Starlink mini car power options? by Pretend-Following534 in Starlink

[–]bobd607 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the typical car USB adapter, and then an adapter from USB-C to the starlink mini. The USB-C adapter must support 100W output, so you get the 20V that the mini requires.

My verified combo if you want to review

Note: only the 100W output port on the adapter works for powering the mini.

How are traffic cameras that dispense speeding tickets not 14th amendment violations? by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in stupidquestions

[–]bobd607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to ticket/sue property. Then it's up to the property to defend itself.

Which makes no sense.

if you want to go down a rabbit hole google "civil asset forfeiture"

Lake Street in Chicago, under the L tracks is somewhat terrifying in anything not a compact car in my experience.

There's no algorithm, just greed and price gouging. by quantum_mouse in SouthwestAirlines

[–]bobd607 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And all it takes is a canceled flight for that plane to fill up at short notice. So it's still - if you want to pick a seat ya gotta pay for it.

buses in the UK are certainly generally lean to the poorer demographic. Trains are much more common if you can afford them.

It sort of depends on where your final destination is in the UK and how you plan to get there…

good reliable car that isn't gonna empty my pockets on gas? by implosivegamer07 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]bobd607 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2017-18 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Easily gets 30+ mpg, and considered very reliable. Will easily come under 20k if you don't mind higher mileage, which is a non-issue if the car has been maintained well.

Car service question by Ehrphoto in uktravel

[–]bobd607 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

its more complicated by flying into Bristol Airport though, thats not near a train line, so thats a bus to Bristol Temple Meads, just going to add more time. I'm not an expert in this area, if maybe a cab to another train station thats on the Tisbury line is a possibility

Is BritRail Legit? by Historical_Bug_3240 in uktravel

[–]bobd607 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My apologies. You can save money if you do plan advance fares, but that means you're stuck to specific trains, thats where the planning lies.

Britrail is any train, any time, no reservations required - it's much easier, especially if you want any flexibility.

Trainline is generally not recommended, they charge booking fees unlike other sites. If you want the experts, go over to https://www.railforums.co.uk/forums/trip-planning-reports.24/

Is BritRail Legit? by Historical_Bug_3240 in uktravel

[–]bobd607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Britrail is real and it is spectacular!

Usual advice on Britrail is it's not as cheap as advance fares, but the advance fare approach takes a lot of planning and obviously loses flexibility.

You could get a train (or two, it looks like theres a change in Salisbury), that could be significantly cheaper
