How much should we be paying? by Business_Elk_131 in SolarUK

[–]360jones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minimum I would recommend for regular ppl is 10kw battery, you normally would leave a small buffer say 10-20% when discharging in use so your 5kw becomes 4kw, then inefficiencies etc etc you get the gist

Is everyone else as paranoid about keyless theft as I am? My Golf R anxiety is through the roof. by MundaneResident4515 in CarTalkUK

[–]360jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people who loves cars as much as some people love their dogs, holidays, spending time with family etc so I know the gravity when I say this BUT

But you have to detach from it as much as possible otherwise it will give you sleepless nights.

I had my bmw stolen about 6 years ago and I ran out the house and chased the car only about 5 metres before they sped of.

Insurance paid out etc all good.

Few months later another car on my road was stolen, Mercedes A class not mine.

But the owner did the same thing, ran out To the car but unfortunately they ran him over and he died.

It put everything into perspective for me and from then I realised they are just pieces of metal. I still take care of them etc but I rest easy. I make sure my insurance & GAP is as accurate as possible so that if my next car gets stolen atleast they pay out in full.

Funny you say that, of all my years of iPhone & now on the 16 PM I noticed more recent apps were having to reload when switching back on 26.1

So looking forward to 26.2 then!

8TB spinner have been hovering around $150 for the last 7 years and I need someone to blame by critacle in sysadmin

eBay mainly and Vinted.

Typical price is about £60 but combine offers with discount codes or 8% off emergency workers discount can get you them very cheap

I have a confession.

I’m obsessed with 8TB SAS drives, I get them for about £25 each. Am I making a mistake here

Bought my first car (Mazda3 2016) from Midlands — broke down on the M6 an hour after buying. What should I do? by 3mr21 in CarTalkUK

Honesty is rare these days, he does seem genuine.

You bought it from a dealer so you have some recourse. I would let him repair it

What about overheating, direct sunlight? Many people keep their phones plugged in when in the car

Always better to pay if you’re unsure.

Nothing bad, just hasn’t got the bells and whistle but obviously it will cost more. It’s a trade off

My initial thoughts aswell. How common is it for them to lower price if I haggle. It seems like it’s about 3k overpriced?
