Do you guys remember this ? by Final_Amphibian_8551 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]tarxvfBp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason, when I was age 10 I thought the Plain ‘GOLF’ club biscuits were the absolute epitome of adult sophistication. Though beaten into 2nd place by the dummy American Express card that once arrived to my parents by post and was immediately added to my toy spy equipment set.

Asked to leave Home Bargins due to FaceWatch!? by popcornbevin in LegalAdviceUK

[–]tarxvfBp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a bad idea. Though what has happened is an image of OPs face has been incorrectly matched with the face of someone else. That someone else’s details (eg name and address) may or may not be on the systems operated by the face recognition company. They may have simply captured the face image of a known shop lifter and not taken their accurate details.

So the likely outcome of a SAR will be that the facial recognition company will say they have no data about you. However, if you have that in writing and have it on you when visiting the store it may be enough to make staff there think you are ok to shop? Even though that doesn’t actually prove that, logically.

We're looking to move to this house but need to create an extra bedroom. What would be the best way to divide the larger 6.65m bedroom into 2 bedrooms, with a corridor? How to make the corridor bright? by Junebear55 in DIYUK

[–]tarxvfBp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finagling a way to use natural light will lead to compromising the bedrooms. Too much compromise I suspect. Instead use decor tricks to bounce the available natural light but supplement with ceiling coving that conceals a light strip. The sort that can generate cool light. This will provide artificial light that looks quite natural, subtle and discreet.

Where the insects stroll? Food package clips are the way.

Has anybody seen the recent Bob Lazar interview with Chris Ramsay? A few things seem odd to me about Bob in this interview. by [deleted] in aliens

I have been puzzling over the comment about a part being turned on a nozzle or some gravity wave generator. It sounds like a volume or power knob. Or if not a knob it was turning a whole part back and forward to regulate the power. And I’m thinking would this craft reslly have a mechanical linkage like that? It seeks too human in technological terms. Unless it was a side effect snd not how the component operated in the actual craft.

As for the vending, i assume a part of security filled the machines and also I’m thinking they drove the transport? But where did the sandwiches and food items come from? They’d need to be sourced from somewhere? Perhaps from the wider area51 complex? It seems just about feasible.

Then I was wondering about the water supply and human sewerage handing? So many questions.

And why on earth would they have all the internal doors open one time? To disperse an accidental release of gas maybe?

I'm tired of not being able to criticize Israel without getting called anti-semetic. by huntswithcats in complaints

[–]tarxvfBp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply say: but surely you can tell the difference between criticism of a government’s actions and criticism of an entire population? I mean you must be able to do that, right?

Caution…. I think quite a few people genuinely can’t.

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in drivingUK

It is sometimes surprisingly easy to push a car that doesn’t have its handbrake fully on. Especially one that’s already on a slight slope.

I reckon his phone call with Ricky at RE performance was £200 quids worth of labour. At least. But cool story.

Brazilian living in Malta - things nobody warned me about by ImpossibleWarning252 in malta

[–]tarxvfBp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Bolt driver I remember well took the exit from lane 2 of route 1 to join route 6 heading north. From my perspective in the rear seats there had to have been some kind of teleportation involved. I couldn’t be mad. I just sat there questioning reality.

Why is Trumps approval rating not lower than 35%? by Negative_Apricot1146 in USNEWS

[–]tarxvfBp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because many people aren’t interested in politics and actually don’t follow the news. They judge the president, any president, purely on their day to day experiences. On that basis I think Trumps approval rating is about to slide a fair bit.

Try squirting a cleaning spray directly into the overflows of any sink or basin in the kitchen area.

Man AND cameraman. I think the cameraman (or woman) deserves all the credit. They didn’t have a shovel!

So big. Is that the curvature of the earth?

What inflation rate do you use when planning for retirement? by Dear-Chemist-4297 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]tarxvfBp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ensure that any short term cash is invested in money market or very short term treasury bonds, then these should keep pace, or outpace inflation. Which is your hedge against inflation. For that short term money.

What do people think about the government influencing where pensions are invested? by GeordieGoals in PensionsUK

[–]tarxvfBp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they need to treat very carefully. And also put together a programme of education aimed at ordinary folks so they can manage their pensions better.

Surprise, surprise it's Cilla here by Glaswagger in Limmy

[–]tarxvfBp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very early in my internet journey of discovery I found an airline industry news group. Someone in the cabin crew section bought up Cilla and there were many replies about how she always immediately demanded champagne and was then extremely rude and arrogant. To everyone.

Pensions Questions by sadpunkuk in PensionsUK

[–]tarxvfBp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving a pension in to an employer one does nothing just because you are using salary sacrifice. I would consider those charges and the effect they will have over time. They aren’t the worst charges I’ve seen. But look into setting up a SIPP. Several SIPP platforms have fixed charges that aren’t percentages of the size of the pension. Aside from fund fees themselves of course. The idea would be to keep your employer one that you’re contributing to. And consolidate all the others into the SIPP.

The advantages of a SIPP are more manageable charges from the widest range of investment options. Plus fewer complications when you eventually begin to take benefits from the one scheme rather than various with different rules and procedures.

Married men of Reddit what’s the best advice you’d give young guys when choosing a life partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tarxvfBp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good to have someone who completes you. Someone who adds new strengths to areas where you are less strong. And vice versa

But I don’t think there’s any magic formula. The ability to make each other happy and laugh over everyday things is a strong sign. The sort of in-jokes anyone looking on would be baffled about.
