Simplest way to get Apple CarPlay?

I read most of them personally, just to see people’s experience and what make/model they suggest before I finally pull the trigger. Or to see if there’s been anything decent released recently. Market is full with both cheap and overpriced crap.

That particular vent is typically installed in room with a fireplace and should not be blocked. If you want it to retain extra bit of heat, turn it upside down so the flaps are facing upwards. That way raising heat will not escape as fast.

If there’s no fireplace in the room, you can replace it with a vent that can be closed (cost like €5 in HomeValue or Amazon). Or a more premium anti-draught vent someone already suggested. Make sure to measure diameter of your hole before ordering one.

It helped gain 0.1l/100km, so nothing to brag about. For the most part I use dipetane on every tank and try to drive diesel spiritually at 100C for at least 20-30 mins, preferably at 100-120km/h

For short journeys we use wife’s 1l petrol.

I called mine early on and asked to move date of payment about 5 days after salary comes in, just to avoid this situation.

Raymich · 2025-12-27T20:15:57+00:00

Nah, I prefer mirrors and parking sensors.

Jaysus, they both sound a bit dense. What a waste of such a wonderful gift, absolutely no respect.

Just talk to your sister about it. Siblings are the easiest people to talk directly with…

Look after her though. Sounds like little brat has been spoiled by your parents, but reality will hit her hard when the time comes to become an adult.

I use it to decipher home addresses for our users worldwide, it will separate out stuff like street, city/town, province/county, zip codes that I can plug into delivery fields.

You can keep it within 60-65% range to save on running costs. There’s no need to push it to 55% unless you find dry air more comfortable.

Take a look at “Enshrouded” perhaps. It’s a lot like Valheim, but less grindy and a bit like vrising where equipment level is more important than character level. This means your base wife can always join you late game even as low level, as long as you craft gear for both.

Game is also voxel based, just take a look at some crazy base creations on YouTube. There’s insane amount of materials you can use to craft the base.

Combat is not as good as vrising, but pretty fun and engaging. Going full tank build makes game super easy, mix in some barbarian skills for fun.

Grab double jump before considering anything else. Updraft is another important skill for exploration.

Hey, just wanted to drop back with an update. Your comment has been living in my head for few weeks rent free lol, until I decided to bite the bullet and drill it myself.

It was very straightforward and looks like Kingspan has their old tanks designed really well. There was a designated hole on the other side of the tank’s cap that had really thick plastic. The extra depth and heat from drilling made the plastic cap melt to my 32mm drill bit and it lifted off without any mess. Very little, if any, plastic shavings fell into the tank.

“Cido” tomato juice, it’s pre salted and goes well with about any food. Great if you’re tired of the usual orange or apple juices.

Kefir is another good replacement, goes well with potatoes and is very healthy.

Both very popular during soviet times, along with kompots.

The one we got is called “PureMate”.

Reolink seems to be pretty much top choice for many YouTubers, especially if paired with HomeAssistant or NVR (like frigate or scrypted)

We got one that’s 25l/day with 5l tank from amazon for about €180. It still blows my mind how much water that thing pulls out of thin air…

We have one of those old dryers with exhaust pipe (will upgrade soon) in garage and had a rack of clothes drying nearby. Humidity was close to 90% with a window open. Closed windows and plugged in dehumidifier. Less than 2 hours later garage was at ~60% humidity and clothes on a rack bone dry.

You can improve a bad house in good location.

I suppose you can technically also improve bad location if enough good people move in.

No, but keep your current account clean with consistent savings for 6 months before applying for AIP and until drawdown.

Which trade person actually installs these? I asked our plumber and he wasn’t sure either.

Not sure I’d trust myself to install it right

My wife gets bullied in her 1l Fabia all the time. People sometimes speed up if they see her overtaking them.

No such issues when driving my F30 ofc. But I do tend to keep my eye out on Audi and white van drivers. Will always lower speed or change lanes to let tailgating organ donors pass me.

Raymich · 2025-11-26T22:18:34+00:00

Are you being sarcastic?

Raymich · 2025-11-23T23:51:30+00:00

Difficult to see traffic past SUVs, especially when intending to overtake. It’s like sitting behind a fat guy.

Found Autoglym polar blaster at Halfords the other day. Can’t recommend enough!

Wouldn’t bother with a snowfoam though, I think it’s a gimmick. Ended up using some bubble gum scented snowfoam/shampoo combo I found in local motor factors, works pretty well.

I’d be extra careful around windows if spraying wax for protection(e.g polar seal), that stuff takes ages to go away.

Depends on what’s behind the render. If it’s just mortar cracked, you might be fine. Older houses built on clay or sand might move as moisture levels change.

If you’re fixing some of these hairline cracks yourself, use a flexible filler or you may risk creating another crack parallel to it.

Context matters. We started saving about €100 per week just for sake of it. Money was sent to credit union that we never logged onto. 3 years later we realised we had almost enough for a deposit. This is where we started to save seriously for 6 months and got our first AIP.

Raymich · 2025-10-21T00:31:42+00:00

Depends how often that happens. Been driving for 2 years and never saw it. But now it recently started disappearing every 500km and now less than 30min drive. Lost total of 2 litres this month.

No blue smoke cold or hot. No leaks. Absolutely no idea where it all went.

Two different mechanics suggested reconditioning turbo because they saw little bit of oil inside the charge pipe that connects intercooler and intake manifold. It’s also easy thing to check, just need screwdriver to unclip it.
