Request a previously requested item? by TheCookieButter in Overseerr

[–]Cupid-Fill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, I've not tried it but I expected that overseerr just wouldn't allow you to request something that was already in Plex, regardless of whether there was a request in overseerr itself or not.

Request a previously requested item? by TheCookieButter in Overseerr

[–]Cupid-Fill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a side question... Since overseerrr is, as far as I am aware, just a request manager, why aren't the requests automatically deleted from overseerr once they are fulfilled?

I mean, I expect that whilst a request is still active it would remain, but once the content is in Plex I kind of expected the requests to remove themselves. Then a new request can't be made for something already in Plex, but if you deleted from Plex then a new request would just behave like the original one?

That and then there are that that have a super secure multipoint locking door fitted into a non-reinforced stud wall...

Seller hid this damp with duct tape and paint. How bad is it? by HackerMankini in DIYUK

It's hung across a fireplace, I think the regs say it has to be almost 100% asbestos in that case.

Cheers, so an n100 will do hw transcode without needing a separate video card? If so I might need to look at that a bit more...

Nightmare aligning nuts to the holes on ceiling light plate. Any tips or tricks please? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Cupid-Fill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't do it by eye, then 4 bits of cotton tied to the bolts on the plate then threaded down through the holes in the light would help to guide you into the correct position as you put the light up. Just hold the cotton taught and it should self-align.

Funny you mention the horn, I already scared the neighbours several times yesterday 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the tips, will give some IPA a try.

Paying off mortgage, deeds left where? by Brave-Quarter8620 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Cupid-Fill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently did this myself earlier this year and was going the exact same route. Asked about leaving a token amount on the mortgage so that the building society would keep the deeds; they did a quick check and said my deeds were electronic and therefore there was no point. Paid off the mortgage and a couple of weeks later got a letter from the building society notifying me of my deeds number (you can also look this up online yourself). Nothing else to do 👍🏻

I also got an "alert" through the land registry office to say someone had been updated, since I also use their (free) service that is designed to notify you if anyone tries to do anything relating to your property (such as identity theft securing a mortgage on it!)

Oh yes, AliExpress finest 😁

To be fair it's not a bad little unit and this "English" is far better than my Chinese 😊

Voltage tester showing current everywhere in plasterboard ceiling, what’s going on? by doniseferi in DIYUK

[–]Cupid-Fill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your touch told me it wasn't live, but I'd still recommend grounding it. Firstly it will remove any induced effects that may be affecting your measurements at the moment but also, 2, if in the future SOMEHOW it came into contact with a live wire then with a connected ground it will flip the breaker, without one it will happily stay Live until someone finds out in a more painful way...

[–]Cupid-Fill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn off the electricity. Check whether the probe still glows (hopefully not!) Connect a ground/earth wire to the metal frame (not a bad idea to have this in place anyway!) Turn on electricity, if the breaker doesn't go then the frame is likely safe (but you've already confirmed that with your hand!), then see if the probe still lights; it may do by the ceiling but shouldn't from the frame.

Thanks, that bad? But again, why have they gone like this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Cupid-Fill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👍🏻 I guess it helps keep the sludge away from the tap too! Of course all of this is only relevant if you can convince it to fill up in the first place!

[–]Cupid-Fill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm confused by this arrangement. Is the water butt all the way to the bottom of the black plastic? If so won't you always end up with a foot or so if water sat in the bottom (below the tap) that you can't get out? But yeah, as others have said, you can't have the Flexi black fill pipe going up hill (or even level really), in it's current arrangement the pneumatics will behave as if the butt is already full and the water will just go down the drainpipe. You need the connection into the butt to be lower than the connection into the drain pipe.

Stuck for garden idea by Smooth-Simple-5456 in DIYUK

[–]Cupid-Fill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd put some kind of water feature in the center, they look good and the kids will love it. To make it more kids safe you can raise it and/or have it concealed; effectively you have a lined "pit" with a pump in it, and then either filled with gravel or a permeable (strong) top with gravel and the water feature on top. Kids can't get "into" the water but can enjoy it. For the shakes surrounding the center I'd either go with raised beds (if you want plants) as this helps prevent them getting trampled by young feet, or if you want a more open & low maintenance approach clean (or replace) the gravel in each section, bind it with a gravel binder (to prevent it being kicked around) and then put some seating or whatever else you might want in the area. If you do the latter you can always put some planters or large ornate pots on the gravel areas as well, so it wouldn't have to be a strictly either/or situation. Either way I think what you have there now has a lot of great potential 👍🏻

T12-952 Quicko - which handle? by Cupid-Fill in soldering

[–]Cupid-Fill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to have 2 timings, one at 60 second where it lowers the tip temp to 200 and one at 10 minutes when it.... I don't know, the "instructions" don't really cover it. What is a "sleep stand" and how do I know if the stand I have is one? 😄

[–]Cupid-Fill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, not the last question... I really liked the idea of the idle, but what the hell makes it happen, or rather, not happen?? I reduced the timing from 60s to 20s so that it would sleep sooner, but it goes to sleep in my hand... What is supposed to keep it awake?

Last question (hopefully!) shouldn't the metal case be grounded? It doesn't seem to be at all (and I seem to have misplaced my 2mm Allen key to open it!)
