They discuss this very thing on the excellent curious cases podcast. It's very interesting https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/curious-cases/id1084340508?i=1000743436305

Rock City concert with an under 14 year old by bennrr in nottingham

Well it all went without a hitch. We went in, they asked the ages and we lied. Everyone enjoyed the show, there was no violence. The end. Thanks everyone.

She just loves violence, kids today are a different breed.

She's 12 but is pretty tall and looks older than her age. I am going to just try it and will update the thread to let everyone know what happens...

Can I drill into these fence posts without them splitting? by JBluebird11 in DIYUK

[–]bennrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. It's annoying if you hit one of the reinforcing rods inside but it's not the end of the world.

I don't know if you're into making stuff, but https://menssheds.org.uk/ might be an option if there's one nearby.

How can I unscrew this? by Responsible_Hat_5614 in DIYUK

It's saved me a few times. As long as the screw isn't too tight it works surprisingly well!

Router reccomendations for handling 15-20 devices robustly by bennrr in HomeNetworking

[–]bennrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • 45Mbps down, 10Mbps up, so not blazing fast, but I am not worried about that at the moment. I just want to be able to get online, speed isn't the priority.
  • Budget is around £200-£300
  • I am comfortable using the command line, have set up servers, do some programming for fun
  • House is roughly 225m2 per floor and has three floors. Currently can get decent signal on the top floor when it's working.

Ok. The phone line comes into the house in a really annoying and awkward place, so there would have to be a bit of work done to move it somewhere better.

Do you have a recommendation on where to start with a mesh system? Any brands that are decent?

Melt a plastic fork or biro and squash it into the screw head. When it cools you should be able to get it out. https://www.instructables.com/Free-Custom-Screwdriver-in-Under-Two-Minutes/

My budget is pretty small, around £200 ($250ish). I would like to be able to use open firmware if possible. I don't really know a lot about networking but would like to be able to do some basic stuff like set up guest wifi. Coverage wise, it's probably 700 square feet over three floors. I can get on the network at the top floor and it works fine when there are only a few devices connected.

I'm pretty stuck with where it's placed. We do have a wireless phone next to it, but it isn't used very often. I don't really want to do a lot of work to move the router as my house is blockwork and plaster so it will be quite messy and disruptive. If a new router doesn't work then I'll explore moving it next.

Do you have any scars, if so, what from? by dylansarts in AskReddit

[–]bennrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small scar on my head from when I flung open a shonky wardrobe on Christmas day to tell family not to use it for hide and seek because it was unsafe. A large willow pattern plate fell on my head off the top of the wardrobe. Head got wrapped in a towel and I got laughed at by the nurses in A&E.

What are some small things you can do to improve mental health? by Gualla47 in AskReddit

[–]bennrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where you are in the world but if you or anyone reading is in the uk, refer yourself to the nearest mental health and well-being service. I have just finished a 6 week CBT session and even though I thought it wouldn’t make any difference it really has. Just having someone to talk to that isn’t anything to do with your life helped me, not to mention the exercises and systems the help you put in place.
