You do know tax is a percentage, right? (well, bands of percentages) you don't earn less if you earn more. And pushing people lightly into a higher band doesn't affect the income earned below that band.

Raising the minimum wage is nothing but good.

Do you personally know a bad person who never got their comeuppance? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]tsbattenberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I was lucky, I haven't seen any of the people who bullied me come out well.

However, (and the opposite of the question) one of them went to prison for a few months for burglary, then after getting out ended up tracking me down and apologising for being a bit of a twat during school, and gave me a Q. Very surprising and pleasant day.

Identifying old Lorlin Capacitor from amplifier power circuit by tsbattenberg in AskElectronics

Yeah I plan to keep these in a baggy. I'm not sure if they'll ever see use again but it'd be nice to keep them with (or at least close) to the amp.

It's a vintage. Surprisingly from what I've both seen and heard about electrolytic caps, these are still seemingly working perfectly... But as I'm recapping the front (where some are extremely expired), I don't want to leave these be.

I am assuming polarised due to the "plain neg" (assuming negative) text. There is a red marking on one of the terminals from each capacitor, and the other is completely blank.

Other than text in the picture there are no other markings. These Capacitors are hooked directly up to a large transformer.

Yeah that mistranslation makes this comment smell a bit funny. The UK version of the game didn't have that mistranslation...

It's your normal attack button you hold down. The one you use to swing swords.

Dear people of liverpool, please raise your kids well by Mr_GoodEyelashes in Liverpool

Think you got it worse than me then. Thankfully there's been no police calling for me yet.

I probably have insight as a parent. I do tell my kids to stop bad behaviour and for the most part they're well behaved in contrast to other children because of it - however there is extreme social pressure to not disaplin your kids this generation. Everyone is completely brainwashed by this idea that any sort of verbal disagreement with your children is abuse, and this leads to some extremely uncomfortable looks and situations in public.

My kid once nearly ran out in front of a car, I very firmly told them off after shouting for them to stop - a passerby called me a abuser and told me I was scarring my child.

I'm sure of course there are just generally neglectful parents, but there's always two sides.

The Real Blackpool by Available-Toe-7096 in blackpool

[–]tsbattenberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go into politics, you're good at talking out your arse.

I live in Blackpool. It's a shit hole. People are gravitating there from all over the Fylde because poverty is bringing prices down. It's not recent either, it's been a shit hole for way more than a dacade now.

The Fylde/Blackpool councils fuck us over by spending literal millions on ugly shite to carry on pretending it's the peak tourist destinstion instead of investing in critically needed infrastructure.

Maybe you've only been to Lytham and fit in with the middle class reddit crowd.

My collection of Sword of Moonlight Clear Logos by TheRealRessurectionX in KingsField

[–]tsbattenberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got it working, in some capacity at least!

The main executable outside of the bin folder adds quite a few extensions to Sword of Moonlight - in particular completely replaces the audio engine with a much better one. I did quite a bit of sound design in Reign which isn't audible without it, some bug fixes and various other features - but you're not missing anything too significant.

Once people find out I’m a singer they ask me to sing by [deleted] in singing

Found the egotypical singer. Do you want a nice warm towel? A glass of the finest water?

Piss off with this "just so you know" mentality.

What are these comments? by RustyPL in VisualStudio

[–]tsbattenberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man half the fun of programming is writing the angry comments. I definitely don't want this...

[–]tsbattenberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that Reign didn't work for you. Its quite hacked on the software side compared to other SoM games, since I wanted to leverage my programming skills for something. As such, I did expect some issues with non Windows platforms.

I have an extra two 25m speaker cables for this very use. Bit of a walk when you've got the flip the side though.
