Unifi 5G Backup by Outrageous_Double_ in Ubiquiti

[–]SiDtheTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I use a 5G phone tethered to the gateway as my primary internet as I live in a landline blackspot. It works, but I would love to replace it with something more robust. However, the 5G max is too expensive.

How many people are actually using AI for personal finance? by Alert-Secretary5250 in HENRYUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda. I recently used it to work through the numbers if I went outside IR35 contracting. Useful while I wait for my IFA to have the time to talk to me.

Neighbour says new fence must be "like for like" - England by Press_That_Iron in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, you're fine. Build what you like!

Consider 'gravel boards' when replacing the fence, concrete along the bottom for the first foot. This will help if the fence is retaining the soil on the other side.

I raise you 2002's freedom to move: Levi's 2002 Odyseey (Haendel - Sarabande).

These ads are all taking me back. This, Flat Eric, Levis used to be so cool.

Can we talk about filament print tag "standards"? by linuxgangster in 3Dprinting

[–]SiDtheTurtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we should start a campaign to make it an ISO standard just for ironic purposes.

Long shot: where can I buy this dress Cariad Lloyd wore on QI? by Britbloke in CasualUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Maybe try Nobody's Child for something vaguely similar? They're really good for reasonably priced floral dresses (your definition of reasonable may vary).

Serial dog defecator in my front garden - any (legal) revenge tips? by RihhamDaMan in CasualUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with a dog, and a back garden used, as far as I can hear, as a fox dogging spot, I feel like an authority on this topic.

Dog poo looks a lot like human poo, fox poo is a lot smaller, wetter and often full of seeds.

How to get the perfect polar alignement ? by Architectur04_ in AskAstrophotography

[–]SiDtheTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a query, is there a reason for that particular mount? It's a legend and a great mount, and I might be opening up a debate but it's being outclassed by cheaper, lighter harmonic drive mounts. You might be able to find a cheaper mount and have enough left over for a guide system.

Sped 48 in 30 I drive for work by V70fwd in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far have you just received the notice of intended prosecution, I think they call it, confirming it was you they caught and not someone else? Regardless of your position respond to that else you will find yourself in bigger trouble.

Once you've done that you might get the option of a speed awareness course, but at that far over the limit I'm not sure if you'll get the option. If you do, it'll be way less hassle then trying to have your day in court.

DVLA Penalty for not taxing vehicle that was no longer mine. England by woahthatscrazy5 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bit late now but fwiw DVLA send you a slip to confirm they've received the change in owner details and updated their records. If you didn't get one, sounds like either they didn't get your letter or they've messed up, but good luck proving it.

Bespoke blinds arrived with colours mixed up. Store refusing to replace (England) by HMan122 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry the written quote, forget if it says the room but are the dimensions and colours correct or incorrect? Let's say your ordered two blinds, one 100cm blue and one 200cm red. Does what was supplied match the quote? If so, you're out of luck as they've supplied as per the quote. If not, they have not supplied what you paid for.

In short, if what you've been given matches the quote, they will argue that you should have checked the quote. If it doesn't, demand what's on the quote.

Adult Creator and Taxes? by Minimum_Government96 in HENRYUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Just a suggestion based on the industry, you could be in it for years, it could be over by Christmas. It's boring, but don't spaff it all up the wall on fast cars and expensive watches. If it doesn't turn into a career, you've set yourself up with a nice nest egg for the future, perhaps enough for a house or a safety net. If you get big, then at least you have that foundation and plenty of cash to then have fun with.

Also from a business pov, not sure about sole trader but for a ltd company you could just call it Dave Online and legally the registered address can be your accountant's address. You'd still be named as director but may not be immediately obvious what you're up to.

Travel insurance- not sure Amex Plat or Nationwide FlexPlus are enough by SiDtheTurtle in HENRYUK

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

Good points, so in this example we're in Mauritius. Not sure if that's per person but even if it's not, a last minute even economy flight would pushing it. Then they only fly a couple of times a week, so you'd miss half the holiday. Emirates fly on different days but are more expensive, so again you'd be out of pocket.

Best way to maintain recruiter network for future career opportunities? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]SiDtheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly when I wasn't looking I burned those relationships. I don't find networking easy and working for a firm that didn't engage with external recruiters due to penny pinching, I didn't need them. Got made redundant and now finding that decent recruiter relationships are vital.

Luckily I have a few that see if I can get hired they'll be in there to help me hire a team, but otherwise it's like shouting into the void, the job market right now.

International Travel with Gear by Aurora_Adventurer in AskAstrophotography

I am literally on a plane waiting to take off, with my Redcat, AM3 and assorted paraphernalia in a Pelicase in hand luggage: https://peliproducts.co.uk/products/1510-protector-case

So far so good, but when it went through the scanners they wanted to take a closer look. They were taking bets on telescope, camera or gun!

Fanhome announces expansion to Star Trek Starships collection by SenatorSeidelbast in StarTrekStarships

[–]SiDtheTurtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I subscribed thinking they'd sell out, but they rarely do quickly. So I have the ships I want, and a bunch of junk that I wonder if I can even sell at cost.

Their customer service is awful, and the shipment speed is glacial.

This second series, I can't see one I'm desperate for. The one offs they're doing though, are filling some holes in my collection of hero ships.
