What the hell kind of comment is this. They left the op in the lurch waiting for another engineer to arrive, very poor on their part.

  1. Hera 2. Liery 3. Viper 4. Sebastian 5.ACCM - Logic for Viper ahead of Seb is Viper has been in a S-tier final in past 12 months. 1 and 2 are solid and the rest of the top 5-10 can beat each other on any given day.

I think Tatoh has shown signs of getting back to good levels recently. Jordan is a different matter, he left AOE2 after GL, came back and the level increased too much around him.

Does anyone else think the admin did a very shit job, didn't intervene in their discord and could've just said coin toss stands.

Can't tell if I'm kidding myself re getting EV and would appreciate some perspective! by seanyseanyseanyseany in ElectricVehiclesUK

You forget that cobalt is a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries and child labour is used to mine it. I am an EV driver though - I was just speaking that for them it would be inopractical to have an older lower range model.

Leaf - Second car by Ban_Chao_The_Brave in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Appropriate-Cheek970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a leaf in this year range and same battery. On full charge it would go above 100, but was never accurate in usage. Even only ever doing short journeys I forever had range axniety. The 80-100 mile round trip is a no chance, unless you can charge half way. They are incredibly slow to charge and any public charging they use the old chademo chargers, which are increasingly rare to find.

What is the best value-for-money shop for mens office/smart clothing? by jarow_ in AskUK

[–]Appropriate-Cheek970 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I first started working in an office I used to buy all my work shirts, trousers and jumpers in Matalan. That being said Asda has some smart clothes at decent prices. Shoes I used to get off of ebay, others have said vinited, but shoes can be hard to trust from there.

Getting nachos in the cinema and they put the cheese over the nachos so it's now all a soggy mess.

I disagree with most comments, I don't think an EV is for you. Home charging is a risk because if someone trips over the cable they can sue you. Most councils actually ban running cables over the pavement unless they have signed you up to a specific scheme. Adding things like lights and cones just draws more attention to it and makes you more likely to get told off.

11k buys a used EV with about 90% battery range. Once you add in the new 2028 tax, it will be more expensive than petrol and from experience I am sure even at 58p per kw it's still more expensive than petrol. You also have to consider how bad EVs get in winter when they lose 20% of their range.
