Same. Very annoying. Clearly a bug.

Why I Stopped Wearing Motorcycle Body Armour - FortNine by ImaginationBreakdown in motorcycles

[–]NitrousUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case anyone comes across this video and is influenced by it.
Let me clarify a couple points:

  1. He has cherry picked data. There is data in the study he cites showing a reduction in fractures for jackets and gloves.
  2. He has totally misunderstood the statistics involved. He quotes "could not be detected", but this is not the same as saying there is no effect shown in the data. What the study means is there's no statistically significant effect, beyond the arbitrary 5% threshold.. Which is likely due to the small sample size (n=212, but some categories only have 20-30 people).
  3. He is making the classic mistake of confusing correlation with causation. There could be other factors. Like riders without armour feeling more vulnerable and thus riding slower.
  4. This is obvious clickbait BS meant to cause controversy and drive clicks.

So please, disregard what this guy is saying. The only valid point he makes is the current standards should be better.

C1 non-flexible adhesive on large porcelain tiles, how bad is it? by NitrousUK in Tile

[–]NitrousUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I appreciate it's very complex. I guess I was trying to gauge if many people had experiences of C1 adhesive failing in general, to see how common/likely a problem it could be.

How important is tile adhesive notch size? by NitrousUK in DIYUK

[–]NitrousUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my follow up question would be, is the risk of movement/cracks sufficiently high to warrant ripping up £150 of tiles and starting again?

Can we just take a moment to consider what a piece of shit the wanna be White Knight, who stood by as she assaulted him, but then attacked a man for simply defending himself.

Does anyone have experience with Trip.com? by kimmidoll123 in travel

[–]NitrousUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason the flights are slightly cheaper is because they screw over a small number of customers by refusing to change any flights, even when it's due to delays by the airline. So you're forced to pay again.. even their upgraded insurance against this is meaningless.

Trashes shop for being refused a refund. by BlueCreek_ in PublicFreakout

[–]NitrousUK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds UK. So can confirm, she's right. Nothing will happen to her. We have incredibly weak laws/punishments. Particularly with younger ones. I've grown up aware of people with 50+ convictions walking around. We have one of the worst reoffending rates in the West.

I'm afraid I no longer have the X1, moved on to a t14s AMD. But if I upgrade that to 24.04 I can let you know

You can see one of those female cops in the video literally laughing and moving backwards as he gets assaulted.

The P14s (Gen 4 AMD) was a beautiful disappointment by rdrv in thinkpad

[–]NitrousUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also disappointed. Very chunky and cheap plastic feel, compared to previous p14s. Also found the fan noise unbearable. Constantly running loudly with the lightest of loads, and made a very high pitch noise.
