- Comment on Bathroom Renovation Flooring Questions 4 days ago:
In the UK most/all kitchen and bathroom waste pipes are the white plastic. They have solvent weld and push fit options. 32 + 48 mm options (I think) Pressurised mains water is in copper or pex. The only law I remember is that you can’t put pex directly to your combi boiler - you have to have 6ft (?) of copper before any plastic push fit.

Never kill someone who owes you money - that’s terrible business. Kill for revenge or to send a message…
- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 6 days ago:
That’s a pretty solid answer - well done.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
As I understand it gold is used as it doesn’t tarnish or corrode - it’s not there to benefit the sound in any way.
- Comment on Anyone? 1 month ago:
Yeah, on reflection, I suppose… and the men; and everyone else inbetween.
- Comment on Anyone? 1 month ago:
They immediately sent my first one back and said: “Please stop. We’re gonna make an exception for you.”
Kinda knocked my confidence a little bit, to be honest.

- Comment on where did we go wrong 6 months ago:
Personally I feel his hat is unnecessarily large and the ensemble doesn’t completely balance as a consequence.
- Comment on In shower today: "I bet my YouTube account is older than most of the people on YouTube." ...Yes, yes it is. 6 months ago:
On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 6 months ago:
There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 8 months ago:
The UK definition isn’t that wild - the ‘ra used to plant bombs and then phone it in. There’s still terror seeing a building explode - knowing the only reason there aren’t casualties is because the bombers, this time, called it in with 15 minutes on the fuse.
- Comment on Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing. 8 months ago:
Believe in yourself - if nothing else.
- Comment on The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls. 8 months ago:
I never knew that. I thought it went from beagle to seagull and then on to eagle…

Ignore what randos on the web say - the opinions of only two people matter. You and her. Good luck; however it works out.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 9 months ago:
You’re familiar with market towns in the UK? A bit like one of those but with hours and hours of agricultural land all around it. A solitary high street in the middle of nowhere.
N.B. I’m not USian so don’t know what I’m on about…

Melt your bank card in acetone. Carefully remove the chip and copper antenna. Place in small mould, fill with resin. Bobby Fingers (YouTuber) did this for a one-eyed friend so he could pay with his eyeball… Consider an rfid blocking case.
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 10 months ago:
Yeah - back in the day A/S/L was asked so you had a rough idea of the type of person you were talking (typing) with…
37/M/India v 15/F/US would give you a very rough idea of the demographic the other person belonged to - and might shape your conversation differently.
- Comment on quick health tip 10 months ago:
I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?
- Comment on I wonder if antivax kids are OK getting a cootie shot? 10 months ago:
I have no idea why your comment would get removed. You’re entitled to your own opinion and to ask questions… and yes, it was fairly tame. I wouldn’t immediately classify you as an anti-vax lunatic on the strength of what you wrote.
- Comment on I wonder if antivax kids are OK getting a cootie shot? 10 months ago:
I’m far more alarmed that people with zero medical or scientific background think they can just wade into debates about vaccinations that they have zero knowledge about… a Facebook post and a quick web search doesn’t equate to a phd and thirty years experience in a specialist field.
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Weighs iPhone Price Increase 10 months ago:
I normally get about four years or so out of an iPhone, with heavy and extensive daily use - works out as less than 50 (US) cents a day. I used to pay more for a newspaper.
I only made the switch when BlackBerry OS10 “failed” and they quit making handsets. I still miss my Z30 though…

Yes.

From my own personal view I find it very difficult to disagree with every part of your second sentence.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 11 months ago:
I’ll move on when I’m ready to move on; a’ight? Don’t step up to a public forum, run your mouth, then tell people to fuck off when they call out your myopic world view.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 11 months ago:
I browse… Twitter, 9gag, 4chan, BlueSky, Lemmy and Mastodon. I find a mixed bag of cunts and diamonds on all of them - and loads of people in between.
The world is not as black and white as you see it.
Perhaps you might try sorting the wheat from the chaff next time before you make definitive sweeping statements about various platforms.

Jesus Fucking Christ man… is this really how you see the world?
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 11 months ago:
My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…
- Comment on BACK OFF FELLAS, SHE'S MINE 11 months ago:
If she is in Toronto then smoking weed from a bong is no more illegal than drinking a beer from a glass - if that was your worry about the visible paraphernalia.

The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…
