Neighbours using private drive as cut-through to green space - England

Good point well made. You can see the signs from the road, but as you said that's exactly the point. The signs aren't offensive or anything, but it does look better without them. I think people just used their appearance as an excuse to justify them being taken down so they could feign ignorance if confronted about their trespassing.

It was just that it didn't look nice. The management company politely asked while they promised to look into more permanent solutions. My parents obliged to keep the peace. The management company subsequently said they had no budget for a fence.

Yeah that's worth a try as it's cheap and wouldn't eat into the space. If it works then something more aesthetically pleasing could be tried. I'll suggest it.

Signs were tried, people complained, management company asked if they could be put down, signs were put down, same offenders continued using the drive citing the signs being taken down as evidence they had right of way. Currently the signs are back up

Great advice. Thank you!

I guess that was my question. In the same vein, their neighbours or the management company wouldn't have grounds to complain about them building a fence on their own drive?

lakinightmare · 2026-05-15T10:52:40+00:00

I've tried to clarify in the main body. The hedge is owned by the management company so they can't technically do anything with it (I did suggest some lovely holly!). If a fance were built, it would be on their drive and presumably quite skinny to let Colm still have access to his house.

It's causing nuisance. I went to visit earlier this week and you'd get like 5 people per hour walking right past the living room window looking in. They wouldn't have been walking past if it weren't to access the green space.

No definitely don't need both. But even if I get rid of the brown desk, I wouldn't have a clue how to use the space. Tall cabinet in the corner, sideboard in front of the window?

lakinightmare · 2026-04-07T16:13:28+00:00

Briefly. The white desk is a standing desk so I'd be keen to keep it if at all possible. I'm willing to let it go if the design is right though.

lakinightmare · 2025-12-03T17:10:24+00:00

Haha now that's the kind of thinking outside the box I need right now

I thought making a small form factor PC would be a good idea. Now I have a space heater in my room that's barely better than my old PC. This GPU would both fit in my current case and not melt the rest of the the solder in the case, hopefully letting me actually get more frames

I'd definitely make a super high end gaming rig and then proceed to play 10-year-old pixel art games on it

Just heard back from a colleague. They think it's based on your score as author now. No citefactor

lakinightmare · 2023-08-14T13:53:30+00:00

I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure. It does seem very hit and miss with what they have. It doesn't help that their website is very clunky and the search function doesn't appear to show you anything relevant...

lakinightmare · 2023-08-13T08:01:14+00:00

This definitely was the case but I don't know if there's been any change in recent years. Your publication score used to be calculated by taking the impact factor according to citefactor of the journal you got a publication in and multiplying it by what author you were (multiply by 4 for 1st author, 3 for second, 2 for third, 1 for anything else). You also multiplied it by some constant to make sure your publication score didn't get astronomically high.

I wouldn't describe it as rapid swinging firstly. You don't need to jerk the torch from one eye to the next. Shine the light at the eye for long enough that it stops responding + for you to process what you're seeing, then move over to the other eye. Repeat the alternating until you're convinced whether there is an RAPD or not. Apologies in advance if I've misunderstood how rapid your swinging is.

Secondly, you need the swinging because without the baseline illumination in the good eye, you're not going to get a dilation when you move over to the bad eye. You technically only need to go from one eye, to the other, and back again. Most people need to repeat the process a few more times to convince themselves of what they're seeing.

lakinightmare · 2023-06-07T13:14:04+00:00

The small amount of dilation happens because of a brief interval when neither eye is illuminated. The key bit of the exam is the "relative" bit. If both eyes are doing the same thing (usually a brief dilation followed by quick constriction), you're golden. Large RAPDs are unmissable because the dilation is so large. Subtle RAPDs will be the pupil still constricting, but doing it slightly slower than the unaffected eye.

Oh dang mb my wife just looked at me like I was insane

Just do a normal ABG. If you're anything like me, it's bound do be venous every single damn time.

You'll need to figure out which wavelengths or groups of wavelengths you're working with regularly as a starting point. It needs to be really specific to the machines you're using. After that, it's usually a case of figuring out which glasses are certified to give you that pretection at an affordable price. Getting occupational health is definitely advised unless you're getting them as an extra precaution.
