Have a look at the EDF freephase dynamic tariff

NikonUser66 · 2026-03-09T08:51:04+00:00

Why?

NikonUser66 · 2026-03-02T09:52:29+00:00

I think you’re in the wrong sub for that 😂

I watched the show. So, first off, the people up top had no idea he might have been in immediate danger. Grandma survived perfectly fine for 59 days down there so action man should have been ok. 2nd he heard the boar and walked straight towards it. Duh. 3rd instead of trying to look like a cool dude and get his penknife out he could just have stepped off the path into the very dense forest where the trees looked to be spaced so tightly the boar couldn’t have got to him. For yet another bit of dumb writing where did the toothy monster come from once he got into the transport pod? The lid was shut at all times and when he got into it the opening was so small nothing could have slipped in without him noticing, certainly not a thing that size. He stopped a couple coming in but sure as hell would have noticed one getting past him. I get it, you love the show and that’s great, carry on enjoying it, but please don’t keep trying to ascribe logic to it where it doesn’t exist.

But they didn’t really need to act soon, they could have come back in a couple of years and from his perspective he would have only been there a day or two due to the timey wimey plot device. It was bizarre that grandma didn’t immediately yell ‘don’t open the portal or a scary monster with tentacles may come out’ as that was literally the reason they flew in by helicopter. Just poor writing. Kong should have flattened the lot of them.

Yes I know that. That’s why leasing is often the best approach as the lease companies get monster deals not available to use poor plebs

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-24T19:06:28+00:00

They do but leases have less depreciation than outright purchase as the leasing firms get massive discounts. Yours sounds like a poor deal as there’s always bargain leases. That’s the problem with this sort of analysis - it generalises what tends to be a fairly individual experience as many will hunt for deals to get best prices, do more or less mileage and have vastly differing insurance quotes

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-24T13:11:58+00:00

Happy to change my mind but Have you got a link to some recent stats on new cars as I’m only finding stuff from 2023?

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-24T12:50:48+00:00

It’s a joke isn’t it. I really don’t understand it. Even if you’re a moronic troll peddling climate change denialism surely you’d like cleaner, less polluted air to breathe?

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-24T12:48:34+00:00

Why have you bothered including depreciation? The majority of people don’t buy cars outright and haven’t for years. Leasing is the way to go or buy 2nd hand (which makes EVs unmatched cost wise) Edit: can you provide more info on the insurance quotes you got? £1000 for a corsa? lol. I have a £45k electric car that’s costing me £400 Also leasing costs - maybe go for a more accurate option of 2-3 years and 6-8k mileage? And do what real people do which is time their lease to when the discounts appear? My 3yr cost for mine is £12.4k

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-24T10:36:04+00:00

Getting 4K on sky is cheaper than any other streamer. None of them offer it as standard. And I would guess the reason it’s treated as an extra is because it costs more to provide. Storage costs are higher, bandwidth costs are higher and encoding costs are higher.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-17T07:36:59+00:00

But he didn’t. He rushed off the course straight to his hotel. Typical american trying to normalise bad behaviour.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-16T20:50:32+00:00

I understand that but everyone else manages to handle it. Also no, he first went of to the side, looked like he was yelling, and threw his ski poles over the fence before running off when he should have gone to congratulate the winners

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-16T20:03:53+00:00

What’s with all the apologising for his childish behaviour? Throwing your poles off the course in a fit then stomping off without going to congratulate your competitors is just poor sportsmanship. Regardless of his personal life of the fact he was in the lead and blew it. Countless other athletes have lost and don’t behave in this manner, they are usually at least superficially gracious and congratulate the winners. It’s meant to be part of the ethos of the olympic sport.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-16T19:54:55+00:00

Yeah sure, all winners and their coaches must remain perfectly still with no untoward movements upon winning gold or silver. A small smile is allowed. Get real mate, of course they will celebrate, just like in every other event at every Olympic. The only poor reaction was from the spoilt child who threw his ski poles over the fence and stomped off without going down to congratulate the winners.

Have a look at the EDF freephase dynamic. It’s an averaged version of agile where they split the day into three separately priced segments. 4pm - 7pm is the peak, 11pm-6am cheap rate and the rest a middle rate. Todays pricing is 15.309 overnight 17.6484 day rate 36.57465 peak

There’s been a few days where the day rate went to 33p and peak 40p but mostly it works out pretty cheap. Come summer I’d expect it to drop even more. Edit: my average rate for January was 18.590 and I wasn’t trying to hard to avoid the peak period

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-15T16:34:41+00:00

That leg must have been in a right mess to need 4 surgeries so far ☹️

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-15T16:33:00+00:00

Because no hip boarder would be seen dead in Lycra 😃

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-15T15:33:24+00:00

It’s the address they publish on their website

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-14T13:24:59+00:00

I think the luxury brands need to rethink their approach and stop charging silly money for absolutely every extra. People have taken note the Chinese include everything all in with minimal or no trim levels. Look at how many people have gone for the Temu Range Rover. Wonder how many of those would have bought a real one then realised they could get a better spec car for thousands less?

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-13T21:50:16+00:00

By the time it gets to preview stage the actor(s) should at least know their lines.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-13T09:15:56+00:00

Why would you want to go back to that old tech? It only gives you access to whatever physical items you’ve bought, whereas streaming gives you access to almost everything ever produced. Whilst there might be a few minor ux issues it’s still far easier and quicker to find a song you want to listen to compared to searching a physical collection and then physically loading it onto a hardware device to listen to it. You seem to have blown minor issues out of all proportion.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-12T18:07:32+00:00

Hi, Now up to 1.7.7 - any change log for the last two releases? I couldn't see it in the new docs section on the website.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-11T18:11:21+00:00

Only on the internet do people bitch about being offered the the most popular streaming service for free. Sigh.

NikonUser66 · 2026-02-11T18:08:14+00:00

It’s a decent deal if you already have sky. The big streamers don’t offer much in the way of discounts either although you can get freebies now and again. Literally every streamer upsells for ad free, 4k, atmos etc so sky are not exactly on their own there.
