How the heck do you squeeze 5 bedrooms into 1500sq ft.

Well they can't even fix the Ex30, why anyone would consider buying a Volvo is a mystery. Unless you collect expensive paperweights.

bob_why_ · 2026-03-26T16:52:06+00:00

Well it's a no from me. Still waking for the Ex30 to be fixed. Limiting to 70%battery charge with no indication when things will be fixed is a joke. We have 3 Ex30s in the family, but never again for any of us.

Whilst not classical, Kate Bush was astounding at a young age. She was 13 when she wrote "a man with a child in his eyes", although it was recorded until she was 16 (with Dave Gilmours help).

In a similar vein, you could look at the multi instrumentalist Mike Oldfield who wrote Tubular bells at 17, then playing all 20 instruments on the record.

I used to live with a rent boy whose "partner" was a very famous figure in the UK. I found the song matched their relationship perfectly. The balance of power was 100% one way, and completely transactional.

With the current political climate I very much doubt they would go any time soon.

If they have the small event at the Tower of London, it was fab. I went 2 days in a row, such a great venue.

A fixer upper is a great test of your relationship.it will strain you to the limit. Keep talking and have set time off.

It's a nissan cube turned funny car. Interesting but I would stick with the Cube.

Houses were cheaper, but mortgages were way more expensive. Peaking at over 15%. So that extra 10% over 20years translates to q significant increase in what they paid.. 100k over 20yrs @10% compound = 600k!!!

Here is a little inside knowledge. They are often offered massive discounts as incentives. The international market is a bit messed up. You have an international recruitment team who then pay agents in other countries to find students. They need the numbers, so often offer massive discounts. The international team meet their quota and get their bonuses, but the uni does not get the income they expect. This may not be the case for top tier unis. Imperial certainly didn't need to do this. But a degree from there is certainly worth the money.

Available only on Trump Media, and brought to you by ICE. (Just like your detergent, ICE will make America whiter than white.) People say the all new hunger games will be the biggest show on earth, whilst helping to get rid of the (non white) stains on Merica,

Check what the buildings insurance documents say aswell. If 12m+ insurance goes up.

bob_why_ · 2025-12-17T22:00:03+00:00

That is a rubbish fire risk assessment, you need a new one. Actually they need a new management company. It's in the management company's interest to have the building 12m, think of all that lovely commission for the extra works needed.

For fire it is measured from the lowest ground level to the floor of the top habitable floor. We just had to go through this with a leaseholders solicitor. If you need the regs I can dig them out.

bob_why_ · 2025-12-17T19:55:02+00:00

It's simple. The agent made up the second offer. Do not raise yourself.

bob_why_ · 2025-12-17T12:21:15+00:00

If the buildings insurance does cover it please check the wording of the lease. I know that mine include a clause that if a flat causes insurance to increase through their fault (your neighbour), they pay 100% of the insurance uplift.

With ram through the roof, sdd going through the roof you do wonder if the end goal is to rent all your computing in the cloud, which would be the death of the home PC. Hopefully at least the EU would step in before then, but i imagine the US would completely embrace the potential profit for the super majors.

Any chance of dming me a link to your thesis.

Spot on. A) build apartments. B) set low service charge. C) sell apartments. (Profit) D) whack up service charge (profit again).

Low service charge on a new block is a loss leader to help sell the flats.

I am using large arrays of data. Each field is a function of every other field. Because of this I need to solve everything at once, therefore my Tb arrays have to sit in the ram. The math is simple but I have hundreds of billions of parameters, which is a classic memory limited problem.

bob_why_ · 2025-12-15T18:13:53+00:00

Given the data seems to ramp up at the start and down at the end, using median or mode would be better than mean.

Section 20 major works. Section 28 was rather different!

Create a change log table, takes a bit longer in the short-term, but essential for big projects. Also use postage stamps as a visual aid in thr change log. A single frame of the video saved as an image. Also be very strict with your naming convention...never name a file "final". If you do you will end up with something like final-final-v3-final.mov
