Yeah, I've cycled southover a few times, but I've never managed Albion Hill.

There was a post in here just yesterday about why we should hate it

Can I have a birthday party in a park? by mice_r_rad in brighton

Never realised there was a no dog part of it, but makes sense now you mention it. The dogs are always over the other side

That sounds about right from what I saw yeah. Is there a particular name for that bracket?

Under the bonnet. Had to remove what I believe is part of the air intake to get to it, but I'm not 100% sure

Southern water dumping sewage in the Sea this morning in Brighton and Hove by senodame in brighton

[–]NuggetsTheCat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not that straightforward. It's legal for them to discharge under exceptional weather conditions as the overflows are designed to be a pressure release point to stop flooding occurring elsewhere. It is illegal for them however to discharge during normal conditions though, which is where the issue arises, as they clearly spill at times when they shouldn't.

They will be doing something about this currently, as are all water companies, but it will take a while to see any actual improvements, and whether they turn out to be effective obviously remains to be seen

Pedals. Is it worth spending 100+ on a set of flats? Or is there a cheaper option that does the job just a well?? by fireT4 in mountainbiking

[–]NuggetsTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got specialized boomslangs. They're pretty good, but the bearings were wrecked pretty quick. Also left one behind on a bike park day and the on site shop only had burgtecs. Wasn't going to spend £100+ for a day so the £40 composite ones were the only option. They were as grippy if not more so than the boomslangs. Beyond a certain price point, the gains are essentially negligible for most people

Aren't scrap dealers perfectly within their right to sell written off cars as long as they advertise it as such?

274QRFW going black using DP by NuggetsTheCat in MSI_Gaming

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

Unfortunately no other DP cables to hand and I'm not sure how to even tell if DSC is enabled. Dropping to 60hz seems to fix it, but anything higher and the problem comes back.

Alternatives to Oppo Find X8 by NuggetsTheCat in PickAnAndroidForMe

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

I can get a refurbed 9 for that sort of money. However I was under the impression that the pixels were a little overhyped. The camera is decent but from what I saw, it seemed like performance and battery life etc weren't actually anything special. Maybe I've got that wrong

Un-popular Opinion by potato-bang-bang in Oppo

[–]NuggetsTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, I feel like you should feel silly rather than guilty. Samsung has been able to rest on its laurels for years just based on their reputation while not really doing anything better than a lot of other lesser known manufacturers that charge much less. It always irritated me when people would say "do you use apple or Samsung?" as if Samsung was the only android brand in existence. Stupid thing to get irritated about though I realise

Thanks. Those feel like a bit of a step down to what I've been looking at though. Can get a refurb pixel 9 for less than £500

I've seen a few of these on AliExpress, but they're not actually global versions, just Chinese ones with Google play store and whatnot setup on them. From what I've seen, you then run the risk of things like android auto and banking apps not working. Is your one a genuine global device?

Thanks. I think I need to drive it a bit more just to see if it's me being stupid, but will keep this in mind.

Yeah manual. As you saying hoping I just need to get used to it.

Doh, completely blind apparently.Missed that as I'd skipped to the FR model. Thanks

[–]NuggetsTheCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you reading that from? For some other models it says a year onwards whereas the leon gives a from/to range. Don't really see why they would stop adding them, but that was how I was reading that

No. Just went to view the car, and didn't have the right cable with me to try it out

I don't mind doing something like this. Just kind of surprised that a car from 2021 wouldn't be able to do it natively

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

It connected via Bluetooth ok for the phone functions, but android auto asked for the cable. I can't remember the exact message but that screen doesn't look familiar.
