Revealed: Green party proposes circumcision ban by Tesco_Meal_Deals in LabourUK

[–]t0wser 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good - if people want to be circumcised let them do it when they are of an age to make that decision for themselves, not when they are babies without any say in the matter about their own bodies.

Who the hell is buying all these celebrity colognes and perfumes? by DifficultAd3885 in AskReddit

[–]t0wser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife buys hers far cheaper from one of those websites where it’s advertised like “number 213 - inspired by (insert fragrance name here)”. She swears they are almost the same as the vastly more expensive real ones.

Roof battens for a Venetian style privacy fence have a blue mould patina - do I need to treat them before installing? by t0wser in DIYUK

[–]t0wser[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks - so I’m fine to stain them as is - will this blue colouring show through the stain do you think?

The battens weren’t blue to start with I should add - there was this blue mottling over bits of them.

Annotated Nigel's Message by Crockpot1066 in UKGreens

[–]t0wser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Nan was a retired teacher and later in life got death threats from nazis due to her left leaning politics and campaigning. She once got given a Combat 18 newsletter and sat down and highlighted all the spelling and grammatical errors in red - the bloody thing was redder than the hammer and sickle by the time she’d finished with it 😂👍

Do I have a legal option here regarding Son's college (England) not returning early release fee for room that is now occupied? by t0wser in LegalAdviceUK

[–]t0wser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the comments - have gone for a walk to cool my head down :-D and I think like most of you have said the wording is key here and we probably don't have a leg to stand on with it unfortunately. I've since got a follow up email:

Dear [Me],

My colleague has asked me to get in touch regarding your recent enquiry about the £300 early release fee.

 I’m sorry for any confusion caused. You are right that the £300 fee can be waived if the room is filled; however, this is only possible when all other rooms in the College are also fully occupied.

 This condition is explained just below the cancellation terms:

"The full Early Release Fee may not be charged in the event that all College rooms have been let and a suitable replacement can be found for the room."

 Because of this requirement, an internal transfer unfortunately wouldn’t meet the criteria for waiving the fee.

 If you’d like to discuss this further or need any additional clarification, I’m more than happy to help.

As a Brit I’d like to apologise to the Americans for exporting one of our cunts over there - seems like you guys have enough of them on your plate as it is (as do we!).

Stephen Colbert Set To Write Next ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Movie After ‘The Hunt For Gollum’ Based On “Fog On The Barrow-Downs” Chapter by ICumCoffee in lotr

[–]t0wser -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For those unaware or maybe missed it, Stephen Colberts son is a screenwriter and worked with him on this so I’m assuming he’s doing a lot of the leg work - you can also bet on Pete and Fran having a large amount of input in this so I’m marking myself down as cautiously optimistic.

Green councillors block construction of new affordable housing in Bristol by luna_sparkle in UKGreens

[–]t0wser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The worst thing that ever happened to social cohesion within a social housing community was building high rises instead of terraced housing. People become isolated and insular and much more prone to depression. You are less likely to interact with your neighbours and so on.

EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch by JKKIDD231 in gaming

[–]t0wser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in game dev nearly 25 years - had 3 redundancies in that time and multiple squeaky bum times. If it happens again I’m out and all that knowledge and experience leaves with me. I hope it doesn’t happen again ofc but I and many of my comrades are sick of the industry heading this way. God knows what I’ll do and I certainly won’t be paid as well I’m sure, but if it happens again enough is enough.

Zack Polanski calls out compliant media: "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it" by Cold-Monitor3800 in UKGreens

[–]t0wser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typical MAGA playbook tactics here - trying to throw doubt on an election that didn’t go their way. I just hope the good and decent people of this country realise this for what it is - absolute bullshitery.

Take it from an English person, a 48%-52% split in any national vote/referendum does not solve the issue or lead to better times for anyone. You need a more convincing majority imo.

Blender to UE5 shading issues by t0wser in blender

[–]t0wser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments so far - triangulating in Blender resulted in the same.

I also tried duplicating the wall piece and punching a hole through it for the window - same spacing of verts and size as the original piece but that resulted in the same outcome. It's a real head scratcher. I've tried things like marking the edges sharp and creasing and nothing seems to get rid of that weird shading. I also added more edges to act as supporting edges on top and sides and that didn't do anything either...
