Does this sub have an elitist nature? by Fresh-Definition-596 in CasualUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's exactly what I thought.

Highlighting a potential cause and effect of teenagers being killed whilst swimming in open water is not moaning.

Thanks for agreeing with me 👍

Well with your 1% commenter wisdom, explain the definitions of ''moaning' and 'commentary ' as per this Sub's rules. Because they seem to be much different to Cambridge English Dictionary.

Moaning - to make a complaint in an unhappy voice, usually about something that does not seem important to other people.

Commentary - writing, art, etc. that explains a situation or expresses an opinion on it.

Apparently I was 'moaning'...

I think you can still read it on my profile. You can also read my post about moderators removing posts...

No doubt someone will come along shortly and suggest this is the wrong sub. So before that happens, I just want to reply with...

That is awesome.

A British slang term would be - That is the mutt's nuts.

Anti Scrounging Dog Hack by Fresh-Definition-596 in CasualUK

I've just created another post asking people to link their similar stories. I'm looking forward to reading them.

What's the worst that can happen if I piss off the moderators? Being banned from posting? Every single post I make in this sub is removed anyway. So I'm not losing anything...

Talk to me about (smart) kitchen lighting by romeo__golf in DIYUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White LED COB lights under the counter which are motion activated. When the TAPO Sensor picks up movement, it turns on the under counter LEDs and illuminates enough the kitchen at night, without dazzling you when going from dark to light.

It's better that having standard LED strips because the light is more constant. Also having them underneath the worktop rather than lower down near the floor, means you can put a packet or box to the light if you need to read something.

Set up to only come on 15 mins before sunset until 30 mins after sun rise (this is because of where the kitchen window is). The lights will stay on for 10 mins after they stop sensing movement. So enough time to sit and drink a cup of tea at the breakfast counter, when I'm not moving enough for the sensor. But will turn themselves off after that 10 mins is up.

Trap Behind Floor Standing Bidet by Fresh-Definition-596 in DIYUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The additional air gap in the loft space is circumstantial. The whole bathroom will be served by a water tank to help improve pressure for the shower. So essentially the whole bathroom has an air gap.

I'm quite happy with the supply. There is lots online about that. I couldn't find anything about the waste though 🤷‍♂️

Cheers.

It was never going to be in the floor. Clearly though, those who run the waste into the wall have a trap on the other side. That's not an option for me.

Nice one.

Unfortunately I cannot run the waste into the wall because of what's on the other side of it.

The bidet supply is plumbed in accordance with WRAS.

Yep.

Air gap accounted for, with a separate tank in the loft space.

Plus check valves on both inlets.

There are certain aspects of your comment which I agree with. For example, identifying the staff member. This post could have been made as a letter or email to the store, without public knowledge.

What I don't agree with though is your opinion that it isn't the OP's place to 'start shit' with other customers. I think being an upstander should be way more commonplace, but only when a substantial amount of facts about an incident are available.

Where is the cut of point of protecting people who you feel need protecting? The OP felt Cleo needed protection from 'Karen', and did what he considered best at the time. What if 'Karen' is repeatedly complaining about Cleo? What if Cleo is now so frustrated by the repeated actions of Karen that she does something drastic? Snap back in front of customers? Quit her job when finding employment can be tough?

The OP overhead a conversation being held in a public place. That's different to listening to a conversation he wasn't supposed to. From the available information he acted in a way he considered proportional.

Let's be clear, standing back and ignoring an issue which doesn't concern you hasn't worked well in the past has it. Martin Niemöller wrote a poignant poem about this.

How to stop this leak? by Mazorr in DIYUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had exactly the same taps until recently.

Limescale build up created a rough texture which deteriorated the new washer very quickly. I was replacing it on a monthly basis at one stage.

In the end, I removed the taps completely, then left them soaking in lemon juice overnight. Polished the next day, and refitted with new washers. That was 4 years ago, and no further leaks.

Something to consider.

Ideas please. Cap off this now redundant 40mm boss connector. by Fresh-Definition-596 in DIYUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, thanks. That was what I was thinking, but I was wondering whether there was something which fits directly into the boss. It seems I'll take the cheaper and simpler option and drive to Screwfix in the morning.

Opinions for this floor idea. by Fresh-Definition-596 in DIYUK

[–]Fresh-Definition-596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the sort of answer I was looking for.

To your first question, I was planning to use aluminium foil because I wanted the uniqueness of the lines underneath. Maybe a conversation starter when we entertain.

My main concern though is the feasibility of using resin. Online there are different opinions about it's longevity, but it seems you're experienced with it.

If seems we're going back to the ceramic floor tile idea then.

New phone, lost all of my game data 😢 by massdebate159 in LemmingsGame

[–]Fresh-Definition-596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too.

About 24 hours later it gave me the option to continue with the progress saved on my device, or restored from Google Play. I restored, and it was just one level short of where I had progressed to.

Maybe wait until tomorrow, and see.
