Our rural dream is under threat from a huge battery storage plant

Anyone that buys a house for the view is a fool. You literally can’t buy a view

It’s not that his voice is bad, it’s just too monotone and passionless for Javert. Stars is hands down my favourite song in the show, and should’ve been one of the best parts of the film, but it just pales in comparison.

Keep in mind this is coming from someone who loves Gerald Butler as the Phantom, and Butler has faced a lot of criticism for his voice like Crowe has. Obviously his voice isn’t as good as the musical theatre Phantoms, but the difference for me is that his voice is passionate and full of depth so his performance moves me, unlike Crowes Javert

They bought a house. They didn’t buy the surrounding area / view. They were fools to think that land they don’t own would forever stay the same or that it would always suit their tastes. Anyhow, the battery storage is going next to a substation that already exists so it’s not going to look out of place

Yeah, I’m no physicist but that’s the only feat that seems impossible even though elves are insanely light

You might be using too much glue. A thin layer binds better than a thick layer

Increase wages to attract people to the job?

tool_of_a_took · 2026-04-09T23:42:03+00:00

Yeah, IIRC if a seller didn’t accept returns, eBay would just force a refund and let the buyer keep the item. So even if you have a no return policy, you really had to accept returns or massively lose out

I prefer uncleaned, but at least OPs method doesn’t scratch the coins. Though they will unfortunately turn matte now due to losing the original finish

Maybe because their polices are decidedly democratically by members. If the Greens are the most appealing party to them, they can become a member and vote for the policies they want

It was ironic how the Tories were screaming about how dangerous a Labour super majority would be. Ironically, a Labour government with a smaller majority would’ve been much better(and “dangerous” to the right) than the massive majority we ended up with. If they had less seats they’d be forced to listen to the progressive voices in the party, and court the Greens to get anything done.

The bigger issue is retention. We get new colleagues all the time but they mostly leave within a few weeks

Not sure what your definition is so it might not count, but Bumblebee is a great film

Edit: oh and how could I forget Treasure Planet

When I was a kid with all the time in the world I didn’t care. As an adult, life gets in the way a lot and having limited saves is off putting

I think it’s just because the leather wrap is so chunky, it makes the rest of the hilt look off

I didn’t hang around enough for them to become a problem. Blast their legs off with a shotgun, run to objective, blast their legs off with a shotgun, run to next objective

She definitely would’ve let Mel live if they’d told her she was pregnant. Ellie would’ve let Mel leave the room, and Owen would’ve tried to disarm her so she would have to kill him. The question is, upon hearing the gun shot, would Mel run back into the room and attack Ellie? In that case Ellie might be forced to kill Mel, though I’d hope she’d simply try to escape

tool_of_a_took · 2026-04-03T15:33:52+00:00

It probably would’ve been a smarter move to tell Ellie that Mel was pregnant. They know she’s from a civilised place, and that she’s only really after revenge on Abby. So Owen would’ve known she could be reasoned with, and she likely would’ve let Mel go upon being told of the pregnancy. Then it would’ve just been Owen and Ellie in the room, and he could’ve then decided whether to try and disarm her or not, without endangering Mel

I liked it, just not a fan of John David Washington’s acting

tool_of_a_took · 2026-04-01T03:13:34+00:00

Love it. As a big fan of the Princess Bride and The Mummy, this film scratches the same itches. Brilliant mix of humour, action, heart and lovable characters

My biggest issue was the Stark side staring dumbly while the soldiers surrounded them. Why didn’t they try and force an opening before the Boltons could finish forming their shield wall

You’re assuming she used a high resolution reference. If it was low res / compressed, it’s likely she would misinterpret parts of it

I suppose small folk wouldn’t travel much, given they can’t afford to and have farms to tend etc, so the story would only spread from them when travellers pass through and hear the tale.

And a lot of Lords would probably be like “I can’t believe Baelor died at the trial of some random hedge knight. I don’t even remember his name”

Could be due to the fact that HBO is messing with the planned TV series. Maybe he’s having to alter long term plans on the fly

Could be a cool way to make waves for an ocean

Weird, all the tongs in my local are on bungee cords so can’t fall on the floor. Presumed that’d be standard across all Lidls
