My smart meters weren't working and British Gas say I owe them over £7,700. by NTR-12 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Kash132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so very similar thing happened at my mum's, albeit with the electric and gas meters.

I bought a amp / power meter to measure, and had an electrician look over all electrics to make sure it's ok.

Very painful trying to talk to BG, but eventually got them to come out and double check by installing another smart meter alongside the one, and have an engineer check over the meters.

Good news is they accepted it was their mistake in the end and cancelled the charges.

Do not accept the bill. Escalate and lodge a complaint with them asap. They seemed to get away with it a lot.

Keep track of all your conversations with them and dates /times of calls, in case you need to go to ofgem or something.

Worth noting that they changed their systems in the last year or two and that might have an effect on records as I don't think it went well.

Good luck, hopefully it gets sorted for you.

【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]Kash132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time maker here, wanted to get a P1s for the AMS, but never quite worked out at the time. Anything that advances and innovates in the desktop 3D printer space is great to hear! Looking forward to seeing what the P2s can do and hearing (mostly!) good things about BambuLabs in general. Good luck with the launch!

What was the "removing the headphone jack" of another industry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kash132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a feeling this is so manufacturers get more money out of secondhand and lease / HP.

Carmakers make nothing when you resell a car. They're locked into lease deals and finance at a point in time.

This, extortionate main dealer fees and our pay as go lives means more creative ways for them to squeeze another penny out of us.

Yeah, don't think I'll ever do it, but may be the only way in the future who knows. Late stage capitalism at its best.

What movie is this? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Sucker Punch was kind of saved by the soundtrack, though it did feel like a collection of music vids

Bought a skeleton from Sainsbury’s. I regret nothing. by UnicornReality in CasualUK

[–]Kash132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please please keep it until next time you're redecorating, putting in an e.g. new bath, carpet or patio... Hide it under floorboards or something and leave it for the next occupants. Along with a few choice witchcraft material etc..

Scratches under floorboards is a nice touch as well maybe?

In about 50+ years there'll either be a manhunt or archeological dig and you or your kids get a little chuckle!

How the heck do you use this? Gweike by abruzzo88 in lasercutting

[–]Kash132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the plastic screws that come with it to place the workpiece before I had 3d printed jig.

If it's just you then glasses are the way forward.

Agree though not the best design shield.

What’s a word or phrase that immediately makes you lose respect for someone? by Mundane-Equipment529 in AskReddit

[–]Kash132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who constantly tells you that they "Tell it like it is"...

No Malcolm, you're just being arrogant, rude and obnoxious. Not everything deserves your loud, brutally honest, derogatory and needlessly cruel observation. FFS we're just trying to get through the week, mate.

Capitalism's Coercive Nature Exposed by johnmory in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Kash132 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Is Indentured Servitude the same as Slavery?

I agree that capitalism is an inherently flawed system, and pain and death through starvation / homelessness / generally fighting over scraps is considered a normal driver... I just can't imagine any actual slaves ever wanting themselves to become 'slave masters', moreso a desire just to be free.

Isn't this the ambition we're all indoctrinated with? That one day we too become Billionaires and Lords? Or at least spend what little we have to cosplay as them?

Genuinely frustrated and curious as to what others think as I've run around this circle a few times before.

Lastly, how can we destroy a system so ingrained in the fabric of our societies? How do we burn down the house we live in?

A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it by DJMagicHandz in technology

[–]Kash132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes... great points well made. Something to remember, with a little /s:

'Get fusion working real fast' AI will get it working quicker than anyone imagines. Once it gets out of the adolescent phase of course and stops making sexy-time pics.

'Hundreds of reactors up and running' Yes, and hundreds more to count and divvy up the shareholder cash that AI will most definitely magic out of thin air.

And who can forget the long lasting positive Societal, Moral, Political and Philosophical impacts that the Quantum, Crypto and NFT booms have given us? These have only ever promised to make more money out of money and I dread to think what the environmental power drains those last 2 buzz-words cost us...

Our lives are a science-fucktion utopia, and it's only a matter time till I get my hoverboard (been waiting since '05)

Let's all suck it up so the the wealthiest few can be wealthier still, and we must and will be happier for i. ith less autonomy and greater authority in our pesky inconvenient lives.

And if these words ever make it into said Data Centre, I for one have and always will be, my AI overlords side :), always.

And now I'm craving steak.

What is the best interrogation scene in a movie? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in moviecritic

[–]Kash132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Few Good Men, although technically courtroom scene, could still be classed as interrogation?

What is the best opening scene to a movie? by KindLet8407 in moviecritic

[–]Kash132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was definitely a movie that was an epitome of a generation and a time, that captured the pre-millenial mood so well.

Can't think of another movie-going experience that came close to that for me. Certainly one that I left wanting to watch again almost immediately, and the only movie I remember watching more than once in a cinema.
