My family's cleaner's as I grew up had a robin reliant, lovely old gal. Not bad car either. Never really fancied a hilux, from my time living in the states I didnt understand why our pickups were so puny by comparison. But yeah now our pickups are a bit bigger it doesnt really suit. Still got my cyber truck deposit down

Convex posted:UKMT January 2022 - Welcome to the World of Survival Horror Speaking of, I've finally got round to getting Red Dead Redemption 2 (I absolutely refuse to pay >£30 for a video game and I realise how ridiculous a position that is). It's been exactly the escape from the 21st century and all it's... stuff that I was looking for, sometimes I was just going for long rides on my horse to drink in the scenery. Then out of nowhere (spoilers because even though it's a two year old game I'm willing to bet quite a lot of people will have picked it up in the Steam Sale over Christmas) I start coughing then suddenly collapse, spitting up blood, in the middle of the street, to get told that I'm gonna die of a highly infectious respiratory illness. RDR2 came out in November 2019 and frankly I'm beginning to think this whole covid thing might have been guerilla marketing that's got completely out of hand.. (Also am I being a bad trans ally because I called my horse My Lovely Horse? It asked me to name the horse and what the gently caress do I know about naming horses? I was 15 before I saw a horse that didn't have a copper on the back of it. Anyway that was the only name that came to mind and now I'm actually quite attached to it.)

no thats part of it, soldier on Its the best game. I had an entire relationship pretty much in lockdown where my partner did the whole game and i watched because i'm loving rubbish at computer games, each dead horse got iteratively named for me. it carries on beyond death. unlike our relationship where she left me.

In RDR1 I called my horse Steve and then discovered that my (now) friend Steve, entirely independent of this, had given his horse my name despite not knowing me that well at the time.

Believe it when it happens. Man loves this imaginary idea of the Labour Party that has never existed. Even in the Attlee years.

NotJustANumber99 posted:lol are we post corbyn? It's not that he's bad really so much as he's unbelievably naïve, which is a shame trait for a politician. And him setting up a party isn't bad, it's very good, I just won't believe it until it happens because he's a "true believer". Even though what he believes in is a fantasy version of Labour that never has & never could exist.

I'd love for a national political project I can believe in again. I know it'd likely go the way of TIG at worst and at best would stick a dagger into the limping corpse of Labour, but gently caress it. I just want a little bit of hope. Also to see things burn a bit. Not a lot. But a bit...

My apartment flooded and my neighbours were so sweet and helpful, turning on my dehumidifiers and opening/closing windows when I had to temporarily move back into my parents' house. What do you think would be an appropriate gift here? A bottle of wine? My other neighbours suggested a gift card but I feel like that makes the help feel more like a transaction and robs it of some sentiment.

If you're the guy I used to work with at dircon years ago then yes it is your schtick, and yes it's great and memorable. If this is doxxing or I am just misremembering then please reply quickly so I can edit away my embarassment.

Think a giftcard is fine if it's attached to a nice card with you saying thanks

Mebh posted:I still have a Raclette I bought in LIDL 8 years ago in germany that i have never even plugged in but have taken it through 4 countries...its got a heating coil, some super hefy cooking plates and 8 little non stick pans for melting raclette and or nibblies in that go under the heating element like a grill. If this is the one that has a heavy stone on one half and a metal plate on the other (and coloured buttons on each of the little pans) then I've been using the same for about 7 years now and it's absolutely amazing.
