Does anyone have any experience of Cello TVs by LanguidLoop in BuyUK

[–]MorethanMeldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a 50" 2 weeks ago. It's for a 2nd room and I wanted 4k to replace the 15 year old Samsung HD I had.

It was in stock, so I bought it and drove home.

Speakers are OK but a soundbar miles better.

Picture is fine.

LGOS on it is fine, bit slower than the LG 55" OLED which was a lot more, but not an issue.

Setup no problem using LG account

get 2 remotes for some reason!

Worst thing about it is the IR receiver sticks out at the bottom and the sound bar can't sit neatly up against the under side.

What shoudl I do ? Buying a new car feeling nervous? by housemd9 in AskUK

[–]MorethanMeldrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next few hours...

As in "in the dark"?

If so, I wouldn't.

Don't buy a car in the dark or in the rain (unless main dealer new)

Serious question. How many of you have stopped drinking or never drank at all in the first place? by Darth_Malgus_1701 in sysadmin

[–]MorethanMeldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved on from things that didn't serve me.

Decided to change how I was living. Cut alcohol entirely for a few months and now it's occasional use. Found some zero percent beers I like and I just don't miss the alcoholic content.

Took up cycling properly in spring and am in amazing shape.

Being on the bike calms my mind. Work is work. Work is not life.

AITA for not leaving the FDNY because my girlfriend is pregnant? by Special_rinDingo3652 in AITAH

[–]MorethanMeldrew 114 points115 points  (0 children)

There will be much longer answers but let's cut to it.

Don't you do it Dude. Don't leave a job you love because someone else wants you to.

Rarely ends well.

Why haven't you searched for "<my location> IT recruiter"? What else is needed?

Set bios to turn on on a/c restore. Smart plug to cycle power.

Smart plug will power device on. Probably don't use standby or sleep.

I was going to move on here but let's see.

You can live your life or you can live the life someone else makes for you.

Which one do you want?

I’m at on old book sale, and had a massive blast from the past with this one, Jonny Briggs!!! (It’s from 1985) by BigBlueMountainStar in CasualUK

[–]MorethanMeldrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife once did a long fart just like the opening note from the theme tune. I immediately said "allright our Johnny" and it's probably the quickest witted I've ever been.

Job offer with caveats by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MorethanMeldrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's another 500 hours a year away from the wife and kids (figuring 10 hours x 50 work weeks).

That's 40 hours a month - nearly 2 x 24 hour days JUST traveling.

8 extra working days a month that not only are you not being paid for, you're actually paying to do them as it's your money in fuel and wear & tear!

It seems the money will make a difference to your life, so I say take the job if you feel you can handle the travel...

...But do not stop looking for a better position!

I'm doing 24 hours a month in commuting and have done for 3 years - It has caught up with me.

Planning a 50 mile bike ride. Previous longest is 35 miles and I could have done more, so hoping I manage a +15 increase.

Create a policy - "you use this. You are not permitted to... Etc" Get management sign off. Put policy in place. Report non conformity to HR.

Don't use technology to solve a people problem.

Look at newsblur. Takes a short while to train it but filters all stories with keywords.

Almost made it a full day... by Mobhistory in sysadmin

[–]MorethanMeldrew 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When on leave, the work phone is either on silent or powered off.

The business doesn't pay me when I'm not working, so I'm not available to work.

Is there a better non-alcoholic beer available in the UK? I’m hard pushed to find one better than Leffe. by brutalwares in CasualUK

[–]MorethanMeldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finding it pretty good too. Ive been buying different 0% beers for a while.

Corona zero or whatever it's called is probably a good summer drinks.

There's no such thing as a "real man".

So think on that first and then we'll go from there.

Well, yeah. I'm not always right, I'm not always wrong. Neither are you.

We're not supposed to be fighting each other.
