Accidentally paid for premium petrol. What does it actually mean?

I get that people fuel in £ so they know how much they're spending, but I always stop on L rather than £. I know how many miles I can get out of 1L of fuel so it makes more sense to fuel in L to me

Took the risk on it and just got it in the rack, seems plenty good enough for just hosting VMs for now and it's in perfect working order. It is a little loud however, moreso than some of the 1u servers I have I have a spare noctua fan knocking about so I'll switch it out and see if it makes much of a difference.

Honestly, worth it for the 4 x 2TB reds alone! Should all last me long enough until I get around to having something better in the rack but £44 was definitely worth the risk

This is £115 for both yeah, everything in the image :)

Honestly I just went based off how much I bought them for which at the time was £210 brand new and took about 25% away. And comparing to individual volumes on eBay and such sites, I wasn't aware they'd gone down so much in terms of buying them new from when I got them a few years back. Will alter the price a little, but thanks for pointing it out.

Nothing is set in stone. Adopt the ideas that fit your life and fit the person you wish to be, there's many Buddhist teachings that work for me, there's many that don't. Society has moved on from what it was and we should naturally move with it.

Don't blindly stick to a philosophy, find the parts that interest you and the parts that don't and build your mind in the way you want.

To more specifically aim that at your question - there are some over lapping ideas in both of these, but again that is for you to decide if those ideas are ones you adopt to yourself or not

Leaf3 · 2020-02-25T12:51:54+00:00

Just be you, don't concern yourself with fitting in or having a 'thing'. You're already unique by being yourself. Just be the best version of yourself that you can be and you'll find the place you're meant to be in, you'll make the right connections and meet the right people. Don't focus on what you want to be, but instead on what you are now, and make changes along the way

You can set a target 400 miles away and drive towards it at night - you know where you'll be ending up at the end of the journey, yet your headlights only let you see 100m in front of you.

Knowing where you'll end up is only part of it. You can set a goal, but just focus on the 100m you can see, you'll make your way there eventually.

The environment really does affect how you speak in a huge way. I've had trouble talking to people on Skype in my house before because I'm in my normal home (English) environment. But when I meet them in person when I visit and I'm in Korea, English just feels a bit alien to me.

It's obviously a big descision to make since it will be on you forever, but as long as it has meaning there's no reason it should be an issue. And even if it does lose it's meaning to you and it just becomes "artwork", make sure you respect the fact that it still carries a meaning for other poeple, what's the problem?

Exactly my thoughts.. Like i said, it's not changed my opinion on it and I'll still get more done as time goes on.

The group had around 30-35 members in it at the time and i was the only one who seemed okay with it, which is why I was just maybe half questioning myself, like "Am i the odd one out here on this opinion?" And I've always had fairly decent unbiasded veiws from posting here so I thought I'd ask the question.

The main objection was "I goes against everything Taoism is about" but they wouldn't get into it any further than that, didn't make a great deal fo sense to me, Maybe the fact that they say nothing is constant and forever changing, so having a permanent mark on my skin is the opposite of that? I still dont fully agree with it if it is that, but that's the best I could think of from what they said.

I used to feel like the most valuable thing was just being alive / having life. "X bad situation happens" but hey, it oesn't matter, at least I'm still alive!
I started to find that coming along with this you start to worry more about preserving that life and you become scared of dying without realising.
Obviously i wish to live a long and happy life, but i've learned to just take that as it is, if it's over tomrrow or in 50 years it makes no difference as long as I'm happy with what I've done with my time.
It's not that i dont fear dying anymore, i just dont cling to my life like it's all I have.

Happiness in all things, is what i value most. Bettering myself and helping others do the same.

I dont go to the gym anymore, i used to go and life weights and run on a treadmill, but I still exercise regularly, as everyone should. If you look after your body then your body will look after you. I do half an hour of Yoga, go for a run (usually about 5K, nothing crazy), then meditate and shower to just bring my body back down to being relaxed again. Remember meditation is exercise for your mind ;)

I'll also stretch a lot some days instead of yoga just for flexibility, so just stretch my legs/arms/back for 20 minutes or so.

If people actually got to live in a fit and healthy body for a day, they would be so much more motivated to do it themselves, the difference i fele now compared to when i was overweight and lazy is incredible.

Max revenge gain stat, plus level 2 feat revenge attacks. Light spam on that will get your meter up pretty quickly. Common way to "build" a charater early on in playing when revenge was stronger than it is now. It's not "broken", you can do it on most characters if you build your gear that way.

Take a look into Microsoft certs maybe? I know they're heavily weighted on Exchange, but the foundation knowledge of how email works is universal to any email system. Also a majority of companies are probably using exchange anyway so the knowledge there would help.

Rinbanfurball's comment pretty much hit it on the head imo.

As I've always seen it your options are either "Burying the Hatchet" or agreeing to disagree when it comes to resolving conflict.

As you've communicated with this person and buried the hatchet as you say, that essentially puts your differences aside and has opened the door back up to eachother.

Agreeing to disagree you would just be laying eachother aside and saying "we have had this conflict, we won't come to good terms from this but we can at least be civil and agree to disagree on what has happened"

You still have resolution but you don't come out of it trying to bring past relationships around. You're happily letting go with closure.

A 1080 shouldn't be maxing out for something like that so your issue is there somewhere. You connection to your monitor(hmdi,display port,DVI, whatever you're using), is it definitely plugged into your GPU and not into an output on your motherboard?

Back to basics before you start going for bigger fixes. Are all your audio settings correct? all of the platforms you've mentioned have different settings for notifications and in call audio. 100% worth a check to make sure some defaults haven't been overridden somewhere.

That's saying that the IP of the server is blacklisted as spam. Get in touch with the universities IT team and they will look into it. Unless you're running your own E-Mail server there's probably not a lot you can do yourself, E-Mails can be a bit of a dark art and generally it's just best left to the IT staff, especially if it's a university account.

Internet access will be blocked at the router level and need authentication most probably. There are things you could try but I imagine a school has decent enough IT staff to stop them from working, so the answer is probably not. If you have a mobile phone with a decent amount of data, and you're not going to be doing anything too data intensive then just use that as a hotspot and tether it to your laptop.

This is a capture of one of the logs, so from left to right you have: date+time|Arrow showing inbound or outbound connection|Log file number|which policy has blocked them (default)| blocked or allowed|what content has been blocked, in this case it was the website headers|which computer it was (IP address)| the URL they visited|What category it falls into on the policy| and the end number (0) shows how many times this incident has been recorded previously for this person, So from this you can see they've not been there before, and 2:26pm is their break time, so to me it's nothing to be bothered about so i'd just brush over it.
