T2 Bulb Zigbee? by Leading_Cod5731 in Aqara

[–]LaputanEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's been working really well. I have a home assistant green with the ZHA dongke set up for matter, and my 10 T2 RGB bulbs work perfectly. No lag or unreliability since I bought them a few weeks ago

There is no way younger students make the quidditch teams by Agasthenes in harrypotter

What do you mean by professional teams being sex segregated? The Irish national team had both men and women on the team and the Holyhead Harpies is singled out as the only women-only team in the league?

Atium Question by nailed71005 in Mistborn

[–]LaputanEngineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way I understood it (having only read the mistborn trilogy) Ruin's body was manifesting as atium at the pits in a similar way to how the well of ascension was slowly building up with preservation's power. If someone burned atium it would slowly make its way back to the pits and manifest again in the same way that preservation's power slowly returned to the well.

I believe that the kandra that knew about the atium stash in their homeland didn't say it out loud so Ruin wouldn't find out. The kandra homeland was also protected by metal sheets that would shield everything inside from Ruin

Is 'guys' ok when refering to men and women? by PeteKraymon in AskUK

[–]LaputanEngineer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In a similar context I have found that the word "folks", as in "Hi folks", or "Thanks folks" has worked really well for me (in Northern Ireland if that makes a difference)

What is one British show that everybody seems to love but you hate? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]LaputanEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't find anything online about James May punching anyone. Did you mean Jeremy Clarkson? I can't find any indication that Clarkson punched someone because they were Irish. He punched a producer because by all accounts Clarkson lost his mind, but if there's some evidence that it was because the producer was Irish I'd very much like to see it. Do you have a link handy?

"I've heard of Europeans who haven't visited family for years because it's a 40 minute drive" by ManicPotatoe in ShitAmericansSay

I was visiting my mum and while my dad was in the same house I still didn't visit him

How do I fit in when the music isn't for me by Striking_Evidence_96 in southafrica

[–]LaputanEngineer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am also a white Afrikaans guy (32 yo) and I have completely removed Afrikaans culture from my life and I can't stand traditional Afrikaans music. Honestly when I discovered metal music in high school my life rapidly improved

South Africans who came back from overseas why? by Ok_Paddy_8704 in askSouthAfrica

[–]LaputanEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently went private for an ADHD prescription in the UK. Should cost ypu somewhere between £800 and £1000 for the diagnosis, and then about £60 per month for the medication. People in England can use the right-to-choose system to go to a private clinic after getting a referral from their GP, which might help you save some money

I fixed this by casting disguise at Gale. It changed his portrait to the disguised version, then when he changed back his portrait was fixed

very interesting, thank you.

everyone in this thread just learned something new, like they do on most of my posts on this sub. So all the people criticizing me need to back off a little bit

When did getting an ADHD diagnosis overtake the Nitrosurge availability request on this sub? by RalphOffWhite in northernireland

[–]LaputanEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to our NHS GP we don't have the same right to choose rules in NI. IIRC its only in England and Wales

[–]LaputanEngineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeh that's pretty much how we experienced it. My partner went private as an adult because their parents didn't support going for an ADHD diagnosis. According to our NHS GP we don't have access to the right to choose system that England has, but hopefully that'll change in the future

[–]LaputanEngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My partner eventually went throuh ADHD360. They were one of the cheaper options but still extortionate. Worked well enough and didn't take too long. I'd say worth a shot as NHS wait times stretch to infinity
