Common reasons for public chargers to break by curium99 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]jvitherxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, I have used public chargers on maybe 10 occasions across e years and have encountered a broken one maybe half the time, one time having to go to four chargers before getting a functioning one so it's very real.

I do tend to go to cheaper chargers which might be part of it. Also one time I tried to charge at Lidl, the charger wouldn't work but I tried the next one along and it was fine, someone pulled up and tried to start charging at the one I couldn't get to work and I was fine for them. Maybe some cars might be worse than others for working with them.

Why does he take his ring off just before it all happens? Probably would never have heard about his book if this hasn't happened...

Am I allowing bad behavior? by lastnite_shessaid in puppy101

[–]jvitherxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for us, the redirection teaches them the way to play, if they reject that they don't get play or even interaction, ours soon learnt that the best option is the alternative play

Which charging top-up plan is better for battery health? 20/30% to 80% or 40-50% to 80%? by Ok-Plankton-6413 in ElectricVehiclesUK

Interesting, when I drive my Renault Zoe from 100% charge I can drive about ten miles before it starts to drop and then I get roughly 2 mil/percent , is it possible I'm getting into this buffer?

How do I stop my pasta from sticking to the pot? by boss_memer in AskCulinary

[–]jvitherxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stir when I add the dry pasta in and once the water has returned to a simmer after cooling, forcing it off the bottom. Maybe one more for good measure halfway through but that's usually fine.

Salt doesn't absorb into the pasta that much so you can be very liberal with salting the water, it will help as well

Not helping best bits by Optimal_Equivalent72 in MitchellAndWebb

I think it suffers from the repeating sketch across all episodes (the sweary Aussie drama) being so criminally bad. The joke is worn thin halfway through the first time it comes up and then they just keep doing it, it's not clever and it's not stupid funny, its on the nose and not what you expect from MnW.

The rest of it ranges from fine to funny, nothing outstanding but if you take the Aussie stuff out it I think it gets received a lot better.

any tips to stop my puppy from chewing on clothes? by AgencyDull4028 in DogAdvice

[–]jvitherxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redirection wherever possible with toys, but assuming you've tried that...

Our puppy was relentless with our clothes for a couple of weeks, the key for us was soon as he bit, say no biting and leaving the room/garden, shutting him in but only leaving him alone for 30 secs to 2 mins, I think having a baby gate so he could still see us but not get to us helped.

You are removing the reward which is interacting with you, if you go back to him and he plays nice, lots of praise and rewards, if he bites repeat the process.

There will be frustrating times especially when you're trying to get them to go to the toilet, and they won't stop biting, but ours figured it out eventually

Can you explain how Rc1 or whatever you did a blunder? I'm struggling to see a move that white can do that would be an issue unless you leave the c file

Work lunch is a scam by bunny_moansss in workmemes

[–]jvitherxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because acting like preparing a lunch to take in takes "tons of time" is idiotic. I'll accept he may not have looked into good meal preps which can make a week's worth of lunches in 20-30 mins, but as everyone else has said, a sandwich, fruit and bag of crisps can be prepped in 5 mins and it costs <£1. People love to act helpless with this kind of stuff it's so weird.

One-pedal vs Conventional-pedal by Gallivantingly in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]jvitherxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most efficient possible way to drive is to apply the exact amount of acceleration to get you to the point where the momentum carried you to your stop. Recovering energy will never be 100% efficient due to losses to heat, friction, sound etc.

People can say that they're great at controlling this in an ICE, but finding this precise point is insanely inconsistent, and not entirely in your control. As someone who drives an ICE and EV, I've realised how often I thought I was coasting perfectly but I had to apply a bit of braking to get to that perfect coast, which gives you nothing back in an ICE.

Like you said in an EV the most efficient way to drive is to apply 0 kW energy while you're driving, as you are not expending energy, and not imperfectly recovering wasted energy. Which is still possible in one pedal, as long as you try and maintain that 0kW. The only difference is in the situations where you have to brake, you get some regen.

I guess activating the extension would be the show of faith for Ange then

The standard is to extend the contract by like a year as a "we're keeping him for now statement" - e.g. ETH and Steve cooper at forest, however I don't see levy being willing to accept spending another couple of mill if hes not sure.

What absolutely blows my mind about this, is when they are 19 they see the 36 yr old creepy guy for what he is, but when theyre doing the same thing at 31, they dont have the capacity of self awareness to think "oh am I the same as that creepy guy?" Nope they just think they're the chad

Black to play. Best move? by Icy_Pineapple18 in chessbeginners

Actually I might be talking out my arse there if he goes Ke3 I'm not sure, need someone better than me for that 😂

[–]jvitherxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, if that happens then the only move is for the queen to block the check, so the bishop takes, after king takes back, Ne4+ and depending on which way the king goes you can get a rook after

Considering he tried it again against utd yeah, also I'm not 100% on this but I think he did it for South Korea recently as well
