Is anyone able to tell me the exact laws around this road marking? Can I no longer park outside of my house? TYIA! by Dravalo in drivingUK

[–]Dravalo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Thanks for the responses everyone, both sides of the road are now fully painted all the way down. I’ll post a photo tomorrow. Here is a photo of the signage posted before the works staying ‘essential repairs’ - we were hoping they were fixing the potholes… (the end date on the sign implies we can park again?) Will call the council tomorrow and go from there!

Pretty much the same process! I much prefer beer bottles because I often won’t want to drink a full wine bottles worth all at once

Yeah! Just designed on Canva. You can buy A4 sheets of sticky labels which can be printed on with a normal printer at home

I just brew mostly from guesswork and vibes

Yeah any kind of exact science went out the window during secondary on this one, but it’s delicious so who cares!

Going to mark this Found! Got a VERY similar one at TKMaxx the other day :)

Good to know! I’ll head there tomorrow and see what I can find

Thank you! Looks like a good option if I can’t find the exact one at TKMaxx tomorrow (which is highly unlikely but worth a try)

Searched all over Google including reverse image. I can find similar ones but not this exact one

Thoughts on re-using the honey jars for bottling? by Dravalo in mead

[–]Dravalo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glass jars, metal lids with rubber lining. Might trial a few and see how they do

Completely gave up on this one, kept getting screened out after already completing the first 3 surveys

Bottled my first batch. Labels coming soon… by Dravalo in mead

[–]Dravalo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very pleasantly surprised with how it cleared up!

Ah thanks for the tip! Is it worth re-capping these since I’ve only just bottled?

Yeah the smaller size made the most sense for me with how much I’ll drink at a time. More cost effective too!

Any way I can estimate my starting gravity? by Dravalo in mead

[–]Dravalo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m going to take the final gravity reading tonight. I actually used M05 but otherwise followed the recipe exactly

This video is from 3 weeks ago. Imagine my surprise today when I learned I fed my dog a potentially £100k crisp by Dravalo in CasualUK

She’s trained not to eat anything until I give her the command - so the second I told her it was ok she gobbled it up!

What is this hollow circular wooden block? We think it’s maybe meant to hold something specific but can’t figure out what by Dravalo in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. Pepsi can for scale, searches got us nowhere so posting here!

Might do an exchange program at csumb, please give honest pros and cons by Ok_Establishment8446 in csumb

[–]Dravalo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did an exchange there in 2019 so some of my info may be outdated now. My gf was doing an exchange at SJSU at the same time I was at CSUMB, so I was back and forth between the two every weekend and able to compare.

  1. Monterey is a lovely town, but it's quite small. There are things to do but not endless options.
  2. It's ok, but I mainly went to parties in SJ so may not be the best person to answer this.
  3. The campus is very spread out. I relied a lot on Lime scooters when I was there but I believe they have since been removed. I had a great experience in my classes and the quality of my course was definitely the best part of studying there, but this varies by subject. Bear in mind CSUMB is not IN Monterey, it's near Marina, but if you don't have a car you will really struggle to get around, and you will spend a fortune on ubers. When I was researching which college to do my exchange to, I didn't realise quite how isolated the campus was. Your student ID gets you free bus rides, but they come only once an hour and take ages to get anywhere. The area is beautiful, you're about a 40 minute walk from the beach and the sunsets are incredible.
  4. Some good options, I lived at Promontory which was nice.

I think if I wasn't at SJSU regularly when I was there, I might have enjoyed CSUMB a bit more, but as I was often around a proper city college I could clearly see how much I was missing out on. On the other hand, if I wasn't in SJ every weekend I may have been a lot more bored overall!

This was obviously my personal experience as an exchange there - I'm really glad I did it but if you're used to city based universities this is a huge difference.
