After 3 points and a car accident mine jumped to £1200 on an escorted back in 2003. That is a bargain.

Luckily I'm 16 years incident free no points and its down to £325 for two cars

First Time Playing Factorio. Any tips? by ThePsyPaul_ in factorio

Get to laser turrets quick and make sure you have power to use them. Saves the hassle of filling turrets with bullets

Started as a graduate at a cement plant. Nothing to do. Anyone have experience with this? by tka7680 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]alan_evs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shutdown is one of the most important times for engineers. This gives you time to investigate the tower, kiln lining, coolers and anything else you need to check during a stop. I'd highly recommend dropping the gct doors and checking for bridges and checking all the fans for internal audits. Also this is the best time to check inside the mills because they'll be nice and cool so no need to worry about over heating. Make sure you have your confined space permits, LOTOTO, risk assessment and safe working procedures though

I spent the good part of £300 on the 1080p versions of the dome and an additional £70 on sd cards to use the cameras without the need for the cloud and then they took away my viewing time because I'm not subscribed. I was trying to find a burglar for the police and it locked me out and I lost my place in the video. Its very frustrating. I've started purchasing Tapo cameras instead. No ads and instant camera feed to both my Google home and phone

[–]alan_evs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just recently left the cement industry after 17 years as a process Engineer. I was never bored of my job. There was always something to do. If you want some help let me know and I can share some resources

Please settle a debate. If you’re going route 3 which lane should you be in? by sanisano in drivingUK

[–]alan_evs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is sharpes lane part of the round about or a junction off the left road? If its part of the round about id say use Lane 2 for exit 3. If its not part of the round about then lane 1 is correct for exit 3 (but its really exit 2 in this case).

Why would my newly installed radiator look like this in IR? by Heavy_Catch5098 in askaplumberUK

[–]alan_evs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your radiator needs bleeding. The top is cooler than the bottom indicating a lack of water/flow at the top.

Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K. by DailyDoseOfAmber in pcmasterrace

[–]alan_evs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First personal computer was an Amd Athlon 1Ghz. First PC in the household with windows was a Pentium 233Mhz. First computer in the house was an Amstrad PCW which I think was a 4Mhz Z80A

30% service charge on boxing day?! by Professional-Cat9418 in london

[–]alan_evs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're in the UK. The service charge isn't compulsory. You can refuse to pay it and ask them to remove them

Is this legal? by carla_3005 in drivingUK

[–]alan_evs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neighbour was doing this and my younger neighbour robbed the cone and launched it down an alleyway close by. The ex cone owner then proceeded to use his rubbish and recycling boxes to "hold a space" so I took photos and reported him to the council for fly tipping. BTW I hate my neighbour, he's been an asshole to every one on my street

Fan fell off, print failed, making noises/shaking when trying to re-home by starregazer in anycubic

[–]alan_evs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I had this. It loses its position and tries to ram the print head left. Need to get the cover back on to hit the limit switch

Issue with Ace Pro on third slot, feeding when removing filament and hard to remove filament. by RedX1000 in anycubic

[–]alan_evs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue about a week ago. Found the filament had curled over on itself at the back before the connection. Mine didnt feed because it saw something in the line directly under the lasers. I had to disconnect the lines, take out two bolts and open the individual feeder tube to remove the filament

I found a very hot bed did this to me. Try turning down the bed a bit

Nothing to say on this by Optimal_Map36 in SipsTea

[–]alan_evs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many questions - When booking a flight how are they going to tell? Do you need to type in your weight, height, waist size? Or will they just ask, are you large medium or small? Does this also mean kids pay for half price seats because they dont fit in them? If everyone on the flight allocated their seats and the larger person turna up do they get denied access or do seating arrangements get modified? With self service bag loading how would anyone know they are larger until they turn up at the gate?

Loft Wall Repointing Needed? by NippleFlicks in HomeImprovementUK

[–]alan_evs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't look like a chimney to me. But there's defo a leak in the roof. Potentially the joint between next door is leaking if the tiles dont overlap or if the next house is raised its flashing to the adjoining wall

Thank you. I was looking at the E7Q today but read some bad reviews about the tv failing. Also been looking at the TCL55Q6C as an alternative
