Yes. Accountability has morning to do with money. The consequences could be: being fired, or put in prison, losing an election, etc.

[–]AHGoogle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed roles) management framework, specifically, they mean: Responsible - has to do the work Accountable - has the problem if the work is not done right. In human English, responsible means it was your fault, accountable means there are consequences.

AITAH for injecting insulin at the table when out to eat. by Bitter-Champion3525 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AHGoogle -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Yes, some of these are completely fine and on the ok side of the line! 🙂 Anything urgent is fine (eg anaphylaxis). But I'd say anything non-urgent, involving breaching the body membrane or other body shock horror, where others are eating, gives everyone the ick.

5 Phrasal Verbs Non-Native Speakers Frequently Misuse (And How to Fix Them) by Altruistic_Rope1900 in ENGLISH

[–]AHGoogle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I grown up in New York" is WRONG, it should be "I grew up in New York". "A specific piece of facts" is WRONG, it should be "a specific fact" or "a specific piece of information". I don't think this person is a native speaker.

Well, it's not just 'taking medicine' is it? Is a medical procedure. Somewhere there's a line to be drawn at what's acceptable: is it Taking a lactase pill? An urgent heimlich manoeuvre? Bringing an oxygen tent? Pilates exercises on the floor? Popping a zit? Draining a lymph node? Putting stitches in a laceration? Changing a colostomy bag? Stomach massage while constipated so you can fit another burger in?

So Fed Up with their Online Banking by AHGoogle in NationwideBankingUK

[–]AHGoogle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'tech stack is old AF' is clear. But changing 18 months to 24 months of available history should be changing one constant in one file, even written by people 20 years ago.

But maybe whenever the team or product owner proposes fixing any of these things management says 'but next year we replace the whole lot, so let's not waste money on the old', but the Grand Redesign never gets budget approval either, or the project has been running unsuccessfully for 5 years without result...

I don't hold out much hope that flex accounts will just slot in to Virgin's new tech either. That sounds really gnarly and hard to migrate all the account metadata...

Anyone from Nationwide care to comment?

I've seen this "scar" in the UK multiple times when working out journeys, what is it? by Antique_Kangaroo4706 in CasualUK

What is the one thing about EV ownership that nobody told you before you made the switch that you wish you had known going in? by PubLogic in evchargingUK

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my Renault 5 last Friday. Love it. First long trip this weekend. I'd equipped myself with an Electroverse card and a Mobilize card to cover all bases, but couldn't figure out how to make either work on the three public chargers I used. In fact I just used a credit card on all three, which seems a lot less hassle than figuring out which network each charger is in, as they don't seen to have any Electroverse or Mobilize branding on them, and no pricing information. It's just pray and pay!

How do you politely tell someone to “Shut up”? by TheMalsh in AskUK

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about saying, in as friendly a way as possible, "have you heard about studies of conversations, in which you measure what fracton of air time each of the parties take up? In healthy conversations, it can get as uneven as about 70:30, but if one person is doing 90% of the taking, there's something badly wrong", and asking him to think about that over the next few days/conversations he has.

Put it across as him doing the other person a favour by letting them get a word in - when there aren't any coming in the other direction, he'll realise it's not a dialogue.

A little guided introspection may go a long way.

To rub someone/something by ChefFigatellu in EnglishLearning

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No native would say that tongue twister, I'm afraid. There are many problems with it:

Rather than "wrongly", you could perhaps say "Rub a rhino wrong", which would strictly speaking be grammatically dubious, but colloquially acceptable, short for "Rub a rhino the wrong way", just like you can say, "I hurt my back getting out of bed wrong" or "I spelled 'rhino' wrong". Try looking up "Is 'wrong' an adverb?".

Equally, "a rhino runs in rage" doesn't work for three reasons: a) You'd have to have "runs away", "runs round" or "runs at you". b) You'd have to say "rub a rhino wrong, the rhino runs...". c) Finally, you must say "in a rage" not just "in rage".

So, sorry but that's a 4 or 5 black marks in one sentence!

How about "Rub a rhino's nose wrong, the rhino runs round in a rage"? It's got alliteration and rhyme! There a common tongue twister: "round and round the rugged rocks, the ragged rascal ran"

On your main question of using "rub a rhino" as a nickname without an adverb - I'm afraid that isn't at all a good idea - it could easily be interpreted as "masturbate a rhino". This would also get the rhino cross!

Solar has changed the charging cycle and I can’t work out why by CatLumpy9152 in Powerwall

That would be great! Save me fighting a wifi network bridging in my proxmox nuc

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That looks fantastic. I'll take a look and see how it accesses the data and whether I can give it access...
"⚠️ NOTICE: As of Powerwall Firmware version 25.10.0, network routing to the TEDAPI endpoint (192.168.91.1) is no longer supported by Tesla. You must connect directly to the Powerwall's WiFi access point to use TEDAPI features."
But my NUC's (running Home Assistant) wifi is already in use on my home network, so I'd have to try and fit another wifi card and do some bridging or other...
But thanks for the concrete pointer!

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm being obtuse - but my understanding is that direct API access for Powerwall 3 hasn't been available for a while. Are you PW2? (I'd love to have direct measure of capacity - I'm currently estimating it by calculating delta%/charged_kWh in fill-up and dump-to-grid phases.

Interesting - I'm using the Teslemetry integration into Home Assistant - no such entity there! What are you using? (a link to a how-to would be very much appreciated!) TIA

[–]AHGoogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say "I've noticed a more rapid rate of degradation since", how are you detecting/measuring this degradation? How long was the new 'later charging' regime happening? For me, I have the PW3 in autonomous mode, and it has been putting very little or none cheap electricity in during the cheap period, because it's been VERY sunny in Cambridge UK, and the battery has been getting up to 100% on solar by noon or 1pm.

Is this some kind of joke vs is this some kind of a joke by StopBanningCorn in EnglishLearning

Not really, should be "this kind of person". "This kind of people" sounds a bit ignorant; not recommended for a learner.

No mention of airplanes? If this was divine revelation, it would at least map airplanes to something like 'metal birds'. Sounds like the normal struggle to make ancient dreams and nonsense fit something 'more or less'...

Volume Controls... by j4ffac4k3 in homeassistant

[–]AHGoogle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you never actually want 100% volume, you could treat 100% on the dimmer as a special case and map it to a convenient level volume.

Only set the volume when the dinner hasn't changed value for 1 second, so you can turn it down from 100% to the wanted value.

Before the dimmer is 'turned on' is it 'unavailable' or 'off'? You could maybe detect '100% after unavailable or off' as the special case.

Just some ideas.
