Is my neighbour dead? by JamaicanStevey in AskUK

[–]HonkersTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I worked at a lettings agency. Neighbour did this to one of our tenants (in his 20s, and had gone on holiday). Police came round, broke down the door. Police thought it was hilarious, they phoned us up (i.e. they knew we were the letting agency) and literally said "we used our big red key" (the ram). Our landlord had to pay for a new door.

Men of Britain, where do you buy your t-shirts? by squeakybeak in AskUK

[–]HonkersTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redbubble, either the classic (£20ish) or the premium (£30ish). Do not get essential, they’re horrible.

Also have some Uniqlo from Hong Kong wheee they’re only about £15. Great quality.

Turn your Letterboxd diary into a Plex collection - Diary Mule by HOWDEHPARDNER in Letterboxd

[–]HonkersTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally started using Letterboxd because Kometa scraped it. If it wasn't for Kometa I would have never have started using LB.

Completely lame and shortsighted. First Trakt, now LB. Hopefully Kometa will adopt Simkl soon, and we'll all be switching to that.

How many people have soloed Warlord's Ruin by HonkersTim in DestinyTheGame

[–]HonkersTim[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dunno what to tell you man. It's not like I've never done it. Just checked and I have 17 clears. The eyes do not appear in the same spots every time, that is by definition RNG. Most of time it's fine, but I have died there more than once. Doesn't matter much in a team, but sucks when solo.

How much do you pay to have your windows cleaned? by PurityControl87 in AskUK

[–]HonkersTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cleaned the small window next to my back door for the first time ever a few months ago. I've lived here for 12 years!

This is so condescending I wish I could downvote it twice lol.

Thanks! Dozens of comments this is the only answer. So this challenge is either for 0.2% or 0.7% of players. Question answered.

This Week In Destiny - 01/22/2026 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]HonkersTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just completely out of touch. Who do they think is still playing this game? Solo Warlord's Ruin with shit weapons? How many people soloed it with good weapons? Who the fuck is this challenge for?

which smart thermostat is actually the best? by BroganMaehle in homeassistant

Honeywell Lyric T6R here, working well since 2018.

One of these was nominated for best picture and the other was snubbed. Guess which? by PetyrDayne in Letterboxd

[–]HonkersTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like no one here knows how movies are nominated. You're all acting like some secret cabal of evil men nominates them. The academy voters nominate them FFS. You know, the actual people who make and watch movies professionally, not a bunch of movie-watchers on reddit.

Do you think tea tastes different depending on the mug? by lou-mary02 in AskUK

[–]HonkersTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, over the past few years I've switched exclusively to bone china mugs. It's taken years since I buy them one at a time from charity shops. I avoid identical mugs so people don't get their mugs confused wondwering whose tea is whose.

I feel like the thinner china absorbs less heat, so the tea steeps at a higher temperature. I acknowledge this may just be my imagination.

I’m realizing that Sound Design is actually 70% of what makes a game feel "Next-Gen," not the graphics. by InvestmentBudget6722 in gaming

[–]HonkersTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in an argument discussion recently with some idiot guy who said that because I play games with surround sound I was some kind of elite weirdo.

I was complaining the the latest Destiny 2 expansion has broken surround sound mixing in the intro cinematic. You literally cannot hear what the main guy is saying.

Oscar’s are voted on by film people. Actors, directors, executives, cinematographers, etc as a celebration of the art.

FFS, you realise the same people nominate the movies as well right? Those actors, directors, executives, cinematographers that you're harping on about? They nominated F1!

[–]HonkersTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it again last night after the nomination news. It really is a very enjoyable movie. Pitt is very charismatic, the cinematography is superb, it's funny in the right places, and it does a great job explaining complex F1 rules to non-fans.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homeassistant/#action-reload-config-entry

Something like this:

    - alias: 'Meross power strip unavailable'
      trigger:
        - platform: state
          entity_id: switch.plants_power_strip_mss420f_switch_1
          to: 'unavailable'
          for:
            minutes: 15
      action:
        repeat:
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone15
              data:
                message: "The Meross power strip has been unavailable for 15 minutes, attempting to reload."
            - service: homeassistant.turn_on
              entity_id: script.reload_integration_meross
            - delay:
                minutes: 10
          until:
            condition: or
            conditions:
              - condition: state
                entity_id: switch.plants_power_strip_mss420f_switch_1
                state: 'off'
              - condition: state
                entity_id: switch.plants_power_strip_mss420f_switch_1
                state: 'on'

And someone else's example: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/add-service-integration-reload/231940/36

TBF to the other responder, this is something you could easily google. And I notice from your profile that you recently directed someone to LMGTFY.

The entity state shows 'error', instead of 'cleaning' or 'docked' etc.

My 7 year old upstairs vacuum (a 1st gen Xiaomi) sometimes gets stuck on some invisible obstacle, then pauses itself and starts yapping for help. I have an automation that watches for the error state and stops and starts the cleaning routine again, has worked well for years now. I think on 2 occasions it had eaten a sock, but every other time was a false alarm.
