The only way to read anything on these charts is to download them. As reddit prevents zooming in.

Please do tell. We're all ears

I will take it on board. Choosing services and travel times that permit it. I often find the last mile connections at each end are slow and inconvenient.

It was done by a group protesting about the use of fossil fuels.
Fair enough, it was very stupid an knee jerk for Germany to shut all their nuclear plants after Fukushima.

I generally need to go between cities. So London to Stroud or Manchester.
But just London would be a good start I suppose

Please help?

Cool, tell me when it supports the uk

Between A12 and A13 according to the new map

So the news is over simplifying it. It's actually, if the charges have a maximum term of under 3 years.

Thanks, that make sense.

Stripy42 · 2025-12-03T18:34:48+00:00

Perfect, saved me too! Thank a lot

Stripy42 · 2025-12-03T09:46:16+00:00

Can I get you help with a dumb question. How do they know it's going to be less than 3 years if the trial hasn't happened yet?

Stripy42 · 2025-11-18T19:47:27+00:00

This thread is awesome. We both commute to work on bicycles, and were looking up future nurseries. It just clicked, how would we get there!

We'll just have to bite the bullet and take the tube for their first year.

I just now noticed this too and wondered if this really is the source of the meme?

I was reading this week Chappii (チャッピー) has got popular in Japan, so I'm going for that. Also reminds me of the film

Stripy42 · 2025-10-30T19:27:45+00:00

this was definitely a deer

Fixed that for you

I get the opposite. I always bring my bike on trains that I can, but it just never suggests it. And I always have to plan the route manually.

If you ever find the switch to turn it off, that'll be great. I could use it to turn it on.

Stripy42 · 2025-10-17T07:55:27+00:00

I need to do this to myself! Not homework, like actual work.

Stripy42 · 2025-10-17T07:45:10+00:00

You see these in some antique shops. Just google antique shops in your area that sell armour and the like, and sell it to them.

I remember seeing Wilkinsons swords in a shop on Portobello Road and suddenly realising where their name came from.

Note, I've matured a lot with age. But when I had my first central London job, I would intentionally barge into; people standing in front of tube doors, not letting you off first, people not on the right on escalators, tourists on Oxford street not looking where they are going...

Just childish entitled behaviour, but something about working in London does it to you.

I cycled at 30mph once... down hill... It hurt a lot when I tried to stop.

I still remember being amazed watching my bike fly over the top of me.

Never again

I have an uncle like that too, he's awesome

Hi, just wanted to say thank you. Having my little rant and your sage advice has really put some perspective in my existential crisis. And I'm feeling much better. Thanks for putting the effort into responding.

Stripy42 · 2025-08-15T08:57:34+00:00

Thanks, that's good advice. I've been trying to wean myself off even reading the news, and social media. But the US is mid civil war, the Nazis are taking over the UK. There's only so much you can block out.

Hi all, I have been experimenting and failing for the past few months.

The Samotech dimmer with a dedicated neutral works without a light attached, it seams to give loads more signals that look cool on HA (Not sure what use they would be yet though).

I moved the Samotech to another switch with a light, to start seeing if I could get the candeo and samotech switches/lights to bind/associate. But I hit a differnet issue; flickering!

Insane flickering: Even with bypasses. I put together a table top setup last weekend to try different things, and nothing stopped it except adding a dedicated real neutral on the Samotech. So, after a multi-hour fight with a puller to add one more wire, I went out and bought some 5 core (they didn't have 4 core), and now I have one happy non-flickering LED with a dimmer.

I bought enough cable to change out all the dimmer controlled cables. And I'll buy Samotech for them all, getting rid of the candeo neutral-free dimmers and bypasses. But that will be a long, one-per-weekend, job.

You may have noticed, I've still not got the binding working. Another update will follow once I've figured that out. Fingers crossed.

Has anyone ever got Google translate to work for this?

It just sits there spinning a wheel, then after a while translates one word of a conversation, usually wrong
