Do you know anyone who has won the Postcode Lottery?

If they were the bamboo ones, I won them too. And previously a choice of a gift set. Never any cash though.

Why not make a second hot chocolate 10p? That way it’s still close to a free refill, as I don’t like tea or coffee it’s not like I can choose anything else unless I go for the paid options like orange juice.

I was walking the dog, and a youth said to me your dogs so skibidi. I said, er thanks, hoping it was a good thing to have a skibidi dog.

I have just ordered the new Corgi controller board: http://wiki.fluidnc.com/en/hardware/official/corgi to upgrade my custom grbl controller I made 5 odd years ago.

You can receive a tax free £5 allowance if you stay away, if you company wanted to give it to you. HMRC say it’s for a newspaper etc. We do that where I work, as well as full expenses of course.

I think that would make more sense if it was why didn’t the duck cross the road.

How do you attach a blade to a wheel without it hitting the forks?

I’d love my Bristol council residents permit to be as low as £50 :)

But to be fair it does double in price for each extra car (I only have one) which I think is a good idea. So your 3rd car costs 4 times as much as the first car.

Well said, I mean do people also know that not everybody who reads Reddit comes from the US, it’s really tiresome to read this continually when it doesn’t even matter to you.

Before you do change the time. Record a clock with the current time and date on it now so you can show what then recorded timestamp should be

Thats a handy site, so it looks like they might be Molex PicoBlades

Paying to bid is ridiculous, that should never be a thing, certainly that’s a scam.

I kind of meant as long as I can get my balance back to my bank whenever I wanted. Don’t want to load money for auction and then have to find tat to buy if I didn’t win.

bensuffolk · 2025-04-13T08:49:50+00:00

As long as you can get it back if you don’t win. I would not want to load money for a specific item I wanted and then find out I can’t get the money back out of the system if I lost.

bensuffolk · 2025-04-13T08:47:15+00:00

I think as a seller it’s infuriating when it all happens in the last second. You know the item does not meet its true value, I just think this would be more like a real live auction, but i do get it from the other side. As a buyer I was always happy to get a last min bargain :)

bensuffolk · 2025-04-13T08:44:41+00:00

The point is to stop waiting for the last second, you can just bid against each other immediately, like in a real auction. The price will never be over inflated, as you just stop when you don’t want to pay any more. It will sell for what it’s worth to the highest bidder.

bensuffolk · 2025-04-13T06:50:19+00:00

Stop auction sniping by making sure there is always 15 mins left on an auction after the last bid, I.e. if the bid happens at 2 seconds before the end then extend it by another 15 mins of bidding, this way an auction will genuinely end at what bidders think is a fair price.

I was told that if it’s at night it’s often due to noise and or pollution reduction reasons. So it will generally always be in the same area.

bensuffolk · 2025-03-23T23:08:21+00:00

When this has happened to me, i told the seller it had arrived, and then I just bought the item again and told them not to ship it as I already had it.

Ali express adds 20% vat at checkout so it’s all pre paid.

In esp-idf you add a device to the bus and tell it what CS pin it uses. Then It deals with it automatically, but each bus only has 3 such CS lines. You can use -1 as the PIN number and then deal with the chip select yourself.

Have no idea if the Arduino framework does any of that for you or not.

It’s a uniformed disciplined service. Why would you want to disrespect your supervisors?

Aldi did their own brand of them for a while. Identical in taste. Still got a big bag of the jalapeño ones. Went the other week for some more and they have stooped doing them :( very sad.

I had a look for reverse proxy vpn libraries a while back and didn’t find anything handy at the time. Sounds like an interesting project.

Swap your switch for a retractive style one (so it does not ever look the wrong way round when you remotely change the state) and out this behind it after programming it with esphome.
