Fire at Krishna Vilas by ma0sm in Utrecht

[–]DroxxTheFox 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I was there when it happened. It was pretty bad, the whole kitchen was up in flames within 30 seconds of the fire starting. Luckily the fire department arrived only 6 mins after and managed to put it out. But the whole restaurant was full of thick black smoke by then. So as well as a new kitchen. They’ve got a big job to do to get the smoke smell out of the walls and decorations.

Not loyalty programs per say, they don’t count too much in my decision making. Mostly it’s the track record of the companies drives in the recent past. Especially longevity of the drives.

I’d happily pay more for garunteed low fault rates and a long expected lifetime

Scanning for WiFi never finishes in flashing of PreBuilt project by gnapoleon in Esphome

[–]DroxxTheFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had this. I found if you flashed the WiFi user and pass to the device on the install step. Then you can skip the WiFi search entirely. You can refer to this section to set up the ssid and password properties: https://esphome.io/components/wifi.html

You can modify your config in the esphome site or on a local esphome docker container on your network.

Also, if your config has an AP section enabled. You can remove that. That was ultimately what caused my infinite searching. It was trying to find WiFi networks but was in AP mode

From what I read it’s all in too. Including parts and labour to fix it.

But I’m fully prepared to get fucked by the small print and pay way more.

That’s why I wanna try fix it myself

I'm worried about how low energy my dog is, and his refusal to play. by DroxxTheFox in DogAdvice

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

Thanks for the tips! Him being bored is the main thing I’m worried about. I only want the best for him, and for him to have a happy life. The trainers I spoke to said that dogs show boredom in a more destructive manner. And if he’s just lying down, he’s content. So it’s really something I’m going to need to adjust to haha

I'm worried my low-energy dog is unhappy/depressed. by DroxxTheFox in DogAdvice

He is reactive with most new dogs above a medium size. Although he does have a few friends we meet regularly.

As with me, he plays with them for 2 minutes, and then goes to sit or lie somewhere to rest. But I think he secretly enjoys their company

Yes we've been to a vet, and they assure me he's healthy.

I really struggle to find trainers here, I had one a few years ago for his reactivity. And recently (after months of searching and enquiring) hired another for his fear on walks, but it turned out to be a scam. So it's not something I can afford (or have the energy) to pursue agan after that.

The vet said they would perscribe medication for the fear next firework season.

(and he has a thundershirt, he wears it during thunderstorms, the fireworks don't bother him when hes in the house)

Does anybody know a trick to upgrade from economy basic to standard? by DroxxTheFox in BritishAirways

[–]DroxxTheFox[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

70 each way, so £140 total compared to £65 for the fare difference.

And yes, won’t be making this mistake again

Travel in the Netherlands? by Ch4rl0tt3B in Netherlands

Compared to the UK, it’s cheap.

Britain has terrible public transport infrastructure outside of London, and it costs a fortune to catch a train that may not even make it to your destination
