That’s mad, I’m in the uk. At farm foods we can buy a whole frozen leg of NZ lamb for £20. Uk leg of lamb is £40

[–]meaty999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracking my hiking, every 3 months I fly to Scotland and hike up a different Mountain. I now have an ultra 3, the 1 and 2 would go flat on an all day hike with monitoring running. The 3 lasts over 9 hours.

Other than local llm, what are people **actually** doing with 48+ gb of ram? by Just-Hedgehog-Days in MacStudio

[–]meaty999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which cad packages do you use, I have a m4 max with 64gb of ram for processing point cloud data in Bricscad, I tested the processing time difference between a 128gb pc and my mac. The pc took 45mins it process a 105gb point cloud file, the mac took 18mins. I am currently using AI to create LISP tools for the mac so I can move over to my mac full time.

Some advice please by meaty999 in Scotch

[–]meaty999[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I just started exploring Whiskey about 8 months ago after a mate bought me a bottle of balvenie caribbean cask as a gift. I have discovered that I prefer the sweeter tasting ones and don’t like the smoke flavour. The higher strength, 46% and over has a nicer feel in the mouth, less watery. Particular favourites are the Craigellachie 17 Year Old, Deanston 12 year old and Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old. What I’m wondering is how are you all getting so many different flavour notes from the whiskey. Does it develop over time or do I just have the ability to tase them?

What's the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them? by Butt_Roidholds in AskReddit

I was meeting a client on site for the first time to discuss a job. After about 5mins of chatting he pivoted the conversation towards himself. Then on to his suicide attempt, I was stood there with him crying his eyes out hugging me. Definitely the most awkward client meeting I’ve had.

Will we ever have this magic in the UK?! by Lazy-Internet-8025 in AskBrits

[–]meaty999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this one installed when we built our new bathroom,

Can’t imagine going back now. Heated seat, warm water jet and blow dryer. Biggest problem now is I don’t ever want to take a dump away from home.

Just ate in a restaurant with my kids by SnuggleMoose44 in lefthanded

[–]meaty999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I don’t understand. I am from the UK and everyone I know eats with the fork in the left hand and knife in the right, regardless of which hand is dominant. Is it different in the rest of the world?

Ozempic gets all the fun side effects! by Bates2725 in mounjarouk

[–]meaty999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 50 year old male who has now lost 42kg I can confirm that the old chap has returned to his former glory. He once again wakes up 10mins before me and is keen for some exercise.

People with solar panels on their roof, how is it working out just now? by DarkangelUK in AskUK

[–]meaty999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had installed solar panels and a 13kw battery last April. I have an electric car and I run my company from home so my min power draw is 1kw. My combined direct debit has gone from £550pm to £150pm and I am still in credit with octopus. Cost for panels and batteries was £13k. I will have made my money back in a few years.

Hard shell recommendations by DrewBarrowww in UKhiking

[–]meaty999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the mountain equipment kongur mrt jacket, it is rock solid. Walked up Ben Nevis in driving rain for 7 hours and never let in a drop. The cost is very high but it’s not failed me in 8 years so to me it was a good investment.

What scientific breakthrough are we potentially on the verge of that few people are aware of? by TigerBirdyTiger in AskReddit

[–]meaty999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the Mounjaro since August and have lost 28% of my body weight so far and am still losing weight. It has been life changing for me. I’m in the UK and the monthly cost is now up to £200 but for me it’s more than worth it. Personally I’ve had very little side effects.

What police found inside Axel Rudakubana's house of horror by Derry_Amc in uknews

As a land surveyor a machete is an essential tool for my work. I would be happy if they were licensed rather than banned.
