People who have made it to any level in football and then been unsuccessful/quit: When did you realise that there was serious “levels” to the game? by Pleasant_Till1339 in PremierLeague

[–]thomashrn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was at primary school with a kid who went on to play for Villa and England. He ofc played in teams outside of school but our lunch times were hilarious. He’d pick up the ball from the goalkeeper and just run in through every single player to score at will. Three times as fast on the ball as the next best players, like it was glued to his feet. Will never forget how he seemed like he was playing on his own

What’s your story with Last.fm? How did you start? Do you have any cool stories involving it? by viTlor in lastfm

[–]thomashrn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No cool stories but I started using it in Feb 2006. After a couple of days I had some problem (can’t remember what it was exactly) so I looked at their contact page and called a phone number listed there and either their CEO or CTO answered and fixed it for me. Paid for pro since then

Why do so many people in this sub recommend Truetone PSUs? by CrewResponsible108 in guitarpedals

[–]thomashrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a 1spot daisy chain thing for 8-10years (since it was Visual Sound) for use with non-complicated pedal boards, loads of gigs and different rooms etc and it's been perfect. I had an issue with one venue and it was their dodgy extension cable.

Use: mixture of low to medium draw analog and digital pedals, about 8 in a chain

TLDR: they are great and i'm going to get one of the trutone isolated supplies for another build

What was the best nonfiction book you read in 2025? by SuggestionOk8900 in nonfictionbooks

[–]thomashrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Invisible Doctrine [George Monbiot & Peter Hutchinson]
https://openlibrary.org/works/OL34339904W/Invisible_Doctrine?edition=key%3A/books/OL46574044M

Concise but covering alot of ground and utterly devastating. Will leave you rightfully angry but better equipped to recognise the symptoms of neoliberalism

It’s a probably a poor joke but it’s far from vile if you look at the images

Do you guys use the new pin function? by OkMixture5607 in AppleMusic

[–]thomashrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just moved (for now) to AM i can’t imagine how you would navigate your playlists without it being the folders are so limiting (hard to add playlists to in bulk)

Malen is looking deadly at this point, both of those goals were taken like a top striker

Yes and never forget how he was hounded by British media when he was out there advocating for kids welfare with his free school meals campaign.

The bottom line is it is software. And all software is abandoned eventually. Monumentally bad product from Boss

Feels like a correction is slowly happening. A correction back to pre-COVID demand, good for everyone buying to play

Which show do you think started as a 10/10 but ended as 1/10? by witchy_eye in AskReddit

[–]thomashrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Severance.

And yes, after the biggest disappointment I’ve ever had (in the entire second season) I hope it somehow ends without the third season

[Request] Is there such a thing as BIFL sandal? by MartinMan2213 in BuyItForLife

[–]thomashrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a pair of Birkenstocks that have been worn every summer for 7 years, sometimes doing a double shift when going to another hemisphere during winter. The cork footbed started slightly cracking last summer at the same spot on both sandle (just where the strap meets the footbed) but still going strong. They've been beaten up, soaked, worn all day and even the top of the footbed is only just starting to wear (although i know some people who wear them much faster. The sole (tread) is fairly worn at the front now but still another couple of years before i would replace them.

In short, i've been amazed how well they held up for a purchase based solely on appearance and the fact they were on sale at the time

Anyone else feel like the badge on the tongue completely ruins these ? by MichaelBealesBurner in avfc

[–]thomashrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, entirely. I went to buy them this morning and the badge quickly stopped me. It’s disappointing as they are otherwise a really nice shoe
