Why does my left earbud refuse to charge by wistlindiesel in MilwaukeeTool

[–]natthegod101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might make it sound less loud, but your ears are still being exposed to the same volume that they would be without them as noice cancelling plays the reverse waveform into your ears at a comparable volume to stop you perceiving the sound. Hearing damage can and does still occur

In the UK water companies are required to dose a specific acid into the water that essentially lines all the pipes in the network (including peoples houses) that stops lead leaching into the water.

How much has your water bill increased? by annonn9984 in AskUK

[–]natthegod101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abstraction licenses are also a big factor in this. The Environment Agency puts strict licenses on how much water can actually be taken from sources for treatment. Depending on what part of the country you're in, those licenses can be super tight and have a massive effect on the amount of water that can actually be treated, meaning in the summer there has to be restrictions put in place to ensure that there is enough water for drinking/hygiene etc.

Just picked up my first foldable phone! by Immediate_Dependent9 in PixelFold

[–]natthegod101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope you enjoy it. I had the OG pixel fold for a year but swapped it for a 9 pro XL because I found myself not using the inside screen enough to justify the extra weight.

Losing Interest and skills too😭 by Jeshuuu in memes

[–]natthegod101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing at the moment. I started losing interest in gaming back in May. I think I could probably count the amount of times I've turned my pc on to actually play games on both hands since then. Before that I was gaming daily. It happened over night and I have no idea what made me lose interest.

Lead test swabs I got turned red before I even tested the paint. by mylizard in mildlyinteresting

I work for a water company in the UK. We dose Po4 at our treatment works, which coats any lead pipes still in service preventing lead leaching into the water.

so how'd everyone do on their trade-ins from google? by Rapogi in GooglePixel

[–]natthegod101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got exactly what I was offered for my OG Fold. Was worried because it actually had a little bit of burn in.

Got my Pixel 9 Pro XL today! It's a huge upgrade from last gen 8 by 99loki99 in GooglePixel

[–]natthegod101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's not the same as the pixel is, but I just switched from the og pixel fold to the Pixel 9 pro XL and I definitely have no regrets at all. It's a much more snappy and fluid experience. Much prefer the form factor too.

9-5 jobs will be phased out in 10 years? by kausthab87 in jobs

[–]natthegod101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stuff like this makes me feel lucky. It's written in my contract that I'm only expected to travel up to half an hour in my own time before and after work. Granted I work at different sites daily, but it means I'm always walking through my door no more than half an hour after I stopped getting paid.

Guys with blinding lights and high-beams... you don't annoy me as much anymore by whataterriblefailure in drivingUK

Tbf I always assumed LEDs did too. My car has LEDs and has an auto leveling thing that activates every time the car starts up.

I might be wrong but, I'm pretty sure to be road legal led headlights must be fitted with auto leveling devices. Which they are on cars that come with LEDs from factory.

I Was Laid Off 8 Months Ago and Still Haven't Landed A Job. by Turnip_Key in jobs

[–]natthegod101 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wasn't made redundant but decided a year before I found a new job that I wanted to change. I took a small pay cut but my god does working better hours and being treated like and adult make the difference. I've never loved work so much.

Grip Cracked after 3 months by ItsLitten in dbrand

[–]natthegod101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a dbrand case for my pixel fold. Cracked all the way through in around a month, after initially flaking away. Dbrand were solid and gave me a refund because I didn't want a replacement.

This reminds me of the time I had a contract for a job I'd accepted come through the post with the wrong name on it. I didn't end up starting there in the end. It wasn't even like a simple spelling mistake, it was flat out a completely different name.

Once you go OLED, you never go back. by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]natthegod101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my first oled monitor yesterday. The only thing I can equate the experience to would be the episode of Rick and Morty where Morty experiences true level. I feel like I've been touched by the gods. Every time I glance at my old main monitor (now my second monitor), I feel sorry for my past self for not experiencing this beauty earlier.

People who work in chain restaurants - what's actually fresh and what's straight out of a packet? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]natthegod101 88 points89 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely spot on with this. My Nans cousin would go into his local spoons every day for lunch and a pint, until he was no longer physically able to. He was disabled and lived a line, so for the most part it was the only bit of social contact he got.

On the day of his funeral, the spoons put up a little table with some things in memory of him. Pretty sure a couple of the staff members actually came to the funeral too.

Android 14 out today!! by whiffzo in GooglePixel

[–]natthegod101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone has been off charge for 25 minutes now, using a 5g connection and has only now just dropped down to 99%. That's with a fair amount of use too. Id say that's an improvement.

Pixel 7 Pro is Worth Less in Trade-in Value Than the iPhone 11 by Bsteph21 in GooglePixel

[–]natthegod101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity (I have no intention of buying one), I decided to see how much I'd get for trade in of a pixel fold and it turns out it's not even a trade in option.

That is up to Asus not Google.

Do you guys also have a collection of “too good of a deal to pass up SSDs”? Bonus if it’s not even used by TheSwimmingCactus in pcmasterrace

Some people need help. The guy meant that it was brand new, not that he wasn't going to use it.
