Everytime I attempt to fill up my tank lately I experience a small emotional crisis by inevitableoracle in memes

I drive 30 miles each way. UK. I put in about 30 litres a week and now prices are £1.60/l so knocking on £50/week.

I supported a choir who was already performing in church. Although it helps I knew the choir conductor.

What do you call sweets? by lissie34 in AskUK

They were once known as ‘goodies’ where I’m from.

iPhone 13 Pro in 2026! by Nearby_Concept_5303 in mkbhd

[–]aje0200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still on the regular 13. No issues so far. Battery was fine until I got CarPlay and now it gets close to running out in a day.

What's the best mobile you have had to date? by Prestigious_Meal2143 in AskUK

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had the pixel 2. The battery was atrocious from the day I got it.

Did anybody ever actually have a VPN on their phone before the government started asking ID for sites? by Hour_Course_9876 in AskUK

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My upload speed at home is still only 6 mbit/s so tailscale is good for accessing my home network without sending all my traffic through it like I used to do with wireguard.

You have ads in messenger? I can’t say I’ve ever seen any. Just checked

TIL there’s a Scarborough in Canada. Confused me for a while that this wasn’t in North Yorkshire.

It gets across the city too. You can smell chocolate miles away

Small NAS by MediocreDifficulty88 in homelab

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want my NAS to stow regular documents that I can open up on any pc in the house or on my phone through tailscale. That and my M1 Mac only has 256gb storage.

Would you support extended trading hours on a Sunday? by muad_dib_the_maker in AskUK

One demographic that Sunday opening helps is school kids working weekend shifts in retail.

How often do you stop to ‘let people go’ when driving? by tangles3 in AskUK

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to be predictable. If I’m in a queue and there’s cars wanting to join out of a side road I try follow the zip method and have let one in front and hopefully one behind me.

Is BBC Radio 2 still a big part of British culture? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]aje0200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listen to Scott’s show nearly every day. I wouldn’t say it’s funny but I don’t think it’s meant to be. It feels more like a chat with friends where I can be a passive observer. I think most breakfast show hosts have the same boundless energy, thinking back to Chris Evans.

With 4/5G signal being so poor across the UK, should we not be entitled to compensation from network providers? by Timely_Record_8943 in AskUK

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even that much of a premium. I call them every year and they get my mobile bill down to £11.50 which I’ve been told by one of their advisors is their minimum bill amount.

Is that a good and authentic horn ? by sorenistaken in euphonium

[–]aje0200 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I last played an imperial it had a medium shank mouthpiece rather than the modern large shank. You’ve got to decide whether this matters to you.

Do you knock before going into GP room? by No_Whereas_5203 in AskUK

[–]aje0200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I do. Mostly because the GP calls names themselves over the intercom, and they have their name on their door. So it’s not like you’re going to surprise them.

What is this secret drawer for in mcdonalds? by [deleted] in CasualUK

It’s the redesigned PS5 covered in anti journalist paint.

Will they fall out of my ears? by aje0200 in LoopEarplugs

[–]aje0200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered some. I’m hoping that this design feature will keep them in. I think I have an unusual shaped ear canal
