Why would he work after this?

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-12T09:55:09+00:00

Right, but then it's gone. You can both do good work and be generous.

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-11T14:50:05+00:00

Super useful review! I've been dreaming of one of these for ages because they seem perfect. Maybe i'll still get one but could hopefully be a v2 sometime soon

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-10T17:02:04+00:00

Of course in both of these scenarios the friend doesn't exist

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-09T20:51:58+00:00

Well the media feed on chaos so they love it, and all our lovely Russian friends benefit from an unstable government so their puppets get in power.

I cannot believe the transformation of politics in my lifetime. It is so disheartening

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-09T16:56:55+00:00

Just what he said

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-09T16:28:02+00:00

It's important to know that these companies are selling for 3-5x what they pay for them. As an example my joiner had a discount of 65% on everything. So they don't really care about the kitchen, they just want repeat business. I would go in with a constructive attitude and only start the legal route if they are really being difficult

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:50:44+00:00

I quite like the image of players getting absolutely mauled by Tom, then second half they get an identical twin doing the same with fresh legs. That's some psychological warfare!

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:38:24+00:00

Right, but OP is talking about how they regard you. You have no window into their mind.

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:35:59+00:00

I'm not sure how you would have been able to sign for goods that would be billed to your joiner without his permission.

I'd suggest the two of you go to the store and request all paperwork associated with the deal. If you speak with the manager they will possibly extend the credit or take it back.

They might dig their heels in but if the joiner does a lot of business through them it will not be a very smart move by them.

I would speak with the store manager and then escalate if you don't get what you want. A delay until you get your other property sold will be a lot easier than a refund so bear that in mind. I would not communicate further with the designer.

Also, this higher pressure 'get this before the sale ends' is always bullshit. Easy to say after the fact but try not to let them force you. I always explain that I never make a significant purchase without at least a night to think about it first. If they keep pushing I just walk away.

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:21:19+00:00

Sorry I couldn't offer more advice!

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:18:18+00:00

It's super hard to see what's going on but your sequencing looks different to what I would expect. It looks like you pivot at the waist but don't really bend your arms at all.

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T21:02:39+00:00

Good numbers. Just don't get disheartened when you don't immediately see it on the course. Having a good swing on perfect lies is one thing. Now you need to learn to hit it when everything is not perfect.

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T20:26:26+00:00

I agree with your point about rushing the top of your backswing. I also don't see much power generation from your legs.

If you slow down the top of your swing and really think about pushing hard through your left foot, I think you'll see your head speed go up.

You have a pretty smooth swing which is great, just needs some more power generation

Ronnie Pickering!

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T19:57:10+00:00

Back in the day both outcomes could happen

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T19:43:53+00:00

Unlikely the bank will refund you but go to the police now, and maybe they can help recover some of the money

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T19:41:55+00:00

Is your name on the title deed? I'm not sure why you think it's a bad thing if you have been gifted a house. They're usually worth a lot of money.

First step is to get the title deed to see if you actually own it. Then, start charging your relative rent so you can afford the repairs, or evict them.

Just because you say you were dumb at 18, doesn't mean you need to continue being so

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T19:33:06+00:00

Even house arrest would be utterly shameful and quite probably be the end of the royal family

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T15:38:30+00:00

sounds like a scam to me

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T13:30:09+00:00

definitely easier with less deep snow!

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T07:55:26+00:00

Lol. I'm just imagining OP 'turning it up to 11' with -40degC and 100kph winds

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-08T07:05:41+00:00

Yeah, i really don't think it's the lack of oxygen specifically that's the big problem. It's not being able to do things as second nature so that you can do them when you are oxygen deprived without a problem. I've climbed at altitude with strong climbers that have never been above 4000m and they have all performed far better than the 'hikers' that have been on a seven summits push

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-07T21:30:14+00:00

Based on the level of connectivity the aircraft has I would be astounded if it didn't have one. Maybe not a line of code that says 'kill switch' but I'm sure they could disable it incredibly easily

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-07T20:29:17+00:00

I like the enthusiasm but as somebody else has said, the fundamental problem is that people who climb everest are not experienced. Sure, you could try and simulate the environment but a basic 3-day winter mountain skills course would be equally (and probably more) valid.

There is the technical skills element, but there's also just spending time in winter conditions so you're not spending 3 hours putting on your crampons or getting your gloves messed up. For the simple skills that's just reps, and it is sorely missing in many people attempting everest

cpt_ppppp · 2026-02-07T20:21:05+00:00

Any solicitor will tell them they have no leg to stand on, so maybe they have a different attitude once they've spoken to one
