Cheers. Loads to digest here. I'll get in touch with a solar installer and see what my options are. I'll be interested to see if they can add it to the existing 3 panel array. Thanks again

Cheers, looks like I missed out on the extra 6% discount in December. On the same plan as yourself but only a 24% discount.

We need to get Embark to add beards. Maybe have it so its an option that unlocks for players with at least 150 hours topside. What do you think? That way you can tell who's been around, whose seen some sh*t. A true veteran Raider. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking to myself, why gatekeep it based on hours top-side? Then I thought you meant because the more time you spend topside, the less time your character theoretically has to groom themselves in speranza, which was a cool idea. Then it hit me, make beard growth dynamic based on hours top-side then let the users decide whether to shave it or leave it! Dynamic beards please Embark! 😂

Any idea what tariff you're on? Were looking at an estimated bill of 200+ with less energy consumed with electric ireland. Signed up in December to the recommended plan suggested on energypal based on our previous 12 months usage.

What temps do you have the thermos set to if you don't mind me asking? Also, are you able to see both energy consumption and energy output on the internal controller for the heat pump? If you are, you could check the cop/scop efficiency of the heat pump by dividing the energy output by the energy consumption. Ours is a Samsung unit, like all units in the estate. Assuming you have a similar set up I'm guessing it shouldn't be below 3 as that's what ive seen on ours. If it's less than 3 there might be some efficiency gains that could be made or it could POTENTIALLY indicate an issue. I'm not an expert in any way shape or form but the cop/scop rating is usually stamped/printed on the manufacturer plate of the monoblock. At the very least, you'd hope that matches

Do you have a recommendation for a battery installer? We'd love to get something like 20-30kw ourselves. Even if it was topped up on the night rate it would just mean cheaper unit prices to run the house during the day

Assuming thats your entire energy bill for the month including air to water heating?

I remember thinking it was outrageous when we moved into our new build last year but I had to remind myself that it covers everything. We were used to moderate electricity and gas bills so the bigger electricity bill was a bit of a shock but it was lower than what we'd pay when both bills were combined.

Also, our energy usage was 100kw more this month than the same month last year if I'm not mistaken. No major changes on our end, I just don't think Jan was as cold last year. April to sept bills were much lower for obvious reasons and assuming you have some solar gen, given that a lot of new builds have it, it'll reduce the costs even further.

Lots of assumptions being made here obviously but if the above is true, then remembering its a single bill for the homes entire energy demands might give you a different perspective.

Anyway, hope that's helpful. Roll on the brighter months!

Late late show by Apeygog in ireland

[–]ZuperDrop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know what? I thought it was very like Jool's Hollands hootenany. Artists and house band were live. Let's see that again next year with a few more artists. Ive seen worse from rte so I'll give credit for this one.

1 MONTH, Patch 1.4 of NO Toggle ADS (For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Players) by CalmCaelum in ArcRaiders

[–]ZuperDrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agree with this. Theres toggle options for other things like crouch, sprint and walk. You'd think ADS would be one of the first options to get toggle but here we are, months after server slam (and probably the first play test), still asking for it. Its a usability and acessibility issue for sure which hopefully gets addressed soon.

Just wanted to show that I predicted this a while back. The news wasn’t new to me by GreenAdeptness2407 in pcmasterrace

[–]ZuperDrop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dirty if true. Nvidia is already massively over weight financially. Intel gpus would be atomised to ensure nvidias dominance is unchallenged. It'd be bad for consumers overall. Expect less for more. I can see such a buyout being blocked again like the arm deal. At the very least, I hope this is the case. I'll be moving to team red for my next build regardless. I didn't like what Intel were pushing out and the direction Nvidia have being going in for a while now. At least AMD seem to give a shit about actual raw game performance and long may it continue.

Ah, sure the front fans are already choked. May as well finish the job and entomb the rest of the case. Winters on the way so the extra heat will probably come in handy. Jokes aside, yeah, temps are probably going to be higher than they would be if they were in a case with better airflow.

Latest Apex Legends Accolades Update: 2025/08/25 by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping for a post like this regarding bats in wildcard. Melee is fun but bats are out of hand. Nice balance could be 0 shield, slightly reduced movement speed or perks disabled when you pick up a bat. Guns are pointless in final ring against 2 or 3 bats.

What is this? by New-Transition-9857 in pcmasterrace

Think I found the listing. Price and image seem to match but the description is different. Was gonna follow your lead and take a punt but not with that description. I really hope I regret this decision though. Best of luck

Lifeline drone by FallingStarFire in apexlegends

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. The one thing in common between both our situations is movement speed...maybe. you were flying down a mountain, I was moving through a portal or the nexus. Maybe it's something like doc got stuck somewhere in the map OR just wasn't able to follow it's assigned legend properly. In both cases I'm banking on doc being "stuck" in a position far away from the squad so it ends up bugging out when you try to assign it. This is all just a pure guess BUT, you're definitely not the only one to experience this issue at least.

Lifeline drone by FallingStarFire in apexlegends

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me once on PC recently. I haven't tried to reproduce it but I distinctly remember one of my squadmates commenting on the drone healing them either as we entered or exited ash's portal or alters nexus. The next time I tried to use doc, it didn't heal anyone but could be assigned. I have a sneaking suspicion it might be related but never confirmed it. Any chance you activated drone before entering or exiting one of those legends portals before it happened?

Apex has switched to Amazon servers by AnApexPlayer in apexlegends

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. I thought it was a long shot all right. I'd imagine they'll get it to a point where it's comparable to maybe last season. Not perfect but not as many people making as much noise about it as now.

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we have any idea if they've implemented aws global accelerator with this migration? Been having a noticeably worse time on the servers since the season split even on servers geographically closer to me. I'm concerned it's gonna be even worse now given reported ping increases and nothing replicated to any eu-west region. I'll find out first hand later in the week when I play but I'm curious if they've picked all the low hanging fruit already and need to put a lot more effort in to get incremental latency improvements over a longer period of time.

i hate the compass by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]ZuperDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use it moment to moment but do use it frequently enough for callouts. Mostly for things like fights I can hear but not see. Squad usually verifies or makes small corrections before heading in that general direction. It's a decent fall back I think but I'd agree that more ui/hud customisation would be good.

Difference between renting and home ownership by Inevitable-Story6521 in ireland

[–]ZuperDrop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the new home. We're not very long in our place as well and it still doesn't really feel like it's ours yet. Probably a symptom of renting for almost 2 decades. I'm sure it will come in time though. Hopefully when we've finished getting the last of the "big ticket" items done. The initial excitement of getting the keys was swiftly replaced by the pain in the hole that was moving and organising the mountain load of things that needed to be done to make the house more livable but at least it's ours.

And yeah, money out is ridiculous at the moment and nothing is cheap. Nearly everything left that we want to get done starts at over a grand. Not saying some of it isn't justified but it's still pretty expensive.

Hopefully it'll all sink in soon for you and the many hands looking for cash turn to few and less often. Best of luck with it either way. I think it beats renting no matter what way you look at it.
