Sounds like a crap system

ITYM

Nope. See https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3777

Hits close to home. I've had to do weird kernel workarounds for the last 6 months to get working sound on a Dell XPS.

Not only see - the sound is quite something too.

That's the place. We went there xmas 2019 too and saw nothing much but it was OK this time.
I think you mean just south of the quarry though - we parked on Thunderpit Lane and then went through the gate on the south side of the road.

Went to see the starling murmuration near Foolow in the Peaks on Xmas Eve. No big display just groups flying over and dropping in but there were a lot.
Bit of excitement as a bird of prey was swooping around. Maybe a peregrine but I didn't have any binoculars and it was getting dark.

Surely for full G-chic points the answer to the jeans question is Rohan?

4.8% doesn't sound too awful but is obviously a big jump from 1-2%.
If you have the luxury of cash in the bank, you can get 1 year fixed rate savings at 4.25% at the moment (Cahoot). Several regular savings accounts are offering 5% too.

If you had the double luxury of being able to overpay in the past, you may even be able to opt to take a payment holiday and dump the cash that would've gone on the mortgage into savings?

It's a 3 port valve for a Y-plan system.
The metal box contains a motor which turns a valve inside the pipework joint.

They can fail and you can remove the metal box by loosening a single screw. Be aware it's mains voltages running through that cable so power down the boiler before doing anything with it.
You can also replace just the motor if it's burnt out.
There are quite a few screws but most of them you don't need to touch - the motor is only fixed by one iirc.
Hopefully it doesn't need replacing - they're more expensive than you'd wish.

The metal lever probably won't visibly move. You can move it by hand to the 'open' position and latch it there by hooking it over the little metal tab. There will be some resistance as you need to spin the gearbox. Usually you need to do this if you want to drain the system.

If there's no resistance to moving the lever, the motor is probably activated and the valve is open.

Engaging the hot water heating or the central heating should cause the motor to activate (you'll likely hear a relay click in the heating controller, the motor whirr, then a click as an arm makes contact with a microswitch to tell the system the valve is now open and it can turn on the pump and fire up the boiler.

A truly terrible person. Hopefully they can prove some of the allegations

Alrighty then

Pretty it ain't

Good to know (in case you can't tell, I'm no electrician).
Noticed our heating control would power off if you nudged the cable. Opened it up to discover the neutral was just gently resting against the screw terminal. Must've been like that for around 7 years.

Looks dodgy as fuck. We have the same thermostat/heating element on ours but it's not above the bath.
Googling similar devices it appears to only be IP44 rated.
One for an electrician to comment on.

Travis Perkins do too

Won't the insurance provide one?

My cousin makes similar artwork. Seems quite popular!

No good deed goes unpunished. Replaced a couple of knackered shelves in a kitchen cupboard and plugged a draughty hole in the floor I found underneath.
Now the cupboard is full of condensation because it's built against solid walls on the corner of the house. I guess the draught was keeping them dry.

You could just have that downpipe exit onto the extension roof and run off into the gutter

Does it perhaps splash where the pipe feeds into the gutter?

Mum's Christmas pud was made pre-covid. Held up well.

I've made it halfway. Not sure I'll do much more now. Depends how hard I want to think about part 2 of the monkey one I guess.
Messy part 1 in jsonnet: https://github.com/rhowe/aoc/blob/main/2022/11-mitm/11part1.jsonnet

I brought the stovetop with me and ground enough coffee to last out the visit. Would recommend.

I have one of those - can it even do navigation?

I got a back of hydroleca and put a layer on all our pots. Seems to work well enough although you might need to scrape the top layer of soil off so it sits within the rim of the pot. Otherwise you'll be spending your days chasing balls of expanded clay around the house.
