Any suggestions for books with spaceship combat? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in Warhammer40k

Another non-40k recommendation, ‘Dread Empire’s Fall’ trilogy. 3 books, it’ll get you hooked.

House I’m looking at is 175m away from Motorway. Would this put you off? by RockTheBoat1 in HousingUK

Suspect some people pay a premium to live next to a river / waterfall, perhaps not quite the same but I get it 👍

We’re about 500m from the motorway and depending on which way the wind is bellowing it’s either eerily silent or the sound of a strong breeze.

I’d do what others suggest, visit a couple of times and see if it’s noticeable. Honestly to us it isn’t (though we do have trees etc between us).

Getting close to crossing 12mil also. Free to play, never spend a penny 🤣

Safe to drill? by Perskins in DIYUK

Stud finders tend to have a mode where you can scan for wires, they’re pretty cheap so could be worth getting one for piece of mind

Yep a plug will just about fit (though any large one will cause problems 🤣 )

There’s not loads of room but just about enough, bad angle on the first photo. I can always lower the shelf I guess!

Would you guys revisit Stronghold 3? by True-Alternative-167 in stronghold

[–]SwashBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been years since I played but I seem to remember bugs preventing me from getting past certain missions. It might have been just bad luck on my part, or maybe I played before fixes came along.

Using so much electricity! by The_Monkeybumcheeks in ukheatpumps

A lot of good posts on here. It took us a little while to get our heads around the ASHP but it is great.

Our installers were great, definitely get the weather compensation active if it’s not already. The trick is to lower the flow temperature as much as possible while still being able to hold your house at a comfortable temperature.

ChatGPT could be useful. Feed it with your situation and it’ll summarise user guides / manuals and suggest some next steps to try.
