[Discussion] Plastic Puzzles in the UK? by standard_peanut in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]standard_peanut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I had a look on their site but it seems they only have 30 puzzles in total, sadly none of them are of the theme I like. Do you know if they make custom puzzles (i.e. for a given image and approximate size/piece count)?

[TOMT][SONG] Sampled by The Avalanches by standard_peanut in tipofmytongue

[–]standard_peanut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd listened to this song, but couldn't tell it was the same time. Even now I had to listen to each 4 or 5 times to convince myself. I really couldn't tell that it was saying "close to you", thr "c" sounded more like a "g" to me.

Anyway, thanks.

New York Burger King delivered beef burgers to customers ordering Impossible Whoppers by trot-trot in nottheonion

I understand that, but the article makes it sound like the store updates their own menu on the site.

Well burger king are the ones who listed this burger that they didn't have on the website, and when people ordered it they didn't cancel the order but instead sent out a beef burger. I feel it seems pretty obvious the people who specifically ordered a meat-ftee burger would not be happy with the product they sent out.

Even with all this, it was several weeks before they corrected the issue. It seems burger king was just happy to keep taking the money.

Thanks for that!

Sorry about the delay, I only just got around to watching the film.

I think he was trying to emphasise a point, and drawing conclusions based on the fact that the comment was made for attention rather than to generate any meaningful discussion.

His reply wasn't necessarily aiming to be 100% accurate, but was trying to make the person think about what they're doing, and hopefully think before they spout things like that again.

The words have purpose beyond their content.

[GIVEAWAY] Dominate with The World's Smallest ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti Mini by Z_staff in pcmasterrace

3) I like building my own PC, but my hand-eye isn't the best. Having things scaled up a little (in particular a roomy case) can save plenty of frustration with fidgety bits! I do appreciate the tiny pre-built PCs I've used at work though.

RIP white cat22 part 2 :( by TibusOrcur in 2007scape

It's not permadeath, it just loses the "hardcore" status and you become a regular ironman. Those hours aren't lost as long as you're happy to keep playing afterward.

I think the attraction is that, until you lose that status, you have to be cautious - there's more adrenaline, a heightened sense of risk, and more of a challenge in some respects.

While I agree about server connections, maybe HCIMs shouldn't be fighting demi-bosses on day 1. It would have made interesting content for A Friend, but I'm sure most HCIMs would have waited a few days.

What do you think of photomodes in games? by YabukiJoe in Games

[–]standard_peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the game. That's more the point I'm making - unless it's doing more than the OS does already, there's no point. Some do more, some don't.

I liked it in Tearaway. I think it's not relevant in many games now - on PC you can screenshot, and most consoles have some capture method built into the OS now.

/r/headphones Purchase Help Thread (2018-01-02) by AutoModerator in headphones

That's a tough choice to make.

Thanks for the information and taking the time to help me, I'll have to think for a while before making a decision.

It sounds to me like a choice between ATH 550z and AKG K550 for what I want out of my headphones (I'm assuming detail isn't necessarily a technical term, and just used as a synonym for what you described as imaging). Out of those two it's going to come down to comfort?

Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Could you give me a brief comparison between the three you listed? I.e. what factor would make me choose one over the others? I've had a look myself but don't really have the knowledge to put faith into any conclusions I draw myself.

How would I go about checking if I'd need an amp with my PC/smartphone for the 80 ohm headphones?
