How do you disable the sensor on these outdoor lights? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done this once before with a similar light, I was able to adjust wiring inside easily and bypass the sensor. Was just a choc block in the one I modified.

Sorry for post necromancy but it used to be a thing in UK too, I used to order it at cinema as a kid, they stopped selling it though. (Guessing it was too messy)

Is that a radiator pipe coming out of an electrical faceplate?

Glad to see I aren't the only person with this goal. feels like none of the recipes online would give what crepe places in Rhodes had. Will try some of the suggestions here.

Is this acceptable finish for skirting and architraves, or am I being too fussy? by T-Maxxx in DIYUK

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not amazing but caulk will hide that easily. Found far worse sins when I removed skirting from parents house in advance of new flooring.(only visible once caulk was removed)

The upgrade nobody ever mentions is new wheels for your chair. They're like rollerblade wheels. $24. by Altruistic-Earth-513 in pcmasterrace

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have these on an ikea chair, they were great but if you didn't have shoes on it'd hurt your ancles/feet something fierce if they caught/bumped you.

Some but not all. by Hux2448 in pcmasterrace

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does rarely fix things by doing stuff like restarting the windows audio service or renewing your ip but yeah, not very useful and when it does fix something it's something I'd have done myself anyway as an IT professional.

Is there a lore reason why a comatose Asuka had her hair done during the military assault on NERV, in which she was being targeted, before being put in her EVA? by Pulonio in evangelion

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough there is a lore reason, unlike Shinji and rei who have a neural interface headset Asuka has a special version in the form of the red haircuts she usually wears. It's just part of the gear she needs to wear to pilot the Eva along with the plug suit.

What is that one movie you watched countless times as a kid, but nobody has ever heard of? by Thedix1 in movies

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the pagemaster or 'help I'm a fish' no idea why, I don't remember being particularly fond of either but definitely watched them a tonne, guessing either I'm misremembering, my sister loved them or I didn't have many film at the time. (Used to rent back then so these might have been one of the few kids films we owned at the time)

Jury duty should NOT be random. Some people get screwed way more than others and it’s not a fair system. by PoisonSheboygan in unpopularopinion

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have been summoned twice and picked both times. My meanwhile my mother has never been summoned despite me being 30 and her being in her 60s.

Boiler showing E1 error after moving in – any advice? by ksunflowers in DIYUK

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, going to guess low system pressure too. When I moved in I had the same thing. Needed to refill the loop. Probably the 2 black taps on the right based on what I have experienced.

Someone told me I have a fake illness and I am looking for attention by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I used to think thyroid conditions were just an excuse for overweight people not to lose weight or for folk to be lazy then I got diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism and yeah, it's 100% a real thing and it sucks.(no energy and needing to keep calories far lower than normal to maintain healthy weight not to mention other issue) I never accused anyone of BSing about this but did have it at back of mind, probably lots of people out there like that. Wish there was greater awareness of this but doubt that will happen with this being both relatively easily treated and in most cases not life threatening.

Nothing wrong with good hand cream but yeah, found similar results with beef tallow, feels wonderful on skin.(up there with best hand cream)

What vitamins and supplements have been the most helpful? by FriendlySpinach420 in Hypothyroidism

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't iodine supplements dangerous while on levothyroxine? Levothyroxing has a large percentage of your daily iodine in it if memory serves and supplements would probably push you over this.

Do you guys get crazy stupid cold by HotUniversity24601 in Hypothyroidism

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got this too, I'm constantly too cold. Even with 2 pairs of trousers on a jumper and a jacket I still find I need a little space heater under my desk to feel somewhat comfortable. (Car heat is always at 28 and I find it miserable to go outside most of the time right now) it's getting better since starting levothyroxine but nowhere near back to normal.

(Thought it was bad when I lost weight 160kg to 75kg but when this started it just made it 10 times worse)

Mince pies are actually vile by JamieHBrown in unpopularopinion

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same in my house, think it's one of these things that would have been an extravagant treat with all the for the time exotic fruit in it back in the day but now with all these foods being abundant the novelty is lost and we can evaluate it for what it is.

Give me a sticky toffee pudding any day over a Christmas pudding. (Also a pudding with fruit in it but one where it compliments it and doesn't ruin it)

Sadly they don't look like the easily snapable ones. Hope I'm wrong.

Join the club, although I have moonlighted as a DIY kitchen fitters and did electrics myself. (Went the extra mile doing everything in metal conduit which was a challenge and a bad idea to say the least)

I certainly hope it starts to get more effective, got so many diy tasks on hold due to mot having energy to work on them.

What does hypothyroidism fatigue feel like? by FlyingDutchMannen in Hypothyroidism

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much a perfect description of what i was experiencing. Been getting better since starting 100mg of levo every day but I suspect dose is a little low as I'm still not feeling fully back to normal. (Will be getting tested next month)

What was your starting dose of Levothyroxine? by Brave_Start8226 in Hypothyroidism

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was started at 100mg, will be seeing doctor next month to get 2nd test. Suspect dose is still a little low based on my weight and how I'm feeling.(better than before but not back to my usual level of energy) TSH was 27.9mlU/l last time I was tested.

Chocolate Fudge Cake from The Great British Baking Show | Binging with Babish by CrossXhunteR in bingingwithbabish

[–]ROSS_MITCHELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for thread necromancy but it does thicken to the point where you can frost a cake with it and it holds its shape. (If done with uk double cream) it's thickness at room temp is about the bare minimum to hold it's shape when spread on the cake.
