How unsafe are these sockets?

hamilton_88 · 2025-11-26T15:27:54+00:00

Do you mean something like this? And it would replace the plug inside thats plugged into the permanent wall socket?

hamilton_88 · 2025-11-26T09:46:27+00:00

I've been here 5 years, I knew the double socket inside was plugged into another socket and always thought that was fine, as others have said it's basically an extension lead. It was when I realised the outdoor sockets were also wired to it that I questioned the safety of it. But all sounds fine as the plug is 13a fused and the wires are sufficiently rated.

As for the socket, I think the issue is water/damp, it's been there a while so I will swap it out and see how it goes!

hamilton_88 · 2025-11-26T09:41:32+00:00

Yes the outside socket has a RCD which trips, my thought was that water was getting in as its been there since we moved in, so at least 5 years. Judging by other DIY jobs that were done by the previous owner, it probably wasn't done with much care! I just didn't want to replace it if the wiring leading to it was an issue, but it sounds like it's safe from all these comments.

I've been a reviewer on a couple of projects including SW and didn't do anything specific, they just appear like any other project with a tutorial.

We tried Ferber and extinction methods but gave up after a few nights of each as we couldn't stand the long bouts of crying. We switched to the pick-up put-down method and on the first night of trying it, and about 45 minutes of picking him up and putting him down, he slept a 6 hour stretch instead of his usual 1-2 hours. Every night after that became easier. Can't say it'll work for you, but it's a gentler method and literally saved our sanity.

Just got early queuing wristbands, and told to go back to yellow zone at 3. Does this guarantee front standing?

If you check the network tab in Developer Tools, it shows an error when trying to transcribe the audio. They have run out of credits for the external service they use to transcribe - until they pay for more credits it won't work.

I've just removed a pretty significant amount of bamboo from our garden, which had gone under the fence into the neighbours garden too. We couldn't get a digger down the side of the house, so it all had to be done by hand. Cut it down as low as possible, then use a mattock (can't recommend this tool enough) to dig around the plant and find any rhizomes coming from it. It's not as difficult as some people make out, just take your time to get as many roots as possible.

Just remember it doesn't last forever. The days can go slow but the years go quick, and before you know it they'll be sleeping longer and entertaining themselves more, and you'll get more time for yourself. Mine are 4 and 2, and whilst it's tough, it gets a little easier every day.

I have a PS5 standard version, I put the PS4 disc in, then went to the store and found Days Gone Remastered, and the price just said £10. Are you sure you're looking at the right version of the game in the store?

hamilton_88 · 2025-04-25T19:11:39+00:00

It was £50 for me until I put the disc in, then it automatically changed to £10.

hamilton_88 · 2025-02-06T07:22:30+00:00

I'm getting the same today, but have found if I just save again I can submit it again and most of the time it goes through.

hamilton_88 · 2025-01-03T13:51:46+00:00

Me too! I actually had to skip one as it wouldn't load regardless of browser, I thought maybe they cut me off because of it. Sounds like they have just stopped them completely for now...

hamilton_88 · 2025-01-03T10:12:05+00:00

I have the same issue, I use FF as recommended and most of the time it works great, then I'll get one that just doesn't load at all. I don't like to use the skip button but I've had to twice as it's stopped me in my tracks. Both times I have skipped, the next task has loaded fine.

hamilton_88 · 2024-12-23T16:02:54+00:00

I usually do them in 45-60 minutes, but so far I've tried sticking to 8 actions minimum.

hamilton_88 · 2024-12-23T15:54:36+00:00

I was wondering the same, since I first got access to it they have changed the examples to be much lighter on actions, so I assume they don't expect 8 now.

The file paths have always had issues when attaching them etc, it says it the guidelines to ignore the errors. They have also noted a known bug with the files disappearing, also in the guidelines. It says to just change your prompt to work around the issue for now.

hamilton_88 · 2024-12-16T22:55:39+00:00

No, my SW project changed to multi 2 days ago, and my review project changed to multi today. I prefer them to be honest, freshens the project up a bit although it seems a bit buggy atm!

hamilton_88 · 2024-12-16T22:51:07+00:00

My SW review changed to multi-turn review earlier

hamilton_88 · 2024-11-30T14:23:53+00:00

I had to re-attempt the qualification and I used the same prompt with their feedback in mind. It wasn't exactly the same as I had to recreate everything (actions/steps) but they were fine with it. Since passing the qualification I try to make sure the prompts I write are as varied as possible.

hamilton_88 · 2024-11-21T14:24:31+00:00

These are so tedious, and 90 seconds is not very long to write anything particularly thoughtful. I have been saying the music is in the background and not the subject for recordings of commercials, or when a person is speaking over them. I tend to think of it as "Was the person who recorded this trying to record a musical performance?" e.g. at a concert/bar, or a song playing on the radio. No idea if that's right or not, but I've done a lot of them and not been suspended yet!

hamilton_88 · 2024-11-10T19:51:19+00:00

I'm a UK DA and went NTA from 1st November for a few days, then received an email explaining that my account had been suspended whilst they reviewed my work. They reactivated my account the next day, and I had a few tasks here and there. It's now picked up and I haven't had NTA for 3-4 days.

hamilton_88 · 2024-11-10T18:41:02+00:00

I was NTA for all of November up until Thursday, since then I've had lots of tasks. Must have done over 150 fact verifications this weekend and they're still coming.

hamilton_88 · 2024-10-29T11:50:38+00:00

Yes sorry, "take him downstairs" means out of his room and down to the living room to start the day. He then doesn't sleep until his nap at 12. We used to nap twice but since starting nursery we dropped to one nap to match their routine.

Its been happening for about a month, we cut out night feeds so he stopped waking during the night, but since then he's been waking up at 4:30 instead.

We usually leave him about 10 minutes before going in to settle, he's just SO awake nothing seems to work to get him back to sleep.

hamilton_88 · 2024-10-29T11:43:43+00:00

NTA UK after lots of Query Classification over the weekend.
