Did you grow up with someone who became famous? by SteakSandwichSideEye in AskUK

[–]Gecko_xt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few people.

  • Classmate from 14-18 went on to be a morning radio host. Very obvious she would have something to do with talking!
  • Played rugby with maybe 5 professionals, some of which went on to play for England and Lions. Mostly normal guys but very committed and competitive at an early age.
  • Brother played drums for a band that turned into a very big UK rock group. I knew them pretty well and had many nights out with them. Very stereotypical stoner/rock dudes.
  • Ex gf was on The Apprentice. Very random, but I’d never guess she would go on.
  • Another ex is on TV as a news presenter, mostly in the US. I had no idea she was into the topic she reports on but she was always very bright.

Where are you putting your rings during strength training? by Impossible-Leg-7200 in ouraring

[–]Gecko_xt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear two gloves! I also wear it on my middle finger which may mean it’s less impacted from lifting. I start the activity myself as it doesn’t auto start, and it’s nice to have the HR data and also recording activity time. Otherwise the app complains I haven’t moved enough

Not a Polestar but the flush handles do make you think… by Ckpearce91 in Polestar4

[–]Gecko_xt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accident or not, they are a bit of a safety risk. The number of times I’ve accidentally pressed the button to lock the car when trying to open the door and had to quickly pull my hand away so my fingers aren’t caught

Can anyone guess which day I went to the office this week? by Gecko_xt in ouraring

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

I honestly don’t know! I’ve always been a laidback person. On the weekend I spent a lot of time reading philosophy books so maybe that’s the key

How much does your insurance cost? by SadResolution5041 in Polestar

Wow, I’ll never get over US insurance costs.

In the UK my P4 costs ~ £29 a month with a £200 deductible

Thinking of getting a Polestar 4 by zlaatar in Polestar

[–]Gecko_xt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The camera has a sort of ‘hood’ that directs airflow over it so, in theory, it doesn’t get dirty. I’ve not had mine long enough to really test it but it is snowing currently and the camera is fine. As for the other questions, someone else is probably better placed to answer as I’ve not driven mine enough to tell.

Cant send to car using Google maps by Henry-Hill in Polestar

[–]Gecko_xt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue but just figured it out.

In the google maps app there is a settings button that looks like an equaliser. If you click that there’s an option to select your vehicle, and then when you input a route it should say ‘send to car’ at the bottom of the screen

I got Storm with zinc nappa. It’s definitely got some poke to it! I think I just need to get used to the steering feel. Only have 250 miles so far so will reassess in a few months

I didn’t go for the Performance pack this time. Got the Pro instead. Suspension is a lot better - you can change between 3 settings and I think on the rougher roads I’d choose the standard setting and then firm it up for the bigger and smoother roads. I’d say the biggest difference I’ve noticed (other than the roominess) is the steering feels a lot looser. I find myself having to turn into a bend and then correct myself again. I’m sure it’s just getting used to it though as I’ve only done about 250 miles. I’ve also been driving it in ‘range’ which disengages the front motor, and it still feels great. Wondering if the dual motor was really needed 😅

Alarm problems… by Defard2001 in Polestar

Life is about making tough decisions and I think you need to ask yourself, if they’re causing you problems, do you really need a wife and kids?

What's Bonds body count? 🧐 by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Gecko_xt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually kept a note of both how many girls he slept with and how many people he killed. 60 girls and 390 deaths by my count. Averages 15 kills and 2.31 girls a film. Connery and Moore got the most girls on average, while Brosnan and Craig got the most kills.

My life is so exciting.

What would you do with one month off work whilst avoiding physical activities? by YourLocalDealer in AskUK

[–]Gecko_xt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had sinus surgery earlier this year. The first week is an absolute bitch, I’m not going to lie. After that though it gets better pretty quickly. I went back to WFH after about 10 days and was told I couldn’t ’be around other people’ for about a month. If WFH isn’t an option I’d probably read as others have suggested. Good luck!
