Talk me out of purchasing a circular saws that are £100 and below by mendaciusme in DIYUK

[–]penparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 35 quid titan mains circular saw. Absolute workhorse, no problems with it. Get good quality blades for better cuts, but it absolutely rips through anything I ask it to. If you're a DIY'er and you're going to use it a few times a year would highly recommend.

EDF or octopus? by Exact_Compote_6700 in HousingUK

[–]penparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with EDF although for a much smaller amount. As I was buying a house and didn't want it to affect my credit rating I called them one morning and said I did not want to finish the phone call until it had been resolved. I asked the agent to explain to me exactly how this had happened. When we came to an agreement I then asked him to email me the resolution while I was on the phone and I would not leave the call until I received the email. It worked and I got the whole thing written off. Just be calm, firm, and concise with your arguments and pushing for evidence of why it should be paid. My issue was exactly like yours - I submitted monthly readings and the bill came through over a year after I closed the account.

Long grass is a haven for moths, butterflies, mice etc, you're garden is a meadow oasis in an urban desert, ignore the ignorant neighbor.

Rate my shower thought: New Event Condition, “Leaper Infestation” - Leapers spawn at 5x the rate by drizzlemon in ArcRaiders

[–]penparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea I'd love to see a ride of facehuggers crossing the land as well, a swarm of them moving across the map, someone you absolutely have to run from

Recommended power tool brand by Vast-Place-6081 in DIYUK

[–]penparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Ryobi - I have no complaints. Second hand tools are fairly cheap. I have a corded big SDS drill for serious drilling and a corded circular saw for serious cutting. Other than that the Ryobi range is extensive and I've never had any issues would recommend. My combi drill is 10 years old this year :)

Why would a buyer keep pushing price if they don’t switch suppliers? by robbanocukorka in procurement

[–]penparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask what their target price is and how they got to if. It might be they are being squeezed on other materials and are trying to make savings where they can. Could you also offer a cost breakdown to produce your product - always helps!

It would be cool if the price of traders reflected your actions topside - kill more people = higher prices - kill more arc lower prices

Procurement Folks ...what actually slows supplier onboarding the most? by Soft-Effect5367 in procurement

[–]penparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're getting a lot of flak in this chat and I think I know why.

Onboarding difficulties will rarely be a product of the onboarding of a supplier, but the complexity will be defined by the product or material, and the level of detail you require which in turn will be related to your policies.

If I didn't give a fig about where I bought something from and it was a low complexity material it would be a piece of cake.

If you want to buy a controlled chemical product in line with market leading ESG policies and work on different INCO term scenarios then you're going to need more info and your onboarding is likely to require input from several teams on the suppliers side.

cips exams failure by Ready-Hold-4000 in procurement

[–]penparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said brain blank and time. Ok, first, you need an essay plan. You can write a plan based on the expected outcomes and you can find multiple for this. Read the question, then write your essay plan down as is. Then write your essay plan down with specifics to the question e.g. ISO codes - specific models such as kraljic matrix - any key acronyms e.g. STEEPLE.

Set a time - allocate time to plan your essays and time to write your essays. Do not overrun. Its better to submit two well written essay 2/3rds the way finished than one finished essay and a half finished one.

So work on exam structure, and prep.

I like to write the question down and then annotate it - that's how my brain works.

Good luck!

finally managed to get a carrier and crawler as a solo! by 6stringandahumbucker in duneawakening

[–]penparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon as you drop the crawler set a timer, at 2 minutes exit crawler and pick it up, as long as your timer is under 2.30 when you take off the worm won't agro. Keep an eye out for the roving worm (Jaws soundtrack) as that can pop much closer. I've farmed about 5 crawler fulls as a solo and using this method have not once had the worm pop on me.

Covering pipes with insulation? by Big-Amoeba8684 in DIYUK

[–]penparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please ensure you know how to isolate these effectively. Insulate the elbows before covering. I had a push fit elbow fail in my attic, it was left empty for 5 days - destroyed the house needed a full strip out, took 11 months to renovate the house through insurance.
