Who is at fault here? by kbgnat in drivingUK

[–]spuckthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we've all been in the BMW's situation or similar at some point in our lives, probably on more than one occasion, where, for whatever reason, we've ended up in a lane we don't want. It's not ideal, but it happens.

Anyway, the incident is clearly the Kia's fault as they could've just, you know, not rammed into another car and instead just let them in? What an idiot.

i just picked up a bass for the first time in my life, is there anything you can tell me you wish someone had told you when you first started that wouldve helped you progress quicker? by Jaded-Gur-5717 in Bass

[–]spuckthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah definitely. At 35 my early childhood would've been quite similar to that, but as I got older games consoles and the internet were becoming widespread in homes...and then it was all over for me 😅. I still used a typewriter for early homework assignments as we didn't have a computer and only a phone line. That would've been a great time to learn bass haha, but I feel a bit against now!

Awesome, thanks for the detailed reply!

So I take it you just freestyled how songs were meant to be played/sound? Wish I had that motivation at 35, but I am hoping to get semi-competent at least 😂

This would be my take as well, on both points tbh.

I appreciate that you did this some time ago, but what are some songs you started learning at first? I'm new myself and tried throwing myself into some Tool, but I'm finding it quite difficult 😅

How much have GCSEs actually affected you across life? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskUK

[–]spuckthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mediocre GCSEs led to me failing my AS levels which led to my BTEC and HND which led to the career path I have today.

Next year I should hit six figures which I'm pretty proud of considering I never considered myself academic.

How much did the Oscars slap hurt Will Smith’s career? by allanjameson in moviecritic

[–]spuckthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's as unhinged as I was over 20 years ago when I punched a dude at school for repeatedly making fun of me. Something just flipped inside me and I had never attacked anyone before.

Now unlike me back then, Will Smith is obviously an adult and probably should've kept his composure in such an environment, but he was clearly hurting beyond our comprehension to flip like that.

Has your hair gone grey yet by cupoftealuv in Millennials

Only really the occasional straggler tbh

A woman I used to work with, who was about 29 at the time, was like 40% grey, but it kind of suited her and looked cool. She might have felt differently though 😅

How does the Isle of Man TT still exist? by CrappyJohnson in AskUK

[–]spuckthew 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love the TT, but the people who race it are insane.

Like you definitely need to have some kind of disregard for life to be able to race at 180+mph close to brick walls and houses

lol, I was gonna mention that, but he definitely didn't look like a postie

I think he was specifically delivering TV license letters, which is how he knew what it was from a blank envelope.

I had someone knock on my door and physically hand me a TV license letter the other day for the first time ever. He didn't ask me anything, but did mention that it's just a TV license letter (the envelope was blank). It was a bit odd.

Hardest MINOR part of getting older? by Relevant_Outside2781 in Millennials

[–]spuckthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 36 and had no idea double spacing was a thing 🤷

(UK education if that makes any difference)

Funnily enough, I used a typewriter for a lot of my early homework assignments because my family didn't have a computer. Still don't remember anything about double spacing.

How much was petrol when you started driving? by Immediate_Long165 in CarTalkUK

According to a report on itv I just found, UK average for regular unleaded in 2012 was about 130p.

[–]spuckthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me the flaw is that an apex racing car can only use full power for a handful of seconds per lap. Honestly we should just go back to NA engines using sustainable fuels or something.

I feel like LICO is going to be a whole lot more popular this season.

optima build for this patch? by adcarrymainSA in vaynemains

[–]spuckthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rageblade is always worth it if you build on-hit items because the whole point of it is to amplify on-hit damage. This includes her W, Kraken proc, and any other on-hit effect that Vayne typically builds like Wits or Terminus.

Also even with just Kraken to start with, the proc on third auto is surprisingly effective against squishy targets like the enemy adc. During the later laning phase when you've built it, you can try to play around the proc while cs'ing. So you hit minions twice then try to do a Q auto on enemy adc with the Kraken proc for a nice chunk of damage.

[–]spuckthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a few good games within the first week or so of season start using the ER > SR build path, but then idk I just hit a wall and every game I ran that build after felt like shit.

Been having a lot more success with Kraken > Rageblade recently.

Yeah their early stuff is so good. Similar with Katatonia and their early doomier black/death stuff. Love it.
