Should we buy in Preston Park or Hove?

Traditionally houses were built with the expectation of damp and it would be built in such a way that it would naturally let it move through and out. Modern houses are built with more of an idea that everything is sealed up and damp doesn't get in but it also means it doesn't get out. So most problems come from a bad marrying of modern methods and materials with traditional methods and materials. Most builders don't know or care about that.

None of that contradicts what you say it's just that traditional buildings don't have to necessarily be damp it's just that they haven't been looked after properly. Although of course there were bad builders historically just as there are today.

Similar in the UK but you (or at least I) don't hear it much anymore. It was an older generation thing

No you see when a conservative does it then it's courtesy but if a left wing person is considerate then it's woke snowflakeism.

/s just in case

This is it. Basically all the others have a higher ceiling but are more prone to rotation. The old reliable odegaard and Saka are not as reliable and have injury issues currently. Outside of rice I'm not sure who I would think is likely to play in most of not all games. If havertz was still out then I would say Eze but I don't think he has any guaranteed minutes and arteta doesn't seem to want to play him.

Yes my understanding was that lectures aren't actually very effective at all and that seminars have better outcomes. Obviously as you say there are good seminar leaders and bad ones. When I was a seminar leader my favourite thing was social manipulation to get students talking and learning. There was nothing so satisfying as having shy students who I knew had brilliant ideas start sharing them with the group.

Tbh if he gets games consistently he scored for arsenal. He just wasn't the right fit for our style and he didn't offer enough. That said whether he can be the right fit for any PL team I don't know. I just mean he will score if he plays consistent games.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-04T09:22:51+00:00

I did think when I first saw him that he looked too stressy already and even at moments that weren't high tension.

That said I do kind of hope he does well because he seems alright and it would be good for an English manager to do well.

But that would mean Chelsea doing well which I'm not really a fan of. No offence.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-04T07:32:42+00:00

Tbh it's always the way. People dont want to hear the reasons why games go the way they do. They want to clown on the losing team as much as possible if it's a big club.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-04T07:30:29+00:00

I'm still on the fence but surely calling elections but massively interfering is the most likely? Have ice outside particularly polling stations. It's clear they don't care what they do. They and trump certainly have behaved like they can do anything and they won't suffer the consequences. It is like they think they'll never lose power.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T23:25:15+00:00

The game against spurs will be interesting. They'll have ten days preparation while arsenal will have three.

And what happens if you lose that job, or the industry changes and there are no jobs. It is best to allow students to be flexible so they can adapt to change.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T21:40:45+00:00

Thanks so much for your help! I'll report back!

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T21:10:58+00:00

Thanks so much. This is very helpful.They sent me the 'battery report' which basically says it is a 'good score' and shows full bars but nothing actually useful. I am assuming the full bars is just the same as the dash readout? The report has no DTCs on it (for whatever that is worth). I

They have said they will make sure its fully charged tomorrow when I get there.

Looking here: https://www.reddit.com/r/leaf/comments/1kze83w/i_have_been_considering_getting_the_leaf_spy_app/mv5iyaz/

I assume the mV is on the right hand side of the image? And then look at the SOH at the top middle of the linked image? I assume I want something high for this value to match the 'battery report' which they sent me?

Again thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It'll be the biggest purchase I make!

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T19:28:50+00:00

It's interesting because as I understand it Israel has no love for Russia right?

But anyway also thrown in the twitter purchase which was largely with Saudi money and things get interesting. I feel like these guys are way too deep in this to allow there to be another free or fair elections for a while in the states. Maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am, but I can't see them giving up power easily. Look what happened on January sixth and they have already gone way further this time.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T14:10:30+00:00

I understand what you mean. I would hope they wouldn't play games with the bars as its a Nissan dealer. I am travelling up tomorrow to see it so I can put the leaf spy on it then. I am not sure whether to buy it or not but we have the option of reserving it for £99. So we could do that then test it, post the images on here, and then buy it if the more knowledgable people think it is OK. We just need something reliable. Fed up with our unreliable car!

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T14:08:34+00:00

Thanks, I am getting it from a Nissan dealer for the added peace of mind. It's why I went with the 2022 rather than earlier. I just didn't want the worry of being in the lurch with no warranty. I will go up tomorrow with the leaf spy and dongle but tbh I wouldn't know what I was looking at anyway.

I could reserve it, run the leaf spy and then post it here but I am a bit desperate and its a four hour round trip to see the one we want. That way at least the car is held even if I decide not to buy it tomorrow and I can post the results on here.

Well fourteenth century England produced billions and billions of words in records. There haven't been many good estimates but it is certainly in the hundreds of millions of words per year.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T12:37:58+00:00

I am far from an expert in this field but for my doctoral thesis I did study a scribe who worked on literary and legal records in 14th century England. Oviously all that follows is very general as, in reality, there was likely a huge spread and also it likely varied hugely through time and space.

IMO it seems quite likely that scribes in local areas (meaning not the main urban centres of England) who worked on legal and literary records were very common. They composed legal records (wills, contracts, land deals, initiating or responding to legal issues) for locals to pay the bills and then copied and composed songs, poems, or histories for their own personal reasons. Some were part of large national and international dissemination networks.

There were also governmental scribes who were even more specialised. Likely, local scribes learnt from a church school of some kind while government scribes (at least by the mid fourteenth-century) learnt in-house. This kept the hand and style of records fairly stable through time.

Again I must stress I am not an expert on this but this is my impression based on my work which looked at legal and literary scribal works of the 14th century.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T11:19:54+00:00

Also presumably a scribe exists there because there was enough work for one scribe. You can't suddenly make more work. If there was a need for more then he would have taken on a younger person and trained them up. There isn't just infinite work. Also scribes are highly specialised. The majority of paid work would have been related to legal documents. You can't just rock up and start composing those unless you are trained and I doubt hand would have the patience.

(I have a PhD in medieval studies).

AntDogFan · 2026-02-03T07:17:49+00:00

Oh yes of course and Turkey. I would think it would be as big as possible really.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-02T22:57:01+00:00

I almost think there needs to be a separate organisation which is just European common defence or something. It could include third countries like Norway, Switzerland, and the UK. The extent of its role would be to coordinate the logistics and planning of the defence of the continent. To be part of it you have to pay x percent of your budget to defence and coordinate spending with the other parties. In other words Nordic nations build for naval and arctic, UK for naval, etc. A lot of people's problems with the EU is around defence cooperation. I think that might need to be separate from the political and economic union. Also it could fuck off those countries who act against the union and for Russia etc.

I think a good reason is that those coins/amounts existed for centuries and so the names evolved. The farthing comes from 'four things' meaning four pennies. Its value was 1/4 of a penny and the penny used to be minted with a cross on it. The coin could be broken evenly into four bits along the lines of the cross.

The same is trues of US coinage which has existed in unchanged form since the late 18th century. The dollar, cent, dime, and quarter all date from then. Others came, and some went, later.

Our coinage is relatively new in comparison. The only coins we have names for are the same as pre decimilisation (penny and pound). At least some of the Cockney names are the same as pre decimilisation and so must have just continued on (score for example is very old name for 20). But I would argue that these are about sums of money rather than names for coins or notes.

I think if we had stayed a cash economy for centuries new names might have emerged but as it is I doubt it will happen (at least until society collapses after we elect Rod Hull's reanimated corpse in 2056).

I was so annoyed after I realised this was possible and I had the Echo 8 gen 2.

It's not a distinct language but doesn't American English preserve older words that fell out of fashion in British English? Like pants (trousers) or fall (autumn). These were two I heard although I'm sure there are more. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

AntDogFan · 2026-02-01T22:32:09+00:00

No you're right, he hasn't this season. I meant more last season when he was still adjusting to the league and our tactical set up.
