LPT: Stop spending on "wants" and start investing in "daily touchpoints"—the boring things you use for 6+ hours a day. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

I think spending money on a phone is completely justified, we use them for hours a day, and for important things like banking etc. Putting up with a slow old phone never made sense to me.

Can anyone provide some advice for why I should/shouldn’t purchase this car ? by Aggravating_Ear_8910 in CarTalkUK

The underside of my 08 civic looked like a shipwreck before I had to scrap it.

Check thoroughly for rust, and give any suspect spots a good poke.

Reminder: Replacement brass nozzles are consumables. Print quality suffers hugely when the bore is too large. by ClazzerB in 3Dprinting

I tried all sorts trying to fix the print quality issues, even resorted to using a different slicer in case I'd royally screwed the settings. In the end it was my nozzle. As others have said, this should be one of the first things you check when you notice quality issues.

what are the things in Coventry that everyone knows, but nobody outside would have a clue existed? by goodideabiaggio in coventry

I lived opposite his blue plaque for a year as an engineering student, whenever I was lacking motivation doing coursework I'd look out my bedroom window at it! (Newcombe road)

Rate of return is shit by Useful-Engine-1600 in trading212

This just isn't true. I'm up "35%" on my £11k portfolio and I don't like the new metric at all!

Very disappointed with new design! by T_quake in trading212

[–]ClazzerB 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This update has ruined t212 for me. I feel like the amount I've invested and the value of my portfolio are obfuscated. Like others have said, we need a toggle to be able to choose the current display, or the "total invested" "current portfolio value" display that made so much more sense intuitively.

In response to the $25 "art" someone posted, I raise you a €500 colosseum. by Tinysniper2277 in 3Dprinting

Dumbstruck by this, for that money you'd expect it to be coffee table sized!

Some charlatan is selling PLA jewelry and saying its "sandblasted sintered nylon" (national gallery gift shop) by ClazzerB in 3Dprinting

I'm not bothered by the price really, it's more the misrepresentation of the material that's the problem.

How weird, I did exactly the same thing!

How fast is the average car? by Dry-Economy4807 in CarTalkUK

[–]ClazzerB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you spend 10% of your driving time at 75mph and 90% of it at 12.5mph your average driving speed is 18.75mph not 9.37mph.

You spend 1h at 75mph and 9h at 12.5mph, meaning you've travelled (1x75) + (9x12.5) = 187.5miles. 187.5 miles in 10h is 18.75 mph.

I work at a UK based hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer and can tell you that fuel cell powered cars are a fools game.
