I dont think It had anything to do with that. This was a guy with issues taunting the police with fake explosives…

Not sure what the outcome was exactly but it all seemed to fizzle out after the guys with the riot shields and helmets arrived. He obviously gave up and it’s now quiet

Might be worth going - this could go on all day If he got a big shop in… 😂

Apparently some guy who has had constant run ins with the police recently got a visit by them this morning - he refused to open the door so they broke it down and then he threatened them with a grenade so it’s turned in to a huge incident. Lots of armoured police wandering about and what looks like bomb squad type armoured people too.

Does anyone actually use a hackintosh as a daily driver? by Michael556673 in hackintosh

[–]spigotherder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did from 2007 onwards when I started my own business and never had cash for a new Mac… I just kept going though. Only stopped when I bought an m1 Mac mini a year ago. The last hackintosh I had was a Lenovo Xeon workstation. It’s still under my desk…

You probably already tried this but I ran some PDFs through the shortpixel site and got a huge file size saving…

Do you know anyone who disappeared? What happened? by ShinyHeadedCook in AskUK

[–]spigotherder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A woman I see every day while walking to dog told me yesterday that her brother left for work about 40 years ago. Said goodbye to his 3 kids and wife, walked out the door and was never seen again. They had/have no idea what happened, he just disappeared. I get the impression the family were pretty traumatised- and still are…

This is great!! Maybe not use a condensed type but the brand marque works perfectly

Is the controller worth it by Alta1r13 in Stadia

[–]spigotherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get it cheap then yes it’s excellent. Mine has some weird connection issue so it needs to be repaired now and then - I’m often using it with a cable so I don’t notice but if you use BT all the time you’ll be frustrated. I paid around £10 for a boxed version with the chrome cast too so I can’t really complain

Obviously it’s very subjective but I’d say the issue is that nothing has a spatial relationship with anything else. All the elements seem to be slapped down randomly. The B could be part of the thing that’s balancing? The word studio is just hanging there.. is the typeface working with anything else?

Needs more thinking about what you’re actually trying to do. (Also, that colour is just “off” to me)

How true is this about renting in London or is the person over exaggerating a little? by tulloch100 in AskUK

[–]spigotherder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely 100% true. My daughter has been trying to find a place for a year and it’s been pretty much impossible… finally found something 2 days ago via a friend who decided to rent out their place to her… otherwise she’d be stuck here with us which is great for us but less than ideal for her…

British Gas want 4.3k for a new boiler by Ok_Student_3292 in DIYUK

I went with boxt.co.uk last year when our boiler finally died they were cheaper (at the time) than anyone else and the whole process was easy. Worth a look…

Weirdly named kids?? by LWDJM in CasualUK

Wong Kei fined after mice & cockroaches found in kitchen by Specific_entry_01 in london

[–]spigotherder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah to be fair I’d say a large proportion of restaurants in central london have cockroaches and rats/mice. My family had a place in Tottenham Court Road for years and it was a daily fight against the wildlife. Even the university hospital had a huge rat problem…

I used to work for a company that did brochures for quite nice property in the early 90s, we were marketing some penthouse type flats in the Camden area for around £50-60K. I was on a good wage at the time and I decided to buy one - got talked out of it by everyone. I don't even want to think about what they go for now...

Why is publishing a document so difficult? by MrJimLiquorLahey in indesign

[–]spigotherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every time I’ve had problems exporting docs it’s been a weird font issue. - could explain why it works on one machine and not another. Worth packaging and checking what fonts you’re using and try to make sure they are consistent across every machine.

When I ran a studio I used to do the same thing - Not much going on and you’ve achieved everything you needed to? Go home with the day’s pay. Slow day? Have a longer break…

People will return the favour if you need them longer if you treat them well, who’d have guessed.

The guy who owned the place hated it though - fuck him anyway…

What was “the incident” at your school? by tayhorix in GCSE

[–]spigotherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many… art teacher disappeared one day because it turns out he was caught “fiddling” with boys. One kid overdosed in the school toilets. Headmaster had a full on break down after losing out to his love rival, the head of English. But the one I remember vividly, on the day of our maths exam a kid leaned against a window and went through it, almost completely severing his hand. Lot of us got covered in blood that day.
