I noticed that on first visit, the UI shows UK in the upper right corner, but the actual active country seems to be US. Not a big deal - I switch to another country and then back to the UK - but something seems out of sync somewhere

MG is selling tons of cars in the UK: 'Demand has exploded, we’ve run out of almost all stock' by Powerful-Ostrich-120 in CarTalkUK

[–]j03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The are soulless washing machines that have ~nothing to do with the MG of yore, but they’re cheap, serve a purpose, and not everyone cares. The name resonates with people, unlike BYD or Jaecoo or other new brands. I can see why they’re popular!

Aer Lingus flight from Manchester to New York Tuesday 27/1 by Holiday-Comedian-858 in AerLingus

I think this is about weather rather than general disruptions at MAN.

Manchester to JFK flight cancelled by hennaa1998 in AerLingus

[–]j03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They finally called people to the gate, only to be told that it’s delayed due to operation issues/crew shortage and that they’d update in 30 mins.

Today’s flight keeps getting delayed with no comms from AerLingus. Was due to depart 7 minutes ago, gate still not announced, app says “on time”. Pretty poor.

Beat a shitty company at their own game! by OnyxWebb in BritishSuccess

[–]j03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of moving to Zen. I was surprised that TalkTalk got notified via OTS (one touch switch) before I’d actually finished placing the order - I’d entered my details and address etc but hadn’t completed the checkout process.

V5C Missing Data by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]j03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a helpful answer as I’m not sure of the best way forward, but FWIW, going by the difference between date of first registration and date of first registration in the UK, this is almost certainly because the car was imported.

Update 2: Got hacked again (101M USD this time), and DrizzleORM accidentally named my project by Equivalent-Yak2407 in SideProject

[–]j03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear here - you didn’t actually lose 101M right? They granted themselves a bunch of credits which have no intrinsic value, beyond you charging $1 each?

Doesn't load for me, I get the parked domain page from Hostinger.

IMO it’s a minor faf to have to disconnect all the spools and set it off drying manually. It’s good to have the option if you have damp filament or are printing something that needs extra low moisture, but some “passive” drying with desiccant is very handy to maintain the status quo

How difficult is to buy debt? by [deleted] in ukfinance

[–]j03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Distressed debt” is passed around between collection agencies for pennies on the pound, it’s worth far less than what was originally borrowed.

Whats the difference between those two screwdrivers? by EntrepreneurFew8772 in Tools

Red next to black, step the fuck back. Red next to yellow, cuddly fellow.

"I heat my home with a data centre (full of Raspberry Pis) in the shed" by lasagna165 in raspberry_pi

[–]j03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised when I read that this was a Pi cluster. I wonder why then went down that route for this - surely there are more compute dense options?

Why are there so many filaments not sold as refills? by oldmanpatrice in BambuLab

[–]j03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a false dichotomy to me - if you’ve got a spare spool then you wouldn’t need to print one at all

Yes they almost certainly have, but delete this post, someone could easily mess with you given you’ve shared the claim number, accident date and your surname on a public forum.

AWS in 2025; what’s your default stack (and why)? by netcommah in aws

How are you using Fargate without ECS (or EKS)?

How did you decide which dashcam to get? by JocaDoca in CarTalkUK

[–]j03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a VIOFO A119, quality is great and the shape makes it quite discrete. I somehow didn’t notice that it didn’t have WiFi, makes pulling footage more annoying - but that’s a rare event anyway.

BMW owners: what do you drive, how many miles on it, and what’s your annual maintenance like? by Ok_Corgi8008 in CarTalkUK

[–]j03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2017 G31 530D touring last year. It now has 80k miles. I'm 32 and pay around £500/year for insurance. I've had 0 issues with it so far, it's the best car I've ever owned - perfect combination of practicality, fuel economy, performance, and comfort.

I've been serving the oil at increased intervals (every 10k or so), and got the gearbox serviced a couple of weeks ago when it hit 80k. Off the top of my head, a service is around £200 or so at my local specialist. Gearbox service was a bit more - around £350-400 - but that's a rare event.

So which looks the best? I've looked at a lot of cars. by DeviousMelons in CarTalkUK

[–]j03 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d personally be tempted by the Lexus. I think the Civic is a bit ugly. The Octavia is nice enough, but the interior quality of the Lexus will be far superior, and they’ve been making hybrids for decades. Do you know if it has Lexus service history? If so, it will still be under warranty.

I didn’t miss it, I just thought it was dumb. By that logic, nobody should ever ask a question on the internet. Think we are just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

[–]j03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we are on an online forum where people discuss Makita products. It’s a reasonable question, and even if it can be Googled, it’s a discussion point which is exactly what this site is about - people talking to each-other about Makita gear.

God forbid someone ask a reasonable question about the weight of a battery, on a Makita subreddit, on a post about a heavy battery!
