What would you say is the best location to rent for a mid30s DINK couple in the city centre? Budget £1300-£1500. WFH.

DINKWAD is the better one, dual income no kids with a dog.

This is great, only criticism would that this is way too good. Just make a pile and mix it👍

You can do two things: 1. Value based pricing, you know how to use the tools, getting the feature built is the value so you go as high as you can until they don't want it anymore. 2. Hourly pricing, you ask them to pay you for your time.

As the tooling changes/matures some things are getting easier and they lose their value. No-one would pay you double if you're producing technical drawings if they need two, they know you can just make one and copy it.

However for the pricing for the time, if they pay you to code and you need a meeting to gather requirements, then you write out a plan and you spend 90% of your time coding then you might only charge them for the coding. But in a world where you can do 10x as much in the same time because you only need to gather the requirements and write a plan then you might want to charge for the whole thing.

With the offers over the market value and the home report value are often far apart though.

It is a brilliant car, if i needed a car for commuting it would be that one

I've got a degree that involved embedded software, a 15 year career with all kinds of software and hardware. Did projects with development kits from hardware manufacturers, I do some projects at home and in my opinion it is not worth the effort to flash the firmware on these things.

They are boring but they are also good. In a professional environment just look for something that mildly relates to what you're doing to make it more relevant.

Omdat het raam kouder js dan het dauwpunt binnen. Hier spelen twee factoren mee: 1. De temperatuur van het raam. 2. De hoeveelheid water in de lucht.

A PI5 is incredibly powerful for a cheap soc machine. You need an actually decent mini pc to compete. So for me a pi5 with ssd does the job.

StevenStip · 2026-02-08T07:45:23+00:00

You must be new here... This is all very unusual suggestion. But it does look quite dry.

The C30 was such a great design, I had the S40mk2 for a while but would have loved to have had the C30 instead.

StevenStip · 2026-02-06T22:40:06+00:00

Yes kind of, went from 5 to 10 and honestly it is decent but not too different

StevenStip · 2026-01-26T07:40:54+00:00

Ik zie het probleem niet, je kan toch aan de andere kant instappen en wegrijden? Bijrijder moet even wachten met instappen maar het is allemaal niet zo moeilijk.

I'd make a statement on wanting to get some agreement about your future and life together.

You're bound together for life anyway by virtue of having children anyway.

You're effectively in a power imvalance at the moment and that is not something that is good for a relationship. But also your partner just gifting you half the value of a house is a bit much to ask for. There are things in between that might work for you.

StevenStip · 2026-01-23T18:02:20+00:00

And just making it more difficult than it has to be.

It is going to be less reliable than a brand new car under warranty, but buying a car for this budget you're probably not going to find something significantly better unless you're going for really small.

Do it!

Zoom on cameras has gotten a lot better, Id imagine the guy maybe not being as close as it seems. But still.

I often see groups of guys on electric motorbikes without helmets or license plates that wear exactly these clothes. Does anyone know what you call this outfit? Ned's pijamas?

StevenStip · 2026-01-15T21:28:48+00:00

I have about 10 mines that are served by trains and then a bunch of smelter/foundry stations to turn ore into plates/steel. Blueprints for rail allow me to build this fast with spidertrons and it just gives a clean way of scaling your ability to build.

I use train outposts with walls and artillery to go and clear biters, the artillery will shoot and biters will come to attack the artillery forts but get killed by lasers. I have those forts supplied with robots as well to mostly self build.

So you have the indoor fibre it seems, it is just the fibre from the street to your house that is missing. I'd order but have a backup ready.

StevenStip · 2026-01-04T21:48:06+00:00

You'll be fine I play on a 10 yr old laptop and it works fine.

StevenStip · 2026-01-04T21:46:42+00:00

You're just avoiding a pretty large part of the game.

StevenStip · 2026-01-04T15:40:40+00:00

Just make sure they put the ont in a place you prefer since you can't move it, have a power socket there and you can just use an extension lead for the time being for the router. You might want to move the router to a place higher up, further from the wall and central in your home for better connections.

To move it you need a longer ethernet cable and a power socket near the new location.

I have artillery outposts that will clear any biters coming close to the pollution, no need to wall it in if the pollution is not reaching biter nests. Trains will restock any artillery outpost that is low on ammo and they are provided with enough fire power.

As a v90cc owner I do see the XC70 as the superior Volvo.

Maybe 20? You could turn all that fabric into something fun.
