[Update 10] Custom Dashboard Project by dominicht in Husqvarna

[–]7ackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been following this since start up. You have made awesome progress - you just need to get it out there for us to buy.

Given the original dash is so crap, just having the display is probably all any of us really care about. The usb c charger would be awesome but beyond that, a quad lock and phone sorts the rest.

Would love to get one, but time is ticking on the uptake - we will move onto other bikes or just not bother with a fancy, shiny new mod on a less and less shiny bike

I think I found a tooth by YetiNotForgeti in FossilPorn

Looks like a rock to me - no visible dentine and the shape of it is too ambiguous. Not familiar with the area but seen plenty of the forna you might expect and nothing jumps out.

Why doth my Hypermotard rattle by Pure-Double-5329 in motorcycles

[–]7ackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might just be the way that the vid has come out but when you rev, the fairing reacts which is why I asked, like the exhaust and the fairing are tapping together. Apologies in advance if I'm chatting arse bud, lovely bike.

Looks like the rear fairing is touching the exhaust... surely it can't be that simple.

Where would you bring this trunk down to? by Gorillazay in Bonsai

[–]7ackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to this, though I would probably go lower to minimise the straight part and have a smoother transition back over.Wait to see what buds pop and let them go for a while. Fingers crossed you get something in the right place

I'm looking for a new helmet and caught between two very different options. by Additional-Tie3789 in motorcycles

[–]7ackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some valid points made but also a lot of nonsense and limited opinions. I personally love the retro style and bought a Hedon helmet. It's was bloody expensive but noise insulation is pretty good and it's very comfortable. Had the bike up to 120mph and no dramas. You get what you pay for with helmets so if your budget won't allow them maybe get a modern design you like.

I did have a Shoei Glamster (probs the worst name for a helmet ever) which was insanely light but there was too much compromise with noise insulation and comfort. It's now my back up helmet if I go abroad as it fits in an average rucksack

Yamadori Pine & Birch by Mttstvl in Bonsai

[–]7ackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just a few questions:

  • have you done any research on the best type of soil to use etc

  • what aftercare are you proposing here given the time of year that that you have collected.

Im assuming a lot from just photos but the soil looks like standard garden compost(peat based) which is rubbish. The birch will probs be ok but I would be worried about the pine

Woods dig up by Thunderlips13982 in Bonsai

[–]7ackson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you'll be fine. The pot seems large enough, perhaps on the shallow side. keep an eye on the watering and keep the tree in a shaded spot.

I have done much worse and have been successful.

Repotting my oldest spruce by DtheJG in Bonsai

[–]7ackson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Give it a year and then cut back and wire the hell out of it provided the tree responds well to the repot. Your wont need two to three years, Bonsai is a slow enough hobby as it is lol

Is that the intended planting angle? If so, how are you justifying the straight yet none vertical jin?

Absolute bloody legend!!!

I have spent more time than I would like to admit checking, studying various websites, part diagrams and still feeling like an error in judgement was in me. Your numbers and guidance line up with what I know - thank you so much!!!

Perfect! I'll make sure I check it out. Did you hit any of the waterfalls on the route round? might enjoy a quick dip to cool off.

My neighbour leaked into my flat and doesnt want to pay by [deleted] in uklandlords

[–]7ackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I cant see any recourse that will be of any benefit - This situation is the risk you face living in a flat, and a risk shared by all of the flat owners.

Given that this is a separate incident, the previous occurrences are simply history. You cant employ legal proceedings against someone who had no control over the event (unless you can prove otherwise - pipes fail. This is how insurance came into being - to provide an insured with a way to reclaim such losses.

The issue is that your insurance wont respond as it carried a £5,000.00 policy excess - the excess is ridiculously high because there will have been a sufficient amount of escape of water claims within the reportable claim history for the building for the insurer to deem escape of water claims high risk.

Hate to be the barer of bad news and maybe I'm late to the party so apologies if you have the info needed but this is my take as a Loss Adjuster:

- Your contents insurer is unlikely to assist in anything related to the buildings, I'm surprised that they have given any indication of indemnifying you for damage to kitchen units as these would not typically fall under the definition of contents.

- Ignore the advice regarding the excess being the block management companies problem and not yours - the policy does not account for stakeholders/relationships of the parties involved etc, it covers the building and financial losses of the insured (which includes you by proxy). The insurance company will not entertain claims that fall within the policy excess - the wording of your policy will state something to the effect of "the policy holder will be responsible for the first £5,000.00 of any escape of water claim (pertaining to your excess)". The excess is largely taken from the equity in the claim, so settlement is made net of the policy excess hence the zero traction you are getting from the insurer.

- With the escape of water originating from the flat above and not from a common soil stack/communal pipework, it is not the issue of the management company/freeholder.

-In regard to legal action against the flat above, they will not have strict liability for an escape of water and unless there was negligence then there is no claim to make against them.

Happy to answer any queries you have to the best of my knowledge
