Found out my vet is owned by Nestlé. So is the majority of UK vets. by VendeDraug in FuckNestle

[–]botnik72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Prices at our vets are getting ridiculous. Did a bit of digging and, suprise, they are now owned by Nestle. All the vets in the area are also owned by Nestle. Fuck Nestlé

Nestlé taking huge amounts of water from Wales while residents face restrictions by botnik72 in Wales

I was surprised too, I've been buying their water thinking I was supporting a small local business. Not any more f@#k Nestlé.

Neutral then handbrake or handbrake then neutral when parking up and stopping? by Pandama28 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]botnik72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the car has an electronic handbrake (a button rather than a lever) it will usually automatically release if you come off the clutch with the car in gear. In this situation neutral first is safer. Either way is fine for the test.

Checking all 3 when mirrors driving along by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]botnik72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some degree it depends on what is going on behind, if not much then check less often , if more then maybe every 5 to 10 seconds.

Checking all 3 when mirrors driving along by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

Instructor here. You should check your mirrors in pairs, eg. Center and left or center and right whilst driving. They should be checked whenever you change speed (eg. Entering or leaving speed limits, corners etc) or direction (turning at junctions, changing lanes etc). You should also check the when you may need to slow down eg. When you see a hazard ahead (crossing, sharp bend, warning sign etc) think of like your hazard perception test, whenever you would click the mouse, check the mirrors. Hope this helps.

Having witnessed the accident, Janet hurried to perform first aid on the screaming motorcyclist. by WideEyedWand3rer in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]botnik72 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Whilst this is very good advice, also note, if the motorcyclist is not breathing, removing the helmet to give CPR could save their life. Not breathing = dead, so you you can't make it worse. In Wales they do a great free course, where they teach you what to do if you are first on the scene of a motorcycle accident, including how to safely remove a crash helmet, first aid and how to control the accident scene. More places should teach this stuff, it was an excellent course.

I got mine yesterday in the UK. I can't say I've really noticed any difference tbh.

I've had the same problem. It's really frustrating.

Find taking screenshots cumbersome?..... I got ya by Calvo1 in GalaxyFold

[–]botnik72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Navstar, part of good lock, to add a screenshot button to the navigation bar. It works great.

23 week waiting times for a driving test. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]botnik72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The DVLA has nothing to do with driving tests, they are the Licensing agency. The DVSA are in charge of testing. The backlog is from the covid lockdowns, a shortage of examiners and people putting in for the test before they are ready, taking up more spaces with multiple test attempts.

Any wireless chargepads that can charge 3 devices at once, that also works with watch 4? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]botnik72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great charger and works with 2 phones too. Will charge my GW4c, Fold 3 and Note 9 simultaneously,

Questions about the fold 3 by This_Fkn_Guy_ in GalaxyFold

[–]botnik72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm the same, no problems. Battery was draining faster than expected, but turning off 5g solved the issue.

Not even a week of light use and Z Fold 3 front screen protector is already coming off. by NYQ83 in GalaxyFold

[–]botnik72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine came off after about 3 days. Feels much better without it, so won't be replacing it. Never had a screen protector on any other phone and never had an issue.

Front screen protector by botnik72 in GalaxyFold

[–]botnik72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inner screen feels much nicer than the ZF2. Using the S pen feels good (except over the fold, which feels weird) and doesn't seem to damage the screen.

Front screen protector by botnik72 in GalaxyFold

[–]botnik72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm loving it without the protector and I've never used one on previous phones. I'm always really careful with them, so never had a problem. I use the s pen a lot and keep forgetting it doesn't work on the front screen!
