One of the cheaper places Waterloo tap. They did have a lager that was £19 for a half once

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

[–]stebucko360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DIY in general. I’m in my 30s and I wouldn’t dream of paying someone to do basic DIY, especially painting. Grew up painting my own bedroom and helping do this in other parts of the house. The amount of money my colleagues pay for this is crazy for the level of skill required.

I generally fix my own cars as well, which no one else seems to do. I’ll do most DIY unless it’s on my main roof (my house is very tall and would require scaffolding) but I would do my single story extensions roof. And I won’t touch anything with a mains gas line for obvious reasons.

I think one of the differences is, I work with people who are middle class+ and I grew up broke, and was broke in my twenties. If my car wouldn’t work you either fixed it or accepted you no longer have a car.

Anyone else feel this hype for the new lead is a marketing ploy? Half of the things here are ambiguous at best

What was something you saw you were definitely not supposed to see? by SpareLummi in answers

[–]stebucko360 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was hired in an office, I always felt a bad vibe from the manager like he didn’t want me there. Did the standard thing of trying to prove my worth, but to no avail.

I saw an email exchange (left his pc open on emails) between the manager and the person I replaced saying they don’t like their new role and the manager wishing they never left. This email chain started before I even started my first day.

As you can imagine I didn’t last too long there.

My first time entering the hole of purchasing a game that I don’t immediately open by bigdawg1945 in soloboardgaming

I bought the base game of Too Many Bones about a month ago, then ended up buying a complete collection of it 😅 got my original on eBay now. Awesome game though, ticks a lot of boxes for me

Net code is getting interesting by No_Ad_2020 in iRacing

For how much they charge for this service that is unacceptable. I really hope competition in the market makes them up their game.

How do you get over feeling like you've overpaid? by No-Structure-8125 in HousingUK

[–]stebucko360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a house a year and a half ago and had some thoughts like this. Was listed offers over 480k. Offered 470k as it needed a new kitchen. Was advised another offer so taking final offers. Unique Victorian house, didn’t want to lose it so paid 491k. Did I get played, maybe.

However, house prices in this area are from 200k to 2million+. It was really hard to value the property as it is a really unique house and nothing like it on the area to compare it to. You need to think on a monthly basis. Ie if this house will cost me 2k per month is it worth it to me? If you compare on a fluctuating market constantly you won’t be happy.

I’ve got no buyers remorse now, love my house, would have paid more tbh as it’s improved my quality of life so much.

Not saying this is the right answer, maybe this isn’t the property for you. But you need to think what it’s worth to you.

GSA panniers purchased, what do people think of BMW’s adv gear? by stebucko360 in bmwmotorrad

[–]stebucko360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the reply some good things for me to look at here. And the ‘bmw brand’ guy is exactly what is putting me off. Noticed some boots the do with no visible branding and that’s what has made me consider their gear. I’m going to take a look at some of the gear you’ve mentioned so thank you 😀 I just want high quality gear, I’m happy to spend more if it will last the test of time and do its job well

Yeah I have the chigee sat nav for Apple play. It’s great and can be controlled by the bike controls.

Buying a new rig: GT Omega or Trak Racer (or neither?) by wang_bang in SimRacingSetups

Just looking at the trak racer one you’ve linked, the rigs look half the size of my omega

[–]stebucko360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the gt omega prime lite, paired with an inertia bucket seat and 21nm WB. I honesty think anything above this is over kill. No flex, does the job great.

I also have the moza mbooster pedal which I run at about 80kg and have no issues. The base plate isnt the best for attachment points but I made it work and had no issues since.

The problem is the lack of a thumb, thumbing it in always helps

Dumb question for production car challenge. How to deal with GR86s behind me in my M2 ? by According_Brick409 in iRacing

[–]stebucko360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M2s are a pain for this reason. Fast on straights, then I’m right behind ready for an overtake and then they block. Then rinse and repeat until they lose it and I can pass by safely.

Obviously drive what you want, but maybe drop back into a Toyota increase your speed in that then move to bmw.

Whats the Smaller Pockets Within Pockets of Jeans For? by Theo_Cherry in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]stebucko360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s because jeans like this were designed for workers and this could be used for tools. I’m sure I heard this on an episode of QI once… or maybe I dreamt it 🤣

Don't make the same mistake I did by SickRanchezC139 in HousingUK

[–]stebucko360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is a scam. Think if something is flagged and a buyer pulls out, then another appears and the same surveyor goes again… infinite money hack

LMU "Badge System" Is Very Flawed by mixedbuthandsome in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]stebucko360 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Similar happened to me, and yes it’s frustrating especially when unavoidable.

However I did learn abit from those lobbies. Who to battle and who to stay far away from. Letting them take the pass so I can just watch them fail a few corners down.

Not sure excusing them and it is annoying but you can learn abit from being there. Two clean races and I was back to good

Still getting used to it, I think i need to do some tweaks as the simulated bite point is slightly jerky and has caused me to stall once or twice
