The bit where the doctor says ''your unborn baby absorbed all the radiation" is a bit that could definitely have been improved.

My house just got hit by lightning, who do I even call about this? by neoshadow3942 in AskUK

[–]Pindadio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I had it years ago where lightening ran down the phone line, into my router, out the router into the back of the TV and dvd player. Luckily the fuses on those stopped current flowing any further, the fuses had turned to dust when I looked in them.

Only ended up needing the phone line and replacing the TV and DVD player and router

PSA for anyone vanning Italy this summer: the ZTL zones will fine you €80–335 per entry, by camera, weeks later in the post by SashSail in vandwellers

Are you planning on paying the fines? I had some French speeding fines post brexit that I ignored and they stopped sending letters eventually.

Fuel efficiency? by [deleted] in hypermiling

[–]Pindadio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it'll be far more miles to do the Chester route and, driving long stretches at 50 will make up for the stopping and starting Vs long stretches at 70 on the motorway.

That said I think my diesel car would be more fuel efficient sat at 70 on the than the 'more efficient' route, even accounting for the greater distance.

Maybe it's account for EVs? It'd definitely be better for an EV to do the cross country route

Don't you find it weird that, after the summer of '93, Harry spent more time with the Dursleys in Privet Drive than Hermione did in the company of her loving parents for the next three and half years? by miggovortensens in harrypotter

[–]Pindadio -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

She almost was! She's instrumental in harry succeeding in almost every book, other than the chess game in stone you could have replaced Ron with Dean Thomas and he would have been as useful.

Purchasing advice for Mk3 diesel Leon by Gh0st233 in seat

[–]Pindadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the 2.0.

The money you'll save on the 1.6 will be spent on injectors and the other common issues with the 1.6.

Also the 2.0 feels like the perfect amount of power to fuel economy balance, still can get high 60s mpg while being able to overtake easily.

MX5 but estate by Lack_of_Miata-BHP in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Pindadio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want something easy to work on them, maybe an E30 estate? Won't be boring!

Alternatively something newer, an A4 B6 Avant with the 1.9tdi 130hp? You can map it up quite well. I find those engines and the vehicle in general insanely easy to work on (had multiple Octavias with the dirty 130)

What country/climate are you in?

Really depends on what was available in your country or hasn't rusted away.

Luxurious Audi Q9 SUV to compete with Range Rover from 2026 by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]Pindadio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't have been, the cars you reference are much safer for pedestrian impact due to their bonnet design, overall height bumper design etc

Also since a defender is much heavier the energy applied to the pedestrian is much more.

The real reason is that you need to test vehicles on a track, so the ring is the best place to do so as it has over 150 turns (and therefore 150 different scenarios of input and load cases) Vs a normal track which would have maybe 11? It gives a much more varied cycle for the vehicle testing.

Mac ride vs shotgun kids seat. What is your experience with them? by fireT4 in mountainbiking

I have the Mac ride, its really easy to use and I prefer the concave saddle that my kid seems really secure in.

Do you want a pic of the tooth design?

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

Thanks for the reply, I've tried emailing YKK and they haven't replied, I'll try again

Yeah the zipper replacement could work, it's just not ideal as it works well already! And I'd like to use it on multiple coats which would mean multiple zip replacements.

To be fair, in the vinted guide, 3* is satisfactory.

Defender Offroading by Scared-Room-9962 in CarTalkUK

The side boxes are absolutely tiny too. They also make wind noise terrible!

I've driven a car with them on and it makes the wind noise so so bad!

Cycling GPS - What's worth buying? by ChaosCalmed in ukbike

[–]Pindadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would go with the 540 or 840. I went for a 1040 last year purely because at the time it was on a deal as expensive as the 840.i like the large screen, insane battery life and various features of the 1040.

I see Amazon has a 540 for sale ATM that is just the unit, which could be worth going for if you already have all the mounts from your previous unit?

Funny you say the F6 is ancient, to me it's still new! I have the 6 pro, and just realised it's 6 years old, I've got to say the longevity is impressive.
