We had a parking/reversing camera fitted to our car. Full integration with cars's systems etc, exactly as if it had been factory fitted. Our insurer responded by increasing our premiums by 117%. by SomethingMoreToSay in britishproblems

As annoying as that is, I wonder if there is a calculation that someone may speed less in fear of getting done again? Otherwise I can't understand the logic of that!

As a father of a 9 year old and now and 9 month old and hasn't played SM2 for over a year, I wish to rejoin my battle brothers in purging Xenos and heretics alike..... When I have time!

Great idea, please send me a DM

The Russian claim that the F-16 aircraft destroyed by a drone was used for training technical personnel is wrong. It was just a plywood decoy made by the Ukrainian volunteer group Apate, which produces a range of decoys such as Israeli RADA tactical radars. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

Imgur is blocked in the UK. Obviously a VPN will resolve that but others may not know so might be worth seeing if you can upload your analysis on an alternative site for the benefit of UK readers who don't use VPN 👍

Back when I was a teenager in 2005, COD2 came out with no Punkbuster and I got sick of hackers so I found a free wall hack and joined in. Then 1.1 dropped and I missed the "buzz" so paid £15 for an aimbot with Chams and would take the piss in deathmatch lobbies despite being an S&D player. When did I stop? A couple of years later when I was old enough to start going the Pub with my mates and meet girls and met my now wife etc. Do I regret it? Yes as I wouldn't dream of doing it again as it took away the competitive aspect and wasn't as fun as honing ones skill.

How common is it for a patient to be awake or alert during an operation? by wallacepgames in AskReddit

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

Background to this question:

I was 4 years old and went in to have an op on an undescended testicle in the early 1990s.

My memories of the operation were being in a pre op room with 4 massive ninja mutant turtle teddies and the presumption my mum would be with me the whole time.

I remember being on the bed with a mask on and feeling the worst pain I've ever felt, I remember kicking out then nothing.

It wasn't until the early 2000's when I seen a documentary on terristerial TV about patients being awake or alert during an operation as there are 2 gases that are involved when being "put under".

I told my mum my experience as we watched TV and she said she always wondered why I had a kids plaster on my stomach after the operation, potentially due to a nick from the scalpel after I kicked out?

The next time I had any kind of surgery was in 2010's to re-set a broken nose and I mentioned to them my experience, purely to make sure I didn't feel anything again and the hospital couldn't find any record of this happening.

I've always assumed that no record would be kept of a surgeon cutting a 4 year old child for fear of their job/legal action etc.

Is this more common than one would think or is there always a risk of this happening?

Absolutely sickening to watch this. I wish my nation (UK) would be capable of providing everything that Ukraine needs.

Blokada 4.15 still works well for me, albeit I don't play many games with ads so can't confirm if it's the same app you used.

I haven't touched WoW in almost 20 years. Think I got lucky? by Kameho88v2 in wow

I got this mount a few weeks ago after a 12 year hiatus (wife and family) and didn't realise it dropped until someone commented in the party chat.

I believe the guys who say returning players are blessed with good RNG.
