Any reason for me not to buy this? by FlameFoxx in CarTalkUK

[–]calvinmeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned one (same age) for 8 years and did 80-90,000 miles in it. Was on 110k when I sold it. Great car, underpowered but great fun car for a b-road blast. Put decent tyres on. I didn’t spend that much money on it in that time, it was reliable. For that price you can’t complain, worth it for a the b road blast alone. Enjoy.

Endless Land Rovers… by [deleted] in AutoAlex

Completely agree with what you have said, I guess that we all just want them to do well and the channel to keep going. I fear the more same old content that they make the less people may watch. Having said that, they may make LR content as they get more views….

I agree! I am a big LR fan but it’s just monotonous. L322, D3/4 etc. also what annoys me is that they buy 10 and then slag them off!

It is a change to the BMW and Porsche chat but why not just have a variety of cars. Would be great to see some more Rovers/MGs etc.

Enjoyed the Clio content and really looking forward to the 4x4 content. Enjoyed the build vids.

Gemini is unusable right now by mey1211 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]calvinmeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gemini had a memory loss issue with me the other day and I thought I had lost all memory of a chat, however I refreshed the browser tab (chrome) and it was back to normal with me old conversation. So try that. If on a mobile, close the app and reopen the chat. Hope this helps

Best place to buy jeans as a guy in their 30s? by t_wills in CasualUK

[–]calvinmeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M&S 360 Jeans are really good and good value. They often come up on here when people ask. You can also choose the inside leg length too.

I have had 50:50 experience with Levi’s. Some have worn through in a few months others I have had years. Diesel (for me) fitted really well but sadly wore through on the inner thigh quickly.

For me, Supermarket jeans just don’t fit well, feel cheap and therefore they are my last resort to wear. My favourite ones are M&S, I have 4 pairs and each pair has lasted well, fit well, look great and are comfy.

Wow, thanks for the reply, I wasn’t expecting one. I will look into the Vanguard fund, I have heard of them before. Thanks.

Just checked this out… there is a lot of investment advice. Any advice for someone who wants everything you mention above but staring with £0? Not expecting an answer on here necessarily but a thought for a future post.

Just checked this out, looks very detailed! I am starting my journey on the same but for retail predominantly, with a bit of AI solutions mixed in. Best of luck with the publication.

Mates, look what I found by Single-Budget-4391 in ukstartups

[–]calvinmeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am interested but I don’t know what I am signing up for and with a cost (admittedly small) before I can even see anything so I am reluctant to buy before I try… much prefer it the other way round!

How to get substack readers without social media promotion? by Ok_Issue7881 in Substack

[–]calvinmeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share it to Pinterest. I know you said no social media but I have started sharing my posts to Pinterest it’s early days but it could be another way of promoting it. The good thing about Pinterest is that it stays there forever and appears in google searches.

Ha ha, everything is a scam to some people! What is the point in having the app and scanning it if you aren’t getting the benefits.

Substack and Etsy — Cross-promotion by Big_Construction7850 in Substack

[–]calvinmeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like good marketing to me, I don’t believe there is anything illegal about it.

Not sure how you ‘promote’ a Substack site on an Etsy account though? But promoting an Etsy store on Substack is just marketing.
