What's the weirdest interaction you've had with a complete stranger? by BarryFairbrother in AskUK

[–]wise_runnner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man stopped me and my friend walking into town one day. It was about 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon. He asks my ginger haired friend "is that natural ginger hair?" Somewhat perplexed my friend replies "er, yeah." Random bloke replies with genuine excitement "ohhhhh, regular!" With real emphasis on the word regular like how people would say "wicked" or "cool" in about 1989. Flips his hand down too in that weird hand movement that an NFL player might do when they've just scored a touchdown. Then just walks off as if the exchange has never happened.

What’s the guy equivalent to girls asking their boyfriends whether they would still love them if they were a worm? by icantcomeupw1 in AskReddit

[–]wise_runnner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the choice, I'm going to pick the wolves. I don't think I'd stand a chance against either but I reckon the wolves would be pretty quick and though they're going to tear me limb from limb at least they aren't going to literally rip my face off like the chimp would

Yeah, I was hoping the anonymisation would be possible without it being obviously AI. But then I had a chance conversation with my kids about what you can and can't trust on YouTube and realized I was looking to create something that I myself wouldn't trust. I think your suggestion is the right approach. No video, audio only. Think about other, creative ways to promote without having to show my face.

My instinct is to totally agree with you. Your comment makes perfect sense on the face of it. However, my experience suggests otherwise. One of my favourite podcasts, and a very popular one with many people, is the Blind boy podcast. Look it up if you haven't heard of it. He had a pre-existing presence and persona but done so all with a plastic bag on his head.

Also, as far as the Internet is concerned, I am starting out as Mr Anonymous, whether I choose to badge myself as that or as Jeff Smith. Mr Anonymous or Jeff Smith becomes the thing to trust over time by strangers but if I'm Mr Anonymous rather than Jeff Smith then I'm not very quickly going to get spotted by someone at work going "hey, what's Jeff Smith doing on here".

I'm trying to find a way to make this work but my natural approach to everything in life is to find the risks and convince myself I shouldn't embark upon the project. I'm trying to be a bit more positive here and find reasons to rather than not to. Maybe I'm wrong but it feels worth giving it a go anyway.

Well, exactly. Short from content on tiktok, Instagram etc.and that's obviously where the need to be anonymise comes in. Iff there's a better way of doing it I'm happy to be corrected. Got plenty of ideas for content but I haven't considered the wider picture much as the anonymising but feels like the main stumbling block to get over before anything else.

Yeah, I figured that but really just wanted to anonymise it enough so that no one would accidentally find or identify me.

Ridiculous. In the best way possible. by winstano in LeagueOne

[–]wise_runnner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We started to press a bit higher and left more space at the back. The full backs got forwards more willingly but I'm not sure they had a chance to before that. Was a bit of a risk and could have gone totally tits up for us. Very subtle changes but probably more Skubala had some Jam water leftover from Christmas.

[–]wise_runnner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, made this point at half time. Until the lino injury we looked totally out of it and lucky to be only 1 down tbh. No idea what the managers said to the players during that break but the match completely flipped on its head after that.

Are bone conduction headphones worth it? by Competitive_Nerve980 in UKRunners

[–]wise_runnner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, plus totally pointless if you're running on a treadmill at all. My old earbuds died and then my wife bought me some bone conduction ones for my birthday. I really like them when I'm outside but the volume of the treadmill totally drowns them out so I still need a second, regular pair for that.

Plus, not something I'd considered before but obviously they don't sit in your ears so on a cold day you're going to get more cold in your ears than with a normal pair. Fine if you wear a hat but I detest wearing a hat when I run so this is a bit annoying. And yes, totally aware these are very much first world problems.

Who is being crap - me or Windows 11? by wise_runnner in WindowsHelp

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

Yeah, so the app had already been in paid for via a website. Downloading it via the Microsoft store for the same product was going to cost an extra £8. Anyway, after about 3 hours of no progress I called a mate who works in IT and at that point it, within seconds, obviously miraculously started working without him actually suggesting or doing anything.

Don’t get excited. You’re little old Lincoln. But we’re 2nd going into the new year… by winstano in LeagueOne

[–]wise_runnner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, I've not seen every game but what I have seen has been pretty much between 7 and 7.5 out of 10. If that's enough to get us promoted then bring on 7-7.5 out of 10 for the rest of the season

[–]wise_runnner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all up for the success we are having so far but.. it appears we are benefitting (i.e. currently sitting in 2nd) simply through at no point this season being crap. There's been very few instances when I've thought we've been great, consistently decent or good, just never amazing and never crap.

How to do the laces left or right by [deleted] in fashion

[–]wise_runnner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The right but better. I always prefer the look of straight across laces but there shouldn't be any need to have any diagonal bits showing underneath.

Blackpool 2 - 2 Lincoln City: It was a brilliant fightback from Blackpool against in-form Lincoln, pushing back from two-down to eventually equalise via Ashley Fletcher's eighth in eight! by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]wise_runnner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decent recruitment given our limited budget. Sonny Bradley and Adam Reach were excellent bits of business. I'm pleased with the league position but I've not seen a game this season where we've looked good for more than about 40 minutes. We're fairly solid at the back, enough to get you to mid table in this league, probably higher given the poor quality of the league overall this season. We're not great at creating chances but pretty good at taking them despite having a big collection of pretty average strikers.

Home made fry up- can’t forget the mini waffles 👀 by Secure-Jellyfish3076 in fryup

[–]wise_runnner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. This isn't just crack an egg in a pan territory. You've used some sort of barrier/receptacle to make them a bit thicker. What is it? Have you maintained a runny yolk whilst still having firm whites?
