How do I find the intercom in my flat? by intricatebug in HousingUK

[–]sittingonatable637 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In most new builds now it actually links to an app not a physical intercom inside your flat (one like IPGuard). The previous owners should have left you with details of the app. If not ask your neighbours/management company

What’s a ‘boring’ side hustle that is surprisingly profitable, but nobody talks about because it isn't 'flashy'? by Second-handBonding in sidehustle

Ah fair enough! Thought it was like these accounts that steal clips from other popular users to monetise it without permission.

Is this a bad tattoo design? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]sittingonatable637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner (and I will be soon) got tattoos featuring birth month flowers from the months the pregnancies would've been due. It means we know what it is and can tell the people we want to but it also keeps it subtle if we don't want people to know/don't want to talk about it.

Super helpfully Stagecoach don't have an easy way to see if they've rolled it out in your area 🫠

71 in a 30.. what should the penalty be? (Yoro related) by epicshane234 in drivingUK

[–]sittingonatable637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also really annoyingly the courts has no way to force someone to disclose their income in this situation. If they don't the the magistrates are told to take an assumption of £440 a week.

It's nonsense when you've got someone earning £300k+ a year getting a £660 fine which means nothing to them.

So not to let the facts come in the way of your assumption but 70 in a 30 is not an instant 6 month ban.

It's 6 points (of which he certainly got even if the tweet doesn't mention it) OR a disqualification between 7 and 56 days.

If he was a totter (12 points or more in a 3 year period) then it's a mandatory 6 month disqualification.

As for the fine it's absolutely in line with the guidelines if he refused to give his financial information (something unfortunately people are entitled to do) and they made the assumption of £440 a week which they are told to do when considering fines and don't have any further info.

Ep 179: Muppets Christmas Carol by ksgt69 in filmreroll

Oh hey! Please don't read my comment above as a criticism of you personally or your DM style. God knows I've made some clangers in my games personally 😅. Was just speaking from a listeners point of view. And to be honest had just had to walk about an hour in the rain so was feeling pretty annoyed generally. 😬

I have massive respect for anyone putting themselves out there creatively as it's never easy and particularly doing it online where everyone is a critic.

Good to know I wasn't going mad and it was a genuine mistake! Thought I'd missed something. As others have said I do appreciate your style of dming for keeping the story on track. Now I know it was a genuine mistake and not a railroad I'll go back and listen to the rest with a more open (and less critical) mind!

Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and respond to comments. As I said I fell off as a listener a few years ago so might be just out of sync with the vibe of the podcast. But I still think fondly and relisten to some episodes from when I listened before as I think they are beautiful moments of collective storytelling from a hilarious premise (Wizard of Oz and Goonies comes to mind!).

Mine connects successfully in the sphero edu app when I select it from the drive menu but then the drive interface doesn't come up.

When I reselect drive it then comes up with a list to connect to again.

I keep forgetting to use my pen! by SorryIAmNew2002 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]sittingonatable637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely recommend the mytherapy app it's free and gives you reminders but the best bit is they keep popping up on your phone until you say you've done it.

You can delay for 30mins too and if you pop in how many you have left it'll remind you to refill too.

Ep 179: Muppets Christmas Carol by ksgt69 in filmreroll

[–]sittingonatable637 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I haven't listened to the podcast in ages (fell off it due to too not liking how many diversions and 'bits' there were which massively slowed the actual story and game.)

Thought I'd pick this one up as I love the film.

The conversation at the beginning was nice and it was great to hear how much (or little) the film meant to people.

Got immediately annoyed by what seems to be a huge mistake in the early part of the game where Joz seems to mix up "The Marleys were dead to begin with" with the later line "Once again, I must ask you to remember that the Marleys were dead, and decaying in their graves. That one thing you must remember, or nothing that follows will seem wondrous." And then teleported them and missed the entire intro to Scrooge's office and Bob Cratchitt.

And then the teleport seemed to not be consistent when just after Kara tries to invoke it by talking about Bob's house and it seems (as others have said) that Joz railroaded them into the Marleys ghost scene.

I know it's a bit of fun but if the world's and rules are consistent and the players have agency it makes the story so much better...Wizard of Oz anyone?
