My dad has an iPhone.

Initial thoughts?

What's it like vs the Tesla?

What is it?

Actually thinking about this, is there an issues with pcv valve?

Seems to be a a thing now. If the car is running rough at idle, or down on power it could be a stuck pcv.

How would I confirm this? A code reader? - I have one so maybe I'll run it.

It's not noticeable down on power, but I don't drive like a hooligan but in sport it accelerates well enough from stop or at 30 up to 70 if joining a motorway.

A vikings spinoff ready to go.

I don't want to spoil anything, but a great e.g. of powerful women in history.

Yeah you want plastic architrave.

Selco has a lot of that sort of stuff, so even if you don't have one near the website will give you ideas/something to reverse image search.

Alternatively design a new charging system like in a kinetic watch so you have a permanent integrated battery in a light that can be removed / placed anywhere and doesn't rely on a moderately priced wheel that weighs a tonne/expensive wheel that's moderately heavy.

Muayed is proposing to design a better bike light, to reduce the risk of cycling.
I'm certain the hive mind here can offer him some suggestions based upon experience,
not just of cycling at night,
but also the demerits of those bike lights already commercially available.

tl;dr Aim: reduce the risk of cycling

Lots of good points have been made. A few have missed the stated aim imo.

The most important aspect is having lights for which the hurdles as I see it are:

1. Rider memory (fixing, using and charging)
   
2. Theft
   
3. Cost
   
4. Attachment
   
   
   

IME the following give best visibility:
2x body front and rear
2x body front and rear
Pedal reflectors/lights

Therefore I am sceptical that a light can offer a solution. On balance I think that an incredibly cheap light that everyone knows is cheap so won't steel with excellent mounting options is best.

From a drivers pov I'm not at all convinced that lights need to be amazing, just not shit and visible.

Pedals reflectors are by far one of the best ways at night to identify cyclists and £10 says that only 1% of people on here will have them on any of their bikes. I have only ever added black reflective tape to one set of aftermarket pedals.

I'm somewhere between denial and shock.

I came and lurked for all the amazing mechanical advice, then the Classifieds followed by Current Projects got me into posting.

Having this place, both as an outlet and irl drinks helped me through a tough period where I'd managed to sever my existing friendships and helped to rebuild confidence to regain them. The support and advice from this community has been invaluable. The knowledge and opinions here have informed and challenged me. The help on everything to DIY to parenting... honestly I could go on and on.

Thank you to everyone (especially @Velocio) for making this place what it is.

Ummm... are you sure it mega markets that force you to have a car in texas?

Dating myself. But this is always the first image of an architect at work that comes to my mind.

Sounds like a plan. I'd probably try not to go too niche on the tiles incase you want to partially match them down the line.

Given the relative low cost of tiling it makes sense to knock it out now. You could always look at doing it yourself to reduce costs. If you're employed, then there are a lot of bugs this time of year.

Before it gets too cold you should cut steps in the back and build a small kicker ramp next to the bottom at the front.

Then if it goes below 0° and or we get snow you can use it to sledge or snowboard down and catch air.

Out of curiosity what would they wear on their day in the office?

Mine was in a nice place on the Upper East Side. So I had a dedicated room, with a big comfy gyni bed thing, TV and a whole selection of videos. Aetna FTW.

I found choosing appropriate material quite stressful as I felt like it would be wrong to have anything too unseemly.

We had a wood floor installed around our existing kitchen. Trimming the plinth neatly is the main drawback, and it would mean cutting tiles or planning tiles to butt up against those places where the kitchen meets the floor. There is also a risk of damage to cabinets. Our guys were careful and we knew our existing kitchen wouldn't be perfect.

If you've got tiles then I wonder if there is a way to remove the current tiles where your new kitchen will meet the floor and install a temporary/semi-perm spacer. That way you minimise damage to the cabinets touching the floor, and give flexibility for tile size/layout etc. so it visually can flow under the cabinets.

Maybe also ask in the diy thread. Or would @Airhead have any ideas?

All that said tilers are used to working around objects. So doing it later is by no means insurmountable.

M1 MBA are ~£400 on ebay and £500 on CEX.

If money is really that tight that you can't stretch to £400 and it is just word processing, then I'd get a used small chromebook or put Ubuntu on a small cheap windows laptop. If you ask friends and family you might get something free. I'm sure if you post a wanted ad here and spam the pc thread you'd get something for <£100.

It strikes me as a false economy to spend more than £100 unless you spend the ~£400 on an MI MBA. Especially as you do have a working laptop, albeit not the one you want. #2p

Ha!

Also I appreciate the input. I've been quite down about the prospect of all of this over the past few days.

Bedroom mirror needs a clean. But I got all my suits out. Well the ones here. I've managed to convince my folks to house a few too...anyway I realised the bargain summer linen suit is a sort of light blue and informal. So tried that with the thick pink t, and I'm happy enough with that.

Trousers are absolutely holding on for dear life, but the tshirt hangs over.

Stuck for shoes so despite my intense dislike of them, I was going to grab some black loafers. Logic being:

1. it's still an evening thing
   
2. the belt I want to use is black
   
3. black will get more use than novelty ones
   
4. brown shoes will look too "brown and blue wedding suit"
   
   

Any suggestions for socks? As for loafers I think I'll need a new pair.

Please?

Got Google Play to work by downloading and setting up Nova Launcher, then retrying Google Play.

Don't have the patience this time around to strip everything off the way I did with my eldest's. Which tbh was a bit of a faff. However, I think that one had the ads on the lock screen so I wanted it clear.

Annoyingly when you swipe up from the recent apps you can still see all the amazon shit they put on the home screen.
Irl it's so fucking jarring! I guess that's why they're so cheap. But fuck me using one with the default setup would be awful.

Got another Fire for one of the kids. But it's been so long since I did the Fire toolbox install (and I've only done it once to the other two) that I didn't think to read the guide online and I've already linked the tablet to my account.

Has anyone used the Fire Toolbox recently?

What I'm after is;

1. Confirmation of a safe place to download the most upto date version (mine is v32.2)
   
2. Whether it is that critical that I do the set up on a clean tablet
   
3. If yes to 2. How best to wipe it and start again?
   
4. What is the significance of OTA Updates and do I care?
   
   

Cheers

I have a loose pastel pink t-shirt. It's just everything else I lack.

I think I'm too old for this and need to come up with an excuse. Especially given all the grief I got for buying a new shirt last year and this year money is tighter.
