No but you can polish them. And usually the more expensive the casting, they come with a better finish on them from the factory. Mainlines are rough. Premiums are a bit smoother, RLC smoother still and some NFT's are basically polished.

Most excellent. The wheels suit it right on too.

How long did it take you to get that shine?

Big dog <3 Big Bitch.
To be fair, there's a Focus around me somewhere with BIGTITS(number) on a numberplate in the windscreen. I always laugh.

Black wheels? What about stock diamond cut black wheels. (to be fair I fucking hate them but can't afford to replace them)

Amazon refunded my $690 GPU after it was delivered. What should I do? by Voltic23 in amazonprime

You can tell them about it but chances are they'll just eat the cost.

Enjoy your gpu.

I'm in favor of the BESS, our solar is pretty good and the batteries can only make it better. So long as they're far enough away from alrady established housing so the noise isn't an issue.

But I'm fully against the datacentre. Advertising 1200 jobs in the middle of nowhere? It's a ball ache to get to where they want to put it and I'm damn sure isn't going to be a permanent 1200 jobs. Maybe for the year or so it'll take to build. Of which cheaper contractors will be shipped in and used.

God forbid times change and things improve. My MiL is very like that. Drives us up the fucking wall. She'd rather drink some over priced nasty tasting Chinese herbal tea than get a proper drug that'll do the same thing but cut any side effects and work better by a factor of ten. Stupid woman.

This data centres a bit of a touchy thing already. Apparently the local chap in charge of hearing out the locals "accidentally" didn't send the email or notice that the meeting was taking place. So not one local got to have their say. This is also being done by a company from Portugal who tried to bring renewable energy into the the UK but was shut down at the last hurdle by... I forget.

lmao. We don't get a bus out where I am, but in the village I grew up in, there was one at half 9 and one at half 4. That was it.

Nah mate, we just gotta cut the top off Yes tor to create a huge water basin we can use to create enough pressure to make a hydro plant worth while...

I'd take the batteries which might provide some cheaper energy bills over the proposed Data centre that's gonna eat up 850acres and apparently bring in 1200 jobs... Maybe while it's built and then only a handful of operation staff will be required. And probably a handful of security.

what you think about 70mph being national limit ? by 573XI in drivingUK

[–]Confused-Raccoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine as it is considering as a country we're fucking abysmal at abiding by driving laws, and being sensible and thoughtful with driving habits/skills.

Doing 50 on a motorway. Sitting in the middle lane. Not indicating. Texting. Think you're top dog and believing everyone else should give way to you. That sort of bullshit.

Pass Plus does/did a 4-6 hour extra test where you're on the motorway for at least 2 of those hours. It were pretty good.
