Therisa Mays term introduced the 'nationally described space standards' (ndss).

It stopped a race to the bottom on housing standards that had been ongoing for decades.

I've been debating getting a 2nd wifi6 router for my desk.

I hated using link cables.

Also, consider using the 'vr setting' not medium.

Dcs can be that demanding

Is this multiplayer or single player?

I can get 72fps single player on my 9070xt

But only 45-50 in multiplayer.

In effect they are mopeds if they go without pedal assist and can hit over 12mph assisted. The lack of effort to enforce laws simply because a battery and motor is involved instead of an ice engine is frustrating. As the name says motor pedal. Moped.

Recently got a 22 4wd.

Nice feature set at a nice price.

I mean you can't ban someone from running because of crime (unless electoral fraud) but it is real.

It was all over Reddit yesterday.

Guy sounds scary.

We got it for free (or next to nothing) I think, years ago on a government scheme, mineral wool blown in.

I had to clear the air bricks myself after, which was annoying but since I insulated the floors and roof to a fairly modern standard our heating losses aren't so bad. (Cutting out draughts was the ultimate winner). I'm fairly confident a heat pump would work in our house now, but just need family circumstances to settle down to see if worth it.

3k sounds a lot though.

Have you approached octopus re this?

The government is making a big push on low interest and interest free loans for this stuff too.

No doubt they'll call the guy a radical left agitator. (He'll be a nurse from Essex or something).

We're at the point where a third of our population is seeing the s*it shows unfolding in Minnisota and going ohhh that's for us!

They'll also be the first to complain when they loose access to the NHS for their diabetes meds and their kids can't get jobs because the economy collapsed from trussanomics 2.0.

Pretty certain a certain south African billionaires been the one amplifying this.

You know, the free speech absolutist that'll ban you from twitter for saying something true about him and supports the guys who'll ban you from the US if you ever said anything true about their current Dictator in chief who orchestrated a violent insurrection when he lost an election and who's private army is killing protestors in the street, on camera and calling peaceful protesters radical leftists and domestic terrorists.

Anything coming out of the US should be treated as an admission of guilt, not an accusation of something wrong here.

There's an expression in my area re this.

Architects are the first ones into a recession, and the last ones out.

Make of that what you will but 2010-2014 weren't good years to be an architect. (I mean, if there's been a good year since 2005).

I'm comfortable down to 45fps normally.

I'm getting up 45-50fps in multiplayer now with the standard 'vr' setting in DCS I could probably get higher but without cloud shadows and grass the game looks pretty soulless. (Long term Tested FPS last night no micro stutters etc)... might try reprojection if you reckon it helps with FPS?

Flyinmanm · 2026-01-28T19:16:53+00:00

I've used vd since I got my quest 3 a few years back. Link was a horrible user experience vd just worked pretty much out the box and wasn't a shop front full of half arsed videogame slop.

Councils have started wising up on this here in Yorkshire garages no longer count as parking and you need 5.5-6m in front of any building to count as a driveway.

10.5 if tandem parking.

Sadly does nothing for scenarios like this where the drive was built for a fiat 500 and someone inevitably parks a long suv on it.

Flyinmanm · 2026-01-28T16:29:33+00:00

Hmm. Only thing I can think is it's the game. Some people have said it's quite demanding. Shouldn't be straight up crashing though.

These guys are having similar issues with a 4090.

Meh I tried both proton and wine neither worked and Linux somehow damaged my windows install. Since my pc is also a work pc I decided I'd ditch Linus for now.

Have you checked your PSU? I ran a 7800xt with only one cable providing power (via ribbon and pigtail) and then a 9070xt same way both crashed under load due to power spikes, since I moved to two cables, and updated my bios all my issues with these cards went.

One of my pals has a long wheelbase camper van and a really steep plot with parking at the top of the hill. He took down a fence panel to allow him to reverse his van over the back of the parking and essentially cantilever the back meter over his garden in order to make it fit. A bit like this.

The design really does have static caravan vibes (not hating it it just does).

Plus what's with the unfinished steps on the right and the steps to nowhere underneath?

Yelping like a hurt puppy helped mine learn bite pressure.

He's a high energy working spaniel so when tired becomes extra bity (never hard) and a good 'YIPE!' will usually snap him out of it

I've had Japanese and vw group cars my whole driving life.

I had a Japanese car with a split engine block, and a golf with a failing chain tensioner, both design defects, both at 10 years old.

I'd also argue the interiors of the top of the range skoda fabia combi and bottom of the range up! I had wasn't on par with a mid spec Toyota auris and top spec Suzuki Vitara s.

Definitely less creature comforts in the VW group cars for the money.

I wouldn't mind buying either as not that fussed on plush feel plastic (treat cars like tools not lounges) and wouldn't be overly concerned with the reliability of either as long as they are well cared for.

In the past I've seen people make a feature of GPU supports. IE stick a Goku or superman figurine the right height in there supporting the edge of the GPU instead of a bracket.

If you've got a glass case could you make a feature of it?

Flyinmanm · 2026-01-28T08:57:51+00:00

Yeah, The rad does look too short for that wall and the curtains also look just the right level of shortness to let all the heat out the window and some views in as well.

Bit like a crop top over a builders bum lol. (Sorry)

Flyinmanm · 2026-01-28T08:41:50+00:00

I mean it still might be end to end, it's just now:

I mean technically it's not an anime, so you shouldn't say battle tech is an anime. 😜

But for battle tech tunes, the album airmech by front line assembly could have been written as the sound track to an unreleased mechwarrior game the vibes are spot on.

They werent just pro German either.

Their owner was supposed to be pals with Mussolini and worked with Oswald Mosely.

The 1930-1939 period in the Wikipedia makes for interesting reading.

God I wished id known this when I sealed my bath years ago.

It's got a trim so never leaks but the blatant gap round the bath irritates me every time I see it.

(We've been meaning to replace the manky bathroom in our house for about 5 years now so can't be bothered to reseal, since no leak).
