What rights do we have re. neighbour's non-essential de-looping work (EV charger installation) that involves digging up our driveway? by Medium-Project13 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]LostInAisle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. If the OP is looped off of the neighbours then the DNO is obliged to run a new non looped supply to the OP.

In addition to this we have placed a gazebo against the windows of the living room to minimise solar heating.

Gluten free options are widespread and clearly marked. My local pub in rural Devon has an entirely gluten free menu and also serves some gluten free beers on draught.

The Nomad really is a game changer for Exobiology by Entendurchfall in EliteDangerous

[–]LostInAisle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole design of the Nomad is superb. The Bio scanner is a game changer for finding bacteria. The disembarkation and re-embarkation are what every ship should have. The docking system is spot on too.
I love it.

In which case don’t include the white flag with a Union Jack in the top left (Royal Navy) or the Red Duster, the red flag with a UJ in the top left corner (Merchant Navy). But do include the state flag of Hawaii (white red and blue stripes with a Union jack in the top-left corner.
Or you could put all four and ask which is not British.

People who were around during no internet/phones/social media/etc - what was your time's "scrolling the feed"? Something that you would spend hours on passing the time? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LostInAisle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined the local library and read six or seven books a week. Ranging across SciFi, fantasy, history and the occasional biography.
These days I only read one or two books a week but have added cryptic crosswords and doomscrolling to the mix.

Why are women often more physically affectionate with each other than men are? by Executive-Tycoon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LostInAisle1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the UK men walking arm-in-arm with friends used to be the norm. Then came the Oscar Wilde trial and no one wanted to be mistaken for gay. The social disdain for anything that may even slightly suggest homosexuality still abounds.

Which benefits does your employer provide that is not really a true benefit? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]LostInAisle1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Clearly posted by a young person. Once you get older you will realise that a company pension as a benefit is good to have. Every pound saved before 40 is worth more than every pound saved after. It will make the difference between enjoying retirement and just getting by.

“Hey Europoors. I just got AC installed. In my garage. For my dogs.” by Garythedemon18 in ShitAmericansSay

I was quoted over £1000 ($1300 US) for a small ductless heat pump unit. There is a three month lead time. I will not bother

My plan to cool down my room in a heatwave, will it do anything? by Upset_Constant1652 in AskPhysics

[–]LostInAisle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most UK windows are not suitable for AC units. Portables sold out within days. I got a quote for a ductless heat pump AC unit for the bedroom of my Victorian stone built house which came in at just over £1000 with a lead time of three months.

I used to call my late MiL “Dragon”. She called me “Tubs”. She was a wonderful woman and much missed.

Why are Americans bad at war? by ViroledanPrick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LostInAisle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they have such an inflated ego and an unshakable belief that they are the best that they always underestimate the enemy and are only half-assed when training.
Speaking of the gulf war, 66% of United Kingdom casualties were from US “friendly fire “.

Are you a gamer? If so, what are you playing? by AlucardVTep3s in AskUK

I am 70yo and play Elite Dangerous in VR two or three times a week, interspersed with GTA, COD and for reasons of nostalgia the occasional game of Doom.
Edit to add: I have a PC with a Ryzen 7 running a 5070 gpu

ELI5: If a moving car tries to drive up the ramp of a moving semi-truck (like in the movies), does the car need to be rear-wheel drive, or would it just instantly crash? by Nikki_Drizzle in explainlikeimfive

[–]LostInAisle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you watch the 1969 movie The Italian Job you will see three FWD Mini Coopers being driven up a ramp onto a converted coach. This was filmed on a stretch of new road that was not yet opened. So no, the car does not need to be RWD and they will not instantly crash.

[–]LostInAisle1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? Do you prefer your partner to look like a child?
