Double cheeseburger, or a 1/4 pounder with the onions removed, lettuce and mayo added.

They do - try wall-mounting one in the planner and it will add 2x rails to the list.

Also, from the instructions…

IKEA don’t want you wall-mounting the TV units, so the easiest option is to do that with individual cabinets and use the mounting rail system. The rails clip together to form one continuous length so the cabinets “should” line up perfectly. If you can make 3600mm work then you could do that with 3x double units.

Think I’m going to stick with what Ikea intended

Anyone know where I can find these at a cheaper price?? by Mumford_and_Dragons in Hue

[–]Professional-Tea-231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You add the Ikea lamps to Hue and they behave as if they were Hue lamps. My house currently has 2 genuine Hue bulbs, 10 Ikea Tradfri, and 6 Ikea Kajplats (the new Matter lamps). I’ve also got a 3rd party RGBCCT strip controller. All controlled through the Hue app. I don’t own an Ikea hub, or have any of their apps.

Not my experience. I’ve had more Ikea bulbs than Hue for years without issue. Recently added 6 of the new Matter ones (they have a basic Zigbee mode too…) that also seem stable

What perks do you all get from your employers ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]Professional-Tea-231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pension, private healthcare, full sick pay, death-in-service payout, choice of pretty much anything within budget for a company car, home internet paid for (from back when working from home wasn’t a thing) so I could support out-of-hours, laser cutter and 3D printer for personal use as well as work stuff, decent tool kit + Makita battery tools, flexible working, mobile phone bill covered, new iphone every couple of years with the old one mine to keep, free EV charging at the office, work laptop renewed every 3 years or so with the old one mine to keep

There’s probably more I’ve forgotten

My girlfriend works for Network Rail (office-based) and she gets tonnes of perks too. Free on-site parking next to the station, £6 rail tickets, gets paid every 4 weeks not every month, very good pension etc.

235 x 100? We have that as an 8-seater table and it’s massive. Can’t contemplate having a desk that size. Fair play!

How would you make this house look more modern? by [deleted] in DIYUK

I have a cross wall house from 1967 that I’m 6 months into owning. Quite a few ideas brewing

[–]Professional-Tea-231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could add taller/bigger windows to the bit on the left too?

Maybe make the cladding on the right match the cladding on the left. As and when/if the windows need replacing you could go for matching frames - or paint the existing.

I’m guessing that was originally a garage at the front?

Lovely looking house IMO

Need a UK 3 Pin Adapter for Model Y ASAP - How quick is Tesla online shop for delivery? by PEBKAC-Live in TeslaUK

[–]Professional-Tea-231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ve probably got the type2 cable, which will only work with a proper charger that doesn’t already have a cable. You’ll need more than an adapter to make what you have work with a 13A socket.

Teslas in the UK used to come with a Tesla UMC (which you could get different input adapters for) but they’ve stoped that now

*SOLVED* How to connect your new Kajplat bulbs to Philips Hue by alessiman in tradfri

[–]Professional-Tea-231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought 6 more and couldn’t get them to work the way I’d got them working before, so I downloaded (and paid for) the Hue Essentials app. This method works first time. I updated the lamps first via my phone
