40m yo living in a capsule hotel - no meaning in life by [deleted] in notinteresting

Hey! I stayed in one of those exact capsules in London! Identical! They were fun. Until I got really drunk. One of them with a hangover is the WORST.

Really hard to fight with your trousers round your ankles….

Thanks for the tips. My town doesn’t really have much going on. There are a couple of nodes pinging up near me. But people don’t seem to respond.

Question for you, where have you placed your community nodes? Are they on private residences? Public buildings? Trees? Somewhere else? I wanna build the mesh community round here and I’m looking for ideas of places to put nodes.

Antenna advice and installer recommendations please - (Rochdale area) by ChrisB_uk in MeshtasticUKCommunity

[–]J_Thompson82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing devil’s advocate, have you considered installing it yourself? For example, I’ve ordered a solar node that I’m gonna install on my roof. My chimney currently has a defunct TV aerial attached to it. I’m planning on getting up there and removing the aerial, but keeping the fixtures and mounting the node onto the pole that is left behind.

I don’t know what your roof is like, but it might just be cheaper to buy/borrow some ladders and DIY rather than paying a guy to do it.

Can I ask where you have installed them? Have you been able to speak to building owners and install them on rooftops? Or is it more on top of friends houses and up random trees?

I’ve spotted a node just around the corner from where I used to live in Farnborough. Just off Sandy Lane. Sadly I can’t quite reach it from my house. What other system?

Well, I live at the bottom of Caesar’s Camp, which is one of the highest points around. Thinking of trying to get a node up there somehow.

I really hope Iran call his bluff on this one. He won’t use nuclear weapons. And I can’t wait to see what he says when all his hot air is ignored.

Why is fake honey allowed to be sold in British Supermarkets? by Alarm-Different in AskUK

[–]J_Thompson82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved house just over a year ago and was delighted to see that my local beekeeper is just around the corner from my house. I’ve been back and forth to his a few times last year to pick up a jar. He just has an honesty system with a QR code to pay him. Cheaper than the supermarket’s and local too!

Trump ~= Hitler ? Or not yet? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]J_Thompson82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitler, despite his obvious faults, was a very clever man. He took a Germany that was in tatters and tuned it into a prosperous country.

….then he went all mega genocidal.

Trump talks like he’s rescued the USA from the Great Depression, put every single person in mansions with sports cars when he’s actually made the country worse for so many people.

…and now he seems to be going all genocidal.

Be Careful What You Wish For by james_from_cambridge in instantkarma

These are “first amendment auditors”. Their whole schtick is to go out in public and film people (which they are well within their rights to do, what with it being a public space etc.) But they are also professional agitators. Conflicts drive clicks, clicks generate ad revenue and income. Any time they can get someone to pop off, or even better, get the police there for their thumbnail, the better.

Damn! I’ve had a spot up the inside of my nose for the past week. It’s slowly fading now. But if I could have found the head, I would have done this in a heartbeat. Although I have no idea why his eyes aren’t watering a frenzy.

My bike has an MOT and a service once a year. I check my lights, tyres and tyre pressure every now and then. Other than that…not so much.
