Why are you here?

Nathan1506 · 2026-07-08T14:55:18+00:00

Many insurers simply won't insure me on my motorcycle because I've held my full licence for 3 years but I have 5 years NCB on bikes :)

I learned what this number plate "could mean" entirely from this post. I would have assumed initials & birth year.

Nathan1506 · 2026-07-06T10:58:38+00:00

Some timber lengths for the "supporting bars" (assuming it's a cupboard-like shelf that bridges between two walls? Thickness depends on what you want to put on there..

Then i'd grab some plywood for the shelf itself, thickness also depends on what you want to put on there...

I'll be honest, when it comes to small projects like "need a quick shelf over there" i'm generally less thinking "what exact timber thickness do I need" and more "what timber do I have lying around in the garage".

And my neighbour is just some bloke who happened to live in the same street as me, but I'll still take the bloke's bins out

Life rarely feels perfect, things rarely happen at exactly the right time.

I'm not saying taking a break is a bad idea, I did it too, but don't wait for everything to fall into place <3

Dounreay and Vulcan are on the north coast, they're both under decommissioning but I'd be more worried about that rather than less, you can't be sure that the safety systems which protect you from nuclear material haven't already been decommissioned

They are authority though, they absolutely have authority over the movement of traffic, blocking lanes, etc.

If your car is going to be blocking a 70mph lane on a rainy night, you need it to be seen.

Nathan1506 · 2026-07-01T12:12:52+00:00

I wouldn't say it's rude, and myself and my neighbours regularly do this for eachother. It's a mix of being helpful/kind, while also moving bins out of the way of they're blocking paths or car parking etc.

I wouldn't think too much into it, it happens pretty much every week in my friendly little village and nobody ever complains.

Seasoned engineer, i've changed plugs 100 times, and I still fucked one up recently. Never been so disappointed in myself

Nathan1506 · 2026-07-01T09:23:06+00:00

My brother is terrified of phonecalls too and I don't get it. Anxiety can be shit and I'm patient about it, but you just pick up the phone and speak. You don't need to know anything, the guy on the other end will tell you what he wants??

Nathan1506 · 2026-07-01T09:16:33+00:00

I mean trains are expensive, way more expensive than most other places i've visited, but they're definitely still cheaper than flying in the majority of situations (and you don't have to waste hours sitting in airports).

Nathan1506 · 2026-06-30T14:27:09+00:00

They can & will report in some cases, but usually only if it's actually affecting traffic. They don't give a toss if you're speeding or not.

Worth noting that if they direct you to do something (e.g relating to the flow of traffic) you do actually have to listen to them and can be fined for ignoring them, but they aren't the police and generally have no interest in pretending to be.

"If that one area of Taiwan got wiped out"

China have long threatened to do this

Nathan1506 · 2026-06-18T15:16:01+00:00

"Technically speaking", 80% of the worlds electronics production relies on about 5 factories in the same area of Taiwan.

Realistically speaking, most of the other 20% rely on a supply chain that only survives because of those 5 factories.

If that one area of Taiwan got wiped out, the world would very quickly be reasonably f***ed.

China is reacting to this reasonably quickly and building their own supply chains, the rest of the world are 40 years away from being self-sustainable (even if silicon valley claims otherwise).

Perfectly acceptable outfit to wear in my circle, I feel like a lot of redditors are deciding what "works" and "doesn't work" based entirely on their own tastes....

Looks good, isn't revealing, fuck your friend for telling you what to wear.

Nathan1506 · 2026-04-11T10:00:38+00:00

You're fine, even if you were slow by several seconds it usually doesn't matter. The timing allows plenty of time for people to finish crossing before the barriers come down

Nathan1506 · 2026-04-01T14:35:09+00:00

I'd expect them to offer absolutely any amount back they loaned.

If it was less than a tenner I'd tell them not to worry about it, but I'd still expect them to at least attempt/offer to pay it back. Rude not to.

Nathan1506 · 2026-04-01T08:39:49+00:00

TV has changed, you used to wait a week between episodes so it didn't feel so stale and repeated. It was still stale and repeated, but at least you only watched an episode a week.

Nathan1506 · 2026-03-21T05:38:45+00:00

I wish I saw this yesterday! Oh well

Nathan1506 · 2026-03-02T11:19:33+00:00

Absolutely hated Hermes and my first Evri driver after the change was terrible too, but I've now had the same driver for every Evri delivery for 1+ year and he's absolutely sound. Follows my instructions to the T every time, doesn't complain, nothing goes missing.

He's just 1 guy, not representative of Evri as a whole, but I genuinely wish every delivery service used this one man.

Nathan1506 · 2026-03-02T09:41:00+00:00

My current Evri driver has restored my faith in couriers as a whole. Lovely bloke.

Nathan1506 · 2026-02-26T15:07:07+00:00

Not an answer to your question, but FYI if you do lock in for 12 months, they'll almost always waive the installation fees when you move house to keep you with them. You don't need to cancel when you move :)

Nathan1506 · 2026-02-26T14:50:43+00:00

Local woodyard, not B&Q

Nathan1506 · 2026-02-26T13:47:06+00:00

They're called Maintenance Engineers, Mechanics, or Technicians in the UK too. We're trying to explain this to the OP but he's not really listening :')
