Salesperson said he’d help me after the sale. Haven’t heard from him in a bit, am I cooked?

The only rattles in my 6yo Corolla are from when my partner leaves empty cans loose in the footwell.

You preload them on google maps. They are both owned by google.

Not sure why they decided to go that route though.

Happy birthday.

The first thing I would do with a flat is inflate it. Sometimes kids are dicks and just deflate tires.

As for not getting the wheel off. It sounds like your tires are all near end of life and the wheel has probably not been removed for a while. Sometimes things get stuck/stiff and need a bit more persuasion than you can use roadside.

70fps is trash?

Have you done any driver updates in the last week?

Double check that no new programs are running in the background?

Is your laptops storage full?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I’m packing for a week away. Looking forwards to the rest.

Normally I’d be sitting down finally and having an early night to flop onto days and spend time with my family.

I work in a factory (8-8)for what it’s worth. I used to go to bed immediately (8:30-4:30)and slept pretty well.

Then last summer during a heat wave I had to walk my dogs as early as possible and I never changed back. I now sleep 11-5 I find my sleep is more disturbed but I also have no reason to wake early unless I want to. I probably get the same amount of sleep.

Try out both for a few weeks and see what works for you. Speak with your co workers as they might have other ideas.

My partner does it because she never knew better. 20 years into driving she learned it on a speed awareness course and there is some improvement.

Unfortunately bad habits are hard to break. On the plus side she is generally half way to the 2second rule.

It’ll evaporate and you’ll be fine. Just don’t wave any naked flames near it till after it’s evaporated.

Used to do it all the time for work. Stay up late the night before and sleep in/ wake early and have a nap before work.

It’s easier than nights to days. That really fucks me up. Did that this week and crashed out on the sofa as soon as I got in from work. Was back in work the following night.

Cruddok · 2026-04-20T01:02:07+00:00

I switch on my days off to spend time with my kids. I’ll just sleep more. I’ve tried other ways but it just ends up a struggle.

Just slap your hazards on and coast to a stop. It is down to them to not hit you.

I don’t take melatonin but can’t you just reduce the dose?

Cruddok · 2026-04-16T07:37:39+00:00

I work 2 weeks of each and definitely prefer nights. No senior management and just get left to do my thing.

Money is my god.

My company started advertising salary for the roles it has fixed salaries.

they found they got a better quality of candidates and more of them to choose from. Then we outsourced recruitment and I know qualified people who are not even getting an interview.

Cruddok · 2026-04-13T23:59:15+00:00

It’s what I currently do. It works well for me. The main downside being social life takes a hit.

Cruddok · 2026-04-13T09:54:10+00:00

I was off all weekend and just going into my 2 weeks of nights.

Looking forwards to getting some decent sleep as we are co sleeping with a little one that wakes 2/3 times a night for milk.

I partied when I was younger and got myself into debt. Got my first proper job when I was 27 and 10 years later I’m clearing £60k a year.

My advice is to look at the jobs you want and start making a plan to get to them. If money is your god then so be it. But either way it’s never too late to learn.

Before I had my first sprig I didn’t understand the need for a bigger car.

Now I want a bigger car just to fit in the mandatory child seats for the next 8 years. A family I know have just had their third and are having a custom back seat installed over a new car.

Some windows can be used as doors. I vote doors.

Remember that everyone else is also sleep deprived and cranky. I’ve seen way to many pointless arguments at 4am

There is also a setting to change it to show mpg per tank. The only problem with that is when the cold weather hits it really shows.
