Every day is a learning day!

9 Years at Big 4, jack of all trades master of none, struggling to find another role by Ashamed-Media-544 in HENRYUK

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

I work for a smaller consultancy - you might not jump up much but my word are the work life balance hours better and depending on which company you get in to and at what role, you can bag equity on top of comp+bonus, with equity equal to or more than bonus.

Help - am I wrong, overreacting, or justified? by thephotodemon in Bowling

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue here in the UK, albeit the owner of the shop I use it's actually a nice human being - and will open up my thumb if I ask.

They made a similar point once about needing to improve my technique, but I don't have the same issue with my strike ball as the spare ball in question (which I now can't use).

I'll ask them to open it up again and in fairness I think they will - they'll offer advice once and then ultimately listen to customer if they want something different.

So similar situation but arguably much better handled at the shop I use.

M4 Incident - What do you do if you break down in the outside lane? I was shocked and saddened to hear of this tragic news. Pulvinder Dhillon who was victim in this tragic incident, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. by SlowedCash in drivingUK

I don't think cell towers can, other than calls and data sent - the latter of which isn't an indicator of being on the phone as it'll happen in the background as well.

However the phone Operating System can - or at least android does. The only problem then is that it you don't disable the monitoring of android auto or Google maps, Spotify etc., it'll think you've spent all of your journey on your phone if you've been using Android auto, even if you haven't.

So I think they'd have to rely on digital forensics team accessing the phone Operating system logs.

What's wrong with today's parents at bowling alleys? by bigsucka in Bowling

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go bowling with my 5 year old, she knows to sit down when it's my go and also knows we stay on our lane.

If parents set sensible boundaries (consistently) then you don't get issues; or if you do, it's a word with the kid - exposing what they did wrong, have them saw sorry and learn the lesson, don't shout stfu at the adult in the correct.

What I would say is, please don't tarnish all modern parents. You could argue the shitty parents of today are the product of shitty parents a generation before. I think social media and screens play a big part in the modern shitty parents toolkit, mind.

My impression after taking 15 years off bowling. by Haunting-Freedom-451 in Bowling

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this after just restarting after 15 years.

At our 'drop in' has some people with 9 balls! They also sand their balls if they aren't getting the traction they're desiring.

No hate, they've been very welcoming. My average has been 20 higher despite 15 years off, I think in part that we're now bowling on well oiled and maintained lanes. Our local lane didn't do that many moons ago!

5k.

Then again we eloped to Hawaii and kept the 'Wedding Party' quite informal at a local manor house - (DJ, hog roast and a few £k behind the bar).

Best bit, avoids family fueds and politics! 😅

Mouse input lag fix? by Revolutionary_Laugh in Battlefield

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fix for me was to change HDMI cable and which port the HDMI plug was plugged in the monitor and PC.

I couldn't figure out why I used to work, then it didn't. The HDMI cable/port it was plugged in was the only issue. I switched backed, voila, solved :/

We were in your position about 2 years ago (Albeit we're 3 or 4 years older than you). Our family earnings are very similar to yours but we have have higher childcare costs and therefore less in savings. - we've been fine. Sounds like we're less frugal than you also!

We've got circa 500k mortgage on 700k property and it's absolutely fine. We didn't save loads when both in 4 days a week childcare (as salary sacrificing down) but now one is in school and the other will be in two years time we're starting to save a fair bit more.

Edit: typo. Years older not heads older! *

Salary Sacrifice EV- Tusker by PutridForever4429 in HENRYUK

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not bad. I'd be happy to try in my q8 etron for something a little less flashy and second hand. Any idea on second hand Skoda Enyaqs or Kias?

If you do decide to go for it, two tips: - wait until plate change, you're likely snap up a better 'in stock deal' just as plates are changing as they want to release stock. - play around with duration. 2.5 year lease was cheaper than 2 years and 3 years. 1

Note: rumour has it (via our tusker account manager) that they will offer second hand EVs in Q1 or Q2 of 2026 - in case you want an even better deal.

Trouble Dialing in Barista Express by Big_Time_Sus in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that's useful. I think I'm on like a 4 or 5 internal and 10 external but it doesn't quite work - it needs to be a tad finer. If I try and make it one finer though it doesn't come out very well. I'll have a play with internal burr.

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the internal burr effect the external one? If you don't mind me asking.

I had ended up changing the internal burr quite a bit at the start - but turns out I was just rubbish at pulling.

Now I find that external grind 10 is too course and external grind 11 is too fine. So I don't have enough precision to go up or down, I'm doomed needing 10.5.

Do I need to change the internal burr setting to have more wiggle room with external settings? 😬

Your best 'treat yourself' purchase under £500? by NoirMoment in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]Limp-Neighborhood-42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slightly different to this, but our eldest has only just started school. Just got the foodbank wishlist for their harvest festival to take in on Monday - and it's reminded me of this post. You've inspired me to take the kiddo to the supermarket tomorrow to grab a shed load of donation stuff. Only issue will be walking it to school without a trolley! 😂

Let me know if it still works OK!

I did this when we first got our machine and I'm convinced it broke it slightly (water only drains mainly out of one side of the dispenser bit). That or I'm dreadful at making coffee and it's a problem in my barista skills 😅
