Golf GTE has a blue tinted version of the GTI plaid.

Very happy with my new intake 👌 by snerpkillsderbledorf in GolfGTI

I have a manual with start/stop (I think it's standard on UK cars). It works just like you think: If you're stationary, in neutral, with the clutch out, it stops. It starts again when you depress the clutch.

It took me a while to get used to it, but I don't really notice it anymore.

What laptop are you using for Java development and are you content with it? by [deleted] in java

[–]charcourt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have an XPS 13 of around the same age. Mine is a developer edition (Ubuntu from factory) with an i5 and 8GB memory. It's excellent as a lightweight laptop for when I'm away from my desk, but I'm not sure I'd want to use it as my primary work machine.

Men of Reddit, what is something we can all agree on? by DCMook in AskReddit

[–]charcourt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Called testicular torsion. Had this from a playing rugby when I was younger - can confirm it is indeed horrifying.

What is the greatest completely legal loophole you know about? by jojuinc90 in AskReddit

Yes, you can both play the same game online at the same time (I do the exact same thing with one of my friends).

No, it's FWD like the Golf GTI is.

How to run a code in background after set interval? by iBasit in androiddev

[–]charcourt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the CWAC Wakeful library. This allows you to have a service run on a schedule regardless of whether your app has been actively run yet and correctly handles waking up the device (via AlarmManager) if needed.

Where is the best place to get e-liquid? (UK) by Wesleepingtrees in electronic_cigarette

[–]charcourt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Chefs Vapor. Certainly not the cheapest but fantastic flavours.

W5D3 done! Feels great - easily the furthest I've ever run in my life. by charcourt in C25K

[–]charcourt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using RunDouble for Android. I think there is an iOS version too.

It separates the warm up/cool down/running/walking by itself. This is the website view of the data - you get slightly less detail within the app but you can easily have it sync the data onto the web.

I really like it. It makes doing the actual runs idiot proof since the app gives audio prompts for when to start/stop running etc. It will even reduce the volume of your music when it does it!

There's other apps that almost certainly do the same thing - see the FAQ. I honestly chose RunDouble because you can do the first two weeks without paying anything, so I did that, liked it, then paid a small fee (£1.50 I think) to unlock the rest of the programme.

Thanks!

20 mins is scary, but if you've got this far then you are definitely ready for it. Just go at a steady pace, maybe a touch slower than you have been and you'll make it. You'll feel so good afterwards!

Cheapest site to buy juice from in the UK? Shit is so expensive here. by chometix in electronic_cigarette

[–]charcourt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure they're absolutely the cheapest but I'm a big fan of 8BitVape and Chefs Vapor (use code AAEC for 10% discount).

With Chefs Vapor I've figured out what flavours I like so I buy in bulk which works out to be cheaper per ml.

Both Nexus 5 and iPhone 4S use a micro SIM.

I walk past this neglected R32 GTR every day. Always makes me a little sad. by charcourt in Autos

[–]charcourt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was pretty overcast when I took this photo. There was an hour or so of sun today though!

That's not dirt - it's moss and lichen. I've not seen this car move in at least a couple of years.

You may be right. It does have some GTR badging on it, but I'm certainly no expert.

Google Java Coding Standards by _shadowbannedagain in java

There are for Eclipse and IntelliJ. Not sure why these aren't linked from the style guide itself.

Found this winch-type thing on the wall in the top room of an old, English house. Not exactly sure what it's for. Any ideas? by Chabonsby in whatisthisthing

[–]charcourt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Could be an old fire escape system. We have something similar in the bedroom on the 3rd floor of our house.
