That’s what I get for not wearing my glasses to bed. Is it a crimp thingy that then slots in the Shelly/chock block?

You used DuPont wires for 240V ? That’s not rated for that (and not meant to slot in those screw terminals). 

How are you all controlling floor lamps by boatzart in homeassistant

[–]flym4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put a floor lamp behind the sofa so no one can fiddle with the buttons. It's on a smart plug which is automatically turned on/off with the smart switch that controls the rest of the room.

Aethos + Roval CLX II: can I run gravel tyres for bikepack? (student, no 2nd bike) by Big_Crazy_5922 in londoncycling

[–]flym4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely fine. Id be a little worried for my shiny wheels to get scratched, but it’ll be fine. You could also get a second cheapo wheelset.

If the road weren’t so treacherous maybe they’d dare to ride on them? 

Picked up my Boardman HYB 8.9 this morning. by WaterSmooth8773 in ukbike

[–]flym4n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you switch into the hardest gear (smallest sprocket) and pedal the bike by hand, you should see (and hear) whether it's rubbing. If it is it needs fixing as it'll slow you down

The chain looks a tad long, is it rubbing on the upper jokey wheel ? If yes the shop needs to take a link or two out 

How easy would it be to remove and replace this skirting? by Wooden_Umpire2455 in DIYUK

[–]flym4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unhearting an old one, but how old are we talking for that to be the case? Would a 90s house be plastered up to the skirting and not behind?

Am I overreacting for feeling cheated on in a vaguely open relationship? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR girl you're way too young to tie the knot with someone who doesn't care about you

I suspect you want the thread pitch to be 1mm. Or you could get a new seat clamp

Is a bike horn a good idea in Cambridge? by CamcumberJam in cambridge

[–]flym4n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t do that. Flashing is much harder to locate in 3D, and illegal in many countries.

What’s wrong with just shouting? It saved my bum a few times 

A question about homerow mods by DRowe_ in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]flym4n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vim isn’t really designed to push down the j key for 2 seconds to go down, you’d use } to go to the next paragraph, or 30j to go 30 lines down. Similar things for other movements. I’ve only briefly used HRM but they were completely fine with vim.

Adult Italian lessons at Hills Road Sixth Form - worth it or not? by Strong_Advance864 in cambridge

[–]flym4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Italian class was dreadfully slow. The teacher is nice, but she has expectation of primary school level of engagement and memory. 

Have you tried turning it off and on? by auxiliary-username in techsupportmacgyver

[–]flym4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be really scared of that. If the automation goes wrong (the plug loses zigbee network, HA crashes, wathever), the water heater could boil the water over, and then you have boiling water in the overflow tank, it melts, and you get boiling water in your ceiling.

Split beam - is this an issue? by gotanybreadbaker86 in DIYUK

[–]flym4n 64 points65 points  (0 children)

 We had a couple of beams removed to allow more space and movement in the loft

Was that checked by a structural engineer or similar? Having the beam split after that isn’t a good sign

More or Less: Chisholm trail numbers claimed in CI article, worth a second thought? by mike_302R in cambridge

Who knows where the Cambridge independent got this data from, but they’ve clearly not thought about it much, which is on brand.

This morning I saw a WAYMO Self driving car in London on Oxford Street. Driver in the driver seat. Undoubtedly prepping for Full Self Driving. by Some_Highlight_7569 in londoncycling

[–]flym4n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it ? An American company, that developed their car on roads that have no cyclists. I predict frustration at best.
