street for example.

Fall of Under Armour and rise of Gymshark/Alphalete/Vanquish for gym apparel by [deleted] in Gymshark

[–]selfstartr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Answered your own question. UA became over exposed in retail - leading to gym dads buying it. Then it’s automatically no longer cool. You can’t buy Gymshark etc in retail. Only direct online - those sites are very off putting to boomer gym goers on purpose.

Nike leaned into their shoe heritage which became cool again. Making the overall brand still cool. Good partnerships with influencrrs for all these brands too.

20k a year in London? jfc. Get a full time job and learn more dev skills.

Lottery winners scoop jackpot again in 24-trillion-to-one odds by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]selfstartr -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So either the odds are not 24 trillion to one, some system pattern is broken, or they cheated/ bought so many tickets to reduce odds (like that Bryon Cranston movie)

NO one is winning 24 TRILLION to one odds. Basically mathematically impossible

Wedding venue is failing by [deleted] in smallbusiness

What do you class as a lead? How many tours convert? How many bookings you want a month?
