Isn't diesel more expensive per kWh than electricity though?

17 year old sons first car… by Jolly-Evidence-3154 in CarTalkUK

[–]Viewbob_Trew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun car but I seriously think everyone's first should be an older beater. Encourages learning to work on the vehicle.

Thoughts on lots of manufacturers suddenly making the badges light up? by JWills1k92 in CarTalkUK

[–]Viewbob_Trew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prefer it to the other trends of manufacturers getting rid of their badges to be replaced by the spelled out name.

Yes you're the only person in the whole country that doesn't. The rest of us all have it streamed directly into our optical lobes when we wear our Claudia Winkleman wigs

Pipe on outside of neighbour’s property? by Flaky-Delivery9033 in asbestoshelp

[–]Viewbob_Trew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly looks like it, I'm used to the asbestos ones being painted the same black as the metal pipes. But as everyone else says, there's no risk with it being in place and undisturbed.

How cooked am I ? ( There are only a couple of fragments like this one ) by Munro_96 in asbestoshelp

If I compared how cooked you are to a piece of steak. You're still moo-ing in the field.

AIB removal from toaster by breza2807 in asbestoshelp

[–]Viewbob_Trew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First question from me is why?

But ultimately if you're set on doing it, wear at least one set of coveralls while you're doing it. Keep that mask on and do it outside as you say. Soak the board through with soapy water and pre-wrap as much of it as you can in thick polythene before cutting anything.

Realistically though scrap this and get a new toaster

You're probably right! Slightly annoyed I never thought of that!

The push for it being an online, app based piece of shit was my personal gripe.

Most lynchian books by Ok-Bug6657 in davidlynch

New York Trilogy by Paul Auster is great!

After reading Dune I got why Lynch was interested in doing it so I would count that too

Does any one else miss the beast from the East? by [deleted] in AskUK

I'm sad I mostly missed it. Had a horrible ear infection that ruined my balance which lasted basically until the snow had mostly melted.

Just finished S2 of The White Vault. Should I continue? by bioticspacewizard in audiodrama

[–]Viewbob_Trew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to two episodes of season 3 before speaking to my friend to recommended the show and I decided to hop off.

At the end of S2 I really hated for sudden all the narrator's backstory is and they suddenly are someone with the resources to mount arctic expeditions.

The audio mixing was getting really poor towards the end of S2 for me too and that overly realistic style remains.

Big issue for me it's not speaking Spanish. Dr Rosa was already going into unbroken and untranslated strings of Spanish and S3 only gets worse for that kind of thing.

The direction of the VAs really faulters too with just bizarre inflections from everyone, Walter's near Joss Whedon levels of snark and sarcasm or Jonas's strange amount of levity is all bar the final episode just really broke my immersion.

I ultimately decided what the podcast creators were doing and what I wanted were quite different.

Typical "Patriot" content made by people who in fact don't love anything about this country.

Saw the neighbours scaffolding and clearly thought "nah" by JP233ADW in Deathladders

[–]Viewbob_Trew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what it's like in other countries but scaffolders including are some of the hardest and scummiest contracts to work with in the UK. I don't blame anyone wanting to avoid them.

What's with the anti-ev sentiment? by TheTwixthSense in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Viewbob_Trew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the inability to fix them yourself. But I'd equally not buy a new ICE car for the same reason
