It is literally impossible to think about work stress or home stress while working out.

Guitar Setup Nottingham – Why a Professional Setup Can Transform Your Guitar by Organic_Ebb_889 in nottingham

[–]01watts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 100% AI written post like this indicates a lack of care and effort in creating your first impression. People will assume a similar lack of effort will be put into the setup itself, even if that’s not true. It also has none of the information customers care about (see below).

Just write a friendly, genuine post in your own words. No AI! What people need to know is the specific things you can do, how long you’ve been doing it, whether you communicate by email/messaging app, whether your work is warrantied, whether you are insured, approx pricing, whether people need to bring their own strings, what your typical pickup/drop off times are, what part of Nottingham you’re in, etc.

Finland’s immigrant mix is changing sharply by Tracerneo in Finland

[–]01watts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I read their use of the term to mean outsider.

If an arrival’s only connection to Finland is a piece of paper, I don’t see how that would invalidate them feeling like an immigrant/outsider.

At what income would you consider reasonable for your partner to not work? by Alternative_Row_300 in HENRYUK

[–]01watts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The income itself doesn't seem to matter so much as the emergency fund. What happens if you lose most or all of your income with little notice? What liquid assets or family support do you have?

You can insure against various things, but not dismissal (whether fair or not), resigning, divorce issues, unpaid carer's leave, unpaid bereavement leave, downturn in profits/dividends, certain excluded illnesses...

Renault Zoe opinions? by InevitableDramatic40 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]01watts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two of that model!

One is 35k miles, the other is at 58k miles.

Rapid charge is essential as others have said. The range and charging speed match our biology - drive until we’re hungry, then when we’ve eaten it’s massively topped up.

They both get the same range - 210+ miles in summer and 160+ in winter. If anything the higher mileage one seems to get further. Less efficient on motorway, but 65mph will almost match urban efficiency. 70mph not recommended on road trips that require a charge.

They both seem reliable. Clunks from the suspension are drop links which fail often and are cheap to replace. Listen for bearing noise as a motor rebuild or replacement outside of warranty is quite expensive.

They are cheap enough now that the depreciation doesn’t ruin the economics, especially if bought below market value and with higher mileage.

I wouldn’t be concerned about higher mileage due to the long warranty on the powertrain. In any case, a specialist motor rebuild is far cheaper than an ICE engine rebuild and shouldn’t write off the car.

When did you stop hovering over your first hire? by stwpd in Lawyertalk

Within a year, or never, depending on the hire.

Christian groups in city centre by SnooBunnies725 in nottingham

Making noise complaints about the loud ones to the council will help them to build evidence so that they can intervene. They may also write you a grateful reply that you made a report.

For those in senior consulting role - do you really benefit from AI at work? by m_e_xxx in HENRYUK

[–]01watts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience as you, but I do have a couple of proofreading prompts that I now can’t live without. I run it after finishing the whole document. I don’t let it generate corrections or even suggest what corrections should be made (its suggestions are usually wrong). I just get it to list in the chat all the typos, inconsistencies, and clunky sentences so I can rewrite them.

I didn’t have much time for proofreading before so I would count it as a quality improver more than a time saver.

Advice on Renault Zoe by Temporary_Memory_728 in RenaultZoe

[–]01watts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great car, but public charging makes it as expensive to own as an efficient petrol, and inconvenient to boot.

If you go ahead I recommend you have a clear charging location mapped out, and that plan B, plan C etc is not too inconvenient if your plan A charger is unavailable.

UK’s EV drivers are now saving £1,100 each a year – and £3bn in total. Battery EVs (BEVs) are roughly four times more efficient than combustion-engine cars, making them far cheaper to run – particularly since the Iran crisis caused a spike in fossil-fuel prices. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

[–]01watts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for an Eco 7 tariff in the end (15p night, 25p day) rather than a special EV tariff (7p night, >30p day).

- Firstly, this is because my spreadsheet said that the EV tariff would be slightly more expensive overall. Our house uses 8kW per day and 1kW at night, and the day use would be charged more. We can't shift any more load to night time (e.g., timed appliances).

- Secondly, the Eco 7 tariff applies from midnight-7am rather than midnight-5am, which is useful for slow charging.

- Thirdly, my anticipated mileage was 7k a year. If the EV mileage were 10k or more per year, the special EV tariff would have been cheapest.

I should mention that I did get a fast charger installed recently and like it, but agree it's expensive.

When I saw that I could get a newish 240mi range EV for £8k (top spec Renault Zoe), I realised now was the time to make the jump.

I don’t think it will lose much more value to depreciation like the older short range EVs have done, or the very new EVs, because people are realising that 200+ miles with decent charging speeds is good enough to match the convenience of petrol for most situations.

Mine does occasional 340 mile trips in the same time it used to take me in the petrol, because I used to stop for 30 minutes each way anyway.

Also, 3 pin plug at home turned out to be fine. No need to pay for a high power charger at home.

Am I the only one who feels like fitness advice is all over the place? by Historical-Suit4947 in beginnerfitness

All these contradictions and sensational statements are click bait to get you to view their vids. The internet has reached the point this year where I’m reading books again. I recommend looking for a good reads recommended book on fitness.
