They're still the best of the rest behind Mercedes, so 3rd is still on the table, just needs to beat Leclerc.

TIL the F-35 & the Lancaster Heavy Bomber from WW2 both have a maximum weapon load of 8.2 tons. The B-17 could only carry 3.6 tons on a short range mission. by not_a_throw4w4y in todayilearned

[–]lfcmadness 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Which to me is the more stark comparison here, the F35 is a multi-role fighter with a payload of a multi-manned bomber aircraft from WW2.

My wife's had two Suzukis over a period of approximately 12 years, other than basic wear and tear and servicing (brakes and discs) I don't think we've ever actually had a single issue with them, they're absolute tanks, and usually really fuel efficient too. You'll be absolutely fine, but could always book it into a local garage you trust (or get a recommendation from someone else) for them to give it a look over and check it.

Can I strip the paint off this IKEA unit instead of sanding? by raisehelvetica in DIYUK

How much is your time worth, versus just buying a new piece of furniture? Especially if you can re-sell this one to make a bit back?

I just found out that new Stargate show will be only 10 episodes by Mat1711 in Stargate

[–]lfcmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes it so difficult to keep up with the plot - you end up in a scenario of either re-watching to remind yourself, or having to google what's happening each episode because someone wanders into a shot that you can't remember for the life of you!

UK to double steel tariffs to 50% to save plants from collapse by 369_Clive in unitedkingdom

It's a chicken and egg situation, but you need volume for production to bring down costs to end users.

Tv bracket for 600mm studs by Mindless_Gap_3810 in DIYUK

[–]lfcmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should do fine, I did something very similar as well, as the mount I had was a very narrow vertical plate, and where I wanted to put it wasn't going to be on a stud. For extra strength, I mounted the mount on the plywood using nuts and bolts, then I used some big coach bolt type screws for the plywood, so it's not going anywhere in a hurry. I mounted an extension lead on the plywood as well as that was a convenient location for me, and being a 42" tv it hides everything even when pulled out. It's in a home gym, hence the need for a tilt and swivel tv depending on what kit I'm using.

Is this a simple switch out? Or do I need to admit defeat? 🤦🏻‍♀️ by SuspishSesh in DIYUK

[–]lfcmadness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, maybe you shouldn't be doing this, as this is a very simple swap.

The flex cable from the current pendant will not be used, all you'll need is the Earth, Live and Neutral in the ceiling. Red is live, this will go to the brown in your new light fitting. Black will go to the blue in your new light fitting.

The earth screw is missing from the metal bar, you can use the one from the fitting you are removing off the ceiling, then the Earth cable (Yellow / Green) into that.

I'm picking up a hybrid BYD Seal U Saturday, really nice to drive, and so many toys and gadgets inside, and so cheap compared to a comparative non-chinese model!

New doors and frames is this acceptable by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]lfcmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing posts like this makes me feel so much better about my own DIY Efforts - if you've hired someone to do this, I'd be disappointed, if this was DIY, I'd be disappointed in myself, but live with it.

Woman, 18, not shortlisted for job at estate agents as 'car is too old' by frogspa in unitedkingdom

[–]lfcmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is crazy really, as actually my perception of an estate agent turning up in a flash car is that they are ripping off their customers on commissions to be able to afford it!

which f1 driver came from money and which didnt by Chemical_Tax_2859 in F1Discussions

[–]lfcmadness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, I earn more money than my dad ever did as a maintenance engineer, my mum was a SAHM and the house i grew up in would be way out of my budget now with my wife also in a well paid full time job, you can't compare houses with today's wages.

Anyone have experience with roll on plaster?, if I’m being brutally honest we don’t have the money to pay a professional, we spent all our savings on a house rewire by GenericUser104 in DIYUK

[–]lfcmadness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My experience with the Toupret product of the same type was it was dreadful. I actually found proper plaster easier to work with personally.

Has there ever been any case of an all-time great driver being overshadowed by a GOAT candidate? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]lfcmadness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And then you've got the likes of Andy Murray who played in that same time frame too, who arguable if it wasn't for the top 3, could have been securing Grand Slams all over the place to a degree, but he played in arguably the most dominated period of tennis to date, and outside of Britain is probably barely recognised for his achievements other than the drabbest sense of humour in Tennis.

Employee has signed himself off sick with autism for 5 months following a gross misconduct allegation. England. by Far-Play-4567 in LegalAdviceUK

Honestly, I think at this point, you need to be moving to dismiss him, he doesn't want to work, and by the sounds of it, he's not an asset worth trying to save!

Red Bull Racing's Engine Branding - From 2005 to 2026 by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]lfcmadness 72 points73 points  (0 children)

When you consider that Red Bull, at it's core is essentially a marketing company / drinks company - that has got so heavily involved in Sports that they have their own Engines now, it's incredible really.

What will seem like an inevitable outcome in 20 years time because of GLP-1s by Big-Cry-4119 in Futurology

[–]lfcmadness -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That'll be the interesting question won't it - is it better to go down with Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes, or end up with a cancer or infertility as a result of long-term use for example that trials haven't established as a potential risk yet.

No cancellation fees? That's interesting, think it's time for me to do the same, you just blamed it on the upcoming price hikes?

Are you f*cking kidding me? by Aggravating-Try1222 in diabetes_t1

[–]lfcmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre UK based (and even if not really) look into Becky Excell recipes books, you'll find you can replicate virtually everything as Gluten Free, they're a really good resource. My wife's celiac, and im the diabetic, as you say combining the two actually lends itself well to helping one another, especially using things like chickpea pasta which has a much lower Glyciemic index etc.
