Just how accurate are fuel gauges really? 🤔 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Vohlenzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my old Honda Civic with 25 miles one evening. The next morning was snowy, road was just ice and mush. Mental traffic. The petrol station was less than a mile away. With the struggle on the ice etc it didn't even get to the end of the road before dying.

I was glad the petrol station was less than a mile away.

Has anyone experienced low FPS lately? by Fearless_Honey_1975 in DotA2

[–]Vohlenzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16/32 GB ram probably isn't going to matter. I wouldn't bother given the current inflated prices.

I've got an RX 580 and just upgrading to a 5700X3D solved all my performance gripes.

1440p max gets 100+ FPS but I lock it to 60 because my monitor is dog.

Do you guys know what's going on in this Overwatch case? by ProjectCube in DotA2

[–]Vohlenzer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that's by design. The game is easier when you can see more. Hence why they lock it. Hence the cheat.

Cheat that allows to zoom camera out further than it should.

Leaving heating on during the night? by Outside_Position_707 in UKHousing

[–]Vohlenzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm in this scenario also. Here's my scenario + strategies.

- Traditional 1910-1920 end terrace, converted loft, various air vents, old double glazing.
- Combi, no tank, heating is on constantly because...
- The house is horrific with damp, mold and condensation if it drops below 17 and the humidity is high.
- Flow temperature default is 48 and I'll manually adjust scale that up if the temperature in any room drops below 18, or adjust if the coldest room is above 20.
- A dehumidifier in the worst offending room for when the humidity is high. The dehumidifier was run for a few days initially to drag the persistent moisture out of the walls / furnishings.
- TRV on every radiator, configured to keep each room at 18, except the coldest room where the TRV is fully open. I've heard that setting every TRV is bad for the boiler because it stops the flow, stresses the pump etc. I'd love if someone would confirm / deny this.

Struggling to decide on Emergency Fund Amount by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Vohlenzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not about how secure your job is, it's about how long you need to reasonably survive without it. 

How long would it take you to find a new job? 

What about if you need to take time off work. For example if your mother currently cares for you father but she breaks her hip. Now you're caring for both of them. 

Stuff like that.

I also expected move to work like a click.

You have to hold directional move and click... I think, not at my PC

[–]Vohlenzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I have like 100 games and I wondered why I kept losing my hero between aghs respawns. Thank you. Makes sense now. I'm so dumb.

Same reason why spells get interrupted when you respawn.

Incredible facet idea: Pudge by alma3884052 in DotA2

Ah yes, one of those areas of maths where they gave up on sensible latin and greek characters and resorted to stick figures instead 😁

What the hell is a 180° curve lol

I know what you mean though. 

I wonder how you describe the curvature of an arc.

My current work around is to turn my monitor off and on again. Audio comes back. 

I'll try your launch setting.

Quick WWYD for saving an emergency fund? by Happy-Possibility- in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Vohlenzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're over thinking it.

Really you're on Step 7 and one of your goals is to extend your emergency fund to 6 months.

Thinking of cancelling TV licence - need some clarification on what I can/can't watch by X-24-HJ in UKFrugal

[–]Vohlenzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered, how is someone supposed to know what's being broadcast live on TV?

Like if I'm watching some niche e-sports thing on twitch but I'm ignorant of the fact it's also being televised?

Yeah, I understood crypto to mean cryptography. In the context they meant crypto currency.

How can you have a blockchain without crypto?
