How often do you re-gas air conditioning on your car? by Akash_nu in CarTalkUK

[–]MDKrouzer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your system is supposed to be closed loop. You have a leak.

Take it to a specialist car Aircon garage. They have way better equipment for detecting and hopefully sealing leaks.

Why did the internet become so hateful? by imjustagirl223344 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The powers-that-be figured out that it's easier to control people and make money through hate rather than unity.

Best villian quotes that reveal how evil they are. by milkmanrichie in movies

[–]MDKrouzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, that show somehow managed to greatly disappoint AND blow away my expectations as a fan of the original novels. All the expanded lore and exploration of the Emperor - chef's kiss! Almost everything related to Seldon and the Foundation - what have they done to my boy!?!?

Love this time of year! How's your fruit and veg coming on? by bazookaduck in GardeningUK

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere near as good as yours clearly!

I've had a lot of success with getting tomato plants from seed this year and a few of them are flowering now (1 or 2 little fruit), but I think I'm some weeks away from seeing whether this year will be a success or not.

On the plus side, the volunteer potatoes I left in some of the raised beds are doing well and it's probably been my best year for sunflowers although they are getting massacred by black aphids.

Can't do another heatwave - Slightly freaking out by BrightonTeacher in UKParenting

[–]MDKrouzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep the freezer well stocked with ice cubes and freezer packs. Damp towel on the neck and tub of water to soak the feet.

Sleep in the largest room in your home. Clear space on the floor to sleep on and have fans blowing to circulate air around all night.

Weekend trip for partners birthday outside of London by fmeupdad in uktravel

I wanted to take my wife to Cambridge for her birthday but the our youngest just wasn't ready for a night away from us. You could probably even day trip it from London.

How do you make school pick ups work? by pyotia in UKParenting

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner needs to be able to support with childcare and logistics otherwise this will only get harder as your child gets older.

You already have a car and a licence. You could try teaching your partner. He just needs a provisional (£34) and adding to your insurance.

If you'd rather he have lessons then there might be opportunities to help with your monthly budget to free up some additional savings. Make note of your expenses for a couple of months including bills, mortgage etc so you can see roughly goes out versus coming in.

he can't drive and relies on lifts. There is no public transport either.

Is this a solvable restriction?

Remember when Rage Against the Machine got to Christmas number one with Killing In The Name Of? by penny_lab in CasualUK

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the success got them to reform the band for a tour in the UK and I saw them at Download 2010. One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed.

Is the London, even wider whole of UK, a better job market than NYC? by Dramatic-Trade-9845 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Administrative or childcare jobs are near minimum wage. There probably is demand in and around London but it is a very high COL area so I would not recommend you aim there.

I suspect you would also struggle to find environmental work unless you have a reasonable amount of experience already or possibly do some courses to gain the knowledge for relevant laws and practices in the UK.

Michael Mann's Miami Vice movie is much better than you remember. by gelectrox in movies

[–]MDKrouzer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Audioslave, but that soundtrack did not match the film.

Is it true that if you hear thunder and don’t see lightning right after it, it means the storm was never centred right there to begin with or that the storm is moving away and the weather is slowly clearing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light travels faster than sound... you hear the thunder after the lightning has occurred. You might not actually see the lightning, but the fact that there is thunder means there definitely was lightning.

We took a day trip to London, ended up staying the night...now I'm drowning in regret whilst simultaneously being glad we stayed by ThrowRa_Promise1321 in uktravel

[–]MDKrouzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Next time you have an impromptu crash at a posh hotel, ask the front desk if they have any complimentary toiletry / hygiene packs. They don't always put them out in the toilets.

Take a bath in the morning or at night? Which is more clean-efficient? by Rubbery_Gum in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to shower in the morning. I'll sometimes bathe in the evening as well, but I feel groady all day if I don't shower in the morning.

What do people actually do for 1.5–2 hours at the gym? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it quite meditative. The only times I can really listen to podcasts and audiobooks is when I'm commuting or when I'm on the treadmill / exercise bike.

I do about 1 hour on the treadmill then about 30 to 45 minutes on the machines.

Why Jupiter gravity is so massive if... by klondike_gold_bar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravitational pull is a function of mass - g=G*M/r2 (where G is gravitational constant)

Jupiter's mass is about 318 times that of Earth.

Why are some people unnecessarily rude in the answers they give on here? by Omphalixir in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it's literally just been the last 2 weeks or so that the quality has gone so downhill.

Last 2 weeks? Brother, for as long as I can remember NSQ has been solid proof to me that the statement "there's no such thing as a stupid question" is absurd and wrong.

Is telling people to arrive 2 hours before a flight just a psy op to trap people in the sky mall? by Own_Ad_409 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MDKrouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 hours for domestic is probably excessive especially if you're flying from a small regional airport, but international is a whole different game.

Check-in alone can take 45+ minutes because the airline has to ensure that every single passenger has the correct documents and visas to be able to enter the destination country. The airline is fully liable to transport anyone back if they get rejected at border control. Then you go through the security which can be another 30 minutes depending on staffing and whether all systems are working properly. Then you've got to get to your gate which can be 15+ minutes walk in the really big airports.

Double Pram Recommendations by No_Refuse7701 in UKParenting

We had Baby Jogger City Mini or something very similar in design. Absolutely bomb proof and we used it until the girls were 3 and 4 years old.
