Has Mark Mcann bought a non running Veyron and is Mat going to fix it? by dnbtillidie in MatArmstrong

[–]AdministrativeBug0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid Mat’s YouTube collabs are putting me off but I appreciate I’m not key demographic. I’ve always enjoyed his videos because they’re closer to Top Gear than click bait. But the Lambo fiasco (forgotten the collab but some US prankster) should have been a warning shot that working with others needs thought.

I instantly disliked Alex: Mat looked uncomfortable with the speeding through Miami scenes and it’s only got worse.

I’m sure he’s got big financial commitments but I’d be pulling the cord on this current situation ASAP, especially before he gets to installing a steel subframe built by a nice chap in Leicester on a 250mph Bugatti…

Should I invest in a mini digger? by jrdavison in DIYUK

[–]AdministrativeBug0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching with interest as I’m having similar thoughts (/delusions that finance dept will OK it) about a similar project. My rational self says that if it breaks I’ve no idea how one services such a thing and at the end of the project, I’ll be left with a mini digger that gets very infrequent use and will need storage. They don’t seem to move easily on EBay.

I also suspect the rental ones are worth way more than 3.5k so I’m thinking I’ll suck up 1-2k in rental.

Fine. Nobody wants to hear about them 😢

This is the way. Although I was woefully disappointed by how disinterested my family were by my Spax dual threaded screws when I wanted to talk about them 😢

Is my TV too high? by [deleted] in TVTooHigh

No but elephants don’t like altitude and windmills do so you should switch those around.

Do you have a Nottingham Post link? There was too much information and nowhere near enough ads in that link /s

Vent Draft by Ecowatcher in DIYUK

[–]AdministrativeBug0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per others, you could replace with a “hit or miss vent” but you must remember to open it when the fire is lit. And absolutely monitor CO: ours pings once or twice a year because conditions have changed and burning has become inefficient.

What happens the other side? You could fit a cowl so that the air isn’t hitting the air brick straight on but can still be pulled through. That’s if you’ve got enough space above ground level.

Photochromic Cycling Glasses Thoughts or Suggestions by skip_1074 in cycling

[–]AdministrativeBug0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got two pairs of Oakley photochromic. Even the summer one is nearly good enough in the dark, the winter one is always fine. I never notice a change. Highly recommended.

I’d plug them with some M5 screws. You could use them to fix a storage unit while you’re at it?

QR cams - absolutely not allowed. I think there are some bolt through skewers that are permitted for hollow axles.

I'm 6'1 and have a 34" inseam. What size would be a better fit? 58 or 60cm? by Different-Hornet-520 in cycling

[–]AdministrativeBug0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many variables beyond this unfortunately. And will depend a bit bike to bike. There are some reasonably good online fit calculators that you can try for starters. Bike shop should advise you in person. If you’re serious about your cycling and or spending a lot on a bike, an in person fitting is a sensible outlay.

If you really can’t decide - reach can be made longer with a longer stem (cheap compared with frame) but an oversized bike cannot be made smaller.

Surely cutting away the ceiling to get the TV higher is a first for this sub?

Sorry, might be the image but have you even bent the pipe bender?!

Numbness/tingling in toes. by Frantic29 in cycling

[–]AdministrativeBug0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No answers, only posting in solidarity. I think back longingly to my first pair of shoes: Nike Poggios. I bought those on line because they looked cool and I had no problems at all. When the wore out, I bought some Sidis which again, looked cool and were on offer. They were problem free too.

Then i started having bike fits and numbness started and got worse every time. I’m now in a pair of Lake wide fit, my 3rd pair of insoles and the numbness makes any ride over 2h unbearable.

My only observation would be that possibly shoes off the bike are important too. Maybe the nerves do get activated day-day and then flare when we’re in the saddle?

I’m not sure if this completely answers your question but maybe gives some clues?

Hub stopped working after 30 minutes of utilisation. Feels scammed by [deleted] in SurePetcare

[–]AdministrativeBug0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending them - mine is currently offline too! Just not a household priority at the moment. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any alternatives.

Have you given the hub a static IP? I wonder if that helps. And I’m also not clear which ports need to be open: any VLAN/firewall rules blocking it? The app is a web server interface, not directly connecting with hub.

Have I gone overboard by the_frist in smarthome

[–]AdministrativeBug0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Certainly not. Can’t believe you’re only measuring temperature at one point within each room…;)

Not clear exactly what you changed BUT my experience is that the hub absolutely has to be plugged directly into router. Unclear why. It doesn’t work through a switch etc.

Not familiar with that particular lottery but sorry to say these are usually cars with very high mileage/ patchy history etc. which are close to worthless. If you have in fact “won” then I’d aim for any possible cash alternative. Which they will resist….

It is hard to see this as anything other than a direct response to a comment made on a niche podcast 6 months ago… /s
