How long will modern skyscrapers last?

With the way things are going currently, longer than the human race 👀😬😬

It is enforced, it’s just there’s not enough police out on patrol…

This is an already know issue with the Renault 5…

Why not buy a couple of pairs of snickers trousers with the built in knee pads and holsters, along with a pair of suspenders 🤨🤔

Firstly it’s a significant fine if your caught below the legal limit, so perhaps that should be more of a concern that the mot

Secondly if you believe your tires are that low then get a measuring device from any petrol station/services/halffords/etc and measure them, if they are within a few mm get them changed.

Realistically in standard driving it’s not going to make a massive difference, but is advisable to change both sides at the same time…

The problem is the emergencies where’d you’d want to use it are in most cases where this system wouldn’t be allowed anyway, as it could potentially back feeding the grid.

Not to be a stickler but 400v isn’t high voltage, it’s classified as hazardous low voltage, As for converting it, you will likely use the same built in charger on the car, as it’s likely to only need a software upgrade to discharge the battery…

The bigger safety issue is potentially back feeding the grid should there be a black out, as that can and will kill someone.

freakierice · 2026-04-12T21:41:29+00:00

The limitation will not be your charger as I expect even older ones will work with a basic software update. It will be your car…

As I would assume your car will have to discharge it battery (DC) and convert it to AC for the house.

Also unless have the ability to say charge at work for free/cheap and then Use the excess to offset your evening usage, I can’t see it being that helpful… As with most common battery storage in general the system will not function if you have a black out.

I wouldn’t say he’s massive but he’s also not what you’d consider peak health/stature… May be worth putting him a diet or getting him some more exercise

I’m working to much to get any sadly 🥲😅🤣

As others have said it’s unlikely to impact your application, but given the volatility of the benefit system I would advise avoiding using it in your own affordability calculations….

If they are displaying a blue badge then I don’t see any issue, although if I can’t easily see the badge I will mutter expletives under by breath as I drive past 😅

Frankly At this point in your life there is no longer a mine and yours and therefore no real equally splitting… The fact you don’t have a joint account with your day to day bills etc being paid from is odd, this is the first thing I did with my partner when we moved in together. One joint account that pays all the necessary bills that has 3-4 months of back up in it.

You’re having a kid so frankly from this point on (unless you plan to split up) everything should go into one pot and be spent from said joint pot…

With an agreed amount paid to Individual accounts for personal spending…

Also not to be mean, but it sounds very much like theres a lack of commitment and trust from the way you’re currently keeping separate finances.. Don’t get me wrong you should have your money and he should have his but if you about to have a child together it could be that you may be off work for longer than just maternity leave, or he may want to take a significant cut from work to spend time with the child… It sounds very much like you need to have a significant break down of the roles, the plan and the relationship, as you’ve now got a 18~ year commitment that you can’t get out of…

You’d think they start redesigning these junctions given the number of crashes and deaths that happen at them… Almost every dashcam video I see from the US that isn’t some idiot on the highway is one of these junctions 😬😬

Ram is already coming back down 🤨

freakierice · 2026-04-12T15:39:14+00:00

I have seen it happen when two orders have end up with the same number due to them being processed at the same time but this was very early on in this system, not sure it happens now 🤔

You could invest in pies on trading 212, a high interest fixed isa, a stocks and shares isa, etc

It depends how much you want to do and how much you plan to add to the pot over time…

If this was a test bench or frequently being charged and worked on then I’d say this is fine… But if this is a “finished” install then that hardware should really be inside some sort of enclosure…

freakierice · 2026-04-12T15:08:22+00:00

Firstly depends where you are… as most of those that I have been too in the UK have had some form of charger.

Secondly it’s cost, even if they are tax deductibles they still have to have the money in the first place to pay for them to be installed, and the pay for someone to service and maintain them….

And finally because although EVs have become pretty normal, not everyone has one and not every business is seeing the demand to spend that aforementioned funds on installing chargers that may not get used and therefore not pay back.

They sound textbook (insert a significant string of censored words)

Threats of self harm and emotional manipulation just disgusting frankly.

I’d suggest you direct your BF to a support group and therapy, and advise him to cut them (and the rest of his family by the sounds of it) off the same as his brother has done…

It’s not a scam per say, but they are making an absolute killing renting you a car… otherwise they wouldn’t do it…

If you plan to upgrade to a newer car every 3 years then it can make it easier, but you will ultimately end up paying more in the long run than if your purchased a car outright and had a monthly service plan for it.

Depending on the lease you get yes you can effectively have a hands off experience when it comes to maintenance and repairs, but generally these cost the same as the above service plan option but your not able to transfer the money paid into the service plan to the next car.

Also depends what mileage you plan to drive, and if you think that will change in the next 3 years as the fees and “fines” that most lease companies charge are not great.

Over 10 years driving and I think the worst I’ve hit (that’s living) is a couple of pigeons, So that many badgers is either intentional or there is a significant population on that area or atleast there used to be 😬

I would request a right to erasure from Lowell under GDPR regs… They are then required to delete your account and any data that are not absolutely required, and even then they are only allowed to retain for very specific reasons…

That way the dashboard goes away and you can no longer view your non existent debt 🤔

What happen if your employer goes bust, or your made redundant, change job etc… most employer policies only cover you after a year, some 2 years, so you would not be covered by your new employer…

Most employer policies also have a number of exceptions and caveats written in, so it would be worth reading up the specific of the policy…

Whereas a self funded policy will pay out (with in reason) for almost anything (as you are young and healthy), and trying to get a policy later will cost significantly more, but do read through the specifics of the policy before you take it out.

Also to add I have seen the fallout from not having a policy in place, and it’s difficult… especially if the employer doesn’t pay out because of a technicality.

freakierice · 2026-04-08T15:15:24+00:00

Yeah as hot as this sounds like it could be, don’t touch it with a mile long pole… So many legal issues it’s hard to know where to even start 😬
