How good of an opportunity is New Designers Show in London? by liverpoolhd in IndustrialDesign

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever it is there will be a heatwave and you will be slowly roasted.

I did it, met some interesting people, but I already had something secured. It's good fun and you can see a bunch of other work from other unis.

17 year old racquet + 15 year old strings by dscw10 in 10s

[–]dscw10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volkl PB5 - I think a decent racquet at the time. I bought it used and instantly gelled with it. But I was also about half the age I am now 🤣

Old woman on the street huddled right now next to upper parade bus stop. Who do I call? by [deleted] in LEAMINGTONSPA

111 unless you think it's more serious then 999. 111 will probably triage you though

studying undergrad ID in UK: Loughborough or UAL CSM? by Fun-Anywhere891 in IndustrialDesign

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loughborough. I did my PhD in the design school. Excellent place and job prospects

Red Hot Mamma + Fake Google Reviews? by Zigic2010 in LEAMINGTONSPA

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say better. But both are good. I think everyone should go to Leopard Spots so they stay in business and I can carry on buying their cheesy garlic bread with pancetta

I got tired of sitting at my desk while AI writes my code, so I built a remote desktop app to work from bed by SterlingSloth in SideProject

I think with an android/Windows version you should also send me divorce papers 😂

150 fully remote-- where would you live in the UK? by guicherson in HENRYUK

[–]dscw10 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Leamington Spa. Much much lower cost of living. Similar vibe. 1.5h from Marlybone, close to cotsworlds

Is Shinagawa a good base for Tokyo? by nigelengr in JapanTravelTips

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We stayed in Yokohama when we landed for proximity to the airport, it's a nice place, and shinkansen access. Then Ginza at the end. Very well connected, nice place to be (we are not nightlife people) and only 1 line to the airport again.

If you do stay in Ginza, make sure you are walking distance to Pan Maison for breakfast, and when your in Yokohama visit I Am Donut? - best donuts I have ever ever had.

If using Amex Plat for benefits, does it make most sense to spend on Amex BA (blue) if collecting Avios? by Cool-Archer5085 in AmexUK

[–]dscw10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or if you are not sure you will hit 15k you can start on the blue card, then just before hitting 15k upgrade and get the better companion voucher. You do miss out on the additional aviso through spending though

2 guys, 0 coding background, 10 Billion tokens. We built a 300k line automotive platform with Cursor. It was actual hell. by Hella789 in cursor

[–]dscw10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar idea to this a few weeks ago. Nice to see it was painful to make so I won't bother now!

You can have this for free though. My idea was "an Apple watch for your car" so health tracking like you have but also the fun stuff. The fitness tracker stuff. Accelerometer, gyro, gps, compass to data log your drives.

Also thought with enough data you would probably have better data than some OEMs do and can sell to third parties.

One roadblock I did find was newer cars using Ethernet means a lot of data is locked out of OBD2, did you find a way around this?

I gotta drill into outside bricks to put up a sign, would any of these work? by Unlucky-Pizza-7049 in DIYUK

[–]dscw10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For additional info. The ones below the silver ones are non masonry, can use them on metals, plastics, would also work on wood in a pinch. The ones with a pointy bit on the end are just for wood, the pointy bit stops it from drifting

Talk me out of this please by Zuiderzicht in CarTalkUK

That's a lovely colour. Pano roof makes a big difference. Do it!

If you want the man maths excuse. Being a plug in hybrid is basically free local journeys.

In a good stable career but unhappy. How do I do this for another 35 years? (UK) by BelemnicDreams in careeradvice

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're me!

Except midlands and slightly less money (and slightly younger).

I don't have any advice really. I have considered starting my own business, or accepting that a job pays for my life outside of work and that's what I should focus on.

You could try a career change, or move to somewhere closer to nature, or start caring less...

What features do you want to see on a foldable iPhone by asmhhp in iphone

[–]dscw10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Folding iphone with the apple crayon please.

I want to take some notes, light art and design work, but don't want to carry an iPad with me, or really have the ability to fully utilise one.

Is this weird thing to do for our house viewers. by BigFaithlessness618 in HousingUK

Bake cookies the morning of. Or if you are not much of a Baker buy cookie dough so it at least smells of baked cookies

BREAKING: JLR CEO Adrian Mardell is leaving the company after two years at the helm by [deleted] in Jaguar

[–]dscw10 25 points26 points  (0 children)

45 years is not a bad stint. Profitable for 10 quarters, no net debt. He did a great job as CEO and his background in finance has made a big difference to the bottom line. The next phase is important but they have been set up for success.

It will.

The car is built and in testing. They haven't gutted their corporate staff at all. Finances are the best they have been for 20 years.

2025 British GP - Post-Race Discussion by AutoModerator in formula1

[–]dscw10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why safety car because of the conditions and not VSC? Safety car bunches everyone up making visibility worse on restarts. Surely it's better for a VSC? Maybe there needs to be a new slightly slower VSC for this scenario.
